Uncovering Mount Tai in Song Zhenzong for Zen Buddhism: How does Song Zhenzong direct and perform for Zen Buddhism?

One day, Song Zhenzong called a meeting of officials, big and small, and said, "Last year 1 1 27, a strange thing happened in my family. In the middle of the night, I was about to go to bed when suddenly a headlight came on in my bedroom. A fairy brother in a purple robe appeared in the flame. Ya told me to build the ecliptic Dojo in the main hall quickly. In January next year, there will be three gobbledygook books, large and medium-sized auspicious symbols. Remember, remember, secrets cannot be revealed. By the time I got up, the immortal brother had disappeared. I immediately ordered the construction of the main hall Dojo, and it has been more than a month now. This morning, the Imperial City Department posted that a yellow package was found in the south corner of Chengtianmen Building. I thought, is this what the immortal brother said?

It seems that this Song Zhenzong is very talented in acting, and a fake thing is said to be true by him.

Minister Wang Dan and Wang Qinruo exchanged glances and got the message immediately. Song Zhenzong lit a fire, and the next step is to add fuel to the fire and get things done.

The two men knelt down and said, yes, it's a sealed book. Your majesty, your benevolence and filial piety are well known to heaven, so I have sent down a heavenly book to commend you. This is the honor of our subjects, and it is also a great event of my DaSong.

These words echo each other, and the rest of the civil and military officials can only follow suit.

Song Zhenzong and his ministers came to Chengtianmen, so he saw a yellow package hanging in the south corner of Chengtianmen. Song Zhenzong first led his ministers to bow down to the gobbledygook, and then told his inner generation to carefully remove the package, in which lay a gobbledygook. Song Zhenzong asked the minister to read the book "Popular Auspicious Symbol" in public. Inner cloud said: Zhao was ordered to prosper the country in Song Dynasty; Stay in the right place; World 700, 99 decided ...

The sentence with the highest gold content in it is: The Song Dynasty will be handed down for 700 years. It was a.d. 1008. If this god's wish comes true, Kangxi Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty will have no place to make a living.

With gobbledygook, Song Zhenzong can't go to Mount Tai to meditate rashly-what kind of melon method is that? Someone has to lead the way. Just like Yuan Shikai wants to be an emperor, he can't be ashamed to recommend himself. Someone must persuade him to join.

Song Zhenzong sent someone to report the gobbledygook incident to the people of the whole country. A few months later, all the people in the Song Dynasty knew about it. Lvliang, Yanzhou, Shandong, etc. 1287 people jointly wrote to the emperor, asking him to worship Mount Tai. Song Zhenzong was very happy in his heart, but on the surface, he still wanted to maintain the traditional virtue of modesty of the Chinese nation, saying: monarchs in past dynasties dared not do such an important thing as Guan Chan. Your loyalty is commendable, but this matter will be discussed later.

For the second time, more than 840 scholars from other roads in Shandong wrote a letter to the emperor, asking him to worship Mount Tai.

For the third time, Prime Minister Wang Dan led hundreds of civil and military officials, local officials from all walks of life, monks and Taoist priests, fortune tellers, etc., totaling more than 24,000 people, posting to the emperor with great fanfare. There is only one theme, asking the emperor to accept Zen.

Wang Dan wrote five posts, which Song Zhenzong reluctantly accepted, with additional conditions:

1. To hold a grand and frugal meditation ceremony, all units should prepare in advance;

2. All units related to Zen Buddhism shall not disturb the people in the form of Zen Buddhism;

3, the relevant departments shall not take the opportunity to build, engage in image engineering.

On June+10 of this year, Song Zhenzong and his party set out from Kaifeng for 17 days and trudged to Taishan, where they held a solemn amenorrhea ceremony. After the closing ceremony, a group of people returned to Kaifeng for 47 days. In this activity, Song Zhenzong named Mount Tai as the King of Heaven and Man (later changed to the Emperor of Heaven and Man), and named the Goddess of Mount Tai as the fairy and jade girl Bi Xia Yuan Jun. At that time, there was no CCTV live broadcast, and no one made this once-in-a-century grand occasion into a VCD and handed it down. However, with the records in historical books and folklore, we can still get a general understanding of those grand and mighty scenes. That guy's scene is quite spectacular. That's true: gongs and drums are loud, firecrackers are ringing, red flags are flying, and people are crowded ... It should be as wonderful as the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.

Song Zhenzong's activities completed the last Buddhist ceremony in the history of China, which was also the most controversial one.

Why?

Quite simply, Song Zhenzong is not qualified. Because according to traditional rules, not all emperors are qualified to worship Zen. Three other conditions must also be met.

First, change the dynasty and unify the whole country;

Second, the emperor must have political achievements in office. For example, we must make the country rich and strong, the people are safe, and the country is rich and strong, so that everyone will be convinced.

Third, there must be auspicious signs. Is to have a mascot.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, Qi Huangong was a vassal of the Nine Rivers that conquered the world. He wanted to go to Mount Tai to worship, but Guan Zhong strongly opposed it, saying that he was not qualified.

Qi Huangong said unhappily, I have conquered the world with nine princes. Isn't such a great achievement enough?

Guan Zhong said: No, you lack good luck.

Guan Zhong gave Qi Huangong several mascots, including the flounder in the East China Sea and the wing bird in the West Sea, but they couldn't get them at that time, so they had to give up.

Do you think Song Zhenzong is qualified to do Mount Tai meditation?
