    Huang Junming didn't know Jin Chanzi's little thoughts, but at least for Huang Junming, Jin Chanzi's journey to the west again was a very good way to expand Taoism to the outside world.  After informing Jin Chanzi about this matter, Huang Junming finally let go of a major matter on his mind.

    Sometimes Huang Junming also thinks about whether what he does is unfair to Wan Mingzi, Mu Xuanzi, Jin Chanzi, and Xiaolu?  Or maybe I am too eager for quick results?  Just after time travel, he took advantage of the ignorance of the world and claimed to be an immortal, and hugged Li Yuan's thigh in time.  Then he turned against Li Yuanji.  He pushed himself into Li Shimin's chariot, and then continued to stumble upon Buddhism.  While communicating with Li Shimin, Li Shimin was convinced of his words, and took advantage of the opportunity when Fu Yi wrote an order to exterminate Buddhism to suppress Buddhism from the religious system of the Tang Dynasty in one fell swoop.

    They had just finished suppressing Buddhism, and they were using Li Shimin, the newly appointed emperor of the Tang Dynasty, to spread Taoist ideas to the upper class people. Then they were using the "Wei River Alliance", a well-known shame in the history of the Tang Dynasty.  This was the first step in the expansion of Taoism.  Then he took advantage of this trend to intervene in people's livelihood and instill Taoist ideas into the lower class people.  At the same time, they also made friends with Confucians, showing that Confucianism and Taoism had the same origin, and that one in the court and one in the private sector did not interfere with each other.  The results were quite good, at least there was no criticism from Confucianists.  At the same time, he also prepared a small package to break the Confucian monopoly on education.  He also developed Taoist technology, starting from the most basic smelting step by step.  Every one of these things.  They can all be extracted, but Huang Junming used his knowledge that surpassed the Tang Dynasty for thousands of years to mix them all together. He said he was eager for quick success and quick benefits, but maybe there was some truth in it. This happened many times.  All suppressed Huang Junming's heart, and Taoism was adapted bit by bit after training and Taoism.  Taoist thought has also penetrated into the domestic people's beliefs little by little.  Maybe someone said.  Chinese people have had atheistic ideas since ancient times. God is just a collection of things that Chinese people generally hope for and worship.  Immortals represent high moral character and longevity.  According to this kind of thinking.  It is true that Chinese people have been atheistic since ancient times.

    Huang Junming¡¯s latest compilation of Taoist Canon did not mention gods too much, but focused on the humanistic level that everyone can understand, which is the popular Chinese virtues.  This saying that one cannot become an immortal without virtue has been around for some time.  Furthermore, according to the idea of ??reincarnation, those who are great in virtue and great virtue are promoted to immortality, and those who are moderately good and moderately virtuous are reincarnated as human beings.  Enjoy all the wealth.  Small kindnesses and small virtues lead to fewer illnesses and less pain.  The small evil ones will suffer many diseases and sufferings, the medium evil ones will be reincarnated as animals, and the big evil ones will fall into hell forever.  This is completely based on the moral concept and adds the concept of gods and evil spirits, which is acceptable to everyone.  As for the Dragon King moving clouds and spreading rain, Feng Bo holding the wind, and Thunder God holding thunder, there is no need for Huang Junming to change them. These are all symbolic symbols of farming civilization praying for "good fortune".  As for the Emperor of Heaven, Heavenly Soldiers, Heavenly Generals, Heavenly Officials and Heavenly Officials, Huang Junming mostly maintained their original appearance.  The common people will not care about these gods.  As for why?  Haha, people are concerned about their own lives.  Most officials are just in awe, right?  Perhaps in the hearts of most people, a heavenly soldier or a heavenly general is not as valuable as the God of Fuqing, the Lord of the Earth.

