Lu: Yes. I used to be an entrepreneur. The reason why I abandoned business and took the later road is to start with an incident in my life:199565438+In February, I visited South Africa with an entrepreneur delegation. After work, I went to a restaurant for dinner. I don't know English because I don't have an interpreter. Looking at the menu full of English, I had to order four courses at will. Soon two dishes came up, and I enjoyed the wonderful music while slowly enjoying the exquisite food. But after a whole hour and a half, there were still only two dishes, and the other two dishes were delayed. Finally, I lost my temper and scolded. At this moment, a black man walked into the restaurant, asked why, looked at my order again, and smiled and said to me, "You ordered two dishes and two songs. You ate two dishes, and two songs have been repeated until now. You misunderstood. " This statement makes me extremely ashamed, and I apologize immediately. I was curious why black people spoke Chinese so fluently. Black people claim that they studied in Beijing and got a doctorate. Black people asked me where I came from, and I showed my China passport to show that I was born and raised in China. But the black man said, "Those who speak Chinese and hold China passports are not necessarily from China. If you lose your culture, you lose your roots. Judging from what you just said, you are not a person with China culture. " Then he asked me if I had read the Tao Te Ching, The Book of Changes, The Analects of Confucius and The Southern Classics. Do you know Laozi, Zhuangzi and Confucius? I am at a loss and speechless.
Practically speaking, this matter has a great influence on me. As a Chinese son and daughter, I know very little about my long-standing culture, so I am not as good as a foreigner. It was such a thing that became a turning point in my life and brought earth-shaking changes to my later life. So after returning to China, I spent six or seven years studying the traditional culture of China. The more I studied, the more I felt the profoundness of China's traditional culture, so I decided to convert to Taoism. Because Taoist culture is an important part of China traditional culture, strictly speaking, China traditional culture can be traced back to the root of Taoist culture.
In 2002, it can be said that I embarked on the road of promoting Taoist culture. That year, due to coincidence, I came to Hainan to develop. Originally, I wanted to set up an enterprise at the foot of Wenbifeng Mountain in Ding 'an County to develop my own business. However, in the course of investigation, I have heard many local people tell the legends and stories of Bai Yuchan's father. Bai Yuchan is the first cultural celebrity in Hainan history and the actual founder of Nanzong Taoism. It is called "the first master of Taoism and the first step of South Zongdan Road" by experts. From this, I found that Hainan Island is not a cultural desert or island in people's imagination, but a treasure island with profound cultural heritage and cultural innovation, but it has not yet been discovered. Taoism has a long history in Hainan and has always been the religion with the largest number of followers. Pangu, a real person who believes in Li and Miao nationalities in Hainan, is the highest god of Taoism. There are 24 10 natural villages in Hainan, and almost every village has a small temple. The gods believed in the temple, such as Xuan Nairen, Wei Zi Dadi, Tugong, Tupo, Guan Gong, Tianhou Niangniang and Cihang Zhenren, are all Taoist gods. According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 4,000 scattered Taoist priests in Hainan. They often pray and repay kindness in folk Dojo, eliminate disasters and prolong life, or cross over for the dead and carry out Taoist activities. It is obvious that Taoism has a deep foundation in Hainan. So, I decided to stay, not from business but from the road.
