Chapter 198: Institute of Chinese Studies
Chen Yingning is not very simple. After the liberation of history, Li Shi served as the president of the Chinese Taoist Association, and opened the Immortal Cultivation Academy during the Republic of China. He was the founder of modern Immortal Science.
His original name was Zhixiang, Yuanshan, and his courtesy name was Zixiu, and his name was Yuandunzi. Later, he changed his name to Yingning. He was from Huaining, Anhui. He studied traditional Chinese medicine at a young age and was a scholar in the late Qing Dynasty. Later, he graduated from the Anhui Higher Political School. He had no intention of career and changed his skills to learn Taoism. He was a lay Buddhist in the Longmen School of Quanzhen. He is currently a professor at the Immortal Academy and editor-in-chief of "Xianxue Monthly" and "Yangshan Monthly". He wrote Youdao and has many medical papers, intending to promote health preservation to improve the national physical fitness. Xia Jun felt a little unreliable when he heard this, but after checking Chen Yingning's information, he changed his original view.
Chen Yingning was born in 980 and was frail and sickly since childhood. He dropped out of school due to illness when he went to the political school, but he lived to be 969, which was 90 years old, and he encountered a certain period of time.
It is precisely because of his weakness and illness that Chen Yingning gave up his studies and visited famous mountains and scenic spots such as Jiuhua, Wudang, and Laoshan to seek teachers and friends, and explore the skills of self-nourishment. Because he had not met a wise man, he was unable to learn it. Later, he simply studied "Daozang" by himself.
"Daozang" is a collection of Taoist classics officially compiled in ancient China. Almost all Li Dai presided over the revision, because in ancient times, there were Taoist officials established, and the content was very extensive.
In addition to Taoism, there is the "Taozang", Buddhism has the "Taozang", Confucianism has the "Confucianism", and mathematics also has the "Shuzang".
Taoism is definitely not a scam. Taoism originated from Huangdi, wrote the "Huangdi Neijing", and was compiled by Li Er (Laozi), and left the "Laozi's Five Thousand Texts" (Tao Te Ching).
Taoism is different from Taoism. Taoism is a school that has appeared since the time of Huangdi, while Taoism is a religion. It was founded by Zhang Daoling in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. The Five Dogs of Rice Sect came from the beginning. Zhang Lu in the Three Kingdoms was a descendant of Zhang Daoling.
Chen Yingning heard that there was an orthodox Taoist sect in Baiyun Temple in Shanghai, so he went to Baiyun Temple to borrow and study in the past year, studying 5,300 volumes of the Ming Dynasty's "Daozang" and 80 volumes. Not long ago, he wrote the manuscript of "The Complete Works of Siku Quanshu's Unknown Taoist Academics".
When Chen Yingning was studying Daozang, China had undergone tremendous changes. Chen Yingning, who was determined to develop immortal science, came to lobby Chairman Xia according to people from all walks of life.
The legacy of Taoist officials in the Qing Dynasty was a problem, and Xia Jun also wanted to hear the opinions of this group, so he met them.
The system of the Qing Dynasty was basically provided by Qi Hongyan in this article, and Taoist officials were also retained. Taoist officials started from the Five Dogs of Rice Cult. The Five Dogs of Rice Cult established a model of unity of politics and religion in Hanzhong at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Later, it was retained in the Li Dynasty. It was a position used to make up for local administration and various customs were also formed in various places.
The most obvious one is the local charitable behavior, which stipulates how many months to build roads, how many charity money and grain to help the poor, etc., are all founded by the Five Dou Rice Sect, which is inseparable from Zhang Daoling's reform. Although Zhang Daoling is considered to be the founder of the Five Dou Rice Sect, a group that combines politics and education was formed before Zhang Daoling took over the Five Dou Rice Sect.
Before Zhang Daoling took over the Five Dogs of Rice Sect, these Taoist people generally practiced art of room-climbing, but later abolished by Zhang Daoling and formed a relatively formal political and educational system. However, art of room-climbing was spread to India against the background of the gradual disappearance of China. Documents from the Tang Dynasty recorded that Buddhist monks in Indian often practiced art of room-climbing, and a group of monks and women often held unobstructed meetings.
The situation of the Five Doks of Rice Sect has also spread these customs throughout the country due to the spread of Taoism.
In ancient times, there were sacrifices to worship the Tudigong during activities such as tomb sweeping, and they would not be taken away. During meals, adults even warned children... they should not insert chopsticks directly on the rice bowl, saying that this was the meaning of treating gods to dinner. If you eat, gods will be angry.
