Chen Tuan's birth and death year and place of birth are unknown, and there are many statements, which have not been confirmed so far. A Taoist said that Chen Tuan was born in Xian Tong, Tang Yizong for twelve years. If this statement is true, then Chen Tuan died in Song Taizong for two years, which means he lived 1 18 years old. 100 years old, not to mention the ancient times when medical conditions and living conditions were backward, that is, longevity in longevity now. So, dear friends who love to sleep late, if someone complains about your laziness in the future, you can have a good talk with Chen Tuan!
Everyone who has heard of Chen Tuan knows that he is a famous Taoist, but many people don't know that before he became a Taoist, Chen Tuan was actually an intellectual with extraordinary literary talent.
Chen Tuan was very clever when he was young. He read hundreds of books when he was young, but he never forgot. In the Tang Dynasty after the Five Dynasties, Changxing took the imperial examination all the year round, but unfortunately failed. Ambitious and ambitious, Chen Tuan, after several unsuccessful attempts, gradually came up with the idea of "being born". The Five Dynasties war, coupled with the contact with hermits, influenced by it, Chen Tuan finally chose to stay away from the world of mortals.
After more than 20 years, Chen Tuan concentrated on mountains and rivers and traveled around. According to Chen Tuan himself, he met Sun He in Jiushiyan of Wudang Mountain and told him that he could live in seclusion, so he came to Wudang Mountain to live in seclusion. After living in seclusion in Wudang Mountain, I don't eat anything every day, just drink a few glasses of wine to convince myself to avoid the valley.
Around the Zhou Dynasty, Chen Tuan moved to Huashan yuntaiguan and stopped at Jianhua Shaoshi. Chen Tuan had been immersed in sleep before, and after Huashan, "sleeping for health" gradually took shape. "Every sleeping place can't stand more than a hundred days", and he has close contacts with Lv Dongbin, Li Qi and others.
Three years after Zhou Xiande, Chen Tuan was summoned by Chai Rong, Zhou Shizong, and asked about the technique of Huang Bai's soaring. Chen Tuan regards your majesty as the son of heaven and rules the world. How can he ask for a soaring answer? After Zhou Shizong was appointed as an admonition officer, Chen Tuan refused, named him "Mr. Baiyun" and ordered the secretariat of Huazhou to offer it every month.
I don't know if Chen Tuan really has some strange perception, or if he judged it based on the analysis of the current situation. In a word, compared with others, before Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne, Chen Tuan pinned his hope of unifying the world on Zhao Kuangyin. It is said that when he learned the news of Zhao Kuangyin's accession to the throne, he laughed: "This time the world will definitely collapse!"
After the Song Dynasty, Chen Tuan was summoned twice by Song Taizong and Zhao Guangyi. Zhao Guangyi asked Song Qi, the prime minister, for advice on keeping in good health, but Chen Tuan took Song Taizong as the ruler of the world, and he could not refuse to fly during the day. This not only did not anger Song Taizong, but made Song Taizong pay more attention to him. Later, he was awarded the title of "Mr Yi Xi" by a letter. The title of "Sir" comes from the Tao Te Ching, which says "Look at it and turn a blind eye, but listen and turn a blind eye". Soon after, it was sent back to the mountains, and a company was ordered to repair Huashan yuntaiguan.
Chen Tuan was nearly a hundred years old when Song Taizong summoned him. After returning to Huashan, he died in Duangong, Song Taizong for two years, and died in Zhangchaogu under Lotus Peak. In ancient times, he was a long-lived celebrity.
On one occasion, Song Taizong summoned him, and he said, "There are several imperial edicts in Feng Cai, which were blocked by white clouds. What does it mean to laugh at the cool breeze and the bright moon and the table of clouds? " As you can see, Chen Tuan has long seen through the world of mortals, and has been at ease.
