Heavy snow has blocked the mountain, and nearly half of the Taoism has been hidden
"Let's go and go for a walk." Yuan Tiangang was also a little tired of staying in this room. Hearing Huang Junming's suggestion, he followed out in agreement. .
It was evening, and the sky was a little dark with numerous snowflakes. Strangely enough, the winter of the first year of Zhenguan should be considered a warm winter. At least for Huang Junming and others, it was not very cold. At least it was much warmer than the winter of the ninth year of Wude. It's just that he wears a few extra layers of clothes under the ordinary Taoist robe, and a layer of sheepskin vest and sheepskin trousers on the outside, which is already considered a winter coat. Fortunately, as long as I don't stand outside for a long time, it's not too cold.
People say that when it snows, it becomes cold when it is not cold. Huang Junming finally understood the meaning of this sentence. The heavy snow falls from the end of October to the winter months, and then from the winter months to the twelfth lunar month, with almost no signs of stopping. It seems that this day is to make up for the rain owed in the summer in another way. Although there was no cotton at this time, there was still fur. Even poor families without fur would prepare some linen rags and other things as fillers for winter clothes. In addition, every family has a fire kang, and every family has a surplus of food. It is not difficult to survive this winter.
The so-called cat winter means hiding in a warm house and enjoying a leisurely life.
"Fellow Daoist Yuan, look at the snowflakes falling from the sky. Do they know that they cannot exist in this world forever?" Huang Junming looked at the snowflakes and said softly.
Yuan Tiangang also looked leisurely, with his hands in his sleeves and unwilling to take them out. Hear Huang Junming's murmur. He frowned slightly and shook his head. Then he said: "Tao and Dharma take me and me as the real thing."
Huang Junming listened to Yuan Tiangang's answer, and in order to answer the question, he changed the topic and turned to Yuan Tiangang and said: "Fellow Taoist Yuan, we have been in contact for more than two years, right? We are busy compiling Taoist canon all day long. , but it also makes your head full of green hair have some white hair. We are no longer outsiders. This poor Taoist will call you Lao Yuan, which is always called you by fellow Taoists, but I always feel a little unfamiliar."
"That's great!" Yuan Tiangang fully agreed with Huang Junming's suggestion to change his tune. At least for him, during this period of time in Tianxian Palace, he could witness with his own eyes that Huang Junming became a leading figure in Taoism in the Tang Dynasty, although all of Huang Junming's achievements were basically inseparable from him, Yuan Tiangang. But without Huang Junming as a guide, Yuan Tiangang might still be just a famous Taoist who has extensive research on physiognomy.
Hearing Yuan Tiangang's approval, Huang Junming nodded and said: "Old Yuan, we are halfway through the process of Tao Zang, and what is left is nothing more than the compilation of the 'Five Arts' and the 'Technology'. So I am so poor. Tao is thinking about going down to the mountains next year when the locust plague is over. It has been several years since I came to the Tang Dynasty, and I have never left Chang'an City. If I go out for a walk, I will see that the great rivers and mountains of the Tang Dynasty are great!"
"It's good to walk more." Yuan Tiangang didn't mean to stay. This is how people live. Be casual and natural, follow your thoughts and body. No sloppiness. For Taoists, every day is a day of seeking the Tao, and every thought is a node in exploring the Tao. Blocking someone's path is blocking his Taoist heart. "Three holes
, the fourth auxiliary, and the twelfth category are basically nearing completion. There is no need to worry about these five arts. Mountain and medicine are managed by nephew Feng Junzi and Taoist Sun, and they must be finished soon. As for the three arts of destiny, fortune telling, divination and science, we can take our time, even if Tao Zang is really Even though it has been published in the world, I am afraid that these five arts and science cannot be spread to others. "
Huang Junming knew that Yuan Tiangang was right. The original three caves, four supplements, and twelve categories of the Chinese Taoist Canon are about to be compiled. The so-called three caves refer to the classics named by the three Taoist saints, and the four supplements refer to the names of these three Taoist saints. The following are the classic "auxiliary scriptures" and scriptures that run through the thoughts of the Three Saints. These things are the core and basic things of Taoism. It is not difficult to compile them. It is nothing more than a waste of time on the annotations. It is just a compilation process of categories, so it is quite fast to explain.
And these twelve categories are just a general term,
In fact, there are more than twelve types of things compiled in these twelve categories. The first category is about the original text of the scriptures; the second category about the talismans is about dragons, chapters, and phoenix seals, and miraculous miracles. The third type of jade formula is more difficult, which is the annotation and interpretation of all the Taoist scriptures at present; the fourth type of spiritual pictures is based on drawings as the focus of works; there are also genealogical records, biographies, chapters and tables, etc. Wait, if we really break it down, not to mention twelve categories, even thirty-six and seventy-two categories can be divided.
However, most of these things have been compiled in the past two years. Those that are more specific and need to be re-explained with new meanings have already been explained under the organization of Huang Junming, Yuan Tiangang and others, and the remaining parts have been Most of them are related to, or related to, this reinterpreted classic.It cannot be repeated too much. Therefore, although the task of compiling Tao Zang is still less than half, the workload has been reduced by more than one or two times.
In addition to these, the other discipline originally summarized and developed by Huang Junming is Xuanmen, the basic teachings of Taoism. Two wishes, wishing for heaven and man to become one, and to ascend to immortality and seek enlightenment. I wish to help the world and save people, and awaken the spirit for virtue. It was written long before the compilation of Tao Zang. The entire compilation process of Tao Zang is based on the basic ideas of this one door and two wishes. And this is also one of the earliest knowledge imparted to those Taoists who studied in Tianxian Palace. As for the five arts, Shan Shu's martial arts moves can be practiced and transcribed. It can be said that it is not difficult. However, Feng Junzi was fooled by Huang Junming and planned to find a routine that was most suitable for fighting. Therefore, the progress has been delayed and cannot be completed. Could it be that this Feng Junzi plans to follow Huang Shang of a certain dynasty in later generations and develop a set of peerless martial arts? I'm afraid that's it. As for medical skills, it can be said that the progress of the content in the Taoist canon that has been written so far is the slowest. There is no way, medical skills are no better than others. This can be fatal if you are not careful. You must be cautious and careful to eliminate the original Taoist medical books. It is complicated and appropriately adds some diagnostic methods that are not found in the Taoist scriptures. It can be said that it is extremely complicated. Fortunately, Sun Simiao was still enjoying it. A few days ago, it was said that a method for "vaccination" was found in a book of unknown dynasty and unknown author. This made Comrade Sun, who devoted himself to medical skills, happy for a long time.
In the past few days, I studied Li Joseph's "History of Chinese Science and Technology" and discovered that many things I wrote before were wrong. Alas, the tragedy of light knowledge was just that. For example, the firewall I wrote before. This thing existed in the Qin Dynasty!
"Vaccination" as we call it today has been recorded as early as the Ge Hong period. The method of vaccination was invented in the fifth and sixth centuries AD. In 1500, Chinese medicine officially published a book introducing this therapy. At this time, Europeans knew nothing about it, and many patients lost their lives. After the Chinese vaccination method was spread to the West, it was spread to Britain via Turkey in 1700. In the early 19th century, Edward Jinnah discovered that the cowpox vaccine could safely prevent smallpox.
