Historical description

Host: Wang Chongyang

Wang Chongyang (1112-1170), named Zhe, was named Chongyang. When he was young, he was addicted to martial arts. After Lu Dongbin preached Taoism, he abandoned his wife and children, learned Taoism and became an immortal. He founded Quanzhen religion and was honored as emperor Chongyang.

He was born in Dawei village of Xianyang, Shaanxi Province, and moved to Liujiang village of Zhongnan county. He was good at reading when he was young. Later he entered the government school. He became a scholar in middle school and was a student of Jingzhao. In 1138, the first year of Jin Tianjun, he changed his name to Shixiong. In 1957, he deeply felt that "heaven sent civil and military forces to advance, and there was no success in both of them." he resigned angrily and entered the Taoism with indignation, and lived in the mountains and forests in seclusion. In the fourth year of Jin Zhenglong's reign (1159), he abandoned his family and traveled abroad. He claimed that he met a stranger in Ganhe town and taught him how to practice the truth inside and become a monk. In the first year of Jin Dading (1161), he dug a cave tomb in Nansha village and named it "Tomb of the living dead", also known as "Xingpeng". He regarded himself as one of them and devoted himself to the cultivation for two years. Three years later, he moved to Liujiang village. In the seventh year, he begged for food alone, left Tongguan in the East, went to Shandong to preach, and established Quanzhen Taoism.

He is good at teaching at random, especially at persuading scholars with poems and songs, and astonishing the world with magic and strangeness. He preached teaching methods in Ninghai, Shandong and other places. At the same time, he took Ma Yu, sun Buer, Tan chuduan, Liu chuxuan, Qiu Chuji, Hao Datong and Wang Chuyi as his disciples, and then established the Quanzhen order. He received seven disciples and later called them the seven true men of Quanzhen sect. Ten years later, he returned to Guanzhong with his disciples Ma Yu, Tan chuduan, Liu chuxuan and Qiu Chuji, and died on the way to Kaifeng. He was buried in the old nunnery of Liujiang village in Zhongnan (now Zuan Town, Huxian County, Shaanxi Province). Wang Chongyang advocated the equality and unity of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and put forward the fusion theory of "three religions have always been one ancestor". In Quanzhen Taoism, Tao Te Ching, filial piety and Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra are the required classics. They believe that cultivating the mind means cultivating the mind. Besides emotion and desire, keeping calm and calm mind is the real shortcut to practice. Therefore, Quanzhen Taoism does not advocate talismans, nor does it practice alchemy.

During the three years after his death, Quanzhen Taoism spread to Guanzhong, Henan, Hebei and Shandong, and spread to all walks of life. It laid a foundation for the prosperity and development of Quanzhen Taoism in organization and theory. The nunnery was named lingxu Temple by Emperor Zhangzong of Jin Dynasty. Emperor Taizong of Yuan Dynasty was granted the title of Chongyang Longevity Palace (Chongyang Palace). Quanzhen Taoism was honored as ancestral nunnery or ancestral court.

Taoism is divided into North and South schools. The south school is the old school, which is called Zhengyi school. The north school is Quanzhen school founded by Wang Chongyang. Wang Chongyang was a monk for 11 years. He preached mainly in Ninghai, Shandong Province. He received seven entry-level disciples and was granted the title of "Quanzhen Qizi". They are Qiu Chuji, danyangzi, Ma Yu, sun Buer, Tan chuduan, Liu chuxuan, Wang Chuyi and Hao Datong. At that time, the Quanzhen school headed by Qiu Chuji was greatly favored in the Yuan Dynasty, which made Taoism highly respected. Taoism was once regarded as the national religion. Therefore, during the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, the new Taoism Quanzhen religion was highly respected, and the Taoist temples spread all over the country.

Introduction to scenic spots

The tomb of the living dead is located in Chengdao palace, 4 or 5 miles away from Chongyang palace. Now there are tombs, in front of which are carved with the words "Tomb of the living dead". According to local experts, a tomb passage was opened before, and it was found that there was a basement inside. They used a long bamboo pole to test it, but they didn't touch it to the end. They didn't know the exact depth. For the sake of protection, they didn't continue to dig. They covered it with a green stone slab that was originally covered on the top of the passage and sealed it up as it was.

Readers who have read Jin Yong's novels will still remember the characters and places in the novels, such as Quanzhen religion, Wang Chongyang, Quanzhen seven sons, Chongyang palace, Tomb of the living dead. Most readers may think that this is Mr. Jin Yong's magical imagination. However, at the "seminar on Chongyang culture and tourism development" recently held in Huxian County, Shaanxi Province, many experts and scholars have made on-the-spot investigation and rigorous argumentation Tell the world what the real tombs of Wang Chongyang, Qiu Chuji, Quanzhen sect and the living dead look like in history.

Located in Zuan Town, Huxian County, Chongyang palace is the place where Wang Chongyang, the founder of Quanzhen sect of Taoism, practiced Taoism and lost his life in his early years. According to experts, in the Yuan Dynasty, Chongyang Palace once flourished, with more than 5000 halls and nearly 10000 Taoists. The scale of the palace was the largest of the Taoist temples at that time. So it should be right for Mr. Jin Yong to say that Chongyang palace is at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain in his novel. At present, the total area of Chongyang palace is only 53 mu. Although its scale is far less than that of that year, it can be used as a national key cultural relic protection unit, in which a large number of Taoist steles and important historical materials for studying the history of Quanzhen Taoism are preserved.
