The demon clan is of all kinds, tens of millions of races, and many bloodlines, and most of them have a long lifespan. The demon clan attaches great importance to the bloodline, and those with strong bloodlines are born as kings! Those with weak bloodlines are born with humility, and are even labeled as slaves.

They are not good at the power of the law, but they are strong in their own qi and blood, so in terms of martial arts cultivation, they will prefer to temper their own physical bodies. But after reaching a certain realm, I have to start to comprehend the law, after all, not every demon clan has those powerful bloodlines that can carry the power of the law in the flesh.

Moreover, although the demon race is inferior to the human race in comprehending the laws, some big demons with aristocratic bloodlines, they are born with an affinity for a certain system of laws, which is a talent that humans do not have.

The demon race can be divided into three major races: heavenly demons, earth demons, and ancient demons.

Among them, the Heavenly Demon is the nobleman of the demon clan, all of them have a long history, and there is the noble blood of the ancient demon flowing in their bodies, but the richness of the bloodline varies greatly among the disciples of different families.

The Heavenly Demon is a high-level demon race, but its appearance is biased towards the human race, and it is born in the form of a human baby, except for the difference in the nature of the bloodline, the appearance is almost the same. Members with a strong enough bloodline can awaken the power of the ancient demon clan as they grow! They can incarnate into ancient demons, which is their ultimate combat form.

The gap between the Earth Demon and the Sky Demon is huge.

They are actually some beasts, plants and trees, after growing up for a long enough time, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, one day suddenly generating spiritual wisdom, slowly cultivating the Tao, and finally turning into human form. They possess human-like intelligence, and the number of offspring is getting bigger and bigger, and they slowly evolve into a clan of goblins.

When the descendants of the earth demon are just born, they often still have the form of demon beasts, such as babies with canine teeth, claws, hair, tails, etc., and they can completely transform by slowly cultivating.

When the Earth Demon Clan faces the Heavenly Demon Clan, they have an innate inferiority complex, but in the face of the Human Race, they have an innate sense of superiority. The physique of the earth demon clan is obviously stronger than that of the human race, but the understanding is far inferior to the human race, and the IQ is still worse than that of the human race.

The ancient demons are actually the ancestors of the heavenly demon clan, they are the beginning of the formation of the universe, the essence of heaven and earth, and they are the first generation of life in this universe, similar to the natural gods.

The ancient demons have a strong mythological color, such as the ancient demon dragon in the legend of the demon clan, Bai Ze and so on. They can also reproduce, but their reproductive ability is ridiculously low, and the number of ancient demons was originally scarce, and later, it was almost extinct.

The Twelve Ancient Demon Gods are the twelve powerful ancient demons born from the beginning of the formation of the universe, the beginning of chaos, and the heavens and the earth, they should not even be called 'ancient demons', they are natural gods.

The first nine of the twelve demon gods are: Sun Candle Shine, Taiyin Netherworld, Houtu Dao Tree, Dragon Emperor, Colorful Phoenix, Kunpeng, Heavenly Man, Lethe River, and Silence. In addition to these nine demon gods, the remaining three demon gods are a mystery.

The twelve demon gods are the saying of the demon race, and the twelve ancestors are the saying of the human race. In fact, the twelve demon gods and the demon race are not closer to the human race, in the final analysis, the twelve demon gods actually symbolize the beginning of the heavenly way.

In this respect, it is more appropriate to use the name of the Twelve Dao Ancestors of the Human Race.

Only the demon clan of the Ten Thousand Demon Emperor Heaven called them demon gods, believing that the twelve demon gods were the ancestors of the demon race, but in fact, there were also human races, and the twelve demon gods were identified as their own ancestor totems.

In Kyushu, China, there is a scripture called "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", which records these monsters.

Dayu used to control the water, exhausted his energy, filled the abyss with resting soil, painted the ground with the dragon, killed the giant against the wind, chased the water god to work, punished the hydra, and locked the demon ape without a branch Qi in the foot of the turtle mountain...... Defeat the demons in the world, and the country is finally at peace.

At this time, Dayu is already very old, he knows the power of the demons, worried that after his death, this generation will be resurrected, there will be no one to control, so he collected the gold of Kyushu, cast into nine Yu Ding, the picture on the tripod is engraved with Vientiane, Lin Zeyue blasphemy, the charm of the ghost, the dragon, the snake and the tiger, the mountain demon and the sea monster, all of them are complete, with great divine power, enough to suppress all evil demons.

And "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" is the atlas on the tripod.

In addition to animals and plants, there are also non-living things such as mountain spirits, stone monsters, and even tables, chairs, and benches, which can also be cultivated into essences. As for the issue of age, whether it is an animal or a plant, the time it takes to cultivate to become refined is quite long, and just a few decades is not enough.

There are many animals that have cultivated to perfection, and the one who is best at cultivating and most likely to succeed in cultivation is the fox.

Volume 10 of "Notes on Reading Wei Caotang" says: "The characters are different, the fox is between the characters, the dark and bright are different, and the fox is between the dark and bright." The fairy and the demon have different paths, and the fox is between the fairy and the demon, so it is said that the fox is strange, and it is also common to meet the fox. "Foxes are between humans and animals, yin and yang, and fairies and demons, that is, they are the closest to humans mentally, so they are most likely to succeed in cultivation.

Of course, the time for fox cultivation is by no means short, as mentioned in the above article, a certain Confucian is friends with an old pedantic fox spirit, and every time the fox spirit chats with him, he always advises him to cultivate, saying, we can work hard for one or two hundred years before we can cultivate into a human body, and experience food and drink like you humans, men and women, birth, old age, sickness and death.

Only then can you continue to cultivate to ascend to the Immortal Realm. You are now a human body, which is equivalent to most of your success, and you are still so muddy, you would rather die with the grass and trees, which is a pity.

Regarding the process of cultivation and upgrading, as well as the advantages of human beings over fox spirits, the article "Fox Scholars Persuade People to Cultivate Immortals" in Volume 1 of "Zi Bu Yu" is more detailed: "Like a fox, learning immortals is the most difficult. Learn the human form first, and then learn the human language. Those who learn the language of birds must first learn the language of birds, and those who learn the language of birds must learn the language of birds from all over the world.

