Hometown of Heavenly Master

Tianshi Zhang Daoling is a well-known and famous figure at home and abroad. Whenever we talk about Taoism, the authentic local religion in our country, we will naturally associate with Zhang Daoling, the ancestor of Taoism. Everyone can tell many stories about him, and there are many records in various historical books, such as Cihai (p1087): "Zhang Daoling (34-156), formerly known as Zhang Ling, peiguo in the Eastern Han Dynasty Feng (now Fengxian County, Jiangsu Province) people Etymology (p0569): "Zhang Daoling, formerly known as Ling, was born in peiguofeng of the Eastern Han Dynasty. He was the founder of Tianshi Taoism. He was once the order of Jiangzhou. When Emperor Shun lived in Shu, he studied Taoism in Heming mountain. He wrote 24 Taoist books, and used the Fu Shui mantra to cure diseases." The Great Dictionary of Chinese names (p963): "Zhang Daoling, a Pei native of the later Han Dynasty, is of good descent. Yongping worship Jiangzhou order, abandoned the official hidden Luoyang north Mang Mountain. Zhang (emperor), and (emperor) tired call not on, zhangce tour dragon and tiger mountain. He practiced Taoism and went to Shu to fool the people with the method of water prohibition. From the scholars out of rice Wudou, when called Wudou rice road, its disciples called Daoling as the teacher of heaven. Later generations called Zhang Tianshi, that is, his descendants. " "Taiping Yulan" said: "Zhang Daoling, the word Fu Han, peiguofeng people also." "Han Tianshi's family biography" says: "the real person taboo Daoling, the word Fu Han, surnamed Zhang, Fengyi people." Longqing's Fengxian annals official career of Ming Dynasty: "Zhang Lu, the word Gongqi, grandfather (Zhang Daoling) came to Shu to learn Taoism, Lu Jizhi, called himself Shijun." "Zhang Daoling, the eighth grandson of Zifang (Zhang Liang)," was written by Guangxu in Qing Dynasty In addition, there are "the general mirror of immortals in the past dynasties", "the world of immortals", "the biography of immortals", "the biography of immortals", "the general mirror of real immortals in the past". Such categories only indicate that Zhang Daoling was born in peiguofeng of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but his hometown and interesting life stories are rarely known, and no one can describe them clearly. Most of them are imitators, such as those born in Tianmu Mountain, Zhejiang Province, Guixi, Jiangxi province or Hanzhong, Sichuan Province. In fact, Zhang Daoling is a native of feilou village, Songlou Town, Fengxian County, Jiangsu Province. The following are the explanations

Looking for the root of Zhang's family

The Zhang family is widely distributed in China with a large population. According to the statistics of researchers from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in 1994, the Zhang family ranks the third among the big family names. According to Zhang Daoling's genealogy of Guteng and Zhang Daoling's biography of Fengxian County in Guangxu of Qing Dynasty, Zhang Daoling's name is Fu Han, and his son is Zhang Liang's eighth grandson It can be seen that the family of Zhang Daoling comes from the surname Ji. According to the biography of Zhang Liang, Zhang Liangyuan was the son of Ji, and his grandfather and father were the prime ministers of Han Zhaohou and xuanhui. After Qin Dynasty exterminated Korea, Zhang Liangshang was not an official when he was young, so he made friends with assassins with his family wealth and tried to revenge Korea. When the first emperor of Qin was on a tour to the East, he hired a strong man to assassinate the first emperor of Qin in bolangsha. However, he failed to hit the second car by mistake, so he fled to xiapi and changed his name to Zhang Liang to avoid disaster. After the peasant uprising at the end of Qin Dynasty, Liu bangping followed Chu to destroy Qin. After the Western Han Dynasty won the throne, the government became more stable, foreign invasion was eliminated, and internal contradictions became more and more intense. Many kings and ministers were killed. The situation of "cunning rabbit died, running dog cooked; birds died, good bow hidden" became more and more obvious. Zhang Liang, who was able to understand the mystery, withdrew from the government, went to a distant place, lived in seclusion by Weishan Lake for self-cultivation, and was buried on Weishan island in Weishan Lake after his death, After that, his descendants lived and worked in Tengzhou and Yanzhou.

In the last years of the Western Han Dynasty, after Wang Mang usurped the throne, peasants all over the country revolted and set up one after another. Fan Chongyu, a native of Langya (today's Shandong Zhucheng), led an uprising in Juxian County in the fifth year of Tianfeng (A.D. 18) of Xinmang. He conquered the city and plundered the land, broke the mang army, and developed into a "red eyebrow army" of more than 100000 people, which once again caused great chaos. In order to escape the war, some clans of the Zhang clan moved to other places. According to Zhang's genealogy in Songlou Town, Zhang Gang, the grandfather of Zhang Daoling, moved to Afang village in the southwest of Fengcheng at this time. After Zhang Gang's death, his tomb was 500 meters to the east of the village. Now it is cultivated for Zhang xinlou, a villager. Although there is no tomb, its base still exists. The ground is much higher than the surrounding. It is moist for many years. Although it is humid in the drought season, it is called "divine land" by the people. The story of "old man Zhang occupying Tianmen cave skillfully" still remains in the local area.

