(Author: Liezi) selected from Liezi narrative.

Liezi learned to shoot and he won. Please close the seal for me. Yin Zi said, "Who is the son of Zhi Zi?" Right: "Fu Zhiyi." Guan Yinzi said, "Impossible." Retire to zhi. Three years later, I returned the seal. Yin Zi said, "Why did Zi Zhi Zi win?" Liezi said, "I know." Guan Yinzi said, "Yes, but don't lose it. Not alone, for the country, for the body. Therefore, the sage does not check it, and Charlie. "

Translation:

Liezi learned archery from Guan Yinzi. Once, Liezi hit the bull's-eye. Ask Guan Yinzi and say, "I've learned enough." .

Guan Yinzi said, "Do you know why you can hit the bull's eye?"

Liezi replied: "I don't know."

Guan Yinzi said: "I don't know, but it can't be regarded as learning."

Liezi went back to practice.

After three years, Liezi came to Guan Yinzi for advice.

Guan Yinzi asked again, "Do you know why you can hit the bull's eye?" ?

Liezi said, "I know."

Guan Yinzi said, "You can do it now. Master the law of shooting and be strict with yourself, and you will definitely hit every shot. Not only archery, governing the country and self-cultivation, but also this. So saints don't care about the result, but pay attention to a clear understanding of the whole process. "

Story background:

Liezi and Lieyukou were Zheng people in the Warring States Period. Liezi, Taoist works. According to legend, it was written by Li Yukou and preserved many excellent fables, folk stories and myths and legends in the pre-Qin period.

Liezi's learning originated from Huangdi and Laozi. According to legend, he once asked Guan Yinzi to learn from Hu Qiuzi, and later learned from Lao Shangjia and Zhi Bo Gaozi, and got their true stories. He believes that "if a man's heart is a mirror, he should not welcome it, but should not hide it, so he can get something without hurting it."

Liezi was poor and hungry, but refused the food given by Ziyang, the tyrannical ruler of Zheng State. His disciple Yan Hui asked him, "Are those who know the Tao rich?" Liezi said, "I only despise the Tao and pay attention to the profit!" " "He believes that we should get rid of the fetters of dignity and fame and fortune in the world, conform to the avenue, be indifferent to fame and fortune, and practice meditation.

"Guan Yinzi" was a person in Zhou, Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period. This is just a formal name. Pass refers to the pass that Lao Tzu sent a letter to pass. The man who kept the pass was called Guan Lingyin, and his name was Xi, so he was called Guan Lingyin Xi, and later generations called him Guan Yinzi.

Guan Ling ordered Yin to learn from Lao Yu, and he gained a lot of experience, which became a book. However, this book was lost in the war disaster. It was only after the rise of Taoism that it was called Shi Wen Zhen Jing, just as Zhuangzi was called Nanhuajing. Because Zhuangzi was portrayed as a real person in the south of the Yangtze River, his works should be regarded as Jiangnan classics.

The book Guan Yin Zi, which I saw today, was a fake book written by people in the Tang and Song Dynasties. Fragments of his thoughts are preserved in Lu Chunqiu and Zhuangzi. His main ideas are: "There is nothing but the common" and "there is the common", and "Taiyi" (that is, the Tao mentioned by Laozi) is the foundation of all things.

Take humility as the external code of conduct, be quiet inside and live in harmony with everything; Comply with nature, make the best use of the situation, and be calm in a quiet place; Not being the first is similar to Laozi's "Dare not be the first in the world."

2. The mystery of Laozi's customs clearance 2007-0 1-26 00: 17 is recorded in historical books. Laozi went to Hangu Pass in the West and was ordered to write a book in Yin, leaving a masterpiece of 5,000 words in the history of China thought.

Then he rode on a big green cow and went west, but there was no news. This has aroused the interest of many archaeologists and historians, but so far no conclusive evidence has been drawn.