In ancient times, there were very strong Taoist practice. There were Taoist priests in almost all the villages and forests. These Taoist priests usually had to eat. Therefore, these Taoist priests formed an agreement with the people in ancient times, such as inserting chopsticks on a bowl to invite them to dinner, and they could sense it from a very distant place according to their supernatural powers.
Naturally, those rural Taoist priests did not care about the secular world, but there were Taoist officials in the secular world. These groups were not resettled after the establishment of the East China government, but were abolished.
When Xia Jun was communicating with Chen Yingning, Chen Yingning explained his thoughts to Xia Jun. Chen Yingning wanted to contact super talents across the country, fellow practitioners and witnesses, and to make contributions to society.
Moreover, Chen Yingning not only disagrees with rebirth in the West, but also does not allow him to ascend to heaven, does not allow himself to be self-reliant, does not allow him to hate the suffering of this world and seek to escape, does not allow him to admire the joy of the world and thinks about following him, which is different from the purpose of the predecessors who practice immortals in the past. This is also
It is his modern immortal science.
The immortal science studied by Chen Yingning belongs to the ranks of external alchemy techniques, and is also called the immortals.
The immortals evolved from Taoist theory, and Taoism also evolved from Taoism, but the two are very different.
Taoism emphasizes tranquility and inaction, and avoids the world to practice truth, and often degenerates and is willing to fall into depravity. However, immortals believe that people are born imperfect, so they advocate change. This is what is called "following oneself to be ordinary and rebellious" and "immortality".
The immortal family was very prosperous before the late Tang Dynasty, because although external alchemy was difficult before the late Tang Dynasty, there was no more rapid Zilaifeng practice.
In the late Tang Dynasty, the inner alchemy technique was invented. In addition, more and more people were poisoned in the Tang Dynasty because they were unable to refine alchemy, and even some immortals began to doubt the theory of the immortals. In addition, the inner alchemy technique was effective quickly and could be quickly achieved. Therefore, the immortals began to decline, and a large number of immortal cultivators gave up external alchemy techniques and switched to practicing inner alchemy techniques.
The inner alchemy technique is to return to the innate purity through tranquility and inaction, and thus gain the ability to manipulate the power of heaven and earth. Therefore, it cannot involve the secular world. Once it falls into the secular world, people will become impure and those supernatural powers will disappear.
Therefore, the inner alchemy technique has no contribution to society, and will only cause a lot of strange mountain god legends and customs and habits in society that children cannot understand and adults cannot explain. Among them, the inner alchemy technique reached its peak in the Southern Song Dynasty, and the territory of the Southern Song Dynasty was partially south, so the northern villages may not necessarily have these customs.
External alchemy techniques are different. External alchemy techniques are cultivated through alchemy, that is, the "golden alchemy" used to refine external alchemy techniques. According to the "Zhou Yishen Tongqi" written by Wei Boyang of the Eastern Han Dynasty, if the method of refining is obtained, the golden elixir can absorb enough innate energy after being left for twelve years, so that the color turns purple and can be taken.
The golden elixir cannot be taken before it becomes a finished product, because this thing is made of a mixture of metals such as engraving and mercury. It is highly toxic and will definitely die if eaten.
The reason why so many people died in taking pills was mainly because a group of people without any excuses rushed to practice immortality and refine elixirs, but they did not study the basic research clearly. However, they cannot blame them all. There are many terms and implicit words in the book "Zhou Yi Shen Tongqi", which is known as the "Eternal Alchemy King", and people who do not have the understanding at all. In addition, different people have different opinions on it, and then they excitedly wrote "Zhou Yi Shen Tongqi" with various annotations, and led many beginners astrays. You should know that immortal monks in the Tang Dynasty were everywhere, and the trend of writing books was very strong. Almost a little bit of small achievements could be used to write a book, or to create a certain version of the classics that they annotated.
Therefore, this eternal alchemy king is quite a scam, and there are many people who were killed in the Tang Dynasty.
Xu Zhenjun, who is recorded in the literature and history of Lishi, refined a golden elixir in Xishan, Shanxi. After swallowing it himself, he asked the whole family of forty-two people to swallow the golden elixir. All of the forty-two people in the family of forty-two people to ascend to the house. In contrast, the legend of Chang'e flying to the moon can only be said to be a small witch.
Although the founder of modern immortals in front of Xia Jun did not refine golden elixirs, according to the data, after he opened the Immortal Cultivation Academy, he went through hundreds of alchemy experiments during the War of Resistance Against Japan, and through the "Three Yuan Dan" and "Earth Yuan Dan" recorded in the Taoist treasure, it proved that red copper can indeed turn into silver, dead sand and dry mercury, and it is no problem. The immortal text provided by Qi Hongyan's family learning is by no means a deception to the world.