Tianshi was born in China

There are two opinions about where Zhang Daoling was born: one is that he was born in Tianmu Mountain, Zhejiang Province; the other is that he was born in Fengxian County. In the immortal world, Cang Yangqing (not from Fengxian County) wrote: "it is said that Daoling is the ninth grandson (or the eighth grandson) of Zhang Liangzhi, the Marquis of the early Han Dynasty. His father Zhang Yi, whose name is Dashun, once lived in Tianmu Mountain with his wife Lin. One day, Lin had a dream that an immortal came down from the Big Dipper, gave her a bunch of myrtle, and told her, "I used to live in Fangshan, but now I come down to your house according to the order of God.". As a result, Lin got pregnant, and later returned to Pei (state) and gave birth to Zhang Daoling. When Daoling was born, Huang Yun cage room, Ziqi Ying court, light as the sun and moon, vanilla you Fen, a few days do not disperse Although this view is far fetched, it shows that it is back to Daoling, the ancestral home of Fengxian County.

In fact, Zhang Daoling was born in Fengxian and was the eighth grandson of Zhang Liangzhi. Zhang Daoling's family moved from Tengzhou with his grandfather Zhang Gang and his wife and son Zhang Yi to Fengxian County, and settled in Afang Village (now feilou village, Songlou Town, Fengxian County), which is more than 20 miles southwest of Fengxian County

. At that time, it was a very prosperous place. In October of the 12th year of emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty (195 BC), Liu Bang led his army to fight against King yingbu of Huainan and returned to his hometown to visit his relatives. After Peicheng's "singing gale", he went west to Xianyang. When he came out of Fengjing, Fengxian's father invited Liu Bang to stay for a rest again, "open curtain, offer cattle wine and drink for three days." Liu Bang said to his father: "Feng, I grow up, I never forget my ears!" After he left, his father was proud of his work. He built a "city of inviting Emperors" at Xiejia. There was a "Temple of inviting Emperors" in the city. It was a temple fair on the 15th day of the first lunar month and a fair at ordinary times. The business was prosperous and the market was prosperous. It was the political and economic center between Feng and Dang counties at that time. Afang village, close to the Imperial City, is a famous historical village. Originally known as "Panzhong village", it is the cemetery of Wang Pangeng, a sage of the Shang Dynasty. People think it is a treasure land of geomantic omen. Later generations will live in accordance with the tomb and named it "Panzhong village". In the Han Dynasty, people thought that the village was close to the Imperial City, just as the Qin Afang palace was close to the Han capital Xianyang, so it was renamed "Afang village".

After Zhang Gang and his son settled down here, they worked hard for the city and lived in the city of Emperor invited. After more than ten years of painstaking management, their family has been quite rich. Zhang Yi gave birth to a son on the 15th of the first month of the tenth year of Jianwu (34 A.D.) in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The whole family was so happy that they named him Ling, which was named Fu Han, in memory of his ancestor Zhang Liangfu. Zhang Lingshi was a descendant of the first generation of Zhang after Lai Feng. Zhang Gang and his son took good care of him and brought him up. Zhang Ling is intelligent and has excellent understanding. At the age of seven, he can understand Laozi's Tao Te Ching and is deeply impressed by Laozi's philosophy. At the same time, we can see the mysteries of astronomy, geography, scriptures and divination. In April of Jianwu Zhongyuan (A.D. 56), Emperor Guangwu returned to Beijing on a tour to Amnesty the whole world. Zhang Ling was recommended to the Imperial College. During the reign of emperor Yongping of Ming Dynasty, he was appointed as the magistrate of Jiangzhou. During his time in office, he tried his best to serve the government and save the people. However, at this time, the court platform was not strong, and the villain was autocratic. He was trapped by the traitor and was removed from his post and transferred to Beijing. The cruel reality made him deeply realize that living in the officialdom can't save the hard-working people. Only by learning Taoism, curing diseases and saving lives, can he really do something good for the people. So, regardless of his family's dissuasion and the imperial court's requisition, he resolutely found another way out and abandoned his official position to cultivate Taoism.

At first, he traveled between Wu and Yue. He knew that many famous mountains and beautiful waters in the south of the Yangtze River were good places to practice and comprehend. He once followed the real man Wei Boyang (a famous alchemist in the Eastern Han Dynasty, named yunyazi from Shangyu, Zhejiang Province) into Yangxian mountain to practice the way of longevity. This is the origin of Zhang Gong cave in Yixing, Jiangsu Province. Later, he went to Tianmu Mountain in Zhejiang Province to set up a pulpit, which was famous for tens of miles around. After three years of training in Beimang mountain of Luoyang, he has made great progress in efficacy. He has been able to integrate his heart and mind and have insight into five abdomen. In the first year of Yongyuan (A.D. 89), Emperor he Liu Qiyu appointed him as Taifu, but he refused to accept the three conscriptions. He accepted Wang Chang, a native of Jiangzhou, as his apprentice, and practiced jiutianshen pill in Taiping mountain of Tongbai and Yunjin mountain of Guixi. Fan Yang and Zhao Sheng searched for a teacher for thousands of miles and studied in Yunjin mountain. With the help of Wang Chang and Zhao Sheng, he finally refined the nine heaven God pill. Since the alchemy, the shape of dragon and tiger appeared on Yunjin mountain, so people changed Yunjin mountain to "dragon and Tiger Mountain". Now the mountain is located in the southwest of Guixi County, Jiangxi Province, and has become a local scenic spot. There is a mountain village in the south of Shandong Province, named Shangqing Town, which is the residence of Zhang Daoling's descendants.

At this time, Zhang Daoling, who is now in Huajia, has a double look and a strong body. He climbs mountains and waters like walking on the ground, and travels around to save the people. Later, he found three Huang Neijing, Huangdi Jiuding Jing and Taiqing in the stone chamber of Songshan Mountain in Henan Province
