According to the legend of Chen Tuan's sleeping, Shantangkao said that he slept for 36 years and took a nap for 18 years.
"Chen Tuan sleeps" is a popular saying among the people. There is a story in The Collection of Continued Sword Xuan: He said that he became a monk in yuntaiguan, Huashan, and always slept alone behind closed doors every day. Once he falls asleep, he can't get tired of the moon. Zhou Shizong heard that he is very learned and can sleep. At that time, he was curious and wanted to find out, so he sent someone to call Chen Tuan to his forbidden room and locked him in a room. Locked for more than a month, when I opened the door, Chen Tuan was still sleeping. Zhou Shizong knew that he was a man of insight and called him to talk. He sang to Zhou Shizong, "I love sleeping, I love sleeping. No carpet, no quilt. Sheet pillow, hemp fiber floor. Thunder shook the spirits, and I was snoring and sleeping. Idle thinking about Sean, boring thinking about Fan Li, chatting about Meng De, not talking about Liu Bei, these three or four gentlemen are just fighting for leisure. How can I frown, emancipate my stomach and sleep peacefully at the top of the green hills and among the white clouds? The jade rabbit rises in the east and the red sun sets in the west. "
Chen Xiyi lived in seclusion under Huashan Mountain. One spring day, he wandered on a stone near the water's edge and got a divination of "going to bed when necessary" by chance. He said to disciple Jia Desheng: When three unexpected guests came here. Subsequently, Gong Hu, Akamatsu and Lv Dongbin arrived one after another. The earth god quickly held out a plate of fruit and presented a pot of wine. When they were four and a half drunk, each of them wrote a poem to entertain them. Chen Tuan's poem said: "In spring, the flowers are half open, and I am wandering around the rocks, and I have fallen to the jade for a reward, and I am wandering around the green hills and moss; I slept in the cave for several years, and Liu Xiahui drank a thousand cups alone. Don't talk about people, laugh at white clouds. Gong Hu's poem said: "The flowerpot has its own balcony, and flowers bloom in all seasons." . Drink nectar, get drunk or lie in the moss when you are free. "Free and unfettered is not the name of Guan Li. Down and out, dust-free Seeing people don't talk about personnel, laughing at white clouds. " The poem "Red Pine Son" says: "When I first came out of Nanshan Bamboo Village, the wine in the cave was cooked because I had retired to the rooftop, and the flowers were half open on the road; My bones are not ordinary bones, but your gift is also immortal. When you see people, don't talk about personnel, laugh and talk about Baiyun. " Lv Dongbin's poem said: "I fell into my soul, visited bloom several times, spent a lot of money selling wine and drank thousands of cups;" Wandering for 28 days, drunk on Mao Jun's platform, not talking, smiling and pointing to the white clouds. " Four people smile at one another, and then dispersed. This story can be found in Shushu.
In Song Dynasty, Zhang Zida, a native of Huazhou, came to Huashan from Taishou to pay his respects to Mr. Chen Xiyi. After the two sides sat down, they set up another seat above, as if waiting for something. The prefect adults don't know who Chen Tuan is waiting for. I thought to myself, I am the prefect here. Who can sit on my head? I feel a little unhappy. After waiting for a while, a Taoist priest in a blue robe wrapped in a towel came, and his attitude was quite solemn. Chen Tuan bowed and sat down. This kind of Taoist race sits unceremoniously on the bench. When the satrap saw that the Taoist priest was elegant, he was arrogant and unassuming, and even more unhappy, blaming the Taoist priest for being rude. But Chen Tuan still has great respect for this Taoist priest. Chen Tuan asked, What's in your sleeve, sir? Are you lucky with each other? The Taoist took out three dates from his sleeve, each with a different color, one white, one red and one blue. The white man was awarded to Chen Tuan, the red man earned his own living, and the young man was awarded to the satrap. The satrap became more and more unhappy and gave it to Zhang Lida. Zhang Ci had a big meal. After the man left, the satrap asked Chen Tuan, who is this newly arrived Taoist priest? Chen Tuan said: This is pure Yang. The satrap has no choice but to regret. Since then, Zhang Cida has also become an immortal, often traveling around the world, showing different traces. (For this story, see Different Forests.)
