He is the author of a volume of Jindan formula and a volume of Xiuzhen Shijie.

brief introduction

There is a legend: one day the county master ordered Ma Xiang to send an important document to Xichuan; Ma naturally worried because of the time constraint and the long journey. Because of the official's life, he reluctantly set out on the road. Unexpectedly, after walking ten miles to the north of the county, he met a Taoist. The Taoist instructed him to go into a stone well (later the well was called "shijingxian"), and in a twinkling of an eye he arrived at his destination. He served the documents and got the reply, and returned to the salt officer. The whole process took only one hour. The Taoist told him that he was the apprentice of Wei Boyang, a famous Taoist in the former dynasty. Since then, Ma Xiang has followed this Taoist to become a Taoist official. He has traveled all over the world and practiced alchemy all his life. He has left his footprints in many famous mountains and rivers, such as Hangzhou, Ruian, Huzhou and Jiaxing. Ma Xiang is a different kind of Taoist. It is said that he is fond of drinking and has a great capacity. There is a very interesting description in the whole Tang poetry, which says that "when you drink, you will get drunk and lie down with your fist.". In ancient times, the measuring instrument was called shidousheng. One stone is ten Dou, and one Dou is ten liter. One liter contains about one liter, and one liter of water is about one kilogram. This is an exaggeration of course, but it also proves that his drinking capacity is really amazing. Although Ma Xiang drank too much, it didn't prevent him from traveling around and practicing Buddhism. Ma Xiangsu likes to travel around famous mountains and rivers, and writes poems everywhere. Today, there are also Liandan terrace of Ma nature and other relics about Ma nature on Xixian mountain in Ruian, Wenzhou. In Tianzhu Mountain of Qianshan County, Anhui Province, there is also a black tiger cave with natural relics of horses, which spreads the legend that horses naturally educate evil tigers. In Hangzhou qinwangshan, he not only left his footprints, but also left his poem "climbing qinwangshan in Hangzhou", in which "the wind and water swallow the distant Qiao, the rain add the haze, and the air is not high in the forest", which has become a classic sentence of ancient poets' scenery, and has been highly appraised in all dynasties. In addition, Ma naturally is proficient in medicine, and he always tries every means to relieve the pain of the common people wherever he goes. His medical skills are superb, and many patients will send money to show their gratitude. But he always tried to give way and didn't get a cent. However, if he is not polite to some old rich people, he will measure his wealth and distribute it to the poor who need relief. All his life, Ma Xiang was good at giving, practicing medicine and helping the poor, and his poems and monographs were handed down from generation to generation. It's a pity that the future is not good.

