How powerful is Guiguzi in history and how did it become the ancestor of Taoist priests?

When the game "the glory of the king" became popular, a new hero named "Guiguzi" was introduced. And its powerful and cool skill mechanism is also deeply loved by everyone, which makes people wonder whether the prototype "Guiguzi" in history is so powerful.

Guiguzi is a mysterious figure in the history of China. His surname is Wang, also known as Xuanweizi. He is a Chinese, a singer of Wei during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Because he lives in seclusion in Qingxi Guigu, Zhouyangcheng, he calls himself Mr. Guigu. Known as a strange man throughout the ages, he is good at health preservation, psychological thinking, hard and soft, and has a unique wisdom. He is the originator of strategists, and Su Qin and Zhang Yi are his two most outstanding disciples. In addition, Sun Bin and Pang Juan were also told by his disciples that he knew this well and was in charge of several schools of learning, which was unparalleled.

Xiao Yi, Emperor of the Liang Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties, described a legend: There is an island in the depths of the East China Sea called? State. There is a kind of grass on the island, which looks like a seedling and is called "Golden Vegetable and Jade Vegetable". When people die, put this grass on them and they will come back to life. During the Qin Shihuang period, many women died in the palace. A bird fell to the ground with this kind of grass in its mouth. Put it on the dead, and the dead will live immediately. Qin Shihuang didn't know where the grass was produced, so he sent someone to ask Guiguzi for advice. Guiguzi replied: "It is produced on the East China Sea Island." Qin Shihuang sent Xu Fu to the East China Sea by boat to find this kind of fairy grass. In this story, Guiguzi became a fairy.

Du Guangting, a Taoist priest in the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, advanced the survival time of Guiguzi to Xuanyuan Huangdi, saying that Guiguzi went through the Shang Dynasty and the Western Zhou Dynasty and followed Taishang Laojun to educate the local people in the desert areas of the western regions. At the end of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, he returned to the mainland to preach and teach, with hundreds of disciples. According to this statement, Guiguzi lived for thousands of years. Since then, it has been said that Guiguzi is the king in the Fairy Biography written by Ge Hong in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The Legend of the Immortals says, "Wang Yuan, Fang Ping? Fang Pingguo came, riding a feather cart and riding five dragons. Dragons have different colors. They wave flags, and they are very majestic from front to back, just like a general. " It is also said that after the reunion of the king and the fairy Magu, Magu said, "Since we last met, I have seen the East China Sea turn into mulberry fields three times and mulberry fields into the East China Sea three times. Now the water in the East China Sea has become shallower than before, and it seems to be turning into land again. " The king went on to say, "the sea will also raise dust!" " Ma Gu used her magic to turn rice grains into pearls. Wang smiled and said, "Ma Gu is still young, so she likes to play this game. I am too old to play like her. " In this story, Guiguzi became a big fairy who lived with heaven and earth.

Taoism is a native religion that inherited China's ancient religious beliefs, and had a far-reaching impact on China's political, economic and cultural thoughts in feudal times. Taoism was founded in Shun Di in the Eastern Han Dynasty, that is, in the 2nd century A.D., with Laozi, the founder of Taoism, as the ancestor and revered as the "Old Throne". After Taoism was founded, all the famous Taoist works were classified as classics.

Although Guiguzi is a masterpiece of military strategists, it has widely absorbed Taoist thoughts. In addition, the contents of the book have a certain mystery. For example, the book says: "The goodness of ancient times is the enemy of the listener, but it is only to change ghosts and gods to get their feelings." "Don't look at its door, it's called a god." . Therefore, it is regarded as a classic by Taoism. Guiguzi's own image has also changed from a strategist to a Taoist. Guo Pu, a poet in the Jin Dynasty, wrote in Poems about Immortals:

There are more than 1000 people in Qingxi.

There is a Taoist in the middle school.

Between clouds and beams,

The wind is blowing in the house.

Excuse me, who's calling?

Clouds are guiguzi.

Guiguzi is not only regarded as a strategist, strategist and immortal by later generations, but also regarded as a grandfather by the Japanese.

As a cultural phenomenon, divination is a manifestation of backwardness and ignorance. All kinds of divination activities are based on such a simple relationship between heaven and man: everything in the world is dominated by heaven and restricted by the earth. If people have to forgive, heaven will show it. Because they believe in the existence of heaven, admit the absolute domination of heaven over man and admit the absolute obedience of man to heaven, many people try to communicate with heaven in some way, and predict "God's will" by analyzing the omen of heaven and man, so the fortune teller adapts to the psychological needs of fortune tellers. In the eyes of many fortune tellers, those accidental phenomena caused by human operation are the inevitable result of the induction of heaven and man, so they are convinced of those nonsense things.

During the Tang and Song Dynasties, a kind of fortune-telling book called Life Book appeared. The title of this book is Gui Gu Zi Zhuan Li Zhu. Li was a minister in the Tang Dynasty, an official in a temple in Tang Xianzong, and an expert in fortune telling. According to relevant experts' research, The Book of Life is not the work of Guiguzi, and Li Zhu was also entrusted by later generations by mistake. Many Taoist priests in ancient times were engaged in divination activities. Guiguzi is regarded as a fairy by later generations, and it is reasonable for later generations to write divination books with his reputation. With the spread of the book of life, Guiguzi became the "grandfather" of the Japanese.
