Jingxing County belongs to Zhengding House, and the county seat is 30 miles away from Zhengding House/KLOC-0 and 720 miles away from Beijing. Surrounded by Pingshan County, Huolu County, Yuanshi County, Leping County, Yuxian County and Pingding District in Shanxi Province, it is the junction of Zhijin Province. There are many mountains in the territory, including 27 Phoenix Mountain and Cangyan Mountain, 13. The border is connected, and the terrain is dangerous. There are at least eight Niangziguan Pass alone, so it is difficult to get in and out and the traffic is very inconvenient. The land is barren, the people's livelihood is miserable, "there are many people suffering" and "there is no land for agriculture" because "the mountains are secluded, the skills are lacking, the capital is lacking, and the people are poor, so they can't do it". "Gorgeous clothes, gentleman Webb, Shu Ren short sleeves, can't cover it. There are even those who have no cotton-padded clothes in winter and lack pillows at night, but rely on coal fires to keep out the cold. " "Food only chaff, soil. Every Mid-Autumn Festival, beans and leaves such as pepper, peach, elm and locust tree are taken and pickled in jars for winter and moon. " This is a good environment for the growth and activities of folk religions. Since the Ming Dynasty, there have been many cults in Jingxing County. In the twenty-third year of Jiajing, "Wang Yao, learn the White Lotus Sect, burn incense and gather people. Event, died in prison. " During the Yongzheng period, there were many cults in the county, and the local historian "dared not take them" to the temple and sighed as follows: "... is in danger underground, and it is difficult to keep people. If you are hungry and cold, disaster will breed. The so-called place of formal victory is the hole of gathering noise. Consolidate the country without mountains and streams. What is that smell! Delicious! "
Cangyan Mountain is 70 miles southeast of the county seat. Sui Miaoyang Princess Testimony Room. There are many obstacles in the mountain, and Wan Ren stands on the wall. The structure of the bridge building is in the air, and the temple is magnificent. Surrounded by ancient trees, the cliff is shrouded in clouds, just like drawing a picture. "The ancients praised it like this:" All the five mountains are beautiful and take one mountain, and Taihang Mountain is only Cangshan Mountain. There are Buddhist and Taoist buildings from Sui Dynasty to Qing Dynasty, such as Wanxiantang, Tianwang Hall, Qiaolou Hall and Princess Hall (the Lord God is called "Sanhuanggu" and the Sui Dynasty princess is called "Princess of Nanyang" or "Princess of Yang Miao"). This mountain has always been the holy land of the Orthodox Church.
Wei and others came here to live and preach, on the one hand, to escape the official attention, and on the other hand, to try to put on the cloak of orthodox religion with the orthodox view of religious temple fairs. "Li Xiangshan governance avenue Cangyan Mountain is Taigong Tianpan. Li revised Li Xiangshan's transformation from fire to water, and Sun Buddha's Taiyin mother ruled the epidemic. Correct the Buddha, he was originally handed down by Maitreya Buddha, and he is the future Buddha. " They built an ancient Buddhist temple on the Phoenix Mountain.
However, the good times did not last long. In the tenth year of Xianfeng (1860), the governor of Zhili led troops up the mountain to check, "Imperial Palace set fire. The leader of Baoding Prefecture (then the Governor's Office of Zhili-Leader's Note) was sitting in prison, and the death was pitiful. " Li died of poison. Li xiangshan was released after being locked up for a month, and was ordered to tidy up Pan Tian (in this regard, Jiugong Road has another attachment, saying that this happened after li xiangshan and Li moved to Wutai Mountain in Guangxu in 245).
Li xiangshan first lived in Zhengding Mansion Tianjia for a period of time, and then he was ordered to find a place in Wutai Mountain, which borders Zhijin:
"After the Buddha out of baoding nowhere, ten people are connected. On the day when An Gankun of Zhengding Prefecture was in his early days, men and women were glad that they had fallen. In Zhengding, An Gankun won't last long. My mother said that the five mountains would be ruled the day after tomorrow. Wang Yinzhong led the future to see the treasure land, and the two of them went to Wutai Mountain to see everything. The Halloween temple collapsed to the ground, and my mother said that you two are safe here. "
Li xiangshan and Wang Yinzhong live in the abandoned land of Wansheng Temple in Nanshan, Wutai Mountain. Wei, Cui Kui and Wang Jing also came up the mountain. In Youguo Temple, Cui Kui shaved li xiangshan and gave him the name "Puji":
"Youguo Temple escorting the teachings and accepting money from the good Buddha as a monk. He was awarded the title of Gokurakuji Jungle Puji, and the Golden Bag was approved to establish a genealogy in the future. "
This is the second strategic shift of Jiugong Road from the plain to the depths of Taihang Mountain. Since then, Gokurakuji in the south of Wutai Mountain has become the general hub of Jiugong Road, which is called "Ancestral Temple" in teaching.