Omnipotent, and then able to speak as a human voice, in human form, has been in the form of a human for 500 years. People learn immortals, and they have 500 years less work than heterogeneous immortals. If nobles and literati learn immortals, they will save three hundred years of merit compared with mortals. The great rate of learning immortals, thousands of years to become, this theorem also. ”

Now the demon clan is attacking the Two Realms Mountain, also for their survival home.

When Xie Baoshu was a child, he had heard some stories of "plants and trees becoming essences".

The trees were originally quiet, not agitated, however, in the pictorial of the Great Sui, the trees became spirits, mostly hideous and terrifying, and people were helpless. Compared with the ferocity of animal spirits, tree spirits are not inferior.

The hideous and terrifying tree spirit, but afraid of the carpenter, just like some animal spirit monsters will be afraid of the butcher, some Confucianism believes that the carpenter is equivalent to the butcher of the tree, and the body has accumulated too much murderous energy, so it will make the tree spirit feel afraid.

There are several willow trees next to the avenue in Shandong Plain County, all of which are thick and hugging, one day, the trunk of the willow tree is cracked, "the belly of the tree is cracked out and the characters are counted", the shepherd boy saw it, and rushed to pick it up. These little people are only an inch long, some wear crowns, some wear small hats, some men and women, some old and young, different lengths, but they are all full of energy, and there are donkeys, mules, cows, horses and other livestock, small and cute, just like the real thing, is this made in heaven, or is there a craftsman who makes it to play tricks on people?

The legend of the villain has existed since ancient times. "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" has a villainous country, and "Liezi" has a small country, all of which are small villains. Tang Dynasty Duan Chengshi "Youyang Miscellaneous Tales" said that Li Zhangwu had a specimen of a Chinese national, about three inches long, complete limbs, and distinct facial features. Later generations of Lilliputian stories mostly evolved from these classical sources.

Wang Tingzuo of Zhili Hejian Mansion was riding a horse at night and was blocked by a big tree. This was the road he often walked, and he remembered that there was no big tree here, so he had to bypass it, but he knew that the tree could move, or it was in front of him, and the horse gradually became tired, and the man fell into confusion.

At this time, two carpenters that Wang Tingzuo knew before passed by. The two carpenters saw Wang Tingzuo standing stupidly, and for some reason, Wang Tingzuo pointed to the tree and said that the tree was strange. The two carpenters were already drunk at that time, and shouted loudly: "There is still a big beam missing from the Buddha hall, and I happened to meet a big tree." The two men took axes and saws and went straight to the tree, which turned into a whirlwind and disappeared on the spot.

When a great Confucian heard about this, he thought that the tree spirits were afraid of the carpenters, just as the fox spirits were afraid of the hunters, and that the power accumulated in them was enough to deter the demons.

Li Wei, that is, Li Shu is a monster. The most vicious of the grass and tree spirits is the Li monster in Chang'an. There is a local surname rich in the world, there is a big garden at home, there is a plum tree in the garden, several people hug together, up to more than 100 feet, it is an ancient tree of hundreds of years. There was an old man, dressed in a crimson robe and a gauze hat, who appeared on the top of a tree, looking at the wind and the moon. The family picked up stones and threw them at him, and the old man became angry and began to make trouble, and the family continued to get sick, and the clothes were automatically broken, and there was no peace.

The master was worried, and he invited monks and monks, but he couldn't defeat Li Wei. After that, another mob, in the shape of a monkey, flickered on the tree and threw stones down from a great height. Li Wei's disaster could not be eliminated in the end, and the family's assets were also lost countless as a result.

The plum tree is fine, and there is a big one and a small one, the big one is wearing crimson, which is also the color of a simulated plum, and the little monster who helps the abuse does not know what it is. It's rare for a youkai to be so vicious.

In Kyushu, there are also all kinds of monsters, but compared to the outside world, they are honest.

There is an old man in Yuanzhou Village, who has a strict and honest personality, and his family is also rich in wealth, which is valued by the people of a township.

One day, a large group of people surrounded a young man in purple, who came to the door to ask for entertainment, and the staff did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly prepared good wine and meat to set up a banquet to entertain them, and the staff also personally served on the side.

But after a while, the staff suddenly thought: "Whether it is an official of the state capital or an envoy of the imperial court, there is a special place for hospitality, how can they come to my house to ask for something to eat?"

When the young man realized this, he said to the outsider: "If you doubt me, I can no longer hide it, I am not an ordinary man, but a mountain god here." ”

The outsider was startled and bowed down to the tunnel: People are constantly worshipping you every day, how can you be so depressed that you have to beg for food?"

The mountain god replied, "All human beings sacrifice to me for blessings, but when I am beyond my strength, if I cannot bestow blessings on others, I will not dare to enjoy the sacrifices he has given me." I heard that you are an elder, so I came to ask you for a meal. ”

After eating, the boy left his seat and said goodbye, and disappeared as soon as he went out.

The god of the mountain and the river is also a monster, and sometimes, it is very fun.

Min Chu, a monk of Fayun Temple in Guangling, once had a very good relationship with a businessman surnamed Zhang, and when the businessman surnamed Zhang died, Min Chu also recited scriptures for him.

And just a few months later, at the bazaar, Min Chu actually met this dead merchant surnamed Zhang again. At that time, Min Chu had not yet eaten, so the merchant invited him into the restaurant and chatted while eating.

Min Chu asked the merchant, "You are dead, why are you still here?"

The merchant replied, "Because I had a small sin in my life, and I will not be able to escape my hard work after death, I am now worthy of being a leftover child in Yangzhou." ”

Minchu asks what is plunder?

The merchant replied, "All the people of the world have a certain amount of profit that they can make in their business, and what is more than a certain amount is a surplus, and I can plunder it for myself." There are many people like me in this world. As he spoke, he pointed to the people who came and went on the street and said, "Someone, someone, just like me." After a while, a monk passed by, and the merchant said, "This monk too." The merchant also called the monk to him, and the two talked for a long time, but the monk never noticed Min Chu, who was sitting next to him.

After sitting for a while, the merchant and Min Chu went out into the street, and met a woman selling flowers, and the merchant pointed to her and said, "This woman's flower is also sold by ghosts, and only ghosts can use this flower, and this flower is useless in the world." ”

After that, the merchant paid for one and gave it to Min Chu and said, "Anyone who laughs when he sees this flower is a ghost." Then he took his leave. The flower is red and delicate, very cute, but it is extraordinarily heavy, Min Chu held this flower, and walked towards the temple in a daze, along the way, many people smiled after seeing the flower.

