Life, painstaking practice, early accession to the WTO, wandering around the world, retiring in his later years, character thoughts, character achievements, anecdotes and allusions, Zuo Ci's cup-breaking, many interviews, historical records, historical reviews, film and television images, Zuo Ci, a famous alchemist in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, lived in Tianzhu Mountain and studied alchemy art. The Book of the Later Han Dynasty says that he seldom has Shinto. Ge Hong's Bao Puzi Jin Zidan shows that Zuo Ci is Ge Xuan's teacher. There are three volumes of Tai Ming Jing, one volume of Jiuding Single Crystal, and one volume of Jinye Single Crystal. Cao Zhi said that he was good in nature in On Tao. According to relevant historical records, after 60 or 70 years of practice, he became an immortal after his death. Ge Hong's Biography of Immortals also says that he can serve ghosts and gods (know heavenly stems and earthly branches), and he can change and avoid valleys. Zuo Ci, a native of Lujiang County, joined the WTO in Zuo Ci in his early years. He was amazing when he was young. He once attended Cao Cao's banquet. Cao Cao smiled and looked around the guests and said, "Today's VIP party is almost over. What is missing is the fish scraps made by Songjiang bass in Wu State. " Zuo Ci said, "Easy to get." So he asked for a copper coin and filled it with water. Fishing in a plate with bait on a bamboo pole. After a while, a bass was caught. Cao Cao applauded warmly, and everyone present was surprised. Cao Cao said, "A fish can't be eaten by all the guests at the party. It is best to have two. " Zuo Ci baited and fished. After a while, he fished out another one, which was as long as the previous one and more than three feet long. It was very fresh. Cao Cao personally stepped forward, made minced fish and distributed it to everyone at the banquet. Cao Cao said: "Now we have perch, but unfortunately there is no ginger from Shu as seasoning." Zuo Ci said, "Yi Ye." Cao Cao was afraid that he would buy it nearby, so he said, "I once sent someone to Shu to buy brocade. You can ask someone to tell my designated person to buy two more (four feet is one). " Zuo Ci went, came back soon, got ginger, and said to Cao Cao, "I saw the man you sent in the brocade shop, and I have ordered him to buy more." Later, after more than a year, the person designated by Cao Cao came back and bought more tapestries. Cao Cao asked him, and he said, "I met a man in the shop one day last month, and he conveyed your order to me." Zuo Ci visited the suburbs like Cao Cao: there were more than 100 scholars and officials accompanying him. Zuo Ci sent a bottle of wine. A piece of dry meat, pour the bottle in person and propose a toast to every official. All the officials are not hungry or drunk. Cao Cao felt strange and sent someone to trace the reason. I visited the liquor store and found that all their wine and dried meat were lost yesterday. Cao Cao was furious and plotted against Zuo Ci. On one occasion, Zuo Ci was at Cao Cao's banquet, and Cao Cao was about to catch him, but he retreated into the wall and suddenly disappeared. Cao Cao offered a reward for finding him. Someone saw him in the market, and when he was about to arrest him, all the people in the market were just like Zuo Ci. I don't know which is Zuo Ci. Later, someone met Zuo Ci at the top of Yangcheng Mountain in Henan Province. They chased him again, and he escaped into the flock. Knowing that Zuo Ci couldn't be caught, Cao Cao ordered his department to go down to pasture the sheep and told Zuo Ci, "Tsao Gong won't kill you again. It turned out that he was just trying your magic. Now that I have verified it, I just want to see you. " Suddenly, an old sheep, with both knees on its front legs, stood like a human and said, "Why all the fuss!" " "People immediately said," This sheep is Zuo Ci. "They rushed to catch it, but all the hundreds of sheep turned into rams. They all bent their knees with their front legs and stood like people and said," Why are you in such a hurry! " "So people don't know which sheep to catch. Laozi said, "I have great misfortune because I have a body." What harm will losing my body do to me? "People like Lao tze, can be said to be regardless of