Lv Dongbin's story: ancient folk myths and legends about Lv Dongbin.
Formerly known as Lu rang, his father was the secretariat of Haizhou. His real name is rare. Taizong Zhenguan was born in Yongle County on April 14th, 20th year. This book has been easy to read since childhood. There are hundreds of profound books, but they are not the first of the three moves of Jinshi.
The following year, when Wu Zetian won, Lu, 46, went to Chang 'an to catch the exam and met an angel in a hotel. Zhong Liquan asked him to dream, to become famous for himself, to get rich, and to close the shadow of his wife. When he woke up, he knew that fame and fortune were all dreams, so he realized that he worshipped Zhong Liquan as a teacher and went to Zhong Nanshan to practice monasticism. He changed his name to Shao and Dong Bin. After that, he traveled all over the country, preaching and teaching. At the age of 53, he returned to Lushan Mountain. At the age of 64, he went to Yuanshi County and Yudi, whose name was Chundaizi.
Since the Tang and Song Dynasties, he has been known as Han Zhongli, Lan Caihe, Zhang, He Xiangu, Han Xiangzi and Cao Guojiu. Among folk beliefs, he is the most famous of the Eight Immortals, and also the most legendary. He came from an official family, and his ancestors were officials in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Lv Dongbin has been familiar with history since he was a child. Some people say that he is a local official of Tang Baoyuan.
Later, tired of the chaos of war and chaos, he abandoned the fame and fortune in the world and took his wife to practice at Jiufeng Mountain in Zhongtiao Mountain. He and his wife both live in caves, and they have relatively great hopes, so they changed their names to Lv Dongbin. Lu refers to the couple, both of whom are Lu; A cave is the cave where you live; Bing means to tell people that he is a guest in a cave, and his road name is Chunzi.
Before he left the office, he gave generously to the poor and did many good things for the people. According to folklore, in the process of cultivation, he met the immortal Zhong Liquan and worshipped him as a teacher. After the success of cultivating immortals, I went down the mountain to treat the people without any reward. Lv Dongbin was kind and helpful all his life, and helped the poor and won people's admiration. After his successful official career, people in his hometown built the Lv Gong Temple to commemorate him.
In the Jin Dynasty, because Lv Dongbin believed in Taoism, he changed the temple to view it. At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, Kublai Khan knew that Taoism believed by Lv Dongbin was very popular among the people, so he wanted to use the reputation of religion and Lv Dongbin to consolidate his rule, and sent Buddhist Qiu Chuji to take charge of Taoism, demolish Taoist temples and build Yongle Palace.
It took 1 10 years from the construction of the Great Hall to the drawing of several murals, which almost lasted the whole Yuan Dynasty. Lv Dongbin is a little-known ordinary figure, but in the long-term folk circulation, like snowballing, the story is getting richer and richer, becoming an arrow-like legend.
Lv Zu's autobiography was published in Wu Zeng's Notes on Cang Gaizhai (volume 18) in the early Southern Song Dynasty. It is said that Lv Dongbin once said to himself, "I'm surprised. The whole world says I can fly a sword to get the head." . In fact, there are three swords, one is the worry of the ignorant, the other is the anger of the ignorant and the third is the greed of the ignorant.