When I was about to enter the temple, Min Chu suddenly realized that I had been in contact with the ghost for so long, and I was still holding the flower given by the ghost in my hand, which was not a good thing after all, so he threw the flower into the ditch on the side of the road, and when the flower fell into the water, a clear sound could be heard.

After returning to the temple, the other monks found that Min Chu's face was wrong, thinking that he had been poisoned, and hurriedly brought a decoction for him to drink, and it took a long time to recover, and then told people what happened along the way. So the people went together to look for the flowers that Min Chu threw in the ditch, but there were no flowers at all, only the severed palm of a dead man.

An official named Ma Ju was going to Shuzhong to take up his post, and it was after the war, and he was taking a small road, so there was no one on the way.

After nightfall, he came to a pavilion, and when he heard the voice of someone talking under the east corridor, he went over and explained his purpose, and hoped that he could stay overnight. The voice just said, "There is a bed in the middle hall, go to sleep if you like." ”

Seeing his cold attitude, Ma Ju didn't say anything more and went to the middle hall by himself. When he arrived at the church, he called for a fire to light a lamp, and the other person replied, "There is no fire." So he called for a mat again, and in a moment, a roll of mats flew out of the neighboring house, which could weigh more than a dozen catties, and it was a hidden weapon when he smashed it. But Ma Ju was naturally ambitious and courageous, so he didn't mind it, and spread out the mat and lay down to sleep.

In the middle of the night, suddenly there was a black shadow that looked like a monkey, tiptoeing onto Ma Ju's bed, and he didn't know what he wanted to do.

After dawn, Ma Ju said goodbye to the owner of the pavilion in a loud voice, but the other party hid in the room and said to Ma Ju angrily: "I saw you alone last night, and kindly asked my son to be your companion, but you are good, you almost didn't kill him!"

The horse lifted forward to push the door, but could not push it open, and looked through the gap and saw that there was no one inside, only dust.

During the first year of Tang Xianzong, there was a scholar named Wei Sigong who was from Luoyang, and he had a good relationship with two young scholars of the same age, one surnamed Dong and the other surnamed Wang, and went to study in a temple in Songshan together.

There is a mountain spring in the northeast of this temple, and there is a large stone basin polished on the rock at the mouth of the spring for the monks to draw water. The circumference of the large basin is more than ten meters, and it can probably hold ten hundredths of water.

He then stepped forward and dismounted to greet the Taoist priest: "The Taoist chief is polite, but if you accidentally get lost, I hope the Taoist chief can show you the way back to the city!"

This Taoist priest looks like he is thirty or forty years old, with three locks of black beard under his chin, a thin face, and a pair of eyes that are as bright as a torch, and he also smiled and snorted after seeing Lu Junchang, and said: "I didn't expect to meet Tai Shou in this wilderness, there is a way back to the city three miles west from here, the noble man should hurry up and beat the horse, I'm afraid I will be in the rain if I stop for a while!"

Lu Junchang looked at the sky, the sun was shining, there was no cloud, how could it rain?

The dog's waist was slender, but his chest was full of muscles, and he swayed as he walked, as if he was about to fall down and touch the ground. Lu Junchang didn't look like hunting dogs when he saw these two dogs, and it was even more strange for this monk to bring two dogs.

"Dao Chief, where are you going?"

"You don't need to ask, the wind and rain are urgent, let's go quickly!" the Taoist priest said and walked forward quickly.

Lu Junchang shook his head

The Taoist priest is gone. He hurriedly got on his horse and chased after him, but he didn't even catch up with him after running out of the tea!

I heard two dog barks in my ears, and I saw the two big white dogs running towards a small lake just now, but there was no Taoist priest in sight.

Lu Junchang was about to urge the horse forward and go to the lake to have a look.

I saw the two dogs "plop" twice and jumped into the lake.

In an instant, I saw the surface of the lake surging and stirring, the water vapor steamed, and then the water in the entire lake seemed to be boiling, and suddenly two huge white dragons jumped out of the lake, winding and coiling, and flew straight into the sky!

Datang has no subjective religious beliefs, and it has embraced many religious schools with strong self-confidence and tolerance.

There are many sects in the Tang Dynasty, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism have become a three-legged trend at this time, as well as foreign Nestorian Christianity, Zoroastrianism, Manichaeism, etc., which have been rejected and suppressed to varying degrees in the birthplace, but they have been courteous and respected in the Tang Dynasty.

Buddhism was introduced to China from the Han Dynasty and reached its peak during the Tang Dynasty.

Tang Xuanzang set off to the west to learn scriptures, and Tang Taizong Li Shimin sent him off with wine, and worshiped him as a brother, calling Xuanzang "royal brother". Taizong Yuzhi picked up a pinch of dust, flicked it into the wine, and Yin Yin entrusted: "The days are long, the mountains are far away, and the royal brother can enter this wine: I would rather love a twist of soil in my hometown, and I don't love ten thousand taels of gold in another country."

One morning many years ago, the atmosphere of the Chinese culture in Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, was solemn, and a grand ceremony was being held here. Shi Dian was originally a ceremony for the imperial court to worship the ancestor Confucius, but this ceremony was extraordinary.

Because the participants in this ceremony were not only Dr. Xu Wenyuan and Dr. Lu Deming, who were the great Confucian scholars of the current generation, but also Tang Gaozu specially invited representatives of Buddhism and Taoism: Shamen Huicheng of Chang'an Shengguang Temple and Shamen Daoyue of Puguang Temple, and Qingxuguan Taoist Liu Jinxi and Li Zhongqing.

During this period, the three masters Liu Jinxi, Xu Wenyuan and Huicheng successively ascended to the throne to give lectures, and then debated with each other, and the atmosphere was extremely warm. Learn, ponder, struggle, integrate. Various religions such as Taoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism achieved unprecedented prosperity and development during the Tang Dynasty.

It's a country of sorts. From the order of various occasions, it can be seen that different characters and the groups and forces they represent have the priority in the hearts of the masters. From the order of this lecture on the three religions, it is foreseeable that the local Taoism will receive more support from the Li and Tang dynasties. This is exactly the case, and although Taoism has always been weak in the face of Buddhism, it became the state religion of the Tang Dynasty.