Some people say that he went to India through quicksand, and I went to India to preach and taught a great disciple like Sakyamuni. Many people in the past dynasties thought that this statement was just made up by Taoism in order to raise itself and belittle other religions.

Some people say that Lao Tzu settled in Lintao, Gansu Province in his later years, and taught retired elders to refine inner alchemy, maintain health and cultivate monasticism. After gaining the Tao, he "soared" on Lintao Transcendental Platform. Others guessed at random that the law and order was poor at that time, and someone might rob halfway and cause accidental death.

There is also a saying that Lao Tzu is not going west, but east. It is recorded in Zhuangzi Heaven that Lao Zi left Zhou Shi and "returned home" after leaving his post.

Laozi's hometown is in today's Luyi County, Henan Province, not far from Qufu where Confucius is located. Confucius also visited the legendary "Confucius asked Li" Lao Zi.

This incident is recorded in Zhuangzi, Everything goes wrong, Lv Chunqiu and The Book of Rites, and Ceng Zi asked, which shows that Lao Tzu's statement of retiring to the east is more reliable. .

3. In ancient Chinese, the word "purple gas" was used to refer to auspicious purple gas (zǐqǐdǐng láI) from the East. Even before the Hangu Pass, Guan Yinxi saw the purple gas coming from the east and knew that saints would pass by.

Sure enough, I came riding a green cow. A metaphor for good luck.

Chu Xiang's Biography of Immortals: "I went west, and I saw purple gas floating away from the customs, but Lao Tzu passed by in a green cow." Use subject-predicate form; As objects and attributes; There is a positive example: Sheng's "Dancing Disc in the Palace of Eternal Life": "~, Yaochi looks west, and the flying bluebird falls in front of the court."

Historical Records Biography of Lao Feilie "So I wrote a book, saying more than 5,000 words about morality, and he didn't know his final destination." Sima Yi quoted the words of China, South Korea and Liu Xiang in the Fairy Tale: "I traveled to the west to make the yin see the purple and float the vulgar, but I rode the green cow." Later, he used "purple gas from the east" to express good luck.

Yin, the official word, is said to be a wise man in the Western Zhou Dynasty. He studied ancient books since childhood, was proficient in calendars, was good at observing astronomy, and studied astrology, so that he could know the past and see the future.

In the twenty-third year of King Zhao of Zhou, seeing that the world was going to be in chaos, he resigned as a doctor and asked him to be the official of Hangu, so that he could not live in seclusion. After he made his fortune, he meditated and practiced Buddhism. After Yin took office, he built a building next to Guanguan, called Louguan, where he observed the astronomical phenomena every day.

One night, staring at the building, Yin suddenly saw the oriental Ziyun densely covered, as long as three Wan Li, like a dragon rolling in from east to west. He was very surprised and said to himself, "The purple gas came from the east to Wan Li, and the sage went west here. The green cattle chased the old man and hid." Knowing that a Great Sage would pass by, he immediately summoned Sun Jing, a soldier guarding the pass, and said, "If the order is given, a Great Sage will pass through the pass within 90 days. You should keep an eye on it. If someone comes from the east with strange descriptions and abnormal clothes, he should ask for permission. Don't let him go. Please report it immediately and don't make a mistake. "

At the same time, people were sent to clean the road for forty miles and burn incense to welcome the saints. Yin bathed herself every day, fasted every day and waited for cleaning.

On the afternoon of July 12, the sun had set in the west and the east was shining. Sun Jing, the jailer, dare not slack off. He was still closing his watch when he suddenly saw a green cow's car among the pedestrians. Its cow is big, but its car is small, and its board is thin and heavy. Sitting in the car is a white-haired old man with a big face, drooping eyebrows, a beard touching his knees, and a plain robe.

Sun ran to Shimonoseki to report. Yin was overjoyed when he heard the news. He greeted the ox cart and bowed down, saying, "Tell Yin to see the sage!" Laozi deliberately tried his sanity and said, "I am a poor old man. I don't know what to teach?" Yin said, "Please stay here for a while, stay in Guanzhong and show me the way to practice."