the body, but compared with Zuo Ci, isn't it too far? Wandering around, some people say that they have seen Zuo Ci in Jingzhou. At that time, Liu Biao, who was the secretariat of Jingzhou, also thought that Zuo Ci was a demagogic and diabolical way, and planned to catch him and kill him. Liu Biao came out to show off his military forces. Zuo Ci knew that Liu Biao wanted to see what magic he had, so he slowly walked up to Liu Biao and said, "I have some meager gifts to reward your army." Liu Biao said, "You are a Taoist priest and I have so many people. Can you treat me? " Zuo Ci said again that Liu Biao sent someone to see what the gift was. He only saw a barrel of wine and a stick of dried meat, and ten people didn't lift it. Zuo Ci brought his own dried meat, chopped it piece by piece on the ground, and asked one hundred people to distribute the wine and dried meat to the soldiers. Each soldier has three glasses of wine and a piece of dried meat. Dried meat tastes as usual. More than 10,000 soldiers had enough to eat and drink, but there was no less wine in the wine container and dried meat was not finished. Liu Biao's more than 1000 guests are also drunk. Liu Biao was surprised and dismissed the idea of killing Zuo Ci. Three Kingdoms 1 1 Portrait of Zuo Ci's retirement in his later years. Sun Ce killed Taoist Yu Ji, Zuo Ci visited Sun Ce, and Sun Ce also wanted to kill Zuo Ci. Sun Ce tried to stab him in the back. Zuo Ci walked slowly with a bamboo pole in his clogs, and Sun Ce ran after him with a weapon, never catching up. He didn't know that Zuo Ci had magical powers and didn't dare to kill him again. Later, Zuo Ci told Ge that he would go to Huoshan to refine Dan for nine times. Later, he was finally taken away by the crane. The gods of Zuo Ci, Ge Xuan and Zheng Yinzun are not directly available. However, they are all so, so we might as well infer indirectly that their main worship may be Yuan Jun and Laozi. Because at that time, the mythical god was sent, according to "Bao Puzi's inner chapter?" "So, it should be, also known as Taiyi, a' teacher of Lao Tzu' and' all the immortals in the world are from Yan'. If they study Huang San School at the same time (Huang Sanxue School in Andrew has the strongest color), then their main worship may also be Huang Sanjun, a man of heaven and earth. Because the highest deity in the myth of Huang San School, according to the Huang San classic quoted in the sixth volume of the Supreme Secret Sutra, should be Huang San, a heaven and earth person transformed from the "great ancestor spirit", also known as Tianbaojun, Shenbaojun and Lingbaojun. Ge Hong, as an important figure in that school at that time, also respected Yuan Jun and Lao Zi, but he did not regard Yuan Jun as the supreme god. Looking at the inside and outside of Bao Puzi, although it is a comprehensive study of various philosophers, the basic tendency is Confucianism. Teacher Tang pointed out that Ge Hong's scholarship is a combination of divination, etiquette and calendar. It is a characteristic of Dong Zhongshu's scholarship since the Han Dynasty, and it is also a characteristic of Confucian scholars in the south of the Yangtze River who turned to He Xun and even Ge Hong's own scholarship. Therefore, we have every reason to say that Ge Hong is a legacy of the Han Dynasty. Ge Hong advocated both Confucianism and Taoism in Bao Puzi's Inner Chapter, saying that "Taoism is the essence of Confucianism", but he wanted to consolidate the essence instead of leaving it behind. "Bao Puzi's Inner Chapter" is about the division of labor between Confucianism and Taoism: the teaching of pitching, the skill of attacking and defending, the festival of emphasizing righteousness, joys and sorrows, the strategy of saving the world, and the task of Confucianism. Foreign things abandon wisdom, wash away machine changes, forget the rich and ease the expensive, Du Fu dissuades people from falling when they are down, does not pity the poor and help the poor, does not honor work, does not care about destruction, and is dissatisfied with reputation, which is a Taoist cause. Confucianism worships and prays for blessings, while Taoism cultivates righteousness and suppresses evil. (Ming edition) He classified the religious activities of "offering sacrifices and praying for blessings" as the responsibility of "Confucian", that is to say, in the sense of "Shinto teaching", Ge Hong is an unambiguous Confucian middleman. Therefore, I still think: "Ge Hong is neither a member of a Taoist organization nor a sympathizer of Taoist thoughts", "Later Taoists cited Ge Hong as a fellow philosopher, and only relied on Ge Hong's erudition and ability to strengthen the momentum of this teaching". 