Datang attaches great importance to the Buddha, why does he take the Tao as the state religion, because the Tao is the culture of the native native country, so he takes Taoism as the state religion, because of Lao Tzu's thought. There is another one, to be specific, from a microscopic point of view, Lao Tzu's surname is Li, the ancestor of the Li family in the Tang Dynasty, some people say that Li Yuan in order to raise the family, posthumously recognized Lao Tzu as an ancestor, so Taoism is called the state religion.

The cause can be traced back to the rise of the peasant uprising at the end of the Sui Dynasty, when the folk circulated the ballad of "Lao Tzu lives the world, and the Li family is the king", Li Yuan said that the emperor repeatedly declared that "the Li family will prosper, and Tianzuo will respond", which means that it is the will of God for the Li family to dominate the world.

Li Shimin inherited his father's statement and more clearly declared that he was a descendant of Lao Tzu Li Er. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty issued an edict to continue to place Taoism above Buddhism, and further consolidated the position of Taoism as the state religion of the Tang Dynasty by means of political power.

Tang Gaozong held the first Zen ceremony since Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty in Mount Tai, and this ceremony was shrouded in a faint Taoist color. Just after the ceremony, Gaozong ordered every state in the country to have a temple and a temple, which was the first time in history that Taoism had a state-supported palace network across the country.

Tang Gaozong, who came down from Mount Tai, made a special detour to Guyang County, Bozhou, the hometown of Lao Tzu, and renamed it Zhenyuan County. He officially posthumously honored Lao Tzu as the "Emperor Taishang Xuanyuan", established an ancestral temple, and sent officials to carry out daily management. From then on, Taoism had a more special place in the Tang Dynasty religion.

Tang Xuanzong also respected Taoism, Tang Xuanzong personally dedicated the Taiqing Palace in Chang'an, and posthumously honored Lao Tzu as: the Great Sage Ancestor Gao Shang Dao Jinque Xuanyuan Emperor the Great, the pursuit of Taoism and fanaticism reached an unprecedented height.

During the period of Xuanzong, the Taiqing Palace in Laozi's hometown also received the attention of the state, it is said that it covers an area of eight hectares and seventy-two acres at that time, around forty miles, the scale reached its peak, Qionglou Yuyu, golden and brilliant, comparable to the royal palace.

It was an era before Liu Kanshan, and a Taoist named Sun Simiao appeared, and the Daomen had many believers in the Tang Dynasty.

One Sun Simiao can be worth hundreds of real people.

Sun Simiao was born in the Western Wei Dynasty for seven years, self-proclaimed "young by the wind cold, repeatedly made medical doors, decoction of medicine, exhausted family property", Sun Simiao was thirsty for learning in his childhood, extensive knowledge, but later suffered from illness, often asked doctors for treatment, spent a lot of family wealth, so, he was determined to practice medicine.

Sun Simiao is a young man who is good to read, talented and intelligent, when he was seven years old, he knew more than 1,000 words, and he could recite thousands of words of articles every day.

At the age of eighteen, he decided to study medicine, "quite conscious and enlightened, and he has benefited people who have diseases and misfortunes in their neighbors and countries." At the age of twenty, he was able to talk eloquently about the doctrines of Lao Tzu and Zhuangzi, and was known as the "Holy Child" in the classics of the Jing Dao family, and began to treat the diseases of his neighbors.

When Emperor Jing of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yang Jian was in charge of the government and summoned Sun Simiao to be Dr. Guozi.

In the first year of Emperor Kaihuang of the Sui Dynasty, seeing that there were many state affairs, Sun Simiao lived in seclusion in Taibai Mountain. On the one hand, he devoted himself to the study of medical works, and on the other hand, he personally collected herbs and studied pharmacology. Conscientiously study ancient medical books such as "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing", "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases", and "Shennong's Materia Medica".

At the same time, he has widely collected the prescriptions circulated among the people, and has been enthusiastic about treating people's diseases, and has accumulated a lot of valuable clinical experience. From theory to practice, and then from practical experience to refine new medical research results, he devoted his life to writing the medical works "Qianjin Yao Fang" and "Qianjin Yifang".

The king of medicine, Sun Simiao, attaches great importance to the prevention of diseases, stresses the view of prevention first, adheres to the method of syndrome differentiation and treatment, and believes that if people are good at life, they should be free from disease. As long as "a good doctor guides him with medicine and saves him with injections", "there are curable diseases in the body, and there are disasters that can be eliminated in heaven and earth".

He also proposed that "survival does not forget death, safety does not forget danger", emphasizing that "it is better to regulate qi, tonify laxatives, massage and guide every day, and do not take health as a matter of course." He advocated paying attention to personal hygiene, attaching importance to sports and health care, and put forward the idea of disease prevention and treatment combining dietary therapy, drug therapy, health preservation, nourishment, and health care.

Sun Simiao also studied acupuncture and moxibustion, and wrote "Mingtang Acupuncture and Moxibustion", which uses acupuncture as an adjunct therapy to medicine. He believes that "the way of good medicine is to first diagnose the pulse and prescribe it, followed by acupuncture, and help each other internally and externally, so that the disease must be cured." "Actively advocate comprehensive treatment of the disease.

In the process of researching medicine, Sun Simiao mixed sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal into powder, which was used to make alchemy.

Sun Simiao also summarized the diagnosis and treatment methods of good doctors: "The courage is big but the heart is small, the wisdom is round and the action is the prescription." "Boldness" means to have the confidence and temperament of a martial artist; "small heart" means to be as cautious and cautious as walking on thin ice and landing on the edge of a cliff; "Zhiyuan" means to be flexible and changeable in the face of trouble, not to be rigid, and to have the ability to control the enemy's opportunity first; and "Xingfang" means not to be greedy for fame and profit, and to have an open world in one's heart. ”

"A Thousand Golden Prescriptions" Sun believes that "human life is the most important, there are precious thousand gold, one party is beneficial, and virtue is more than this", so his two works are named "Thousand Gold" Eryu, named "Thousand Gold Prescription".

Sun Simiao attaches great importance to medical ethics, regardless of "the rich and the poor, the young and the old, the relatives and friends, and the foolishness of Huayi". It is said that "human life is the most important, and there are precious daughters". He believed that the only duty of the doctor should be to relieve the suffering of the patient, and the others should be "without desire or desire, and treat the patient equally" as supreme, and "Huayi is foolish and wise, and the universal is the same".

