Laozi is from Guoyang, Anhui. Look at the reliable literature, which can be circumstantial:
Official statement:
The Legend of Laozi in Guoyang, Anhui Province in p>215 is the fourth batch of national intangible cultural heritage list
Historical Records and Biography of Laozi Han Fei: "Laozi is also from Qurenli, Lixiang, Chuku County." . Today, Guoyang County in Anhui Province belongs to the territory of Chu State in Laozi's time. Luyi and Boxian belong to the State of Chen. Guoyang, formerly called Zhenyuan, Guyang and Kuxian, has always been a county tied with Luyi.
1. Zhenyuan and Luyi are two parallel counties, which are different places. Look at the history of the Song Dynasty: Biography of the Song Dynasty IV Imperial Clan II: "Yuan Yi is physically ill, and he is fortunate to be the real source, but he has been ill at that time, so he begged his followers. When Luyi was very ill, Shouyu returned first. When the car is driven, ask for four. (Note: Zhao Yuanzhuo was the seventh son of Song Dynasty in Taizong, and the emperor was in Zhenyuan. Yuan Zhuo also wanted to go, but he only went to Luyi and was seriously ill, so he had to go back first. ）?
2. Guyang and Luyi are juxtaposed, not the same place. Luyi's geography of the old Tang Dynasty: Bozhou, Wangxian and Suiqiao counties. Lingqiao, Chengfu, Guyang, Luyi and Zan counties. Zhenyuan, Hanku County, Sui was Guyang, the first year of Ganfeng was changed to Zhenyuan, the first year of Zaichu was changed to Xianyuan, and the first year of Shenlong was restored to Zhenyuan, with Laozi Temple. ?
3. Zhenyuan and Luyi are juxtaposed, not the same place. Book of the New Tang Dynasty, Records, Volume 28, Geography II: Luyi, on. In the thirteenth year of the great cause, the county Mintian Black Society stole the evidence, and it was called Vortex State. In the past three years, Wude has returned to the county. ? True source, hope. Benguyang was even more famous in the first year of Ganfeng. In the first year of Dai Chu, it was called the immortal source, and in the first year of Shenlong, it was called the true source. There is Laozi Temple, and Tianbao is called Taiqing Palace for two years.
4. In 215, The Legend of Laozi in Guoyang, Anhui Province was the fourth batch of national intangible cultural heritage list, with Lingbao, but nothing happened in Luyi, Henan Province. In 221, Guoyang Hu Zhi was the representative inheritor of the fifth batch of national intangible cultural heritage representative project "Legend of Laozi". As a consolation, Henan Luyi Laozi Festival 221 is a list of the fifth batch of national intangible cultural heritage representative projects. Please note that the key words are only festivals.
5. Ancient poems can't be faked. Wen Tingyun's laojunmiao: the purple air holds half a rock, and the lotus peak fairy palm is * * * beautiful. In front of the temple, the night is cold and cold, and the setting sun in the sky takes the far sail and 12 Guan Mountain to support the jade seat. The geographical feature of "where the vortex water is in the sun" is consistent with the geographical feature of Laozi Temple in Guoyang. There is a river in front of the building, which is also very geomantic. The word in front of the temple also proves everything: Luyi built laojunmiao on the south bank of the vortex-how terrible it is without culture. Professor Chen Qiaoyi, director of the Research Center of Historical Geography of Hangzhou University, and the authority on the study of Shui Jing Zhu in China, and five professors including Qian Linshu from the Institute of Historical Geography of Fudan University visited Henan and Anhui successively, and they agreed that the course of the Guo River was a natural one and never changed its course. Therefore, it is impossible for Laozi's birthplace to change from the north bank of the Wohe River to the south bank of the Wohe River.
6. Xue Daoheng's ode to the old gentleman's hall: the old lane in Laixiang, the ruins of Wochuan. Throughout the ages, times have changed. Lingmiao withered, and the altar was empty. Jiujing Shengci, double monument gravel. . Kowloon Well Ring is listed in Meteor Garden, which is the birthplace of Laozi and the Waquan Well in the Spring and Autumn Period. The picture below shows the stone tablet of the ancient meteor garden.
7, the country has long been qualitative. In 1992, in a document "Reply of Agreeing to Guoyang County to Accept Donations from Outside the Mainland", National Cultural Heritage Administration "agreed to Guoyang County to accept donations from Taiwan compatriot Ma Bingwen to the Preparatory Committee for Rebuilding Laozi's Taiqing Palace outside the Mainland for the maintenance and restoration of ancient buildings such as the Taiqing Palace in Laozi's hometown in this county".
8. Ma Bingwen, a well-known professor at Taipei Daoist College, has led many field trips to Guoyang County by Tan Zhaochang, a rich man from Hong Kong, as well as people from Singapore, Malaysia and other places, and decided that Laozi was born in Guoyang, where Taiqing Palace is located. There are only three Luyi and eleven Guoyang related to Laozi. Preliminary information:
A: Luyi County includes:
1. Laojuntai; Second, the West Taiqing Palace (72 mu of Miaotian); 3. Monument to the Virgin Mary; Confucius asked about the ceremony.
b: Guoyang county (note: Guoyang county is a new county. A hundred years ago, most of them were zoned from Hao County. )
first, worry-free; Second, the Central Taiqing Palace; (The county records indicate that there are 3, mu of temple fields, and there were more than 2, Taoist priests. Third, the old gentleman's alchemy place fourth, Kowloon Well (after the old gentleman was born, Kowloon gushed out of the ground and spit water for his bath); 5. Bailin (the cemetery of the Virgin Mary's family); 6. Yin Xi's Tomb: 7. Recently unearthed ancient monuments: 8. There are still two elderly Taoist priests dictating the genealogy of hundreds of generations in Zhongtaiqing Palace, saying that it has been passed down since ancient times-Laojun was born in Wuyouwei (next to Zhongtaiqing Palace); Nine, East Taiqing Palace; Ten, Confucius asked the ceremony; Eleven, Wujiahe (Gugushui).