9 Ge Hong called Andrew "a great Confucian, a late Taoist, and endlessly taught by The Book of Rites" ("A glimpse of Bao Puzi's inner chapter"). It seems that in Ge Hong's eyes, master Andrew, like himself, is a Confucian middleman who practices Confucianism and Taoism. I still believe that Ge Hong's "original ambition was to help the world with virtue, but only because of the unfavorable situation did he have to settle for the second best and become independent." 10 So Bao Puzi didn't talk about another god system and another supreme god different from the Confucian god system. If there is a supreme god in his mind, I'm afraid it should be the "heaven" between personality and impersonality in Confucianism, and its personification symbol is the "heaven emperor" who only the emperor has the right to sacrifice. As for Ge, what he worships should be the new god constructed by the New Ling Bao Jing. The Five Classics of Lingbao, which he constructed, was originally unknown, and it was roughly the same as the Taoist scriptures of Tibetan points. This was awarded to the old gentleman on the Grand Master under the guise of the Yuan God, in which the Lord God was the Five Elders and their superior God "Yuan Shi". Visible, Zuo Ci, Ge Xuan, Andrew, Ge Hong, Ge and others are not "* * * believe in a particular god". Characters let Zuo Ci play the vassal, famous for his magic, and accept Ge Xuan as his apprentice. Anecdotal allusions: Zuo Ci broke the cup and Zuo Ci was proficient in the Five Classics and astrology. From the astrology, he predicted that the luck of the Han Dynasty would be exhausted, the national luck would decline and the world would be in chaos. He sighed: "In this troubled times, it is more difficult for people in high positions to protect themselves, and rich people are more likely to die. Therefore, the prosperity of the world must not be coveted! " So Zuo Ci began to study Taoism, and he was also very proficient in Taoism. He can drive ghosts and gods to sit down and make delicious food. Zuo Ci studied monasticism in Tianzhu Mountain, and got a copy of Nine Pills Medicine in the Golden Chamber in a cave (Dunjia Tianshu in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms). He learned to change his magic, divination and spells, and he can't remember many things. Cao Cao, the original painting of the board game "Kill the Three Kingdoms" in Zuo Ci, heard about it, so he called Zuo Ci, locked him in a stone house, sent someone to watch him, and refused to give him food for a year. It took a year to let him out, and he was still the same. Cao Cao thinks that there is no reason why people don't eat, and Zuo Ci doesn't eat for a year. This must be a cunning way to kill him. After Zuo Ci knew that Cao Cao wanted to kill Zuo Ci together, he asked Cao Cao to spare his life and let him go home. Cao Cao said, "Why are you in such a hurry? "Zuo Ci said," You want to kill me, so I beg you to let me go. " Cao Cao said, "Where? How can I kill you? ".Since you have lofty aspirations, I won't keep you. "Cao Cao hosted a farewell dinner for Zuo Ci, and Zuo Ci said," I want to travel far and have a drink with you. " Cao Cao agreed. It was very cold and the wine was soaked in the fire. Zuo Ci tore off the hair on his head and stirred the wine. Suddenly, hairpin is dissolved in wine, just like ink is dissolved in water when grinding ink. At first, when Cao Cao saw that Zuo Ci wanted a glass of wine, he thought that he would drink half a cup first, and then give the remaining half to Zuo Ci. Unexpectedly, Zuo Ci scratched his glass with a hairpin first, and the glass was divided into two halves, both of which were wine, a few inches apart. Zuo Ci drank half first and gave the other half to Cao Cao. Cao Cao was unhappy and didn't drink it right away. Zuo Ci asked Cao Cao to come over