Which city does Luyi County in Henan Province belong to?
No one can deny that Lao Zi was born in Lu Yi. These things are necessary. Laozi is a great philosopher in ancient China, the founder of Taoist school, and is known as the originator of Taoism-moral Buddha. He is the teacher of Confucius, an important member of Who's Who in the World, and also a rural sage in Luyi County. His only book, Classic of the Tao Te Ching, is just over 5,000 words, but it is a great philosophical work that is overwhelming and inspiring today. Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there have been thousands of works on exegesis, comparison, interpretation and annotation, which have been translated into many languages abroad and attracted more and more attention. Not only in China, but also in the East and even the whole world, Lao Zi's works and Lao Zi himself are more and more respected by people. For example, a new English version of Tao Te Ching was recently auctioned by eight major publishing houses in the United States, and was finally bought by Harper Company of the United States for130,000 dollars. The copyright of more than 5,000 words has been sold to more than one million yuan, and one word is more than two hundred yuan, which may be the highest record in the world. According to the statistics of UNESCO, the most published book in the world is the Christian Bible, followed by Laozi's Tao Te Ching. Why is this happening? Because Tao Te Ching is a masterpiece that best represents the development of human thought, it is called a milestone of human thought. Tao Te Ching is not only a philosophical work, but also a profound and incisive exposition on politics, economy, ethics, military science, management, Luo Ji, psychology, health preservation, traditional Chinese medicine, health and other natural sciences, literature and art. Laozi's philosophy is one of the main spiritual pillars of our Chinese nation. Some people say: "The history of China's cultural thought is a history based on Taoist thought, which is constantly enriched and improved." Therefore, it has received great attention and admiration from all countries in the world. Whenever I mention our great national sage Lao Zi, Lu Yiren has a sense of intimacy and honor. From the perspective of religious belief, the vast majority of Lu Yi people are not Taoists, but when they encounter natural and man-made disasters, the soldiers and bandits are always praying for "the blessing of the old man". From floods and droughts to wars, to personal gains and losses, they all pinned their hopes on our great rural sage, so naturally they should show their respect for Lao Tzu. Why do people fight for us? Because Lao Tzu is a famous Taoist philosopher in Gao De. In short, he is too good to fight for. Why not fight for the bad guys? For example, Qin Gui and Wang Jingwei, why didn't anyone argue? From this point of view, it is not a bad thing for people to argue with each other, and you can't just swear when you hear someone arguing. Do people want to get involved? Besides, it is not only now that we are fighting for Lao Zi and Chen Tuan. As early as the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Bozhou and Yingzhou in Anhui fought with us. They described Lao Zi Chen Tuan as an Anhui native, which was recorded in Bozhou Annals and Fengyang Fu Annals, but they did not dispute the past. Later, I stopped playing and corrected myself. In the third year of Guangxu reign in Qing Dynasty, the preface to Rebuilding Anhui Tongzhi (volume 260) and Figures in Seclusion said: "Chen Tuan was the real source of Bozhou in this Song Dynasty, and now it was recorded in Luyi County, Guide House, Henan Province, and it was collected in Yingzhou, which was mistakenly the same as Laozi, so it was cut off." They admitted their mistakes and corrected themselves, which is not written in the book, so they won't argue with us from now on. However, this false statement is still circulating. For example, a few years ago, some Bozhou people held the "Chen Tuan Millennium Festival" and built a Chen Tuan Temple in Chen Ying Village, south of Bozhou 19 mile. A friend of Bozhou also wrote an article about Chen Tuan's native Bozhou. We have done some work and written two articles about it. First, "A Preliminary Study of Chen Tuan's Residence" was published in this magazine, and its content was to show our position. Our position is that there is no doubt that Mr Chen Tuan is from Lu Yi. The second is "Re-exploration of Chen Tuan's hometown", which is aimed at Sichuan. There is a professor named Hu Zhaoxi in Sichuan University. More than 10,000 words of textual research articles were published in Sichuan Daily, which proved that Mr. Chen Tuan was a shrine worshipper in Sichuan. Our article "Re-exploration" was published in Zhongzhou in modern times. We said that we would discuss with Professor Hu Zhaoxi by name, hoping that he could read our article and express his opinions. But I haven't seen his opinion until now, and he may not refute it. This is specially for Bozhou. The object of the argument is the gentleman who writes an article in Bozhou. Later, we met at the Fuzhou conference. He is very active and kind, and takes care of us everywhere in food and shelter. Although they are new acquaintances, they have a good relationship and talk about everything. Once we proved that Chen Tuan was from Lu Yi, not Bozhou. I said that we have differences on this issue, and the gentleman in Bozhou said, "We have no differences. My article was written on orders, so it is not enough. " He didn't refute me when I finished writing, so "Three Explorations" hasn't been written yet. As for Lao Tzu, it is still in progress, but it is drawing to a close. Who will argue with us, Lao Tzu? In Guoyang County, to be exact, some people in Guoyang County were publicly exposed by Mr. Yang Guang.