Wutai Mountain is one of the four Buddhist shrines in China, and Manjushri Dojo (Mount Emei in Sichuan is the Dojo of Bodhisattva Samantabhadra, Mount Jiuhua in Anhui is the Dojo of Bodhisattva Dizang, and Mount Putuo in Zhejiang is the Dojo of Bodhisattva Guanyin) is the Buddhist center in northern China. The mountains are stacked, the peaks flow, the pines and cypresses are green, and the clouds and shadows flow. Elegant environment, many temples, Tibetan Buddhism and Han Buddhism. Being close to the capital, it was given special preferential treatment and protection by the Qing government. It is said that the emperor shunzhi became a monk here. Emperor Kangxi, Qianlong and other Qing emperors all went sightseeing and worshipped Buddha. Pilgrims come from North China, Northeast China, Northwest China, and even East China and South China. Wei, li xiangshan and others moved from Cangyan Mountain in Jingxing County to Wutai Mountain, which is a key step in the history of Jiugong Taoism and an important step different from sage Taoism. Since then, Jiugong Road has wandered in the Buddhist jungle, appeared in the name of orthodox Buddhism, and obtained legal missionary rights. Not only did it get rid of the predicament that Bagua religion was suppressed as a cult in the North China Plain since the thirty-seven years of Qianlong, but it also survived and can be used as a legitimate religion. In addition, Jiugong Road has since made friends with dignitaries under the signboard of Wutai Mountain Buddhism, so as to spread Taoism and pray for the royal family and civil and military officials in the Qing Dynasty, and embarked on the road of combining with lawsuits. Legend of Jiugong Road: After li xiangshan was arrested in Wutai Mountain and imprisoned in the southern prison of Beijing, he showed his magical powers. The Western Empress Dowager was afraid, and gave him an imperial edict, a four-character plaque of "Clear Gold", and wrote the inscription "Really Home" with the imperial pen, telling him to run back to Nanshan, and the road opened. This is a tortuous reflection of Jiugong Road's attachment to the government and legalization in the name of Buddhism.
Ten years before and after moving to Wutai Mountain, that is, from li xiangshan's seven years of Xianfeng (1857) to Wang Zhenxiang's six years of Tongzhi (1867), was the initial period of Jiugong Road, and it was also a period of great diplomatic difficulties and survival crisis in Qing Dynasty. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom started in the south and seized the rivers and mountains. The Northern Expeditionary Army, Nian Army and Qiu Shenjiao Army of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom flourished in the north and attacked the hinterland of North China, while the British and French allied forces invaded the capital from the sea and burned the Yuanmingyuan. Emperor Xianfeng fled Beijing in panic and died in Jehol. The Qing dynasty is likely to perish. This situation provided a good opportunity for the revival of gossip, which was constantly suppressed by Gansu and Taoism. Wang Zhenxiang gathered his disciples together with the rare magic of ordinary religious leaders and women, and completed the establishment of Jiugong Road. She made use of the thoughts and beliefs widely circulated in religion, especially the orthodox symbols of Liu Zuochen's family, such as childless mother belief, congenital grandfather belief (combining Confucianism, Bodhisattva, Confucius and Maitreya Buddha's ancestor Li, that is, the integration of Liu Zuochen), the concept of vacuum hometown and the replacement of three Yang, the concept of birth and reincarnation, Li's story, Jiugong Bagua theory and other folk cultural traditions.
