In the Tang Dynasty, Yizong and Zheng yunsou did not agree with each other in their Fu, but they bravely entered the Tao, which was a matter for Tiantai Taoists to take part in Yijie. It is often said that the science and education of Taoism and Legalism has been lost for a long time since it was compiled by the Heavenly Master of Han Dynasty and Lu Xiujing. Therefore, the true and the false are examined, and the whole story is listed, so the world feather tune is always given by it. Zheng Jian recommended his works to the court. He was summoned by Emperor Xizong, and was given purple clothes as bamboo slips to fill the articles of Linde hall. He should be the leader of Taoism. At that time, it was said that there was only one person in the sea. At the beginning of Zhonghe period, when you traveled to Xixian county from jiaxingyuan Road, you met the warlock Chen Qizi. His name was Xiufu, but his name was different. He put on a hazelnut cave and drank wine together. He said, "take this for wuzanger.". Knowing that the national calamity had not yet been settled, he traveled to Chengdu and liked the weather of Baiyun River in Qingcheng Mountain, so he settled in Maoju. Xigai is also the place where the immortal Xue Chang ascended. In a few days, the general returned to the capital and ordered twenty-four people to attend the ceremony. The king of the Hui Dynasty established himself as the overlord of Shu. Jianyu said: in the past Han Dynasty, there were four haos, not as good as Mr. Wuyi. Guangting is not happy in the palace. Xu Ji and Xu Jianfu are recommended to represent themselves because they are old in Chengdu. In the year of Xu Guangpu's Zhixue, the prime minister, he was in charge of the rites of his disciples. Guangting said: Yu Chu studied in Shangxiang, and Guozijian books are available. Read the book of celestial beings first, and then the collection of classics and history. In one month, they will recite scriptures on one day, read the history of Confucius on the second day, learn to do things on the third day, keep diaries and stories on the fourth day, and travel on the fifth day. Every five things, every six days of the month, so not five or seven years, the history of preparation. In the preface of his brother's collection of essays, Mr. Wei AI said: "the prime minister is rich in diction. If you don't delete the poems of Xiao mourning Fu Yan in the collection, you don't dare to hear the fate.". Jianyong Zhang Ge was the son of Xiangjun in Tang Dynasty. His talent and defense were higher than those of the time, so he didn't know the truth. At the beginning of the reign of Shu, every time a minor event was reported, Gai Guangting was not only a good rhetorical device, but also a great talent of the state. There are Taoist feeling court autumn call but not met. One day, the disciple suddenly said: before the completion of Qingcheng's real palace, I had a dream to go to God yesterday and take me as the Chief Secretary of min'e, so I'm afraid I won't be around long. In November of the fourth year of emperor Chuang's reign in the late Tang Dynasty, Guangting was eighty-four years old. Every day, he dressed in a Dharma suit and made a speech to the heaven. He sat down in the hall and became a monk. The color warms the eyes, just like its life. The room is full of strange fragrance, but it will disperse for a long time. There is a white dog in Guangting, whose eyes bark at the clouds in the sun. He orders his feet to be covered with sesame oil and painted with cloth. He says: I can walk thousands of miles every day when I hear the dog covered with sesame oil. Left patrol, barking cloud also shouts a few and dies. Guangting tried to write Hunyuan pictures, jishengfu, guangshengyi, lidiji and Song poetry essays, only more than 100 volumes. All the works are intended for economy. Shutaotao says that there are more than 1000 volumes of articles, all of which are aimed at inaction. For example, there are two verses, one to fifteen, which are beneficial to education. Wang Jianchu, the master of Shu, gave him the title of Mr. Guangde, and he wanted to be better than his famous rank. After inquiring about the story, Mao Wenxi said: in the early Wude period of Tang Dynasty, Qi Ping was appointed as doctor JINZI, and Yin in Kaiyuan was reluctant to live in Jiansheng, so he thought that he was a doctor of Jianyi, granted the title of Duke Cai, and was named Mr. Guangcheng.