He practiced what he preached, went to the rescue wholeheartedly, did not seek fame and fortune, and spent his whole life to realize his Taoist medical ethics thought, and was the founder of Chinese medical ethics thought. In Sun Simiao's famous book "A Thousand Golden Prescriptions", he also put the medical ethics norm of "great medical sincerity" in an extremely important position, and set up a special topic and focused on discussion. And he himself is also one of the representatives of cultivating nature with virtue, cultivating body with virtue, and cultivating virtue and art.

Sun Simiao has noble medical ethics, and everything is based on treating diseases and saving people. He cared about the suffering of the people, thought about the patients everywhere, and treated those who came to seek medical treatment, regardless of whether they were high or low, rich or poor, old and young, close and distant, and treated each other equally. He went out to heal the sick, day and night, without avoiding cold and heat, regardless of hunger, thirst and fatigue, and went all out.

During clinical practice, he should concentrate on his mind, be conscientious and responsible, do not engage in haste and do not engage in hasty work, do not consider personal gains and losses, do not dislike dirty and filthy, and concentrate on rescue.

In particular, he advocated that when doctors treat diseases, they should not take the opportunity to ask for money, but should have no desires. His noble medical ethics are indeed a model for future generations, and for more than a thousand years, he has been praised by everyone and respected as the "King of Medicine".

Sun Simiao does not use animals as medicine. He said: "Since ancient times, famous sages have cured diseases, and used their lives to help the critical, although they are said to be cheap animals and nobles, as for the love of life and animals. Harm the other and benefit oneself, and the situation is the same as others, and the husband kills to survive, and goes to live farther. I am here so I don't use life as medicine, and I am good from this. ”

Sun Simiao made so many significant contributions to the medical industry during his lifetime, but when he was dying, he made a will "bury thinly, do not hide the Ming utensils, and sacrifice to the prison". This spirit is very valuable. He was deeply loved and admired by the people.

The people of his hometown built a temple and erected a monument to him, and renamed the "Wutai Mountain" where he had lived in seclusion as "Yaowang Mountain". There are still many historical sites about Sun Simiao on the mountain, such as "Yaowang Temple", "Baizhentai", "Taixuan Cave", "Thousand Golden Treasure Monument", "Medicine Washing Pool" and so on.

When Sun Simiao, the king of medicine, was living in seclusion in Taibai Mountain, he "practiced qi and nourished his spirits and sought the art of living the world". He has a long period of meticulous research on medicine, and always has a benevolent heart, personally collecting medicines, treating people's diseases, and helping people with medicine. As a monk, he pursued the principle of "all actions, practice yin virtue, and contribute to things".

Many well-known people at that time worshipped him as a teacher and were willing to be his students. Lu Zhaolin, one of the famous poets of the "Four Masters of the Early Tang Dynasty", said in his "Preface to the Sick Pear Tree" that Sun Simiao "combines the ancient and modern, learns the art of mathematics", "pushes the steps of A and B, and measures the Qiankun".

When Lu Zhaolin wrote "The Preface to the Sick Pear Tree", Sun Simiao was already in his nineties. But his eyes and ears showed no signs of age, and his body was strong and clear. When Wei Zheng was edicted by the emperor to compile the history of the five dynasties of Qi, Liang, Chen, Zhou, and Sui, he was worried that there would be omissions, so he visited Sun Simiao many times. Sun Simiao taught it orally, as clearly as if he had seen it in person.

At that time, Lu Zhaolin was famous, but unfortunately he was seriously ill, and he lamented that everyone's experience was different, and people's life expectancy was so disparity. So he asked Sun Simiao: "What is the reason for the famous doctor to cure the disease?"

Sun Simiao replied: "I have heard that those who are good at talking about heaven must be determined by the nature of this person, and those who are good at talking about people must be based on the principles of heaven. There are four changes in the sky, the operation of the five elements, and the alternation of cold and heat. When it moves, harmony is rain, anger is wind, condensation is frost and snow, and stretching is rainbow.

This is the law of heaven and earth. People have limbs and five internal organs, and when they wake up and sleep, they breathe and breathe, and the cycle repeats. The flow is the glory of the guard, the appearance is the complexion, and the hair is the voice. This is the law of the human body. Yang uses its essence, yin uses its shape, this is the same place for heaven and man.

When this normal phenomenon is lost, steaming will generate heat, otherwise it will be cold, and it will become warts, and it will become carbuncles, and it will be wheezing and exhausted. The disease is on the surface, but the lesion is in the body. The same can be said of this principle to heaven and earth.

Therefore, the five latitudes are shrinking, the stars are out of measure, the sun and the moon are wrong, and the comets are flying, which is a critical disease of heaven and earth. From time to time, the cold and heat are not steaming. The stone stands on the soil, and the wart of this heaven and earth is also redundant.

Legend has it that once while on the road, Sun Simiao saw a shepherd boy killing a small snake, and the snake was already injured and bleeding. Sun Simiao begged the shepherd boy not to kill it, and took off his clothes to give them to the shepherd boy, redeeming the little snake. Then he wrapped the snake in medicine and put it back in the grass.

More than a month later, Sun Simiao went out for a walk again, and saw a young man in white, whose servants and horses were very strong, and dismounted to meet him, and thanked him and said, "The little brother has saved his life by the Taoist, and Sun Simiao didn't mind after hearing this." The boy worshipped him again and asked him to ride another horse.

The two horses galloped like a fly, and came to a place where the city was located. There are abundant flowers and trees, a beautiful spring scene, a splendid courtyard, and a complex number of characters, just like the residence of a king. It turned out that the little snake saved by Sun Simiao was the son of the Dragon King, and that was the "Jingyang Cave Mansion" where the Dragon Palace was located.

In order to repay Sun Simiao for saving his son, the Dragon King wanted to give him a lot of gold and jewelry when he left, but Sun Simiao resolutely refused. When the dragon king saw that he did not love wealth and wealth, he asked his son to take out thirty prescriptions from the dragon palace and give them to him, and told him: "This is the true prescription, which can help the world and save people."

After Sun Simiao returned home, he tried every prescription and found that it all had miraculous effects. Later, when Sun Simiao wrote the thirty volumes of his own prescription book "Qianjin Fang", he scattered the prescriptions of the Dragon Palace in it.

