Why did Xuanzang go to learn from the scriptures? Why didn't Xuanzang go to Yunnan?

First, the reasons for learning from the scriptures:

In view of the differences between northern geography theory and southern photography theory, how to integrate them into the problem to be solved in awarding prizes.

In the ninth year of Wude (626), it happened that the Tianzhu monk Bo arrived in Chang 'an. When Xuanzang heard that Indian sages were teaching yoga theory in Nalanduo Temple, he made a vow to seek the Dharma in the West, explore the scriptures directly and retranslate them in order to unify the differences of China's Buddhist thoughts.

In the first year of Zhenguan (627), Xuanzang married a couple. Please allow him to go west to seek dharma. However, it was not approved by Emperor Taizong. However, Xuanzang made up his mind to "venture beyond the appointment and go to Tianzhu privately", with a journey of more than 50,000 miles.

In the second year of Emperor Taizong's Zhenguan reign (628), 29-year-old Xuanzang won the Xuanzang Prize as the only way to learn yoga.

Second, the reason for not going to Yunnan:

1. He is a stowaway, not as described in Journey to the West. He traveled, and Emperor Taizong saw him off, with customs clearance documents.

In fact, Tang Xuanzang went to India without the consent of the imperial court, so there was no customs clearance. At that time, it was called caring. Therefore, he needs the cover of the merchant team, and there are many merchant teams on the Silk Road, which is just suitable for Tang Xuanzang.

2, the southwest jungle is terrible, the natural miasma of wild animals and poisonous insects and so on.

Extended data:

Xuanzang's personal achievements:

The announcement of prizes has made many contributions to the development of China culture, among which the greatest contribution is his translation of the Buddhist classic "Learning from Truth".

In the 19th year of Tang Zhenguan (645), 46-year-old Xuanzang returned from India. In the next 20 years, he devoted all his efforts and wisdom to classic translation.

In Chang 'an and Luoyang, with the help of his assistant, Xuanzang translated 74 Buddhist scriptures, with a volume of 1335, each of which was about 10000 words, accounting for more than half of the total translated scriptures in the Tang Dynasty, equivalent to more than twice the total translated scriptures of the other three major translators in the history of China, which greatly surpassed the predecessors in quality.

I. Main theories

1, five kinds of surnames theory

Xuanzang further developed India's five-caste theory, that is, all sentient beings were divided into acoustic caste, marginal caste, Tathagata caste, indefinite caste and no caste. It is believed that the result of monasticism can be determined according to people's innate quality.

Xuanzang referred to the theories of various schools in India here and systematically expounded the five-level theory.

2. Philosophy of knowledge only

Xuanzang has made great efforts in sorting out and studying epistemology. When he was studying in India, he only studied knowledge for two years in the Sanjun lay in Zhanglinshan.

Before returning to China, I collected all 30 ode to knowledge and 2,500 ode to top ten theorists explained by Nalanduo Temple, and translated them into the theory of knowledge, which became the main classics of the school of knowledge in China.

At the same time, he also founded the "Three Realms Theory", which promoted the development of knowledge-only learning. Not only that, the Xuan Prize, together with his disciples, Huinuma and others, founded a school of knowing only, which had a far-reaching influence in the history of China's philosophy in China, and spread to the Korean peninsula and all parts of Japan, and created a school of establishing schools, which was very popular.

3, due to Ming.

When Xuanzang was studying in India, he studied under a theorist who was proficient in the study of Inming. After returning to China, he translated Shang's "On the Right Path" and his "On the Right Path".

His disciples carried it forward in succession, and the effect was very good. Xuanzang also personally corrected the misunderstanding of Yin Ming by Shandong cuisine. It can be seen that he attaches importance to Ying Ming.