Chen Yingning talked with Xia Jun for most of the day. Xia Jun first had some systematic understanding of ancient external elixirs, internal elixirs, Qimen Dunzao and other things.
At the same time, we have a relatively comprehensive understanding of the factions of Taoism, Buddhism, Confucianism, immortality, art, medicine, and martial arts. These sects express different ways... But their systems all developed from early classics such as "Huangdi Neijing", "Zhouyi", "Laozi Five Thousand Writings", and "Yin Fu Jing".
Among them, Buddhism was introduced from India. Indian Buddhism is different from Chinese local Buddhism. Indian Buddhist monks can get married, etc. and eat meat. It is a completely Hu religion. Later, Buddhism began to be localized, and they developed what they called, Mahayana Buddhism and system, from the theories of He Yan, Wang Bi, and Wang Yan, who talked about mysterious principles during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and even caused the country to be misleading, and they formed what they called, Mahayana Buddhism and system, and Confucianism in the Song Dynasty, in name, but once they talked about the mind and nature, they immediately coincided with Buddhism and fell into the vicious circle of expelling secret assistance.
Among the Tao, Buddhism, Confucianism, immortals, medicine, martial arts, and art, immortals, and artists are relatively sluggish... They belong to the ranks of very niches. Although there are still descendants, there are very few.
The medical and martial arts factions are factions that emphasize secular practicality. The former treats diseases and saves people, while the latter practices martial arts and defends themselves, and is widely circulated.
The three schools of Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism follow the route of internal alchemy, and the three schools copy each other. Among them, Buddhism and Confucianism have been plagiarized from Taoism in many aspects of practice. This kind of plagiarism has a very long historical origin. Since the era of Lao Tzu and Confucius, Confucius' Confucianism began to plagiarize Taoist theories.
After the late Tang Dynasty, the three religions merged, and the trend of copying and copying Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism was even more popular. Wang Chongyang, the master of the Northern School, devoted himself to the use of the three religions together throughout his life. As a result, the doctrines of the three religions were very conflicting. Taoism was quiet and inaction, and degenerated and willing to fall. Buddhism talked about Buddhism and erased reality. Confucianism aimed at maintaining rule, aiming to maintain the status quo and had no intention of progress. Therefore, Wang Chongyang eventually failed. Although the practice methods between the three religions were copied over and over, there was no integration at all.
"In the martial arts world, Sun Lutang is currently the most respected person, nicknamed Tiger Head Shaobao, and is known as the number one master today. He fought all over Shaolin, Wudang, and Emei invincible. He defeated the Russian strongman Peter Lotus in four years..." Chen Yingning talked about the situation in the martial arts world in a lively manner.
Sun Lutang!
A famous modern martial artist and created his own Sun Tai Chi. According to information, the Russian defeated by Sun Lutang was not only a strongman, but also a Russian and European fighting champion.
At the same time, according to the original Li Shi, when Sun Lutang was over 60 years old, he defeated the Japanese Emperor's great samurai Ichio Itagaki. In his seventies, he defeated the joint challenge of the Japanese master of inscriptions in one fell swoop. He was worthy of the tiger-headed Shaobao in the martial arts world and was the best-handed name in the world.
The information behind it was even more shocking. Sun Lutang actually entered the Taoist throne with martial arts.
Finally, he ascended to the form of a monk of Neial.
After listening to Chen Yingning's lobbying and explanation for most of the day, Xia Jun finally led the leader and said: "Tao, Buddhism, Confucianism, Immortals, Medicine, and Martial Arts are all Chinese national arts, but the doctrines are different, so not every one is worthy of promotion. Moreover, there are ambiguities between academics and religions. Immortals can indeed develop research, but we must only engage in academics and not religions.
Except for immortals, Taoists, doctors, martial artists, and artists, they should all develop vigorously, but they must all be separated from the religious category."
Chen Yingning was very excited. After listening to Xia Jun's words, he said to Xia Jun: "If you leave religion and are worthy of development, there are only Taoism, immortals, doctors, martial artists, artists, Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism that are not desirable, and Confucianism can take its essence."
Home and teaching are different. Home refers to academics, while teaching is religious, especially Buddhism. They hide in temples all day long with their supernatural powers to pretend to be gods and make money.
