The author of this book has different views, and its content is highly praised by many celebrities.
This book has been valued by Taoist practitioners so far and has become a supreme work. Some people even compare it with Tao Te Ching.
This book is the Yin Fu Jing of the Yellow Emperor.
The Yellow Emperor Yin Fujing is very famous in the history of China. It is difficult to confirm when this book became famous. It became famous after the Tang Dynasty.
Li Zhi, a famous military theorist and Taoist theorist in the Tang Dynasty, once commented on this book. Li Zhi wrote the famous Taibai Silence. As a military town official in the Tang Dynasty, he was also a Taoist priest. His works have played an interactive role in the military and religious fields, and are quite famous in the ruling and opposition circles.
After Li Zhi, people began to pay attention to this book, and many famous artists in Song Dynasty, such as Cheng Yi, Zhu and Zhou Dunyi, spoke highly of it. These people are precisely the masters in the ideological field of the Song Dynasty, so this also makes this book a "star book" in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
After the Song Dynasty, there were more and more annotations in the Yellow Emperor Yin Fujing, which were still valued by historians and Taoists until modern times.
Yin Fujing of Huangdi is a work with Huangdi as the pen name, and its real author has been difficult to verify. There are several speculations about the author of this book in history, one is by ancient sages such as Yi Yin, Jiang Shang, Sean and Zhuge Liang, the other is by strategists such as Guiguzi and Su Qin, the other is by hermits in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the other is by Li Zhi himself.
This book is only a few hundred words, but the truth is quite profound. Therefore, some people compare this book with Tao Te Ching, and think that the interest of this book comes from the connection between heaven and the law of the operation of the universe, which deserves to be supreme.
Li Zhi is a Taoist priest himself, and even has a name on his throne. The books he recommended naturally became Taoist classics. Later Taoists also studied and worshipped the Yellow Emperor Yin Fujing.
Taoism in China was born in the fusion of Taoism, Mohism and Confucianism. It rose in the troubled times at the end of the Han Dynasty and became a "new" religion in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Ge Hong, as the main school, attached importance to health preservation, occupied the mainstream of Taoism and began to merge with Confucianism, becoming a favorite religion of feudal rulers.
From the content point of view, the Yellow Emperor Yin Fujing pays attention to health preservation, and at the same time it is told in military terms. It is reasonable that the completion time should be from the end of the Southern and Northern Dynasties to the Tang Dynasty.
In the Song Dynasty, people such as Cheng, Li and Yang were interested in this book precisely because it was the product of the integration of Taoist cultivation and Confucianism.