and drank it himself. After drinking, I threw the cup on the beam, and the cup dangled on the beam, like a bird falling and not falling before diving to the ground. The guests at the banquet looked up at the glass. After a long time, the glass fell, but Zuo Ci was gone. Upon inquiry, it was said that Zuo Ci had returned to his residence. Cao Cao wanted to kill Zuo Ci more, and wanted to see if Zuo Ci could escape death. Cao Cao ordered the arrest of Zuo Ci. Later, someone who knew Zuo Ci's whereabouts tipped him off. Cao Cao sent someone to catch it, and as soon as he caught it, he caught it. In fact, it's not that Zuo Ci can't escape, but that he wants Cao Cao to see his skill of changing array. So Zuo Ci tied up his captors and put them in prison. The warden intended to torture Zuo Ci, only to find that there was a Zuo Ci in the house and a Zuo Ci outside. I don't know which is the real Zuo Ci. Cao Cao was even more bitter when he knew it, and ordered Zuo Ci to be tied to the execution ground and put to death. Zuo Ci suddenly disappeared on the execution ground. So he ordered the city gate to be closed and searched. Some searchers said they didn't know Zuo Ci, so officials told Zuo Ci that he was blind in one eye and wore a blue turban, and they caught such a man when they saw him. In a short time, the whole city became blind with green cloth and towels, and no one could tell which was Zuo Ci. Cao Cao ordered to expand the scope of the search and kill as long as he was caught. Later, when someone saw Zuo Ci, they killed him and presented him to Cao Cao. Cao Cao was overjoyed. The body arrived. It turned out to be a bundle of thatch. Then they went to the place where Zuo Ci was killed to look for the body. The body was gone. Li Han, a writer in the Tang Dynasty, collected all kinds of allusions in ancient and modern times and compiled Qiu Meng, and specially included the allusions of "Zuo Ci broke the cup". I visited many Zuoci and went to Dongwu Dantu County. I heard that there was a Taoist priest named Duo in Dantu, so I went to visit him. There are six or seven guests in front of the Xu family, and six or seven ox carts are parked. The guest lied to Zuo Ci that Xu Duo was not at home. Zuo Ci knew that the guest had cheated him and left. After Zuo Ci left, the guests saw the ox cart walking on the top of the poplar, climbed up the tree and looked again, but it was gone. When I got off the tree, I saw the ox cart walking on the tree again. There is still a foot-long thorn in the round hole in the center of the wheel of the ox cart, which can't be pushed. The guests were surprised and hurried to report that an old man who was blind in one eye had visited. When we saw that he was an ordinary person, we lied to him that his master was away. This strange thing happened to the cow and the car after the old man left. I don't know what happened. Many Yi listened and said, "Oh, this is Zuo Ci's visit. How can you cheat him? Hurry up and chase it, maybe you can get it back. " So the guests scattered to chase, and after chasing Zuo Ci, they all kowtowed and apologized to him. Zuo Ci calmed down and asked the guests to go back. When they went back, the cows and cars were restored to their original state. Zuo Ci's original painting "Biographies of the Later Han Dynasty II" recorded in the historical records of the game "The True Three Kingdoms Warriors 4" recorded that "there are few Shinto." Cao Zhi's argument about Taoism records that he is good at house art, and The Biography of Gods in Ge Hong records that "he can subdue ghosts and gods (understand heavenly stems and earthly branches) and change into a broken valley. "Ge Hong's" Bao Puzi Jin Dan Pian "contains" Zuo Ci was the teacher of Ge Xuan, and he passed on three volumes of crystal list, one volume of Jiuding single crystal and one volume of gold leaf single crystal. In the historical evaluation of the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, Zuo Ci is widely used and neglected, and its thought is hard to ponder. Don't pry into the inner thoughts of those lofty people, probably because they can also perceive their inner thoughts. If you meet people who are frustrated in life, he can also make them understand the mystery and make their humanity perverse.
