Why did Lu become a monk after saving Ada?

In 108, Lu is a very popular character. Can be said to be a real knight. He once saved Jin Cuilian, Lin Chong, Liu Taigong's daughter and others. He changed from an officer to a fugitive, but he has no regrets. However, after being saved, he had to become a monk in order to avoid the pursuit of the government. His nickname? Flower monk? That's why.

Here is a question: Will there be a scar on Lu's head after he becomes a monk?

When we watch some TV dramas, we often find that after becoming a monk, we have to burn several scars on our heads. These scars were left by incense. For example, in the movie Shaolin Temple, there is a scene of burning incense and scarring. Careful observation shows that even if many monks have incense scars, the number will not be the same, ranging from one or two to nine.

According to the story of Water Margin, Lu was from the Northern Song Dynasty. Did he burn incense?

About the origin of this scar, some people think it is temporal.

Liang Wudi Xiao Yan was a very famous emperor, but when he became emperor, he was very interested in Buddhism. He became a monk three times, which led ministers to spend a lot of money to redeem him three times. He himself had a great influence on Buddhism, the most famous of which was vegetarianism.

At first, monks can eat? Sanjin meat? . So-called? Sanjin meat? I just can't see the meat of the killed animals, I can't hear the meat of the killed animals, and I don't want to eat the meat of animals. However, Liang Wudi himself thought that vegetarianism was better, and he took the lead. Later, monks stopped eating meat.

Besides being a vegetarian, there is another thing that can make condemned prisoners become monks.

Perhaps out of kindness, Liang Wudi ordered the pardon of death row inmates, but on one condition, that is, to make them monks. In order to prevent some people from escaping from the temple and endangering others, Liang Wudi referred to the faces of monks and put burn scars on their heads as a sign. In this way, even if these people do bad things in the future, they can be found out.

Later, this burn scars was handed down and became a fragrant scar.

This story is not very reliable. Probably the association of celebrities. After all, Liang Wudi is too famous in the history of Buddhism, and he is an emperor himself.

In fact, from Liang Wudi to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there were no incense scars on the heads of monks and eminent monks in China. We can look at the portraits and statues of Master Xuanzang, Jian Zhen monks and even Japanese monks in the same period. There are no scars on their heads.

In the Song Dynasty, monks didn't burn incense scars. In the history of China, the earliest monk who burned incense and scarred was in the Yuan Dynasty.

The sai-jo summoned Zhide, gave a banquet in purple robes, and appointed Tianxi and Zhong Jing as the second brake? Special gift? Master Buddha Light? The number of people, when consecrated to seven, will enable their parents and brothers to teach each other without committing crimes. As for Ruo (weak voice), Xiang Ding means a lifelong oath. ?

This happened in a.d. 1288. Monk Zhide was sent by Yuan Shizu to preach. When he preached precepts, all his disciples asked him? Ruoxiang? . Among them,? Ruoxiang? It means burn incense and scar.

This is the earliest written record of burning incense scar with accurate age. Since then, the custom of burning incense and scarring has spread from Jinling to all parts of the country. It is worth mentioning that from this passage, it can be seen that the burn marks can be not only on the top of the head, but also on the fingers. Actually, it can also be used on the body and arms. Some monks even burned a finger as a gesture. Ruoxiang? .

Of course, some people think that Kublai Khan in Yuan Shizu did this to distinguish the Han monks.

At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, he lived in Shandong, leaving monks to be virtuous. Ruoxiang? 160 years, it is impossible to burn incense scars on the top of your head. This point, in CCTV's "Water Margin", there was a fragrant scar on the old man, which is obviously wrong. As for the Shaolin Temple set in the Tang Dynasty, the scene of monks burning incense and scarring is even more out of line with history.
