According to Taoist speculation, its active period was from Yuanyou (13 14 ~ 1320) to the 15th year of Yongle in Ming Dynasty (14 17). Legend has it that it is magnificent, with big ears and round eyes, and must be as high as a halberd. Whether it's hot or cold, it's just wilting. You can eat a meal, for a few days, or for months. Swimming is endless. When he lived in Jintai Temple, Baoji, he came back from the dead. Taoism calls it "an outing in Yang Shen". In the Ming Dynasty, he called himself "Dayuan old man". When it is hidden, it is unpredictable. In the twenty-four years of Hongwu (139 1), the court could not find it. During the Yongle period, Chengzu always sent envoys to visit. Tianshun three years (1459), Zhao slightly showed his true self. Zhang Sanfeng believes that there are only two religions, good and evil. The so-called Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are only different from their founders. In fact, "Muny, Confucius, and the old are all called Tao", and "cultivating oneself and benefiting others are also called Tao", which is also called "one yin and one yang are called Tao. One monk practices the Tao of Yin and Yang, and one yin, one yang and one life are enough." The Doctrine of the Mean says: Taoism is called monasticism. All the saints of the three religions established their religion by this way. "He also believes:" Metaphysics takes merit as the body, and then it can become immortal. " Later generations compiled The Complete Works of Mr. Zhang Sanfeng. Income collected Taoist scriptures.
According to Mr. Li's textual research in the genealogy and origin of Taiji in ancient and modern times, Sanfeng died in the second year of Tianshun in Ming Dynasty, namely 1458, with a life span of 2 12 years. From a large number of data analysis, it is confirmed that Zhang Sanfeng's annual examination of birth and death is indeed at the age of 2 12. It is also rare, rare in history, so it makes people sit up and take notice.
When Zhang Sanfeng went back to his hometown to visit the grave, he was over one hundred years old. After returning to Yanjing, all my old friends died. Xishan met Taoist Tai Wei and told him that Tai Wei was a noble scholar he met in his early years. After that, he returned to Qin Shu, visited wuyue in Jingchu, lived in Jinling and spread to Shen Wansan. After that, he still entered Qin and lived in Jintai Temple. In nineteen years, when Zhang Sanfeng left Jinling, he predicted that Shen Wansan would be assigned to the frontier, so he told him, "East and West will flourish and meet in the southwest in the future." /kloc-On September 20th, 0/9, Yang Shen went on a trip. Disciple Yang Guishan thought he had feathered and put a coffin in it, which was suitable for Yang Shen to return. Sanfeng saw the simple and kind mountain and took it away. Two years later, the Yuan Dynasty was exhausted, but the democratic leader was not established, and Wudang Mountain was built in Zhang Sanfeng. He was 120 years old at that time. Searching for Range Rover in Wudang, I found that all temples in the mountain were destroyed by fire, which means "this mountain will prosper in the future". Then he led the Taoist priests to clean up the ruins of the temple one by one and created a temple landscape to prolong the incense. Qiu, Lu, Liu, Yang Shancheng, Zhou Zhende, Sun Biyun and others. Zhang Shouqing also wants to intersect with Sanfeng and become a Taoist friend.
During the seventeenth and eighteenth years of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang invited Sanfeng to Beijing twice, but both avoided it. In the 23rd year of Hongwu, Zhang Sanfeng once again left Wudang to travel. In the 25th year of Hongwu, Zhang Sanfeng fled to Yunnan. At this time, Shen Wansan was found guilty of offending Zhu Yuanzhang and sent to Yunnan. I met Zhang Sanfeng in Yunnan, and I should meet him in the southwest in the future. Zhang Sanfeng then Shen Wansan Tianyuan took a big medicine, so the husband and wife had to eat it during the day. At the beginning of Yongle, Judy ordered Bachelor Hu Guang to visit Sanfeng. Unexpectedly, Hu Guang met Sanfeng in Wudang without knowing it. In the ten years of Yongle, Judy mobilized more than 30 military and civilian craftsmen. Ten years later, he built eight palaces, two temples, thirty-six security halls and seventy-two rock temples. Sanfeng was among them at that time, and Judy sent people to visit them many times. According to Zhang Sanfeng Biography, it is said that in the spring of 14 18, Emperor Yongle specially drove to visit Zhang Sanfeng, but Sanfeng was away, so he came in and was disappointed. Emperor Yongle flew into a rage and ordered a man named Hu Guang to find Zhang Sanfeng. If he can't find him, Hu Guang will be put to death. In the 14th year of Yongle, Judy angered Hu Guang for not finding Sanfeng. Hu Guang visited Wudang again and prayed there, hoping that Mr. Sanfeng would read his sincerity and return to Beijing, and finally met Sanfeng. At this time, Sanfeng was 167 years old. Legend has it that Zhang Sanfeng was invited by the great master to attend the Fairy Tour, driving a cloud. After crossing Wudang, he got Hu's prayer, lost his cloud head and fell in front of him, saying, "See you when you go back to Beijing. Just say I'll go. Don't worry. " Hu Guang rode back to Beijing. I arrived in Beijing on New Year's Eve, but I know that Mr. Sanfeng was received by Jin Dian Yongle Club earlier than before. This is the saying that "the Golden Temple is soaring". At this time, Sanfeng was 169 years old. At that time, there was a legend that Zhang Sanfeng could fly into the palace and escape, which was not credible. But one thing is true. Zhang Sanfeng once wrote a letter, and Biyun, the descendant of your brother, specifically told Emperor Yongle that they would live a long life. Because the emperor wants to live a long life very much, which is almost common sense.
In the early years of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty, Mr. Wang Mengjiu met Sanfeng as a demonstration. At this time, Sanfeng should be over 470 years old.
In Volume II of Nanzhao County Records in the 11th year of Qing Qianlong, it is recorded that there is a stone tablet of Zhang Sanfeng's hometown in Kouzi River, Taishanmiao Township, nanzhao county, and there is a Cao An site behind it. 19 17 years, a stone tablet "Zhang Sanfeng lived here for the first time and became a treasure hall" was erected here. (from Yizhou, Liaodong) With the name of Zhang Sanfeng making a lot of noise, Ming Chengzu gave him three titles. That is, Ming Yingzong gave him the title of "revealing reality through micro"; Ming Xianzong is famous for "keeping a low profile and pursuing true immortals"; Ming Shizong named him "a wonderful and true gentleman". According to historical records, the turtle-shaped crane in Zhang Sanfeng has big ears and round eyes, so it must have a high halberd. He only wears clothes when it is cold and hot, and wears clothes in rain and snow. During the period of 1258, the largest Buddhist-Taoist debate broke out in China. Mongolian Khan Mengge personally presided over the debate, and Fuxi, an elder of Songshan Shaolin Temple, and Zhang Zhijing, a Taoist priest of Quanzhen Sect, led teams to participate in the debate respectively, resulting in a disastrous defeat of Taoism. Since then, Taoism has gradually declined. But a century later, Zhang Sanfeng founded a new Taoist school-Sanfeng School in Wudang Mountain, which set off the last wave in the history of Taoist development in China and became the founder of Wudang Wushu.
