Lv Dongbin, formerly known as Lv Yan, is one of the Eight Immortals in Han folklore and Taoism. Dong Bin, in the 12th year of Zhenyuan, Tang Dezong (796), was born in Zhaoxianli, Yongle County, in Hezhongfu (now Zhaoxian Village, Yongle County, Ruicheng County, Shanxi Province).
Famous Taoist immortal, one of the Eight Immortals, one of the five great heroes, one of the five sons of Wenchang, one of the founders of Quanzhen Wuyang School, and a representative of the Inner Dan School in Zhonglu. At the same time, it is also the god of dreams, scientific research, stationery, gold panning and hairdressing, and it also has the nature of medical god, Wu Shen and God of Wealth.
Lv Yan was a scholar in Tang Baoyuan (AD 825) and worked as a local official. Later, I was tired of the troubled times of the mutiny, abandoned the fame and fortune in the world, and took my wife to Jiufeng Mountain in Zhongtiaoshan to practice.
Living in a cave with his wife, he was relatively hopeful, so he changed his name to Lv Dongbin; "Lu" refers to a couple, and the two are Lu; "Cave" is a cave where people live; "Bin" means to tell people that they are guests in the cave.
His name is Junko. Before he abandoned his official position and fled, he distributed his wealth to the poor and did many good things for the people. According to China folklore, during his practice, he met the immortal Zhong Liquan and worshipped him as his teacher. After the success of cultivating immortals, he went down the mountain to treat the people and never asked for any reward.
He has been charitable all his life, helping the poor and winning people's admiration. After soaring, people in his hometown built "Lv Gong Temple" as a memorial for him. In the Jin Dynasty, because Lv Dongbin believed in Taoism, he changed the name "temple" to "view".
In the early Yuan Dynasty, Kublai Khan learned that Taoism in Lv Dongbin was very popular among the masses, so he planned to use religion and the reputation of Lv Dongbin to consolidate his rule. Later, he sent Qiu Chuji, a Buddhist, to take charge of Taoism, demolish the "Lu Public Relations", build a large-scale project and build the "Yongle Palace". It took 1 10 years from the construction of Daxiong Hall to the drawing of murals in several halls, almost the same as the whole Yuan Dynasty.
Later, Lv Dongbin visited Lushan Mountain, saw a real dragon, and taught the Tiandun swordsmanship. When I visited Chang 'an at the age of sixty-four, I met a white-robed feather in Tsing Yi, writing poems on the wall. Lv Dongbin saw that he was eccentric and poetic, so he asked his name. Yu Shi said, "I'm Mr. Fang Yun. I live in He Ling, Zhong Nanshan. Do you want to go with me? " Lv Dongbin didn't agree.
This Mr. Fang Yun is "Zhong Liquan". In the evening, Zhong Liquan and Lv Dongbin stay in the bar together. When Lv Dongbin was asleep, Mr. Fang Yun cooked for him alone. He dreamed that he was the top scholar, proud of officialdom, and full of children and grandchildren, which was extremely glorious.