Lao Tzu said, "I live in Kanto and my field is in Kansai. How can you become a saint by getting some firewood from the ground today? " Yin said, "Yin was revealed by God a long time ago. He swept the road, lit incense and took a bath. I have been waiting here for many days. I sincerely hope that the sages will teach me. " Lao Tzu said with a smile, "The sage you mentioned is Mr. Gu, who is good at practicing and teaching and has the skill of immortality. I want to go to the west for advice, but I still hope that adults will let me go. "

Yin bowed again and said, "Today, I have seen the true face of this saint. I hope that the sage will show me the way to Yin, and Yin will be grateful. " Laozi said, "How do you know that I am a fairy?" Yin Xidao: "Yin likes to observe astronomy and knows a little about change.

At the beginning of this month, when the wind came, I saw the purple gas coming from the east and knew that there were saints going west; Purple gas is mighty, rolling like a dragon, as long as three Wan Li, and knows that the arrival of the supreme is by no means an ordinary god; Purple gas surrounds white clouds, and the sage should have white hair, which is the shape of the old man; Before the purple gas, there is the star of the green ox, and the sage must come in the car of the green ox. "I tried Yin several times, and I saw that he was sincere and true. It was a talent. He smiled and replied, "You know the old man, and the old man knows you. You deserve it. "

Yin was overjoyed and kowtowed and asked, "Dare you ask the Great Sage's name?" Lao Tzu said, "My family name is obscure and I can't die. Now my surname is Li, my first name is Bai Yang, and my first name is Li. " Yin burned incense and kowtowed, worshipped the master and became a disciple of Lao Tzu.

After I stayed in Hanguguan, I saw Yin's kindness and pure temperament, so I integrated the effects of retreat, taking medicine and painting, took its essence as Yin and wrote a book named Tao Te Ching. After the Tao Te Ching was written, Lao Tzu said to Yin, "I gave you the Tao Te Ching, which is divided into two parts. The first part is the Tao Te Ching, which talks about the root of the universe, including the opportunity of the change of heaven and earth, and the secret of the perfection of ghosts and gods; The next chapter is the Classic of Virtue, which is a way of dealing with the world, including the art of advancing and retreating, the way of longevity and the way of learning.

Study hard, practice hard, and finally achieve something! "Say, Lao tze drifted away. After Laozi left, Yin resigned from Guanling's post and spent all his time observing the building and practicing. At first, he was not very clear about it, but he recited the mantra and gradually tasted its wonderful use.

Finally, he realized the true meaning and built a road, which became the supreme reality of Mr. Shi Wen. Yin Sheng came to Laozi's hometown days ago and left his body here, so that his loyal soul would always guard the teacher's door to repay the kindness of 5,000 words.

4. Classical Chinese translation of "The cuckoo cries blood" Shu Wang's first name is Can Cong, and Bai Lian, whose name is Yu Fu. These three generations are all hundreds of years old, all deified, all immortals, and their people are quite following the king. Fish in the mountains and fields, immortals. This temple is dedicated to temples. Shu people were scarce at that time.

Later, a man named Du Yu fell from the sky and stopped Zhu Di. There was a woman, rich and famous, who came out of Jiangyuanjing and was Du Yu's wife. Self-reliance is the King of Shu, nicknamed Wang Di. The people often return to Wenshan Xiayi.

Wang Di is over 100 years old. There is a man in Jingguo, a Master Roshi. His body is dead, and the people in Jingguo can't wait. The turtle's body came to Xi with the river, and then it came back to life and met Wang Di. Looking at the emperor, the turtle spirit is the phase. Yushan is like a flood. Looking to the emperor can't be cured, so that the turtle spirit will surely make Yushan and the people live in peace. Wang Di communicates with his wife after the tortoise tries to control the water. Ashamed, I was not as good as a turtle spirit because of virtue, but I was sent away by the state, such as Yao's Zen and Shun. Turtle spirit acceded to the throne, posthumous title enlightened emperor gave birth to Lu Bao, also known as enlightened.