First of all, she deified herself, calling herself "Guangxuan's mother" reincarnated by her childless mother: "No birth mother, another change, Guangxuan is back." He also said that he was the ancestor of mankind, Nuwa Buddha, and every turn was a revered woman: "I was originally Nuwa Buddha, and the world was revealed; Zhang nuwa,, governs the mortal world. Child, it's me, a normal person; Establish four surnames, for the people, from generation to generation. " The Guanyin Bodhisattva in the South China Sea was transformed for the second time, and the men and women on Yangjia Avenue in Luojiashan were transformed. Three times, Sanhuanggu Miaoshan repaired the avenue in Xiangshan and turned to the next day. For the fourth time, the king was remoulded because of his mother-in-law. Yao's daughter, Shun's wife, fell to the east gate of Shandong the day after tomorrow. Six times bitter clove, filial mother cut her own meat for twenty-four filial piety. Seven times, Wang Zhenxiang, with Maitreya Buddha three turn nine turn, push to the best, spread the day after tomorrow. She even pretended to be the mother of Maitreya, and regarded Yu Wang and Confucius as the embodiment of Maitreya and the good son she educated to serve the people: "Maitreya, convert to Yu Wang, and publicize the views of the Buddha clearly; It's not easy. It's been over 60,000 years. Twelve years, I was tired and gave advice; In order to control water, he passed by the door and never entered the house. Octagonal seal, epoch-making, mother point; Comprehensively transform mountains, rivers, lakes and seas. Zi tuini, Maitreya, and Confucius established the code; His generation, my generation, my own son. I am mysterious and open-minded, and I will teach him a lesson; He is in charge of people, and I am in charge of the world, the root of the ancient Buddha. " She claimed to be the highest authority in the world: "I created the world, and Pangu ruled the world alone", claiming that she came to the world this time, and on the second day of her rule, she accepted the Tao and spent 9.2 billion yuan to return to her vacuum hometown: "This path is here, I am in charge; Give my mother three yuan, and the day after tomorrow will be fine. " Call on people to recognize their mother after all, and add: "this is fate, true child, come and see your mother;" Come and recognize me, mother Xuan, and you will get the truth. "
Secondly, ugly, stupid and unremarkable-Wu (li xiangshan) is known as a "real person" who avoids the sight of the Qing government and makes lip service. Li Yuting, a congenital grandfather, Maitreya Buddha, was reincarnated as Maitreya Buddha by Guangxu's mother. The day after tomorrow, he was the founder: "If you want to turn to Jiugong, the Chinese Emperor is in charge; Up to now, you have planted and you have harvested. Sakyamuni Buddha, 18 robbers, has been in charge; It's your turn, eighty-one, that is, to approach the east quickly. " "Yannan, Zhao Bei, Migong Treasure Land; In Mu Zi, this way is for children. " . Li and Li Xiangshan, "From the day before yesterday to the day after tomorrow, a normal line; Sowing the day before yesterday, harvesting the day after tomorrow, a pair of French boats. Thirty-six, the truth, and preach; This is a Yuan after the Tang Dynasty. "Just wait, at that time, no one can say for sure; Nan' anzu, to the north shore, the two families are divided. " "North and South are one, one Buddha; This is the pendulum, Dalonghua, get out of the way of Buddhism. " "The day before yesterday, and the day after tomorrow, I will stand up later; Nananzu, to the north shore, three will be true. " Although li xiangshan is ugly and unlike people, "wood is the mother and gives birth to roots." He has a big belly and can write articles; Heart, pretend Kun. Sailing on the belly is as deep as the sea; This is not bad, this is a battle. " "I like being ugly as a mother. My mother says she is real." His mother helped him to be "both immortal and divine" and "full of ghosts and gods", aiming at being "difficult and serious" and conducive to "mother educating people in secret" "It's hard to find such a person", so "don't look at him." If you "deny him, you are cut off."
Third, in order to establish the orthodox position of gossip in Jiugong Road and create a basis for the reincarnation of Li Xiangshan's innate grandfather, others made great efforts to rewrite Li's story, write secrets and genealogy, and sort out the Buddha's table (the founder of gossip, Liu Shengtaigan, passed on the theory of secrets and immortals to his great-grandfather Liu Zuochen in the thirty-seventh year). In addition, in the seventh year of Jiaqing, the son of Liu Zuochen and the new leader entrusted Hou to take charge. Give him the seal, calligraphy, genealogy table of Liu surname and the first genealogy table of Eight Diagrams as teaching evidence. If the cloud year is not good, you can take refuge with tips. Tips and genealogy have become the symbol of the authentic and supreme religious power of the leader Liu Zuochen's family, and are the basis for believers of various tribes to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestral home. ): "batch of tips, persevere and continue to lead; Create a genealogy, approve the sky, and get the roots. " "The true Buddha, the day after tomorrow, is long and far away; The foundation of the table, the table of Buddha, the source of heaven Buddha. " "Take it with you, remember the holy word, and you can interpret it; According to the genealogy, the tips are combined, and there are thousands of true classics. " In view of the doubts about the identity of li xiangshan's father in the church, Wang Zhenxiang's authority to move out of the kit was dissolved: "Twelve treasures, the kit spectrum, who can kiss; Whoever is right or wrong, the trick is to collect Yuan. Show some points about tips and genealogy; There are ten steps, real kung fu, and he knows everything. San Xuan Road, turnout, he is the leader; All imperial fetuses, if not awakened, belong to which class, have children and mothers, have identity and ascend to heaven; Mu Zi people preach and teach to solve doubts and save the suffering. " She called on people to "seriously worship Buddha, be true to their ancestors, and keep their roots unchanged", and to find out who is the root of "Hui, people are in the Tang Dynasty". It is clear that li xiangshan "was born in the seventh century, taking the root of Xiao", "showing Buddhism and preaching is also a light mystery", and quickly "recognized the golden thread with his mother and truly mastered the boat", so we must not make mistakes. Even if you join the Eight Diagrams, you must continue to follow the golden thread and convert to the incarnation of the innate Buddha Li and the acquired Buddha li xiangshan: "Whoever does not enter the list will be broken; Don't blame it, mother Guangxuan, because she owes it to women and men. " Under the banner of Li's reincarnation, tips and genealogy were compiled as evidence for the leader to accept Yuan. During the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, some non-Jiugongdao eight diagrams, including saints and Taoist disciples, also joined Jiugongdao, including Zhao Tiangang, the ninth grandson of Gao Wensheng.