Monk Xuanzhao cultivated in the White Magpie Valley of Songshan Mountain, and his conduct was strict, and he was promoted as the first among the monks. He vowed to teach the Lotus Sutra a thousand times for the benefit of all sentient beings. After the lecture in the mountains, although the cold and heat are impermanent, and the mountain roads are treacherous, there are always no absentees who come to listen to the scriptures.

At that time, there were three old men, with all white eyebrows and beards, and their appearance was unusual, and they listened to the lecture reverently. After listening to this for many days, Xuan Zhao felt strange. Suddenly, one day, three old men came to see Xuanzhao early in the morning.

They said, "Our three disciples, in fact, are dragons, and we have our own duties, and it is also very hard, and it will be thousands of years in the future." I can hear your subtle words, there is nothing to repay, maybe you have something we need to do, and we are willing to do our part. ”

Xuan Zhao: "Now that yin and yang are out of balance, there is drought and little rain, and there is famine in the country, you can make some rain to save the people of the world." This is the wish of the poor monk. ”

The three old men said: "It was a trivial matter to gather clouds and rain. It's just that the ban on rain is absolutely serious, and the crime of not obeying the orders of heaven to do rain without permission is not small, and there is a fear for life! Let's try to say a way, and it will almost succeed, I wonder if the elders can do it?"

Xuan Zhao said: "Then you tell me about it!"

The three old men said: "Sun Simiao's priest of Shaomu Mountain is highly virtuous, and he will definitely be able to relieve his disciple's calamity, so it will rain immediately." ”

Xuan Zhao: "The poor monk knows that Sun Shishi is in the mountains, but he doesn't know his Taoism, how can he be like this?"

The third old man: "Sun Gong's benevolence and righteousness are immeasurable. The heart of benevolence and righteousness is attached to the prescription of the world for the benefit of all generations. His fame has been registered in the Heavenly Palace, and he is really a master in the world. If he can speak to save him, there is no problem. As long as the elder makes an appointment with him first, and if he agrees, he will do as you say immediately. ”

So they told Xuan Zhao the way to save him.

Xuanzhao went to Sun Simiao's residence, sincerely paid respects, and was particularly cautious in the number of human favors, and sat down for a long time before saying: "Sun Shishi has a virtuous and wise temperament, and takes it as his responsibility to help the common people. I hope you will be gracious and save the people of the world. ”

Sun Simiao replied: "I don't have the ability

If there is anything that can be given to the people, I promise that I will not be stingy. ”

Xuan Zhao: "The poor monk met three dragons yesterday and asked them to rain a little, and they all said that they did not follow the orders of the Emperor of Heaven to rain without authorization, and the crime of killing their heads was not light, and only Sun Chushi had great merit and could save them." I have come to express my wishes, and I ask the priest to consider them. ”

Sun Simiao: "As long as it can be done, I have nothing to regret." ”

Xuan Zhao: "When it rained, the three dragons escaped their culpability and threw themselves into the shade of the pond behind the priest's dwelling. When an alien came to capture them, the priest explained to the visitor, sent him away, and the three dragons would be absolved. ”

Sun Simiao agreed. Xuanzhao returned to the mountain and met three old men on the road, and Xuanzhao told them what Sun Simiao meant. They made an appointment for a day and a night, and it rained as scheduled, drenching and moistening thousands of miles.

The next day, Xuan Zhao came to see Sun Simiao, and between the words, there was a strange-looking person, who came directly to the pool behind him, muttering a mantra, and after a while, the pool froze, and immediately three otters came out of the pool, and the man tied up the three otters with red ropes and wanted to take them away.

Sun Simiao stepped forward and beckoned: "The sin of these three things should be put to death." But I let them do the rain without permission, and I hope to spare them, and ask me to intercede with the Emperor on my behalf, and not punish them. ”

When the man heard these words, he untied the ropes, let them go, and took the ropes with his own hands. After a while, the three old men thanked Sun Simiao, not knowing how to reward him. Sun Simiao said: "I live in the valley, I don't need anything, I don't need to repay. ”

The three old men turned around and visited Xuanzhao again, wanting to serve him. Xuan Zhao replied: "Living in the mountains, one is to eat, the other is to wear, and there is nothing else needed, no reward." Unable to withstand the repeated requests of the three old men, Xuan Zhao said: "The front mountain is blocking the road, and it is very inconvenient to come and go, can you move it away?"

The three old men said, "This is a trivial matter, as long as you don't blame the wind and thunder for being too big, you can do it right away." That night there was thunder and a strong wind, and in the morning the wind and rain stopped. The hill in front of the temple was gone, and suddenly it was bright, and it was flat for several miles, and the three old men came again and thanked them.

There are many portraits of Sun Simiao, the king of medicine, who has a simple image, strong spirits, and a childish face. Sun Simiao almost lost his life because he had a serious illness when he was a child, and after he recovered from his illness, he decided to study medicine. He was diligent and studious, and at a very young age, he was already proficient in ancient medicine.

Later, he devoted himself to the research of pharmacy and had a profound accomplishment. "The Prescription of a Thousand Golds" is his masterpiece. This book covers a wide range of fields, with profound insights into medical theories such as physiology, diagnosis, and medicine, as well as some of the medical techniques of surgery. He has made great contributions to the development of traditional Chinese medicine.

During his lifetime, Sun Simiao was revered as a miracle doctor, and his reputation for treating patients was very high, and there were often miracles of resurrection.

At the end of April every year, everyone rushes to the Yaowang temple fair and goes to burn incense and worship. Those pharmacies and people who run the medicinal herb business worship the king of medicine every year, hoping that the king of medicine will help their pharmaceutical industry to develop

There is a folk legend that there is a god who came down from heaven to relieve the pain of the people, also called Sun Simiao. It is said that Sun Simiao is not only good at saving people, but also saves some birds and beasts, and gets some good prescriptions from birds and beasts to save the sick and heal people.

Also, the tiger thing.

Sun Simiao kept a donkey, and when he usually went to the mountains to collect medicine or went to a distant place to treat the masses of diseases, he would catch up with this donkey to carry medicine bags and medicinal materials for him; when he was sleepy, he rode on a donkey to travel. He loved the donkey so much that he couldn't live without it.