When looking at the emperor, Zigui sounded, so Shu people mourned for Zigui and thought of looking at the emperor. Wang Di and Du Yu also fell from the sky.

The enlightened emperor went down to the five generations, and there was enlightenment. First he became emperor, then he became king. Heaven sent five Ding Lishi as the king of Shu, and he was able to migrate to Shu Mountain. Ding, who needs to erect a big stone, is three feet long and heavy. One thousand people can't move, and ten thousand people can't move.

According to the land of Bashu, King Shu ruled Fan Xiang and Guangdu and moved to Chengdu. King Hui of Qin sent Zhang Yi and Sima Cuo to decide Shu and build the county as the capital. Chengdu is in Chili Street, and Zhang Ruo is in a small city. First, build the county palace to make it the same as Chang 'an.

When Qin Hui was king, the king of Shu did not surrender to Qin, and Qin had no way out of Shu. The King of Shu traveled from more than 10,000 people to the east to praise the valley, and he died to see King Hui of Qin. The king of Qin left a golden barnyard grass to the king of Shu, who gave it to him and turned it into dust. The king of Qin was furious, and all the courtiers bowed again. He said: "If the soil is native, the land is also good, and Qin should be Shu." .

"Biography of King Hui of Qin" said: King Hui of Qin wanted to attack Shu, carved five pieces, and then made gold. Shu people saw it and thought that cows could shit gold. There are dependents under the cattle, so that longicorn can also make money. The king of Shu thought so, too, that is, he sent thousands of soldiers to let five Ding Lishi drag the cows to the road and send three pieces to Chengdu. Qin Dao makes sense, and the power of stone cattle is also. Later, he sent prime minister Yi Cheung and others to cut Yan Shu with Shi Niu.

Wudu people are knowledgeable, and King Shu adapted his wife and daughter into Shu. After living in Shu, I have not learned the soil and water and want to return. King Shu loved his daughter very much, so he kept her, so he wrote six songs "The Voice of Yi Ming" to dance.

Wudu's husband turned into a woman with a beautiful color and a thin mountain cover. King Shu married him. If you don't learn soil and water, you will be ill, and the king of Shu will leave it. There are very few things, so the deceased army, King Shu, was buried in Guo Zhong, Chengdu. It covers an area of three acres and is seven feet high. It is called wudan, and its tomb is revealed by a stone mirror, with a diameter of ten feet and a height of five feet.

Therefore, the king of Qin knew that Shu Wang was lewd, so he dedicated five beautiful women to Shu Wang. King Shu liked him very much and sent five women to meet him. Back in Zitong, I saw a big snake enter the cave. A ding leads its tail, but it doesn't come out. Five ding attracts snakes, landslides, and five ding breaks. Wuding went to the stage and shouted, and the five women of the king of Qin and the people who saw him off all went up the mountain and turned to stone. King Shu came to the stage, but he couldn't come because he called five girls to wait for the stage. King Shu personally buried it as a tomb, which led to Wanshi as its tomb mark.

King Hui of Qin sent Zhang Yi and Sima Cuo to attack Shu. It is not good for the king to refuse to fight. He retired five sheep and got it.

Zhang Yi attacked Shu. Ming Kai, King of Shu, was invincible and destroyed by instruments.

The king of Qin put Shu Houyun to death, and then greeted and buried Xianyang. It rained and was blocked in March because it was buried in Chengdu.

Shu people pray for rain, and temple Shu Hou will rain.

King Shu has a parrot boat.

Qin and Wei have 10,000 Taibai ships, hoping to attack Chu.

There are 10,000 ships in Qin and Wei, and they want to attack Chu.

When Qin Xiang became king, Dangqu County provided a long man, twenty-five feet and six feet long.

