There was a Taoist named Sima Chengzhen. Ruizong welcomed him to Beijing and returned him. He pointed to Zhongnanshan and said, "there is a good place in this. Why should it be far away?"

commentary

There are many reasons for ancient people to live in seclusion. Some people do not want to go along with officialdom; some people fail in officialdom; and there is another kind of people whose reasons for seclusion are more special. They want to use seclusion to enhance their reputation and value in order to seek official positions. Because the move of seclusion easily attracted the attention of the government and formed an influence among the scholars, the imperial court often appointed those who pretended to live in seclusion to show that they attached great importance to talents. Lu zangyong was for this last purpose. He gained a good reputation by living in seclusion. Later, he was invited by Emperor Zhongzong of Tang Dynasty to be an official in the imperial court. He successively served as Zuo Shiyi, a Bachelor of xiuwenguan, and a minister of the Ministry of industry. At that time, because Lu zangyong had lived in seclusion for many years, he was known as "a hermit accompanying him". Many people followed Lu zangyong's example and lived in seclusion in Zhongnan mountain, especially in the Tang Dynasty. Most of them are poems for a petty official to see the emperor in the capital, so as to seek the way to be an official. Du Fu, Li Bai and others had such experience in their early stage.

Story background

Lu zangyong and Taoist Sima Chengzhen have been friends for many years, but their interests and aspirations are quite different. One day, Sima Chengzhen was ordered by Emperor Ruizong of Tang Dynasty to talk in Chang'an palace. On the occasion of parting, Lu zangyong saw him off as a friend. Sima Chengzhen told him that he wanted to retire from Tiantai Mountain. Lu zangyong suggested that he live in seclusion in Zhongnan mountain and said, "there are many good places in this mountain. Why do you have to go far away?" Sima Chengzhen immediately understood Lu zangyong's meaning and said, "in my opinion, Zhongnanshan is just a convenient way to officialdom." Lu zangyong felt embarrassed and even didn't know what to say.