Before Buddhism was localized, it was very similar to Tibetan Lamaism. It was both crazy to accumulate money and land, which formed huge social contradictions. When it was not localized, Buddhism was often officially cleaned in China, burning temples and slaughtering monks...
Buddhism can be so prosperous in Asia because they have practice, can practice supernatural powers and help pilgrims fulfill their wishes, and then pilgrims have to fulfill their wishes. The so-called fulfillment of wishes is to donate money and materials to practice the Golden Buddha for you. If you don’t fulfill your wishes, people will even urge you to dreams.
After the late Tang Dynasty, the three religions merged, and local Buddhism absorbed internal alchemy. Because it wanted to abandon the secular world... the phenomenon of temples making money gradually became more peaceful. After the complete localization, Buddhism also became much more obedient and basically did not cause too much social conflict.
Outside the Middle Earth, demon monks are still rampant. During the Yuan Dynasty, the demon monks found by the Mongols frantically stole the imperial tombs of the Southern Song Dynasty and made the skulls of the Southern Song emperor into drinking vessels. This vessel has been left in the East China Museum.
After Xia Jun understood the complex relationship and development between these schools and religions, and the current situation... his attitude towards this aspect also became clear.
Asia is the world of spiritual civilization... it is the world of material civilization. One is idealism and the other is materialism. But at this time, Xia Jun saw that both were wrong.
The mistake of the former idealism is that it ignores matter. As a result, Asia almost completely defeated in the collision of spirit and matter in the 19th and 20th centuries. Asia is China, India, two major spiritual civilization countries, India suffered the worst defeat. They belong to the ranks of spiritual civilization... But compared to China, it is a bit lower, and matter is not as good as China.
The latter materialism is also incorrect... Materialism only explains what they can explain, while those things that cannot be explained block the news. They cannot explain it, the problem is that the realm is still too low, or it has threatened their ruling system, so the news must be blocked. If the 20th century is the era when material civilization reaches its peak, then the 21st century is the era of spiritual civilization.
Now Xia Jun thinks that both spirit and material things must be grasped, and both hands must be hard, so that matter and spirit can be combined to become one thing.
Xia Jun intends to develop four schools of immortals, doctors, martial artists, and artists. The immortals are based on the "Book of Changes" and Taoism. The characters in this article were developed by Qi Hongyan. They belong to the highest level and the strongest technical content. The decline after the late Tang Dynasty was mainly due to the fact that they could not compete for internal alchemy. However, in terms of contribution to society, external alchemy is higher than internal alchemy, which is worthy of vigorous development.
There is no need to mention these three things, including traditional Chinese medicine, martial arts, and arithmetic. Traditional Chinese medicine itself is not a deceptive thing, and it has systematic theory. In terms of martial arts, Jin Yong's novels are not all written randomly, but many things are indeed written randomly.
Arithmetic is to construct a framework that simulates the movement of the universe based on classics such as the "Book of Changes" to predict things, which cannot be said to be lacking. The profoundness of the "Book of Changes" is completely beyond the understanding of ordinary people. The artists are represented by the "Qimen Dunjia" developed from the "Book of Changes".
According to Chen Yingning's thoughts, Xia Jun agreed to his suggestion and began to revise the "Daozang" with official hosting. This revision was hosted by Chen Yingning.
At the same time, Xia Jun also allocated 20 million yuan to establish the East China National Studies Institute..." It is specifically used to study Taoism, immortals, traditional Chinese medicine, martial arts, and arithmetic.
The research results will be used as state secrets and are only circulated in the country with control. They are not to beware of the public's knowledge, but to block the technology so that foreigners can steal it.
The purpose of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is to understand the ancient terms and implicit words, and to create simple and easy-to-understand things that are clearly conditioned.
For example, the immortals want to alchemy golden elixir. What are the steps? We will study it step by step, accurately data, clearly record the process, and use scientific research to study it.
Although the 20 million yuan is more than 20 million yuan, the Chinese Academy of Sciences will be equipped with high-end experimental equipment, so the money is only invested in advance.
ps: It sounds mysterious? In fact, these classics can be bought everywhere, and they are included in the official version of "Daozang", and even the inferior printed books on street stalls (Xiao Cai bought the "Qimen Dunjia" at the street stall two years ago, but she couldn't understand it and was very sweating).
From a reasonable point of view, when the protagonist reaches that height, he will inevitably come into contact with things in this field, and this kind of thing also exists.
When we now believe in Western materialism, Westerners have begun to transform from material civilization to spiritual civilization. Westerners are conducting a lot of experiments on monks, and even sending Indian yoga masters to space for experiments.