One summer, he and his apprentice drove the donkey to Wutai Mountain, not far from his hometown, to collect medicinal herbs. When he came to the mouth of a valley, he found that there were many medicinal herbs, so he tied the donkey to a tree, and then went into the ravine to collect medicine.

They had not gone for a short time, when suddenly a tiger screamed, ran out of the pine forest, pounced on the donkey, crushed the donkey with its two front paws, opened its bloody mouth, and ate the donkey.

When Sun Simiao and his apprentices rushed to hear the sound, the tiger had already run away without a trace, only to see a blur of flesh and blood on the ground, leaving a large pile of donkey bones. This donkey was eaten by a tiger, how can a large pile of medicinal herbs collected at the moment be transported back?

What will we do in the future to collect medicine and go to the doctor? Sun Simiao was very angry.

Strange to say, the tiger that had eaten the donkey did not walk much and slowly walked back. It stood in front of Sun Simiao, lowered its head, with a pleading look in its eyes, blood flowing from the corners of its mouth, and it was as warm as a cat.

Sun Simiao observed in detail for a while and saw that the tiger had been injured and had come to him for treatment. But he knew that the tiger had eaten his donkey, and Sun Simiao was very angry, so he ignored it, turned around and walked into the distance.

But the tiger followed him, with tears streaming down his eyes, and it seemed that the pain in his throat was unbearable.

Sun Simiao saw that the tiger was remorseful, so he asked his apprentice to see what was wrong in the tiger's mouth. The apprentice walked up to the tiger and released the doctor's bell. Stretching the tiger's mouth open, I looked closely, and it turned out that a bone pick was pierced on the throat wall of the tiger, and blood kept flowing outward. Sun Simiao reached into a hand from the tiger's mouth and quickly took out the bone pick.

After the tiger's injuries were cured, Sun Simiao pointed at the tiger and reprimanded: "You evil beast, you have eaten my donkey and been stabbed in the throat by a bone pick, but you have inflicted your own suffering. I didn't want to heal you, but when I saw that you were in unbearable pain and remorse, I cured you. You go now!"

The tiger walked a short distance, then came back and lay down in front of Sun Simiao, making a posture for Sun Simiao to ride.

Sun Simiao and his apprentice saw the tiger's expression, and after thinking for a while, they understood. The apprentice said to the tiger, "If you are willing to carry medicine for my master instead of a donkey, nod your head three times."

As soon as he finished speaking, the tiger really nodded three times. So, the apprentices put the medicinal herbs they had collected on the tiger's back. The tiger looked at Sun Simiao at this time, but still didn't leave. The apprentice said to it again, "Do you still want to carry the master with you?"

After hearing this, the tiger nodded three more times. Sun Simiao saw that the tiger was willing to carry him, so he rode on the tiger's back. Only then did the tiger stand up and strode forward. Since then, this tiger has often carried medicine bags and medicinal materials to Sun Simiao, and let him ride on his back to various places to treat people. Sometimes they encountered bandits and beasts in the deep mountains and forests, and because the tiger followed, the bandits and beasts did not dare to come and harm them.

Now, there is still a place called "Tiger Ping" on Yaowang Mountain in Yaozhou. Legend has it that this is where Sun Simiao saved the tiger. Later, when people made a statue of Sun Simiao, they always had to make a tiger lying next to Sun Simiao, which is the reason.

Sun Simiao has studied medicine with his teacher in the mountains for many years, and has won the praise of his master and the true inheritance of his master. When he said goodbye to his master and went down the mountain, he warned him: "There is a certain number of things in the world, good and bad, don't let the temporary difficulties kill the desire to help the world and save people, if you don't change your original intention, you will achieve great success." ”

After descending the mountain, Sun Simiao carefully followed the master's teachings and devoted himself to healing people. Wherever he went, not only could he not cure the disease, but as soon as he made a move, the sick died! He was blamed and abused, and later, the people simply disliked him and drove him away as if he were running away from the plague.

One day, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and went up the mountain to confide in his master. Master said, "I know what you have suffered, this is a process, and when your straw sandals grow to eight and a half pounds, it will be time to run." ”

Going down the mountain again, Sun Simiao experienced the same encounter again. Although things did not go well, he was not discouraged or discouraged.

One day, he walked through a waterlogged pond, and his straw sandals were almost torn. Finally getting out of the pond, he leaned against a big tree, tied the tattered straw sandals with flexible grass, and then continued to put them on. These straw sandals have become fat and heavy because of the constant repair and weaving.

Suddenly, a funeral procession passed by with the sound of crying, and the coffin that was carried was dripping with blood. Sun Simiao approached to carefully observe the bloodstains, and immediately chased after him and shouted: "Stop! Stop! People are still saved, people are still saved, people are still saved......

The coffin bearer ignored him, thinking that it was unlucky to put down the coffin on the way out of the funeral. Sun Simiao had no choice but to follow along, and said: "There is a woman inside, who died of dystocia." Not only was the child not born, but the mother also bled incessantly. Hurry up and put down the coffin! The mother can still be saved! Otherwise, it will be too late!"

When the person carrying the coffin heard this, how would he know?

So he put down the coffin and opened it for him to heal. I saw Sun Simiao take out a silver needle, find the acupuncture point and pierce it, and then twist the needle with his hand to increase the strength. After a while, the "dead" mother opened her eyes and woke up with an "ah" sound, and immediately heard the cry of a baby, and the fetus in her womb was born! Both the mother and the child were saved!

So Sun Simiao was invited home by the mother's family, and the whole family thanked and worshipped, not knowing how to treat him to repay the life-saving grace. The next day, Sun Simiao insisted on leaving, and the whole family couldn't keep it, so they sent some silver money as a thank you gift, but Sun Simiao refused to accept it, and only accepted a new pair of straw sandals. His family wanted to throw away the old straw sandals, but Sun Simiao was reluctant, so he looked for a scale and measured them, and the straw sandals were exactly eight and a half catties.

The story of a silver needle saving two lives soon spread. Since then, Sun Simiao's medical treatment has really been eliminated, and the miracle of "straw sandals miracle doctor" has become more and more widespread.

As a doctor, he can not only be praised by the supreme emperor, but also respected and commemorated by future generations.