    So in the Taoist or Xuanmen re-led by Huang Junming, in addition to the normal classics, martial arts, divination and other skills, there is also a spiritual level and theme.  It is also a manifestation of a large collection of the essence of Chinese national thought, and even if this kind of thing can be pursued by the people, it is also strongly supported by the rulers.  It can be said that the previous Taoism must have been sublimated a lot. After all, this idea was also one of the main themes of the original Taoism, but it was slightly obscured.  It¡¯s just not that easy to understand.  And Huang Junming cleared this fog and made everyone understand and accept it.

    I believe that under the dual-pronged approach of spirit and material, the thoughts of the entire Tang Dynasty will gradually become unified, and the common points between Confucianism and Taoism that Huang Junming deliberately highlighted can accelerate the process of the integration of Confucianism and Taoism. In this way, the religion of Taoism  In the Tang Dynasty, after the foundation was established and the country became prosperous and strong, it must move outward.  As the country's army moves outward, this is one of the reasons why the several crusades of ancient Christianity and the several holy wars of Islam were all for this purpose.  The other is to rely on culture to continuously cannibalize the other party.  But no matter which method of preaching is chosen, it is a little too ambitious for today's Taoism.  After all, the country¡¯s thinking has not yet been unified, and it still lacks some enthusiasm to ¡°go global¡± like this.

    Although there is no way to preach the gospel on a large scale now, the front station must be conquered. There is one shopping mall, which is for the nomadic people in the north.  Jin Chanzi's trip to the Western Regions can be regarded as one. In this way, he can almost lay the foundation in most places in Asia. Of course, a country made up of four small islands will be ignored for now.  It will save a lot of effort when the time comes to actually preach abroad.  Furthermore, Islam is growing little by little, and this growth is reflected in the flames of war.Among them, the surrounding small countries can form a buffer zone between Islam and Taoism. When Christianity recovers from the darkness, just watch Christianity and Islam fight each other.  When both sides suffer, they are reaping the benefits.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Outbreak in China is the foundation, and early preaching is the foundation.  Going global is the ultimate goal.  And this, the points mentioned above are indispensable, so for this ultimate goal, even Jin Chanzi, Wan Mingzi and the others will have complaints in the future.  Huang Junming will not regret it either.

    In September, the weather is extremely hot.  It's dull, with little wind.  According to Li Chunfeng's calculations, a solar eclipse will occur at noon today. The solar eclipse in March will arrive as scheduled, which gives Li Chunfeng the confidence to not shirk this time.  A memorial was given to Li Shimin early.  Announced that there will be a solar eclipse today.  Of course, this solar eclipse cannot be calculated by the Imperial Supervisor of the Taishi Bureau.

    After getting the message from Li Chunfeng, Li Shimin felt somewhat confident. At least Li Chunfeng had predicted the last solar eclipse, right?  Based on his trust in Li Chunfeng, Li Shimin led the civil and military officials to stand on the Temple of Heaven again.

    Time passes moment by moment.  The hot weather in September makes people impatient to wait.  Originally, the civil and military officials of this dynasty were relatively heavy-handed, and after standing under the scorching sun for so long, I had already become impatient.

    "Master Li, is there a solar eclipse today? If there is no solar eclipse, be careful of me being involved in your crime of deceiving the emperor!" A middle-aged official with a sweaty face said to Li Chunfeng with an arrogant expression.  Looking at the colleagues around him who nodded in agreement, the official who spoke shook his head proudly.

    Li Chunfeng heard this.  He didn't answer, but gave a thumbs up and looked at the sun with his eyes closed.  Then he picked up a small branch and wrote and drew on the ground.  He mumbled something and then took three steps to the west.  I found a soft place and inserted the branch in my hand.  Then draw a small circle next to the shadow of the branch.  Then he said seemingly casually but confidently: "Everyone, wait a moment. When the shadow of this branch reaches the position of the circle drawn by Xiaguan, the solar eclipse will naturally come. When the solar eclipse ends, the shadow of this branch will naturally  This is how the circle comes out!¡±

    After hearing what Li Chunfeng said, a group of officials ignored and sneered, but few people really felt that what Li Chunfeng said was true. However, this thing is good proof. As soon as the solar eclipse comes, everything will be clear.  Sure enough, a quarter of an hour later, the shadow of the branch just touched the outermost edge of the circle drawn by Li Chunfeng.  A black spot appeared on the edge of the sun.  eclipse!  coming!