Comments on historical books

About appearance: Secretary Shi has eight words: "ugly appearance, thin nose, bald temples, big mouth". That is to say, the appearance is very ugly. Fubi: it's what we call rosacea; bald sideburns: the two sideburns have lost their hair long ago. Unlike monks, ancient Taoists had to shave their hair when they entered the precepts. Instead, they let it be natural. They don't shave their hair all their lives. When their hair grows, they put a bun on the top of their head and let their beards float. That's the so-called fairyland Daogu. Bald temples are not like Tao, monks are not like monks, it is a very ugly appearance. Big mouth: the mouth is very big, and the corners of the mouth almost reach the ears. about Xingzhi: it is recorded in the whole Tang Dynasty poetry that "when you drink, you will get drunk and lie down with your fist." On medical skills: Cai juhou of the Northern Song Dynasty described in the records of Ma nature in his "history of poetry" that "the Taoist Ma nature has different skills. When he drinks to a stone, he will not get drunk. When he is sick, he will crush miscellaneous plants and eat with people, which will make him sick." Taiping Guangji: Ma Xiang's character is natural, and so are the salt officials in Hangzhou. He was a petty official in the county, but he was good at history, literature and Taoism. After traveling all over the world, he returned to the south of the Yangtze River. He was drunk in Huzhou and fell into the stream of PEI. He came out of the river in Japan without getting wet. He sat on the water and said, "it's suitable for Xiang Yu to drink. If you want to get drunk, you can come back." There are lots of tourists on the riverside. Wine is still strong, like wind. Many passers-by look at it. Again, he used his fists to enter his nose, and when he used them, his nose remained the same. Also refers to the stream to make the counter current to eat a hectare, refers to the willow to come and go with the stream, refers to the bridge to break and continue. After traveling to Changzhou, he met Ma Zhi, the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty, who was demoted as an official and moved to Changzhou as a governor. When I heard of the name of Hunan, I was invited to meet him. The ceremony was very different. Zhi asked, "fortunately, I have the same surname as Taoist brother. If I want to be a brother, can I master Taoism?" Xiang said, "what do you want from Xianggong?" Zhi said, "support the wind." Xiang said: "Xiang Gong supports the wind, Ma Xiang supports the wind and Ma Niu. However, they know each other well, and they do not share the same surname. " It is also different from Zhifeng, Ma and Niu. It's a good place to plant and stay. Or diet times, see small surgery. But on the table, with porcelain soil melon, in a moment lead vine, flowers and fruit. Eating many guests is called Xiangmei, which is different from changgua. He felt for money all over his body and socks. He didn't know how much money he had given. He threw it all in bronze. He threw it into the well and called one of them to fly out. People have to collect, and then they lose. There are many rats in this city. Xiangshu a Fu, it is pasted in the south wall, to the shell hit plate howling. Rats come in droves and fall down when they go. There is a big one near the front of the stage. Xiang said: "you caterpillar tiny things, days and grains of food, how can you go through the wall cave house, day and night to disturb the prime minister; and with compassion as the heart, can't kill, you should lead from here." Rats are back, and all the rats are in front of each other. So he went out of the gate of the city without knowing the number. Since then, there have been more rats in the city. Later, he traveled to Yuezhou in the South and went to the cave rock Buddhist temple. Three hundred monks lived in sanfangzhai, while Xiang went with Taoist Wang Zhiwei and disciple Wang yansuo of mumayan in Yongkang County, Wuzhou. When the monk saw that the single overseas Chinese in Hunan were eating in a dustpan, there was no one to bow to. But with food, Hunan does not eat. To promote the knowledge of the micro, the old people go away in a hurry. Before the monk's house is finished, he goes out. And speed it up. When you go to Nandian, Zhuji County, you can go about 70 Li to the Buddhist temple. Late at night, I heard the sound of the Taoist. There are three people here. I'm very happy outside. I'd like to see you, master. And into, is two monks, but worship lamented: "Zen monks who do not know the Tao, yesterday failed to welcome, to Yi condemnation, three hundred monks to this day can not get out of bed.". Some two monks don't sit in charge, so they have to come. I'm going to give it up. " Xiang only sleeps, not right. Know the micro, but smile. The more mournful the monk was. Xiangnai said, "after that, I didn't mean to be contemptuous. Go back to the entrance, and the monk will be able to get out of bed. " The monk's return is as he said. The next day, Hunan went south again. Shi Fangchun, see a good songcai, ask for it can't get. I still hear bad words. Ask yansou to take paper and pen. Zhiwei then said: "if you ask for food and see obstacles, there is no reason for litigation; if the situation is in daomen, you should apply it." Xiang said with a smile, "I'm not a litigant. I'll make a little drama." So yansou gave paper and pen. Hunan painting a egret, with water, fly into the vegetable border pecking vegetables. His master got up and flew down again and again. Xiang also painted a mangzi to catch egrets and practice its dishes. It's broken for a while. His main idea was that the Taoist priest laughed and asked for food. Then he came to mourn and beg. Xiang said: "it's not for food, so it's for ear." So the heron and the dog flew away and threw themselves into Xiang's arms. As the dish is the same as before, no damage is found. He also went south to Huotong mountain, entered Changxi County, and stayed in a hostel at night. Give up less and travel more. The host joked that "if there is no shelter, the Taoist can sleep on the wall, that is, compatibility." It's too late to know what's going on. Xiang said: "Er Dan sleeps in the popular travel, while Xiang jumps on the beam." Sleep on a beam. When the master gets up at night, the candle lights. Amazing. Xiang said: "the beam is still able to, why is it difficult on the wall?" Russia and into the wall, not out for a long time. Thank you, master. Moving Zhiwei and yansou into their homes, they settled down in a clean place. And Dan, master stay. Where is the missing. Knowing the micro and prolonging the old people's life, they have been on the way to seek. From Huo Tong back to Yongkang County East Tianbao temple. In view of the great withered pine, Xiang Zhi said: "this pine has been more than 3000 years, that is, turned into a stone." Since then, pinecones have turned into stones. Suddenly there was a gale and thunder, and the rocks fell to the side of the mountain. Huiyang was born in Guangzhou. He was appointed to Wuzhou during the festival. His hair was still strange. He moved two sections to junzhai and two sections to jiusongyuan of Longxing Temple. Each of them is 67 feet high and more than three feet in diameter. The stone pines are full of scales, which still exist today. Or someone has a complaint. There is no medicine in Hunan, but the pain is hit by bamboo stick. For all kinds of diseases in the abdomen and the body, the bamboo stick is used to point at them, and the head of the stick blows like thunder. If you have a bent waist and feet and a staff comes, you can also use a bamboo staff to fight with it. If you put the staff, you can stretch it. Sometimes, those who made money and silk with Hunan Province refused to accept it, while those who were fixed with it were scattered and poor. The parade place, or the palace cave, many poems. When he ascended qinwangshan in Hangzhou, he wrote a poem: "where to find Taiyi's first division, and how to change people's minds by leaving a calendar in the air. Nine days, the sun and the moon, the morning and the evening, thousands of miles of mountains and rivers for the past and the present. Wind water swallow far Qiao, rain add haze, gas not high forest. The emperor of Qin made a plan to drive the mountains, and the vast sea turned deeper. " Return to hometown, brother. When brother Shi goes out, his sister-in-law and nephew like to return. Xianggao said, "my brother and I share this house. I love dongyuan'er only when I come back here. " My sister-in-law said, "my uncle has been away from home for a long time. When you come back, you still haven't seen each other. How can you tell the place. I can't bear it. " Stay for three days, sister-in-law and nephew surprised not to eat, but just drinking. When my brother doesn't come back, I will die at night. Tomorrow, my brother will come back and ask why. His wife, Ju Yishi, was deeply saddened by his elder brother. She said, "my younger brother has been learning Taoism for many years. I have to divide the house, but I have to trust him. I have to look at him with my mind." It's a coffin. The night coffin roared, and the family was surprised. It was in the garden. It's been ten years since then. Next year, Taoists in Zitong County, Dongchuan Prefecture will rise day by day. Hunan said to people in Dongchuan, "I am also a salt official." It is only a branch of bamboo to visit Hangzhou, the western Zhejiang Province, and the coffin.
