One of the Folklores —— The Origin of Zhang Tianshi

Zhang Ling, founder of Wudou Midao, and his descendants. At the end of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Ling founded a religion, claiming that the old gentleman on the throne was appointed as Shi Tian, so he was called Zhang Tianshi in the world, and his religion was also called Shi Tiandao. There are twenty-four treatments (namely, parish), in which Yangping is the first of all treatments, which is similar to the central parish, and the system of "Yangping is the seal of merit", together with "Sanwu Sword" and Buddhist scriptures, serves as a symbol of Shi Tian's palm-teaching authority, and stipulates that "the position of less martial arts shall not be passed on to our descendants". Lingchuan Jpua, named Heir; Hengchuan Zilu is called a teacher. According to legend, the fourth generation of Sun moved from Hanzhong (now Shaanxi) to Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi. It has been handed down from generation to generation, and the descendants are all called Shi Tian, while the honorific Zhang Ling is the first generation of Shi Tian. Shi Tian originated from Kublai Khan in Yuan Dynasty, and was officially recognized as "Shi Tian". In the article "Zhi", it is called "Shi Tian of Hanzhong in the 36th generation". Previously, the title of Shi Tian has been called by Zhang Daoling's descendants, and it has never been officially recognized. From then on, Zhang Tianshi began to take charge of Taoism in the south of the Yangtze River. By the middle and late Yuan Dynasty, various Taoist sects gathered in Fu You, forming a united front. Zhang Enpu, the founder of the sixty-third generation Shi Tian of Heihan, led his eldest son Yunxian and his entourage Qiu Jianzhong to leave Shitianfu, Heihan, Shangqing Township and passed through Shaoguan, Guangdong Province. At this time, he took in Gong Hangjian (whose real name is Gan Sheng, Gong Qun's uncle) who fled from Ji 'an, Jiangxi, and then passed through Guangzhou, Macao and Hong Kong, and applied for permission to settle in Jiao Hong in the following spring. Yunxian, the eldest son of Zhang Enpu, the sixty-third generation of Shi Tian, died on 1943, and the sixty-third generation of Shi Tian appeared on 19581February 25th, so it was the sixty-fourth generation of Shi Tian. Zhang Tianshi was born in Han nationality, whose real name is Fu Han and Pei Guofeng (ancestral home in Fengxian County, Jiangsu Province). Born in Panzhong Village (now Feilou Village, Songlou Town, Fengxian County, Jiangsu Province) on the 15th day of the first month of the tenth year of Jianwu in the Eastern Han Dynasty. He is the eighth grandson of Sean, also known as Zhang Ling in history books. At the age of seven, he could recite the Tao Te Ching and reach its essence. When he grows up, he is tall and strong. In ancient books, his image is described as: Pang Mei's forehead, Zhu Ding's green eyes, triangular eyes, nose on the floor, hands hanging on his knees, which makes people respect! His natural disposition is studious, and his astronomy and geography, as well as the latitude and longitude of Heluotu, are extremely wonderful. A hundred schools of thought contend, three tombs and five codes, and their views are distinct. . First, he was a great scholar who traveled to and from wuyue, and there were more than 1,000 scholars from him. There are myths and legends such as Zhang Laohan's skillful occupation of Tianmen point and Fengxian medicine chest in Jiangsu Province. Zhang Daoling's father, Zhang Gang, is a farmer selling sesame oil in the countryside. A local landlord invited a Feng Shui gentleman to look after his ancestors' graves, and Mr Feng Shui chose an excellent yin point for him, saying: This is Tianmen Cave, and if you bury it, you will be fascinated, and your children and grandchildren will be endless. One day, Zhang Laohan came back from selling oil, which coincided with the funeral of the big landlord burying his ancestors. When he passed the dug grave, suddenly the wind blew hard and it rained heavily, and he accidentally fell into the dug grave. The heavy rain washed the soil into the grave and buried it. The heavy rain lasted for several days. After the weather cleared up, due to the flood, the big landlord buried his ancestors but couldn't find a grave, so he had to choose another auspicious place to bury them. In the northeast of Feilou Village in Songlou Town, the tomb base of Zhang Ling's grandfather Zhang Gang still exists, which is higher than the surrounding ground. According to the local people, although it was a year of drought, it was wet and was regarded as a treasure trove of feng shui. In the northwest corner of Zhang Ling's former residence is the Tianheguan site in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. A Tianhe Nianyu was unearthed in this site, which was smashed during the Cultural Revolution. According to the county records of the Ming Dynasty, there were eight famous Taoist temples in Fengxian history, and Tianhe Temple was one of the earliest Taoist temples. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, it was the Taoist temple of Tianshifu, which was highly valued and protected by the royal families in previous dynasties. It was an activity Dojo for Taoist priests to worship their ancestors and give lectures, and the Yuan Dynasty stagnated in the Yellow River. With Tianhe Temple as the center, there are many temples and Taoist temples around. According to the investigation and statistics of Xuzhou Cultural Relics Department, there are more than 30 temples in Fiona Fang, Fiona Fang, which are rare in scale and density. In the second year, Zhang Tianshi Yongping went to "tell the truth and advise others" and won. Emperor Hanming retired to Beimang Mountain (near Luoyang, Henan Province) soon after worshipping Jiangzhou in Ba County (now Chongqing, Sichuan Province), and practiced the way of refining shape and gas, avoiding the valley and sleeping less, so as to live forever. Five years before the founding of the People's Republic of China, he was unable to raise a virtuous man, was re-employed as a doctor, and was named Hou of Jixian County, but three letters were not enough. Later, he entered the State of Wu. He liked the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers in Shu, so he went to Shu and hid in He Mingshan to practice magic. Zhang Daoling has disciples Wang Chang and Zhao Sheng, who studied the way of Huang Lao with them, helped to refine and rejuvenate the dragon and tiger, and traveled to Yuan Xian. One day, he met an embroiderer in Songshan Mountain, Beiyue, and told him, "There are Huang San's secret words and Huangdi Jiuding Dan Shu in the stone house of Zhongfeng. If you can fix them, you can ascend to heaven! " So Zhang Daoling stopped fighting and went into the stone room. Sure enough, he got the collection of Dan Scripture, so he went to Yunjin Mountain (Dragon and Tiger Mountain) to meditate and practice, and got the merit of taking pictures.
