The autumn wind is bleak, and the sky in Chang'an City has become a bit cold with the yellow and fallen leaves. This year's harvest is not bad, and passers-by are walking much more briskly. Li Chengqian has long returned to Tianxian Palace to study and live as usual. Li Shimin also used the four-corner game he heard from Li Chengqian to surprise the group of generals who were not afraid of anything. Of course, there were also some jokes in it, let's not mention it for now.
Since ancient times, Confucianism has upheld the view of respecting ghosts and gods and keeping them at a distance, and neither advocates nor opposes them. I don¡¯t know who spread this game to the ears of those Confucian scholars, causing a small commotion within Confucianism. Of course, this is not something Huang Junming cares about. According to Huang Junming's initial thoughts, it is impossible for the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism to truly destroy each other. After all, in the final analysis, even Buddhism has long been assimilated by Chinese culture. They are all Chinese thoughts and there is no absolute right or wrong. The most reasonable and best way is to integrate and learn from each other into one.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and Tianxian Palace has begun to carry out construction again. However, the current Tianxian Palace is not building houses, but doing a good job of keeping warm in winter for the Taoist priests in Tianxian Palace. In the Tang Dynasty, there was no fire kang, and they usually relied on fires in winter. The basin keeps warm. This is how we came to Tianxian Palace last winter. However, there were few people in Tianxian Palace last year, and despite Huang Junming's numerous warnings, no irreversible tragedy happened. Not this year.
In the Taoist view of health, sleeping on a fire bed is equivalent to directly contacting the body with fire poison, which is extremely harmful to the human body over time. Fortunately, Huang Junming thought of a good way last winter. As winter approaches, work is being accelerated.
All the houses in Tianxian Palace are of masonry structure, which were prepared when they were first established. Although the cost is high, they are also very safe. Even the Sutra Pavilion is supported by huge trees and covered with masonry. Done. Since the houses in Tianxian Palace are very fire-resistant, it also saves Huang Junming a lot of trouble.
Break the wall between the two rooms and create a small compartment. Put a stove in the compartment. The smoke from the stove is lowered when the smoke comes out of the smoke hole. After passing through the stacked hollow brick wall, it is discharged. In this way, you only need to burn some firewood in the furnace in winter. The heat released by the burning of the firewood can be absorbed by the brick wall and then emitted into the house. This not only avoids the poisoning caused by using charcoal fire in the house, but also It can ensure that the human body does not directly absorb the fire poison emitted, which is both practical and convenient. In fact, the principle of this heating method is the same as that of modern heaters or hot kangs, but it is more similar to hot kangs. One is placed upside down. The other one is just left standing.
?According to Huang Junming, this heating method is called a fire wall. Although it is a bit tacky, it is also very appropriate, but the cost of the fire wall is a bit high. Not all families can build a wall in their homes. Besides, many families in the Tang Dynasty still have thatched houses or mud houses. It's not too safe to set up a wall of fire. This also led to Huang Junming not spreading the fire wall.
However, although the fire wall method has not been spread, the fire kang method has been distributed to every pilgrim. The fire kang is more convenient to build and can be directly connected to your own kitchen. There is no need to concentrate on lighting a fire for it, and it is also a rare thing for ordinary families to avoid the cold. Huang Junming didn't dare to say how noble and great he was without any purpose, but such a small win-win thing could still be done.
Since the founding of Taoism, Taoism has always been a religion spread among the upper class. In the eyes of the lower class people, Taoism and immortality are so elusive and out of reach. Moreover, after Confucianism became dominant, Taoism absorbed hundreds of disciples. The thought of home is a combination centered on Taoist thought. The content and teachings are quite complicated and difficult to understand. This is why after Buddhism absorbed the essence of Taoism and Confucianism, it was more able to spread among the people at the bottom, because the ideas of Buddhism are very simple and are only defined based on the common suffering of ordinary people, but what Buddhism promotes is this life. The more suffering you eat, the better you can go to the Western Paradise and enjoy life in the next life. Compared with Taoism, which is difficult to learn and understand, it has naturally attracted a large number of people from the lower classes to become believers.
Buddhism is now weak and the people at the bottom do not have much faith. This is a huge opportunity for Huang Junming who wants to develop Taoism. However, if he wants the people at the bottom to believe in Taoism, it is not possible to just preach with sincerity. It's possible that the people at the bottom want practical things. If they don't have enough food to eat and don't have enough warm clothes, who will think about the method of becoming an immortal? There is no time that is better than thinking about how to spend the future.
Although religions all draw a big cake for the believers, they still have to bring some cake fragrance to the believers. The Taoist priests of Tianxian Palace are not able to preach for the time being, but there are so many future believers there, why can't Huang Junming think of something? Give them a good impression of Taoism? And how do these impressions come about? All I can say is, give everyone sweetness and let everyoneEveryone feels the benefits of Taoism. After believing in Taoism, they can make their lives better, that's all.
Therefore, Huang Junming generously gave this fire pit method to the believers. This fire pit from Tianxian Palace should be able to establish a sense of gratitude for Taoism among the people.
Huang Junming stood for a while watching the pilgrims coming and going. Slowly walking back to the Centenary Hall, Sun Simiao had just asked someone to tell him that there were big differences in the compilation of Dao Zang mountain skills and medical skills and he needed to make a conclusion.
Looking for a branch plot, the requirements are: 1. Reasonable and consistent with the historical background. 2. Related to Taoism. 3. It is best to be something that the lower classes are concerned about. I believe that everyone should have a concept of the protagonist's image now. Yes, the protagonist is an ordinary Taoist priest who traveled to the Tang Dynasty. Please think about it, what can a modern ordinary Taoist priest do after traveling to the early Tang Dynasty? What can you change with your knowledge? How to strengthen education according to the country? Because this book is a religious text that follows a rational path, it does not have too many twists and turns, and has relatively large limitations. And wanting to develop religion is a boring process, and the people at the bottom are an indispensable part of the development of religion. I hope everyone can brainstorm ideas. Friends who have ideas can join the penguin group and leave messages to Southwest. Thank you so much. ! ~!
