---------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------
Lv Yan (Yizuoyan) was a famous Taoist priest in the Five Dynasties and early Song Dynasty. One of the legendary "Eight Immortals". No. Chunyangzi. One said it was named Dongbin, and the other said it was named Dongbin. His place of residence and dates of birth and death are unknown. Earlier records from the Song Dynasty called him "Guanzhong Yiren" or "Guanyou
ren". After the Yuan Dynasty, it was more consistent that he was Yongle Town, Puban County, Hezhong Prefecture (now part of Rui County, Shanxi Province). City) people, or people from Dongping (governed in today's Dongping, Shandong).
He was born around the end of the Tang Dynasty and died at the beginning of the Song Dynasty. He was a contemporary of Chen Tuan. As for later generations who pushed his living era up to the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty (713-741), it was based on the Taoist Lu Weng's story recorded in the "Pillow in the Pillow" written by Shen Jiji of the Tang Dynasty. In addition, there are many different legends. More credible is the record in "National History": Lu Dongbin, a Confucian scholar, transferred to Taoism due to his unfavorable academic performance. He met Zhongli, a hermit of the Five Dynasties, and was granted the teachings of Neidan. He lived in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain and was active in Guanzhong. . "More than a hundred years old, but
looks like a baby. It is said that there is swordsmanship from generation to generation, and it was in Chen Tuan's room", together with Chen Tuan, Li Qi ("Li Qi") and other legendary figures
Communicate. Hao expressed the essence of inner alchemy in poetry and contributed to the formation of Zhonglu's golden alchemy. There was a disciple Shi Jianwu (Huayangzi) in the Northern Song Dynasty who passed on his teachings.
Lu Dongbin took Neidan as the path to immortality, and also studied Zen Buddhism. He claimed that "I studied Confucianism at a young age, and grew up good at Xingzong. I cultivated Tianjue and abandoned others
Jue, despised and stubbornly emptiness, and realized the vacuum. Tianjue Stopping at human affairs, the vacuum is inseparable from causes and conditions.” ①It is pointed out: "Those who practice alchemy must first correct their furnace." As an alchemy furnace, spirit energy and semen are medicines, and the eyes, ears, mouth, and nose are the eight doors of the furnace, and "always stick to them." Don't hurt
Inner truth, "then in the furnace of heaven and earth, the cauldron of creation, mix the medicine, match the yin and yang, and refine the divine energy." It is believed that "those who follow the Tao of Heaven
always keep the true and pure Qi of Yuan Yang in their body, and then they can live forever", and said, "It depends on transforming and refining the five elements.
Already". It advocates that one day should be regarded as a year, and the day should be regarded as spring and summer, and the night should be regarded as autumn and winter. "The rise and fall of yin and yang are in the four seasons." ② The day and night end at the beginning
Cultivation. He also believes that "the source of life is one Qi. When it comes, there is one husband and one woman; when it goes, there are three men and three women." The golden man picks yellow buds on the platform of the Nine Palaces, and the jade girl collects them. The white snow is on the twelfth floor. Fire is made in the water to divide the Eight Diagrams; the Yin is refined to distinguish the Nine States. So the three fields gather together and the fire dragon comes out of Hunqu. After a thousand days, it swims on Pengdao. . There are eight out of ten essentials:
The seven ways to achieve small success, the six ways to achieve medium success, and the five ways to achieve great success." It is proposed that cultivation should start by eliminating the six desires and seven emotions, purging the accumulated energy in the heart and gathering the spirit. The method behind the elbow is to carry the medicine up the back through the tail to enter the brain. You should think of the dragon, tiger, river and chariot to lift it up.
But you should prevent the deficiency of kidney yang from entering the top of the head and causing the disease. The upper blockage generates heat, so the three men of Zhen, Kan, and Gen and the three women of Xun, Li, and Dui "pitch and open up, and the sections will rise and save, and don't be in a hurry to pass the test." Continuing to fly the golden crystal, "hit three levels in one hit" and go straight into the upper palace. After refining for a long time, if you think too much, you will spit out jade liquid to refine its shape. There are also methods such as gold liquid returning elixir and refining the form. ③His poems, such as "The world is hidden in a grain of millet, mountains and rivers are cooked in a two-liter pan", "People don't recognize the turtle who drinks it, and the ghost who burns the mountain charm is ugly", etc., are strange and strange, and are particularly popular.
