The poem says: Chaos is undivided, heaven and earth are chaotic, vast and vast, no one can see it. Since Pangu broke through the Hongmeng, it has opened up to distinguish between the clear and the turbid.
Encourage all sentient beings to look up to the Supreme Benevolence and discover that all things are good. If you want to know the original power of creation, you must read the Stone Monkey's Record of Seeking the Way.
It is said that in the past, when the two rites were not separated, there was silence and Hongmeng, which had not yet taken shape. The sky, the earth, the sun and the moon did not exist, and they were like chickens, chaotic and black and yellow.
I don’t know how many years passed, but a god-man named Pangu emerged from the chaos. When Pangu first opened his eyes, he saw that the surroundings were dim and dim, so he pulled out his teeth and turned them into a divine axe, splitting the chaos and creating a piece of land.
world.
When the heaven and the earth were established, light and pure things floated above to form the sky; heavy and turbid things sank to form the earth. In the beginning, the heaven and earth were changing, floating and sinking. Pangu was worried about the coincidence of the heaven and the earth, so he stood in it and stepped on the earth.
Hold the sky with your hands and prevent the heaven and the earth from overlapping.
The sky is getting higher every day, the earth is getting thicker every day, and Pangu is also getting higher.
Another eighteen thousand years passed like this, and the sky became extremely high and the earth became extremely thick, making it impossible for them to overlap.
Pangu let go of his hand, and he fell down. Because his body was exhausted, he never got up again.
After Pangu died, his limbs turned into four poles of heaven, his five bodies turned into mountains, his blood turned into rivers, his veins turned into geography, his muscles turned into soil, his mustache turned into stars, his fur turned into vegetation, and his teeth turned into gold and stone.
The essence turns into pearls and jade, the sweat turns into rain, the breath turns into wind and clouds, the voice turns into thunder, the left eye turns into the sun, and the left eye turns into the moon.
From then on, there was life in the heaven and earth, exuding vitality and no longer being dead.
After another hundred and eight thousand years, the spiritual things in all things were born after sensing the energy of heaven and earth. They were the ancient gods. They were called Nuwa, Gonggong, Zhurong, Xiangliu, Mengzhang, and Zhulong."
After reading the beginning, some people must know what Gongliang is writing about?
That's right, it's Journey to the West.
But he is not copying it. The previous one is integrated into the ancient Chinese myths of the previous life: Pangu opened the sky, and Nuwa created the man and Nuwa repaired the sky. The origin of the heaven, earth, and human race is clearly and transparently explained.
"
Another 18,000 years later, Gonggong and Zhurong fought for the throne, and their anger touched the mountains of Buzhou. The pillars of heaven were broken, and the four poles were destroyed. The sky tilted to the northwest, and the sun, moon and stars were in place there; the earth sank to the southeast, and hundreds of rivers filled with water.
Gathering. The human race suffered from the water and fled to the mountains. Wild beasts and ferocious birds took the opportunity to eat them.
Nuwa couldn't bear the suffering of the human race, so she refined five-color stones to mend the sky, cut off Ao's feet and re-established the four poles.
Later generations divided the world by four poles, which were called Dongshengshenzhou, Xiniuhezhou, Nanbuzhou, and Beijuluzhou.
There is a country outside Dongsheng Shenzhou, called Aolai Country. The country is close to the sea, and there is a famous mountain in the sea, called Huaguo Mountain.
This mountain is the ancestral line of the Ten Continents. The Dragon from the Three Islands was established from the clear and turbid, and was formed after the Hongmeng judged it.
······
On the top of that mountain, there is a fairy stone, which was left by Nuwa to refine the stone to mend the sky.
The stone is three feet, six feet and five inches high, and has a circle of two feet and four feet. It is three feet, six feet and five inches high, according to the three hundred and sixty-five degrees of the Zhou Dynasty. It has a circle of two feet and four feet, according to the twenty-four qi of the political calendar.
There are nine orifices and eight holes on it, according to the nine palaces and eight trigrams. There are no trees on the four sides to provide shade, but there are orchids on the left and right.
Since Gai's creation, every time he has been exposed to the beauty of the innocent earth and the beauty of the sun and the moon, he has been feeling it for a long time, so he has a spiritual sense. It breeds fairy cells. One day, it bursts and lays a stone egg, as big as a ball. When it sees the wind, it turns into a celestial being.
He turned into a stone monkey, with all five senses and four limbs. Then he learned to crawl and walk, and worshiped in all directions. Two golden lights shot into Doufu with his eyes."
When you get here, and then cross the sea to seek the Tao, you will find the content in Journey to the West. Gongliang doesn't need to use his brain to copy it all.
But later on, there was no way to copy it, so he cut off the beginning and the end, changed the face, and integrated it into the Legend of Wukong, as well as the original legend of the Lord of Heaven and Earth and the Primordial Divine Ape in this world, and the title of his book was not called Journey to the West.
It's the Stone Monkey's Record of Seeking the Way.
The reason for this name is that there is no Buddhism in this world, or Buddhism has not been born yet.
