brief introduction

Lu Xian, a famous rock, was named Dongbin. Puzhou Yongle County.

Lu Dongbin was a real person in history, but he was not from the Tang Dynasty, but from the Five Dynasties and the early Song Dynasty. The earliest record of LV Dongbin is generally acknowledged by historians in Taiping Huanyu Ji in the early Song Dynasty

Born on April 14, the 14th year of emperor Dezong of Tang Dynasty (798 A.D.), it is said that there are many strange fragrance in the room. Some white cranes are not found in the accounts. They are intelligent since childhood. They can write at the age of 10 and master martial arts at the age of 15. They are proficient in a hundred classics. When they were young, Mazu said, "this son's bones are extraordinary. He comes from the wind and dust of the market. When he met Lu zeju, when he saw Zhong zekou, he remembered carefully. "

In the first year of Tang Baoli (825 AD), he became a Jinshi and a local official. Later, tired of the chaos of the civil war, he abandoned the world's fame and wealth and went to the Jiufeng Mountain with his wife to practice. He and his wife lived in one cave respectively, so they changed their name to LV Dongbin. "Lv" refers to two of them, two of them are LV; "Dong" refers to the cave where they live; "bin" refers to telling people that they are guests in the cave.

He was known as chunyangzi. Before he abandoned his official position and left, he gave out his family property to the poor and did many good things for the people. According to Chinese folklore, he met the immortal Zhong Liquan and worshipped him as his teacher. After the success of the cultivation of immortals, he went down the mountain and traveled everywhere to relieve the disease for the common people without any reward.

All his life, he was good at giving and helping the poor, which won the respect of the people. After he ascended, the people in his hometown built a building for him“

Lu Gong Temple

”In memory. In Jin Dynasty, because LV Dongbin believed in Taoism, he changed "ancestral temple" into "view".

In the early years of the Yuan Dynasty, Kublai Khan learned that Lu Dongbin's Taoism was very popular among the masses, so he planned to consolidate his rule by making use of religion and Lu Dongbin's reputation. Later, he sent Qiu Chuji, the national teacher, to take charge of Taoism, demolish the "Lu Gong Guan" and build the "Yongle Palace". It took 110 years from the building of the main hall to the painting of the murals of several halls, almost the same as the whole Yuan Dynasty.

Later, Lu Dongbin toured Lushan Mountain and met a real fire dragon to teach TianDun sword. At the age of 64, when you were in Chang'an, you met a feathered man in white and blue in a wine shop. He wrote poems on the wall. Seeing his strange appearance and elegant poetry, LV Dongbin asked his name. The badminton said, "I'm Mr. Yunfang. Living in Heling, Zhongnan mountain, do you want to go with me? "Lu Dongbin didn't agree. This Mr. Yunfang is Zhong Liquan. In the evening, Zhong Liquan and LV Dongbin stay together in the restaurant. Mr. Yunfang cooked for him alone. At this time, LV Dongbin fell asleep. He dreamt that he was the number one scholar, proud of officialdom, full of sons and grandchildren, and full of glory.

Suddenly, he was convicted of a felony, his family property was confiscated, his wife and children were separated, and he was left alone in poverty when he was old. He stood shivering in the wind and snow alone. Just about to sigh, he suddenly woke up from his dream. Zhong Liquan's meal was not yet ripe, so Zhong Liquan wrote a poem: "sorghum is still immature, a dream of Huaxu. "Lv Dongbin said," do you know my dream? "Zhong Liquan said," your dream just now is full of life, honor and disgrace. When you are 50 years old, it's like a flash! What you get is not worth rejoicing, and what you lose is not worth mourning. Life is like a dream. Therefore, Lu Dongbin made up his mind to learn Taoism from Zhong Liquan, and after the test of "ten tests", Zhong Liquan gave him Taoism.

Folk people call him "Fuyou emperor", "Lv Chunyang", "master Chunyang", "Lord benefactor", "Lord immortal" and "Lu Zu", while Taoists call him "Miaodao Tianzun", one of the Eight Immortals in folklore. Lu Dongbin is also one of the "five Wenchang" and often worships with Guan Gong, Zhuyi master, Kuixing and Wenchang emperor. In the Yuan Dynasty, it was granted as "Chunyang acting as a police officer and turning Fuyou emperor", which is the origin of "Fuyou emperor".

After the Five Dynasties, the situation was in chaos and the people suffered from migration. He often appeared in the world to save the poor people. His swordsmanship had a certain influence on the development of the Northern Song Dynasty. Quanzhen Taoism regards it as one of the five northern ancestors, known as "Lu Zu" and "Chunyang patriarch".

"Chen Tuan biography of the history of Song Dynasty" records: "Lv Dongbin has swordsmanship. He is more than a hundred years old and has a childlike appearance. He walks briskly and carves hundreds of miles. He thinks that he is an immortal. All of them come to the brick studio, and people are different." Lu Dongbin has a wide range of interests. He is open-minded and eager to learn. He has a wide range of knowledge, extensive reading, and diligent in writing, leaving a wealth of works. He is not only the founder of Taoism, but also a poet, so he is widely respected by later generations.

With emperor Shaoyang, Emperor Zhengyang, Emperor Daodi and Emperor Fuji, Lu zumiao and Lu Zuge, which are worshipped by LV Dongbin, are among the five ancestors of Taoism. However, there are thousands of Lu Zuxian temple and Lu Zuge everywhere. The oldest Lu Zuxian temple is the Chunyang Hall of Yongle Palace in Ruicheng, Shanxi Province, built in the Yuan Dynasty.

Yongle Palace, formerly known as the grand Chunyang Longevity Palace, is on the east side of Longquan Village, three kilometers north of Ruicheng County, Shanxi Province. According to Taoist books, this is the birthplace of LV Dongbin. After the death of LV Dongbin, the villagers changed his former residence to LV Gongci. At the end of the Jin Dynasty, with the spread of LV Dongbin's fairy tales, more and more believers came into being, and the ancestral hall was expanded into a Taoist temple. In the Yuan Dynasty, Taoism was highly favored by the imperial court, and Lu Dongbin, the founder of Taoism, became a famous Taoist holy land.

April 14 of the lunar calendar is the birthday of Lu Zu.

In the ten thousand religions, the inner way is the only one. In ancient times, it was the root of heaven and earth. Living in the immortal world, setting up the mystery and setting up the universe.

Lu Zu worshipped Yan again, and Yun Fang said, "Zi can recite a unique poem, and give it to the audience."