Tang Taizong praised it and said: Dig the path and open the road, the famous doctor: the three saints of the wings, and the four times of harmony. Descend the dragon and subdue the tiger, save the decrepit and save the danger; majestic and dignified, the teacher of a hundred generations. Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty named Sun Simiao as "Miaoying Zhenren". Later generations of folk honored Sun Simiao as the "King of Medicine".

During the reign of Tang Zhenguan, Taizong Li Shimin's eldest grandson, Empress Empress, was pregnant for more than ten months but could not give birth, but was seriously ill and bedridden. Although he has been treated by many doctors, his condition has not improved. Taizong was worried about this every day, and he was restless.

He was recommended by the minister Xu Maogong and summoned Sun Simiao into the palace. However, in ancient China, there was a ritual of "men and women are not kissed", and the imperial doctor could not get close to the women in the palace when he saw a doctor, and could only diagnose and treat according to the oral instructions of others.

Because Sun Simiao is a folk doctor and wears coarse cloth clothes, of course, he can't get close to the queen's "phoenix body". Therefore, on the one hand, he called the palace lady beside the queen to inquire about the condition, and on the other hand, he asked the imperial doctor to carefully review the medical records and prescriptions. Based on these circumstances, he analyzed and studied them, and basically grasped the queen's condition.

Then he took out a red thread and asked Cai Nu to tie the thread on the queen's right wrist, and pull one end out of the bamboo curtain. In a moment, Sun Simiao finished the queen's pulse. It turned out that Sun Simiao had exerted his magical powers, and he could easily diagnose the beating of the human pulse by relying only on the transmission of a thin wire.

In the early years of Zhenguan, Tang Taizong was trapped on a mountain by the enemy in a battle to resist the invasion of foreign invaders. When he was drinking in the waterhole on the mountain, he was dizzy because of his physical fatigue, and the reflection of the dragon jade ornament on his head reflected in the water saw it as a small snake, and after that, he always suspected that he had swallowed the little snake when he was drinking.

After the class teacher returned to the court, the more he thought about it, the more nauseous he felt, and then vomited, which turned out to be an illness. Several doses of medicine in the palace have not worked. Wei Zheng had to invite Sun Simiao to treat him. Sun Simiao saw that Tang Taizong's face was not sick, and there was no foreign body in his abdomen.

After asking about the cause, he thought hard: if the snake swallowed the stomach, the symptoms should be more serious, but now it is just a hallucination, and it is really a mental illness.

So Sun Simiao first prescribed a calming medicine to Tang Taizong, and then brought the hat that Tang Taizong wore when he went on the expedition, asked people to bring a basin of water, and then asked Tang Taizong to come to watch. Tang Taizong saw the reflection of a dragon pattern in the basin, and suddenly realized, and immediately eliminated the doubts in his heart, and the illness was cured.

Sun Simiao not only cured countless patients, but also left many magical legends of the dragon saving the tiger and the alien Dejia because of his good cultivation and noble medical ethics.

In the middle of the night during a thunderstorm, there was a knock on the wooden door of Sun Simiao's thatched hut under a high mountain cliff. When he opened the door, he saw a white-clothed showman standing at the door, and the sky was thundering and lightning, and the rain was pouring down, and it was strange that the white-clothed showman's clothes were not dripping!

Sun Simiao asked him, "Do you want to see a disease?"

The white-clothed Xiushi hurriedly nodded yes. Sun Simiao let him into the room and sat down to cut his pulse, and then said, "You are not human, right?" The white-clothed Xiushi was stunned for a moment, and then calmed down and replied: "How can you see it?"

Sun Simiao smiled slightly: "If you come, there will be lightning and thunder, storm and rain to help, and quiet will be wind, thunder and lightning holographic." Your clothes don't get wet in the rainstorm, and your veins all show peculiar properties. If my guess is correct, you must be the Jujube Divine Dragon of the Water Mansion, right?"

The white-clothed Xiushi nodded again and again after hearing this, and said, "No wonder the real person's name knows everything in heaven and earth." It's really famous, but it's not worth it!"

After speaking, he introduced his illness: "A few days ago, I was so hungry that I didn't want to eat or drink, and I didn't know what blocked my esophagus. So for several days, he could only drink some thin soup to maintain his life. ”

After hearing this, Sun Simiao asked the boy to carry a bucket of decoction and put it in front of the white-clothed Xiushi, urging him to drink it as soon as possible, and not to rest in the middle, otherwise the disease would be difficult to treat. When the white-clothed showman heard this, he hurriedly picked up the bucket and poured the bucket of decoction into his stomach in one breath.

There was a churn in the stomach, and the throat felt unbearable, so he immediately lowered his head, and with a "wow" sound, he vomited on the bucket. When the white-clothed man was shocked to see that there was a long snake mixed in among the dirt that he vomited, he praised it from the bottom of his heart: "The real elixir is indeed a hand to cure the disease!"

Sun Simiao said "haha" and said: "What a panacea, it's just a bucket of vinegar mixed with garlic, sour and spicy, the snake naturally can't stay." He paused, and then said, "Although your illness is eradicated and your vitality has not recovered, I will prick you with another needle, and you can get rid of it once and for all." ”

The old dragon listened and even said yes.

Sun Simiao immediately walked behind the white-clothed Xiushi, took out a golden needle more than a foot long, aimed at the position behind his heart, and stabbed it violently. The white-clothed Xiushi roared, and immediately turned into a prototype jujube, a silver-light scale-scale bucket-thick dragon.

The paralyzed was hunched on the ground and couldn't move. The pair of big silver lamp-like eyes looked at Sun Simiao fixedly. Sun Simiao said: "When I pull out the golden needle, you will soar towards the stone wall in the house." If you can pass through the rock wall of this mountain and rise into the clouds, your vitality will truly recover. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pulled out the golden needle from the dragon's body, and shouted, "Quickly pass through the stone rock!" The white dragon twisted and rushed towards the stone rock. Soon disappeared into the stone wall.

But since then, a huge hole has been left in the stone wall.

After a while, the voice of the white-clothed Xiushi came from the air: "The real Degas is an outlier, an example of the gods." I will return to the house immediately, prevent floods and droughts, and benefit mankind forever!" Sun Simiao opened the door, only to see a lightning bolt in the sky, and the white dragon's body shook in the clouds and disappeared into the vast sky.

Sun Simiao is known as Sun Zhenren, and naturally has a lot of followers in Datang.