As we all know, Buddhism was founded by Gautama Siddhartha, the prince of Kapilavastu who was controlled by the Sakyamuni tribe in ancient Nepal and was revered as Sakyamuni.
There are a large number of ancient Indian Brahman inheritances in Buddhism, but the Brahmans believe in a caste system, just like the aristocratic class in ancient China. Royal nobles, children of aristocratic families are higher and higher, while the poor and poor are extremely humble. It’s just that the poor and poor in ancient China
There are also opportunities to make one's identity noble through various channels. But in the Brahmin caste system, once you have a base name, you, your family, and even your descendants will be an inferior base forever.
As the saying goes, "Where there is oppression, there is resistance." Therefore, there is the idea of equality of all living beings that is opposite to Brahmanism.
The era that Sakyamuni lived in was the period when the Sixteen Kingdoms were fighting for hegemony. If you think about the Warring States and Three Kingdoms in ancient China, you can imagine the tragic scenes.
The Kapilavastu state controlled by the Sakya clan belongs to the Kosala state. Because it is weak, it is often threatened by aggression from powerful neighbors, and its position is very fragile.
Sakyamuni lost his mother when he was young, so he had a strong introspective tendency and keen sensibility when he was young. As a prince of a declining tribe, facing the bleak prospects of his country and seeing through all the things in the world, he decided to become a monk and become a monk.
Begging for alms, he traveled south to the Kingdom of Magadha, the center of new culture in ancient India. Here he visited famous teachers and learned a lot of knowledge. Finally, he integrated it, understood the true way, and developed an ideological doctrine belonging to the Buddha.
Buddhism, like Taoism, was established by later generations of believers.
If you do research, you will find that there are many shadows of Brahmanism in ancient Buddhism.
But modern Buddhism is a little different. Especially in Chinese Zen Buddhism, it can be said that there is little trace of Brahmanism. It should be said that Zen Buddhism is a doctrine that was re-created by integrating Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism.
It is generally believed that Vedicism is the predecessor of Brahmanism.
Nowadays, there is ancient Vedicism in the Western Region of this world, but everything in this world seems different from Gongliang's previous life. He doesn't know whether Buddhism will appear in the end.
But even if there is no Buddhism, other sects should appear. As long as anything is oppressed to the extreme, there will be a rebound, without exception.
This is the case with many peasant uprisings recorded in Gongliang's previous history.
Of course these are digressions.
After Gongliang finished writing one chapter, he started writing again. The first chapter of Stone Monkey Seeking Taoism excludes the mythological chapters such as Pangu's creation of the sky, but the latter part is actually exactly the same as Journey to the West. He only had to copy it. It was very smooth and he wrote it very quickly.
But later on, when the Stone Monkey ascended to the throne and was called the "Monkey King", he suddenly worried about life and death and wanted to go out to seek Taoism and learn the method of immortality, things began to change.
Things in the world are difficult, and learning the Tao is the same. Things that are too easy to obtain are often not cherished.
Therefore, Gongliang sets up various obstacles in its way of seeking the Tao.
For example, when crossing the sea, there were winds and rains, and sea beasts attacked. After crossing the sea with a narrow escape, he first entered the human world and was almost lost in the prosperity. Shang Hao had a firm heart and moved forward wholeheartedly. Finally, he arrived at Sancun Mountain and worshiped a famous teacher.
At this point, except for adding more demons and monsters in the middle to create some difficulties and dangers for the stone monkey to seek truth, the other content is similar to Journey to the West, so Gong Liang wrote it very quickly, and he wrote a lot in only half a day.
When Migu saw Daddy not going out to play, but lying on the table writing those annoying things, he flew over curiously and asked: "Daddy, what are you writing!"
The most annoying thing for this little thing is writing. If Gongliang hadn't forced her to do so, she probably wouldn't know Chinese characters now.
When Gongliang heard her words, he put down his pen, stretched and said, "Dad is writing a story."
Mi Gu suddenly became interested, got into Daddy's arms, blinked her big eyes, and asked innocently: "Daddy, what story are you writing? Do you have any good stories? Xiao Ling'er, Xiao Zhi'er, Xiao
Dai, Xiaoji, Xiaoxiangxiang, they all really like listening to my stories!”
Gongliang rolled his eyes and thought to himself: Comparing what I wrote with the story you told makes me look so incompetent.
Looking down and seeing the expectant look on the little guy's face, Gongliang stopped writing and said, "Dad is writing a story about a monkey. It is said that in ancient times, the world was still in chaos, with no sun, moon, stars, and no existence.
Mountains and rivers”
Gongliang told the little guy about what he had written, but the ordinary simplified version was not as complicated as what was written in the book.
Yuan Gungun was sleeping on the ground, but after listening to it for a while, he immediately ran over to it and started listening.
Xiao Xiangxiang also stuck her head out from between its hair and listened carefully.
Little Mi Gu lay in Daddy's warm embrace, motionless, with his big eyes open, listening very seriously. 8)
