Wang Zhongyang changed his name many times in his life. His real name is Zhongfu and his name is Yunqing. He was born in a family in Dawei Village, Xianyang, Shaanxi. Not bad money. He also knows martial arts. 1 138, he held a martial arts exam and Wang Zhongyang took the exam. In the middle of a class, it was renamed Dewei, and in the middle of the word world, it was named Dewei. After the martial arts champion, the word Shixiong was renamed Dewei. After becoming a monk, he changed his name to Lao, whose real name was Chongyang Zi, and became famous by name.
Why did he choose the name "Chongyang Zi"? Does he like Old People's Day so much? No. This involves a complicated mathematical problem. It is the wonderful Taoist holy number "9".
Double Ninth Festival, that is, Double Ninth Festival, is the pole number of Yang. In, "six" is designated as a negative number and "nine" is designated as a positive number. On September 9, the sun and the moon combined with the sun, so it was called Chongyang, and it was also weighed nine. Wang Zhongyang used three and a half feet of green cloth as a headscarf when he was monastic in Kunyu Mountain, Shandong Province. The top row is folded into ten percent, and it is folded into nine seams. It is named "Nine Turn Huayang Towel", and the nine numbers here correspond to the "Nine Returns" in the practice of Inner alchemy in Quanzhen religion. As you can see, the Taoist culture in China is extensive and profound, just like a headscarf, so much knowledge is by no means feasible.
When Qiu Chuji drove a crane to the west, Baiyun Temple mourned his network esfyw with great ostentation and extravagance, but it was also related to the number nine. After the big burial, "on the ninth day, 360 Lingbao were set up." Perhaps at this time, Qiu Chuji really completed the cultivation of Neidan.
Professor Li Chun 'an pointed out the Taoist meaning of the number 9 from the Book of Changes:
Because it is a three-yang, it is called pure yang; Two "Changchun Reality Journey to the West" or "Book of Changes" are stacked together, which is called "Double Ninth Festival". September 9th is the Double Ninth Festival or Double Ninth Festival, which is a good day. Therefore, Taoist practice is all about September 9. The fundamental reason is that Gan has 81 chapters, which is nine times nine.
Cloud: "The five elements push back one, three, five phases." Liang Qiu noted: "Three or five, the pivot of heaven and earth, the meeting of Liuhe, the whole of Jiugong, 9981 is a chapter."
Buddhism is also interested in the number 81. "Gan" says there are eighty-one laws, and "Gan" also says there are eighty-one dragon kings. Laozi, a wise master of Tiantai Sect in Sui Dynasty, and Chapter Five of Huangting Interior Classic, a Zen master of Tiantai Sect, all mentioned "confusion of eighty-one products", but they didn't seem to pay special attention to it. Taoism can't borrow the multiplication secret of 998 1 from Buddhism, because chapter 8 1 of the Mahayana Sutra has preceded it.
The Nominal Collection clearly puts forward the concept of "eighty-one difficulty", while the Maha Zhiguan, which consists of twenty chapters, eighty-one chapters, the Tao Te Ching, and eighty-one quatrains, is totally unaware of the fact that the God of Heaven at the beginning said that the drug king died and saved eighty-one difficulties. One of the most famous non-stone platform seals is Ten Books on Fixing Truth, 998 1. Four quatrains in each chapter systematically expound the theory of stone stage alchemy. Professor Li Angang's 80 chapters and 80 difficult "Miscellaneous Shortcuts" is regarded as a self-contained theory.
But in Taoism, the eighty-one difficult number game has existed since ancient times. Shu Wei's "Then Great Collection" has nine articles, and "Huanzhen Collection" quotes Huan Tan's "Huanyuan": "Huanyuan" has three articles, which are about heaven, earth and people, with three vertical styles, such as 0755-. Three is nine, because it's 9981. " Taoism is obsessed with 90%, and alchemy must be refined to "nine turns" to be considered top. Jing Kaikete just wrote: "Laojun lives in Shiyangyang Town. Who is better at burning pills and refining medicine? The fire and water in Jin Mu are bound to be impermanent. " Lao Jun's alchemy is related to the five elements at best. In The Journey to the West, when the electromagnetic pulse.
The fifth episode of "The Great Sage Steals Peach Blossom Pills" in River Map has clearly stated that Lao Juntai complained to the Jade Emperor, saying that the Monkey King stole his "Nine-turn Golden Pills", and the thirty-ninth episode "A Golden Pill was born three years later because it was from heaven", and it is also said that the Monkey King asked Lao Juntai for "Nine-turn Golden Pills" in order to bring King Wu back to life.
But I don't know why, the old gentleman put the Monkey King into the blast furnace, but it only took 7749 days. At least 49 days can't turn the Monkey King into a nine-turn elixir.
On the one hand, the Monkey King's greatness melts into the fire; On the other hand, as the name implies, the nine-turn elixir needs 998 1 day of combustion. How to achieve the effect of 8 1 day in 49 days? It's 32 days short, almost half the time, and at most it's refined into seven-turn elixir. Nature can only be refined into "critical vision". However, in the year of "Zhang Hengchuan in the Later Han Dynasty", it is said that Sun Walker experienced nine turns of exercise: "I stole the alchemy from the old gentleman, and nine turns of smelting copper and iron." Why did the Monkey King go through a big fire in New Theory, but it didn't go through nine turns? In that case, the Monkey King's merit is not complete?
