Zhong Liquan, whose real name is Li Zhong, is the founder of Quanzhen Taoism, the mainstream Taoism in the world. His real name is Right, the word Yunshi, the word Jingdao, the name Zhengyangzi, the nickname and the beard, and he is from Xianyang, Han nationality. Because the prototype is a general in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it is also called Han Zhongli. Less work literature, especially like a grass sage, is eight feet long and official to general. Later, due to his failure in Zhong Nanshan, he was awarded Tao by Donghua Emperor. It is hidden in Yangjiao Mountain in Jinzhou. Dao Cheng, Yi. Claiming that "the world is in chaos and Hanzhong is decentralized." Quanzhen respected him as "the founder of Zhengyang". Later, it was listed as the second ancestor of Quanzhen North Sect. It is also one of the Eight Immortals in Taoist legends. Inspired by Tie Guai Li, he went up the mountain to learn Taoism. After going down the mountain, fly swords to kill tigers and collect gold for the public. Finally, I went to heaven with my brother Jane. Lv Chunyang left again. Yuan Shizu honored him as the King of Zhengyang Enlightenment, and Yuan Wuzong honored him as the Emperor of Zhengyang Enlightenment. According to legend, when visiting immortals in the Northern Song Dynasty, the Eight Immortals climbed Mount Sun Shi at the invitation of Tie Guai Li.
Quanzhen, the second ancestor of northern sects, was recorded in Zhong Liquan's unskilled literature. He is especially fond of the sage of grass, with fine eyes, handsome beard, 8 feet long and handsome appearance, and soon the official admonished the doctor. At that time, the Tubo rebellion, Zhong Liquan was sent to the battlefield. Liang Ji, the powerful minister, was very jealous. Afraid that he had made the first contribution, he gave him twenty thousand old, weak and beaten soldiers. The troops arrived, the camp was unstable, the enemy seized the opportunity to rob the camp, and the sergeant scattered. Zhong Liquan fled to the valley alone, lost his way, and went into the mountains at night. Later, he met a unkempt monk Hu in a straw coat and led him to a village. He said, "This is where Mr. Donghua became a monk. The general can rest. Zhong Liquan dare not disturb the people in the village. After a while, he suddenly heard someone say, "This blue-eyed monk has a big mouth! Seeing that the man was wearing a white deer leather coat and holding a green thistle stick, he asked, "Isn't this Zhong Liquan, the general of the Han Dynasty?" ? "Zhong Liquan should track:" yes ". The old man said, "Why don't you live at the monk's house?" Zhong Liquan was shocked when he heard this. Think about it. How did the old man know I was coming? This will be different. At this time, Zhong Liquan was hungry and tired, and he had the ambition to love cranes. He asked for help and begged the old man to spend the rest of his life. This old man is Mr Donghua (also known as Donghua), and his name is Wang. He is immortal. Teach Zhong Liquan the true formula of immortality, Dan Huo and Qinglong Dao. Later, I met Huayang, a real person, who came to preach the teachings of Taiyi Farce, Hovenidan and Dong Xiao Xuanxuan. The secret of the jade box was obtained in Siguifeng, Zijin, East Jiangxi. It was finished, tied up and covered with mistletoe leaves, so it became a real fairy. The Jade Emperor named him a real person in Taiji Zuogong. "A General Examination of Continued Literature" says: "Donghua Shaoyang Emperor, Emperor Jun, left power and Tao in the South Slow Cave. "
Han Zhongli is an old fairy among the legendary Eight Immortals, and has a great influence on Taoist beliefs. According to Taoist classics, he is a legend.
Legend has it that when his mother gave birth to him, a giant suddenly came to his family, and he was born soon. When he was born, he looked like a three-year-old child, and on the seventh day he suddenly spoke. When I grow up, I am handsome and handsome, and I hold a high position in * * *. Soon, there was a war in the country, and he was ordered to take part in it. Because he was framed, the whole army was wiped out. Later, he met a fairy and became a fairy.
There are such figures in history. He was born in the Tang Dynasty (68 1-907) and also wrote some poems handed down from generation to generation. In the records, he was a Taoist priest, with a bohemian behavior, a love of drinking and disheveled clothes. The Song Dynasty (960- 1279) was written into the official history. Therefore, Taoism raised his status very high, and Quanzhen, an important faction of Taoism, regarded him as the founder.