After the Northern Song Dynasty, people in successive dynasties pretended to be Lu Dongbin (also known as "Hui Taoist priests", "Hui guests", "Huishan people", etc.) and performed various strange things. Deeds of deification come one after another. Folk belief in Lu Dongbin is very popular. A Taoist scholar of the Song Dynasty once compiled "Ji Xian Zhuan" and said that among the Taoists of the Tang and Five Dynasties, "only Chunyangzi Lu Gong was the most powerful". The "autobiography" named after Lu Dongbin claimed that he met Zhongli and Kuzhu Zhenren and obtained the golden elixir and the way to exorcise ghosts. "When I was fifty years old, I visited Guo Shangzao for the first time and Zhao Xiangu for the second time."
"I often traveled to Zhejiang, Bianjing, and Qiaojun. I tasted the white horn belt and there was a mole under my right eye. , like a messenger in the world, with big muscles. Shiyan
I sell ink and fly my sword to take people's heads. I heard that there are actually three swords: one to cut off worries, two to cut off greed and anger, and the third to cut off lust.
My sword. There are gods in the world who are not as good as teaching me my methods. Why should I do the opposite?
Even if you shake hands and fight with each other, you will never become enlightened." ① Miao Shanshi, a Taoist priest of the Yuan Dynasty, compiled the seven-volume "Miao Tong Ji of the Divine Transformation of the Chunyang Emperor", which collected 108 transformation stories.
Therefore, Lu Dongbin was also worshiped by the emperor. In the first year of Xuanhe of the Song Dynasty (1119), he was conferred the title of "Miao Tong Zhenren". In the third year of his reign (1310), he was named "Chun Yang Yan".
According to legend, Lu Dongbin passed down the twelve subjects of "Ling Bao Bi Fa" taught by Zhong Liquan, which is the canon of Zhong Lu's Golden Alchemy. Self-authored one volume of "Jiuzhen
Jade Book" (recorded in "History of Song Dynasty·Yiwenzhi", i.e. Volume 26 of "Daoshu", Part 1), and "Thirty-Part Chapters on the Houhou"
One volume ("Zhizhai Shulu Jieti" is recorded, which is Chapter 25 of the "Daoshu" volume. "Zhizhai Lu" also records "Chunyang"
Zhenzhen Jindan Jue "One volume, it is called this chapter, slightly different). His thoughts on alchemy are still scattered in the "Five Precepts" of "Daoshu"
"Zhongmiao" and "Zhixuan"; his poems include "Jindan Shijue" compiled by Xia Yuanding of the Southern Song Dynasty, and written by Yang Yi It is consistent with the saying that "more than 100 poems have been passed down from generation to generation". Some of the poems were quoted by Yang Yi, but there are few works on which they are based; Notes from home. "Chunyang Zhenren Hunchengji" collected in "Zhengtong Taoist Canon" was compiled by He Zhiyuan, a Taoist priest of the Yuan Dynasty, and is a mixture of authenticity and forgery. "Lu
Zuzhi·Yiwenzhi" adds "Knocking Yao Song", ten miscellaneous songs, etc., which is even more unbelievable.
Although "Lü Gong's Kiln Head Blank Song" is recorded in "Zhizhai Shulu Jieti", there is actually "Fu Zheng Gong" (Fu Bi) in it,
" Names such as "Zhang Shangshu" (Zhang Shangying) and "Zhao Privy" (Zhao Ding) are obviously forged by people from the Southern Song Dynasty. "Tao Zang Ji Yao" collects
works signed by Lu, most of which were relied upon by later generations or written by Fu Ji. Most of "The Complete Book of Lu Zu" is also a forgery.