Finally, according to the organizational model of three cases, five factions, nine articles and eighteen branches, Jiugong Road Organization was established. As early as the eighth year of Xianfeng (1858), "Cangyan Mountain, the best son, has a famous name", which was handed down from generation to generation. In the 11th year of Xianfeng (186 1), in mid-October, the Yang family had three Buddha tables, namely, heaven, earth and people. During Ren Xu's reign (1862, the first year of Tongzhi), a large-scale exhibition, "eighteen poles of establishing Jiuzhipu Avenue", was held and spread to the following nine palaces. "The clue of Wutai Mountain was handed down from generation to generation" and "Eight trigrams outside the nine palaces were sealed". li xiangshan sat in the nine palaces, leading the protection of the eight trigrams in the nine palaces and offering support to Allah: "There is a saint in Kowloon, whose name is Mu Zi Zhen". After Wang Zhenxiang lived as his mother, he was the commander-in-chief: "an indigenous girl, the ghost entrusted someone to preach him;" Mention the nine palaces, adjust the gossip, and help protect the yuan. " "Really, there is no Yuan, Guangxuan; I take care of the bag, and people in heaven and earth collect yuan. "The second ugly month of Jiazi, that is, the third year of Tongzhi (1864) in February, clearly declared li xiangshan as the ancestor:" Raise nine palaces, adjust gossip, and be both civil and military. " And predicted: "The road should be built until the Year of Rooster (the 11th year of Tongzhi 1873) and the Year of Dog (the 12th year of Tongzhi1874); After all, Wu Yin (Guangxu four years 1878) was in the middle. He also predicted: "The people of Mu Zi were blessed for forty years; When li xiangshan was forty years old (the eighth year of Guangxu 1882), Tao would no longer be suppressed, and he would turn over and dominate Gankun. All disciples only need "this avenue, with a heart, never stops;" After a long time, he became a Buddha and a fairy. Live in the sky, accompany the old mother, and the master will settle down; In heaven, you will be blessed and never come to earth. "
Wang Zhenxiang not only laid a public opinion and organizational foundation for Jiugong Road, but also led li xiangshan and others to preach in North China and Northeast China. "An indigenous woman, ghost committee, teaser male; Outside, find someone to turn over. ..... Find a surname, and after a long time, you can write a composition; He has something to do with it, the Mu Zi family. Lumenzi, believing in his mother's life, sincerely found out; And fate, the day after tomorrow, can be reversed. There are many people on the earth, false princes; Wang Zhenbang of Dingzhou City, carefully related. Reference, it is the old mother, pass it below; Good-hearted people, help manage money, and keep your mother safe. " "My mother and son, opening the avenue, came to the customs to worship heaven and set up a family business to secure the world." .
By the sixth year of Tongzhi (1867), Jiugong Road had taken root in Zhili, Shanxi, Fengda and other provinces. Because Wang Zhenxiang established a unified organizational system with Wutai Mountain Buddhism as the cover and the young Maitreya Buddha li xiangshan as the leader, Jiugong Road avoided the division and dispersion caused by government repression and the old age and death of the leader, and maintained a relatively unified organization for the next 45 years, thus enabling it to gather the manpower and financial resources of the whole road to preach, build temples and seal scriptures, which the sage road failed to do.