A native of Guangrao County, Wenshan County, Yuben was born in Shi Niu with the place name Li Erxing. Jade mother swallowed pearls and was pregnant with jade, and was born in the county. Tu Shan became famous by getting married and having children. In today's Tushan, there is a Yu Temple, which was also built for its mother.

Laozi wrote the Tao Te Ching for Guanyin Xi. When he left, he said, "Meet me at Qingyang Temple in Chengdu in a thousand days." It is also true that today is the concept of green cattle.

The river is harmful, and Shu Shou Li Bing is a five-stone rhinoceros. Two are in the mansion, one is under the city bridge, and the other is in the water, so as to be disgusted with water essence, because it is called stone rhinoceros.

Soldiers in Qin Wei Shu, said Wenshan Tian Pengque, posthumous title Tian Pengmen. The dead have heard of it, and ghosts have seen it.

There are two stones in front of the county seat, called Pengmen.

During the Xuan Di Festival, dozens of salt wells were drilled for the first time.

It is said that when Laozi rode a green ox through Hangu Pass and left a 5,000-word Tao Te Ching for the prefect in Hangu House, an old man with fair skin over 100 years old waved to the house to look for him. I met the old man in front of the mansion. The old man gave me a little gift and said, "I heard that your husband is knowledgeable and versatile, and I would like to ask you." The old man proudly said, I have always been idle and relaxed. People my age died one after another. They cultivated 100 acre of fertile land, but there was no place. They built the Great Wall of Wan Li without a canopy, and built four houses, but in the end they all became a lonely grave on the outskirts of the wilderness. As for me, although I have been poor all my life, I still eat whole grains. Although I didn't build a brick or tile, I still lived in a house sheltered from the wind and rain. Sir, can I laugh at their busy work all their lives and let myself die early? Hearing this, Lao Tzu smiled and said to the prefect, "Please find a brick and a stone." Lao Tzu put bricks and stones in front of the old man and said, "Xian Weng, if you can only choose one, do you want bricks or stones?" The old man proudly picked up the brick and put it in front of him and said, "Of course I choose the brick." "Lao tze asked the old man with a smile," why? The old man pointed to the stone and said, "This stone is not dull and has no edges and corners. What's the use of taking it "? But bricks are needed. Lao Tzu greeted the onlookers and asked, "Do you want stones or bricks?" Everyone says they want bricks instead of stones. Laozi turned to the old man and asked him, "Is the stone longevity or the brick longevity?" The old man said, "Of course it's a stone." Lao Tzu smiled with relief and said, "Stone has a long life, and people don't choose it. Bricks have a short life, but people choose them. It's just useful and useless. Everything in the world is like this. Life is short, but it is good for people. Everyone chooses it and everyone thinks about it. Not short. Although life is long, people are useless to heaven. Heaven and man abandon it and forget it suddenly, and the length is short. " The old man was suddenly ashamed. This is the story above. The following original source: Liu Xiang's "Fairy Biography" records that Laozi went through the customs: "After the decline of Zhou De, he went to Daqin and crossed Xiguan. He ordered Yin to wait to meet him and know the real person. He is a powerful envoy. Yin Xi of Guanling saw purple gas floating across the pass, but Lao Tzu passed by Qingniu. " (Sima Zhen's "Historical Records" quoted "Biography of Immortals") Laozi's theory of green cattle going through customs has a great influence. In the eyes of future generations, Laozi is an old man with drooping ears and white hair and beard, but full of energy and serene demeanor, living in seclusion next to Qingniu. In the painter's "Lao Zi's Going through the Customs", "Lao Zi's Biography" said: "Lao Zi Xiu De's learning is based on ignorance. After living in Zhou for a long time, he died when he saw Zhou's decline. At the crucial moment, Yin said,' My son will hide, so he will write a book for me.' So Lao Tzu wrote a book from top to bottom, said more than 5 thousand words of morality, and he left. "That's all.