    During this solar eclipse, Li Shimin carried out everything according to the traditional sun-saving ceremony.  Nothing happened.  Once the things mentioned in this program are put into practice, the mood will be different from the last time.  After a while, the sacrifice was over, and the sun showed a little shadow from the darkness.  An interested person glanced at the circle drawn by Li Chunfeng, and saw that the shadow of the tree branch had just left the circle.  The officials who noticed this were all amazed by Li Chunfeng's calculation skills. They planned to make friends with Li Chunfeng after returning, but who would have thought that Li Chunfeng turned around and returned to Tianxian Palace, which made those officials sigh.

    "Come back?" Huang Junming saw that it was Li Chunfeng who was back.  asked casually.

    Li Chunfeng said nothing more and nodded.

    "Why, do you know that your algorithm is correct this time?" Huang Junming asked again.

    "Well, Xiaodao is preparing to record his thoughts and compile a new calendar." Li Chunfeng replied pertinently.

    "Oh? Compile a new calendar?" Although Huang Junming had known that Li Chunfeng had the intention of compiling a calendar, he didn't expect him to be so anxious.  "I wonder if you plan to use the current lunar calendar or prepare a new calendar?"

    "Is there any other calendar besides the lunar calendar?" Li Chunfeng was quite confused about this point.

    Huang Junming just asked casually, with no special thoughts. It was just that after traveling to the Tang Dynasty, Huang Junming was always prone to omissions in the lunar calendar. He was really not used to it. Although the Taoist zodiac auspicious days are inseparable from the lunar calendar, he was used to it.  Huang Junming of Modern Calendar still expresses his annoyance at the fact that there is only a lunar calendar but no solar calendar.

    "That's natural. As you know, our current lunar calendar is based on the waxing and waning of the moon, so it can be called a lunar calendar. And where there is yin, there is yang, so naturally we should create a solar calendar?"  Huang Junming was born and explained.  "Every year on the lunar calendar, there are three hundred and sixty-five days and three o'clock, which is calculated from the spring of the previous year to the spring of the next year. Among the twelve months of each year, some are five months long and some are six months long. Taken together, it is three hundred and fifty  Fourteen days or three hundred and fifty-five days, there is a difference of 11 days and 3 o'clock or 10 days and 3 o'clock every year, so a leap month occurs. There are three leap months in eight years, which is a leap month every two years and a leap month every two years.  There is a leap month in the year. Why are there big and small moons and leap months? This is based on the degree of the moon and stars, which guarantees that every tenth monthThe five moons are reunited, thus producing a big moon, a small moon and a leap month.  The festival of each month should not be advanced by more than the fifteenth day of the previous month and postponed by no more than the fifteenth day of this month.  If the Beginning of Summer in February or April is before March 15th, it must be a leap month.  If the white dew in June and August occurs before July 15th, there must be a leap month of June.  Therefore, it is said that in February of the nine years ago, the New Year's Day of this year was the same, and the fifteenth day of each month coincided with the first day of the Lunar New Year.  However, there have been slight changes in the sixty years, either one day of offset, one day of postponement, or one day of advance. Likewise, in the case of Hu¨¡ Jiazi, there are only two or three days of changes.  There are only five months in the Gregorian calendar each year, with the month being 30 days smaller and 31 days larger, so there are 367 days in each year. Therefore, February has only 28 days, so there are only 365 days in each year, which is the same as the week.  Compared with the number of days, there are three hours less each year, so there are twelve hours, or one day, less in four years. Therefore, February will be a leap day in four years, catching up with the 365 degrees of the sky. This will last forever.  No one can change it.  The lunar calendar is based on the lunar calendar. Are we creating a new calendar based on the sun?  After all, these are the laws of nature in the universe.  "