In the year of Taiping and rejuvenating the country, Song Taizong invited Chen Tuan to Que. Emperor Taizong wrote his own poem "Zhao Huashan, Chu Shi, Chen Tuan": "Hua Yue has heard that your surname is Chen, a guest from three islands in the cloud, and an idle person outside things; Dante works, Qingshan is a close neighbor, I miss home and want to go, and the motherland goes for no reason. " Song Taizong also has a "to Chen Tuan":
"I have been out to Baiyun, and the news is unknown later. Now, as long as I am willing to recruit, I always seek three peaks. " Chen Tuan was sad to see these letters, but he had to thank them politely. Ge Shouzhong, an emissary of Song Taizong, has a poem "Answer to Chen Chuan": "Hua Yue Sanfengke lived in seclusion for many years, and Yanyun worked for him, and he was a writer of clouds and water; It is up to the emperor to plant medicine next to Mao Ting, plant loose gullies and temporarily stay in the fairy cave. " Strange to say, Song Taizong didn't want to be his official, but he insisted on inviting someone else. He also wrote a poem "Call Chen Chuan Again": "I told you three times not to go to North Korea, and I didn't quit my job thousands of miles away. If you want to dig mountains and choose jade, you will not burn the stone into gold; Purple robes are suitable for wearing, and gold seals can be hung around the waist. I rely on Mr. Lai's assistance. Why worry? " Chen Tuan really felt sick when he saw these remarks of deceiving others by force and using the golden seal as bait. He said that he didn't go to the call, and wrote a song "Answering the messenger and resigning without going to the imperial edict": "Nine times, the purple robe announced that it was stupid and lived in a quiet place. The mountains are full of paintings, and the pines are strings; I have no intention to admire Lu on the stage, but I am interested in learning from immortals and going to the cave. I don't know what the clouds are. Sanfeng only feels for a thousand years. " Later, he hid in a cliff cave in Nanfeng, which is now a "cliff avoidance". But now that he is here, the appointed envoys can't stand it. They couldn't make friends in Emperor Taizong until Chen Tuan went down the mountain. Under the plaintive entreaties of envoys, Chen Tuan thought: If we don't persist, it will be difficult for the King of Song to come under the banner of "chiseling mountains to choose jade", so we have to leave reluctantly. So he wrote a poem "Call Ge Shouzhong": "When the crane shakes, the fairy will be scattered, and Pu Lun will fight for fame and fortune, leaving Hua Yue sad and looking back at Yuntai; The chaos in the world is really sinister. Forgetting the plane, the gull bird has no worries, and Sanfeng wants to fall with the clothes, and it is also under the sky. " Chen Tuan to bian city, emperor taizong stay very thick. When talking with Chen Tuan, Emperor Taizong thought Chen Tuan's words were very audible, so he sent eunuchs to send Chen Tuan to Zhongshu Province. Prime Minister Song Qi and others asked calmly: Can you teach people how to farm in Xuan Mo? Chen Tuan said: "People in Shan Ye were useless at that time, and they didn't know the fairy's yellow and white things and the truth of breathing and keeping in good health. There must be magic to spread it. What good is it for the world to let the days soar? Today, the Lord has a long face and good looks. He is familiar with ancient and modern times, and he is really the master of different opinions. It is the monarch and ministers who are United in helping Dexing to rule the autumn, and there is no reason to practice hard. " Qi and others applauded. With its white language, it is beneficial and important. Chen Tuan was awarded the title of "Mr Yi Xi". Chen Tuan stayed in Beijing for several months and wrote a poem "Farewell to Huashan": "Ten years have passed in the world of mortals. In order to recall the frequent dreams of green hills, Mozi struggled for glory and sleep, although the doors were not as poor as expensive; I am worried when I hear that swords and halberds help the Lord in danger. Listening to music is intoxicating. I take old books and retire to my old age. Wild flowers sing like birds. " Although Song Taizong was very kind to Chen Tuan, Chen Tuan didn't want to stay in Huashan, so Emperor Taizong had to let him go back to the mountain. However, due to Chen Tuan's visit to the imperial edict, Song Taizong has reached the reputation of a good corporal, and then sent Chen Tuan back to the mountain with a generous gift, which shows his generosity, success in fishing and pleasure in seeing the beauty of adults.
