Where did the South China old fairy who once taught Zhang Jiao three volumes of gobbledygook come from?

In Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhang Jiao, the leader of the Yellow Scarf Army, introduced Liu Bei, one of the protagonists of the Three Kingdoms. The reason is simple, both of them are from Hebei. Liu Bei was born in Zhuo Jun, today's Baoding Zhuozhou. This place is very famous in history, including not only Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, but also Zhao Kuangyin.

Zhang Jiao is from Julu, Hebei. However, when introducing Zhang Jiao, Luo Guanzhong made a big mistake, saying that Zhang Jiao was "an outstanding scholar". But at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was no imperial examination at all. At this time, if you want to be an official, you have to recommend Lian Xiao. This is how Cao Cao got in. Another is the praise of celebrities, which is why Monthly Review is so famous.

However, it should be noted that Zhang Jiao in history is actually a Taoist identity, which means that Zhang Jiao belongs to the category of intellectuals, at least he can read and write. This was actually quite rare in the late Han Dynasty. Therefore, Zhang Jiao can rely on being kind to civilians, develop his Taiping Dao at the same time, and finally lead the Yellow Scarf Uprising.

Perhaps it is precisely because Zhang Jiao is a Taoist priest that Luo Guanzhong arranged a fairy teacher for Zhang Jiao in Romance of the Three Kingdoms. When Zhang Jiao went into the mountains to chop wood, he met an old man with strange looks. He was a "blue-eyed child". It is that the eyes are green and the appearance looks quite young. I'm afraid that when I see the word "blue eyes", it is estimated that anyone familiar with The Romance of the Three Kingdoms will think of Sun Quan with "blue eyes and purple beard".

Therefore, in terms of ridicule, don't be surprised at Sun Quan's appearance, and don't treat Sun Quan as a foreigner, because immortals also have blue eyes! Why can't Sun Quan?

In this way, Zhang Jiao was taken to a cave by the old fairy, and then he was given three volumes of gobbledygook, saying, "You have this name, Taiping Shu Yao, which is a contemporary celestial propaganda and universal salvation; Infidelity is rewarded. " Zhang Jiao asked who the old fairy was. The old fairy replied, "I am an old fairy in South China!" "Say that finish, without hesitation into a breeze disappeared.

This is really a true Taoist school. The more Taoist, the less I want to be known. But once the world is going to be in chaos, it always appears mysteriously. For example, at the end of the Qin Dynasty, Huang Shigong deliberately threw his shoes under the bridge and asked Sean to pick them up. So three times, this just teaches a book. When you finish, you'll never find it again.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, another fairy came out and gave Zhang Jiao three gobbledygook, which he could never find. Sean assisted Liu Bang to create the Han Dynasty, and Sean overthrew the Han Dynasty. It was another reincarnation! China's classical philosophy is displayed in this cycle. There is no end forever, just like the four seasons, there is a beginning and an end, and there is a cause and a result. The so-called Tao is natural!

The question now is, who is the old immortal in South China who passed it on to Zhang Jiao's gobbledygook, and what is his status? It's a long story, because one pole stabbed the pre-Qin era. As we all know, in the Spring and Autumn Period, a super thinker was born from Zhou's "library". This is Laozi, the founder of Taoism. A classic of Tao Te Ching still profoundly affects our younger generation.

After Laozi, another Taoist master appeared, that is, Zhuangzi, who systematically inherited and developed Laozi's ideological system. Therefore, like Confucius and Mencius, the ancestor of Taoism was also collectively referred to as "Laozi and Zhuangzi" by later generations.

Zhuangzi's most famous work is Zhuangzi, and this book also has a name, South China Classic, which belongs to Taoist classics. As we all know, Li Yuan, the founding father of the Tang Dynasty, once said: Our Lao Li family in Longxi is the descendant of Lao Zi (Li Er), the ancestor of Taoism.

Naturally, Zhuangzi, an important Taoist figure, was especially admired by the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, in the first year of Tianbao (AD 724), Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty awarded Zhuangzi the title of "South China Real Person"! Now, the answer has come out. It turns out that the South China Old Fairy who teaches Zhang Jiao's gobbledygook turned out to be Zhuangzi!

However, the last thing to note is that the person who really "taught" Zhang Jiao Shu in history also appeared in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. This is the "immortal" Yu Ji who fought with Sun Ce in Jiangdong. The reason why Zhang Jiao can create "Taiping Dao" is influenced by Yu Ji's Taiping Jing.

Let me think about it. The reason why Luo Guanzhong gave up Yu Ji was because there was a gobbledygook from Zhuangzi to Zhang Jiao in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. I'm afraid it's because Yu Ji's title is not as loud as Zhuangzi's, and finally he did die in the hands of Sun Ce. This is really a little sorry for the title of "immortal".
