Laozi's mysterious disappearance after going through the customs has caused many discussions in history, but there has been no accurate conclusion. But Lao Tzu's "Tao" has influenced China for thousands of years, so is Lao Tzu too old with Taoist gods? Where did Lao Tzu go after going through customs? There are different opinions in historical records, and no clear answer is given. Sima Qian's "Historical Records" records that Laozi rode a green ox west to Hanguguan, "I don't know the end". "Historical Records" also records: "Gai Laozi is over 60 years old, or over 200 years old, and he lives by practicing Buddhism." Throughout the ages, the research on Laozi's works can be described as overwhelming. However, where did Lao Tzu practice in his later years? Where did Laozi "soar" after he got the Tao? The trace of Lao Tzu's westward journey to Hanguguan is an "eternal mystery"

According to legend, Laozi's mother was pregnant because she ate a plum, and this pregnancy was 8 1 year. I'm afraid it's hard to imagine what it is like to be pregnant in 8 1 year. Nezha is only three years old. After she was born, Lao Tzu pointed to Li Zishu and said that this was his surname. Because of her big ears, she called him Li Er. She was born with white hair and was called Lao Zi.

1. Lao Tzu turns to Hu

The so-called Huahu is to educate barbarians with advanced Chinese civilization. According to Hua Hu Jing, Lao Tzu went to India to preach after he left Shanhaiguan. But later, some people thought that Lao Tzu was not going to India to preach, but to the Buddha for advice. Later, after a long-term dispute, there was no accurate conclusion.

After I left Hanguguan, I went all the way west, and later I returned to Longxi Post. I found a place to live in seclusion, preserve my health and cultivate monks. Leave Hanguguan and continue westward, with footprints all over Gansu. His trip usually starts from Hanguguan (now northeast of Lingbao County, Henan Province), passes through Sanguan (now southwest of Baoji City, Shaanxi Province), enters Gansu, and passes through You Tianshui, Qingshui, Lixian County, Qin 'an, Gangu, Longxi, Weiyuan, Lintao, Lanzhou (Gaolan), Guanghe, Jishishan, Yongjing, Yongdeng, Wuwei and Qinghai Gate. For more than 2,000 years, every year on the 28th day of the third lunar month, I celebrated my "Ascension to Heaven" and held various activities to worship Lao Zi in Lintao.

Step 3 Return to the East

It is recorded in Zhuangzi Heaven that Lao Zi returned to his hometown after leaving the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. His hometown is Lu Yi, Henan. Laozi's statement of returning to the east is also recorded in many historical books. Laozi's descendants lived and worked in Lintao, and many powerful emperors appeared, including Li Yao, Hou Lixin of Longxi, Li Guang, Li Yuan of Tang Gaozong, Li Shimin of Emperor Taizong, and Li Bai, a great poet.

Is Lao Zi an old gentleman?

In fact, this should start from the origin of Taoism. According to the earliest exquisite Taoism, there are two schools, one in Qingzhou area, but it disappeared after being suppressed. The other is that Pentecostalism in Zhang Lu developed into the final Taoism. As the ancestor of Taoism, Laozi's Tao Te Ching is also regarded as a Taoist work, and "Tao" has become the core of Taoism. The prototype of Taishang Laojun is actually Laozi.
