Synopsis

"Tongxuan Zhenjing" is the "Wenzi". The Wenzi school of thought is yang-yang. In the first year of Tianbao (742), Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty issued an edict to confer Wenzi the title of Tongxuan Zhenren, and respected the book "Wenzi" as the "Tongxuan Zhenjing". Taoism regarded it as one of the "Four Sons" Zhenjing. Li Xian of the Northern Wei Dynasty commented on "Wenzi" that Ji Ran was Wenzi. Wenzi was born in the Spring and Autumn Period, belonged to the Taoist system, and wrote the book "Wenzi". Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty euphemistically named it "Tongxuan Zhenjing", which is one of the four sacred scriptures of Taoism. Liu Zongyuan initially doubted its authenticity, and has continued to question it for thousands of years. In 1973, a large number of bamboo slips were unearthed from Han Tomb No. 40 In Bajialang Village, Ding County, Hebei Province, including the book "Wenzi". This public case has just come to an end. The chapter "Wenzi·Shangde" has obvious characteristics of "Yi Zhuan". "Shangde" Jieyi, "" and "Xiang" are the development of the same ideological line.

Reader comments

This "Tongxuan Zhenjing" is very interesting! The "Tao" mentioned in it is really enigmatic, and it gave me a better understanding of Taoist thought. I particularly like the point of view on "inaction" in it, which I find very wise. However, I don't like those abstract concepts very much, and it is a bit difficult to read. Overall, this is a book worth reading and can make people think about many issues about life and the world.

If You Want a Book About True Taoism and a Taoist Priest, the Author Should Really Be Familiar with the Classics and Common Sense of Each School.

Want to watch something similar to "Chuanwu: Return to the Village and Show Off?" I'll add some books on "Learning Martial Arts to Become a Saint". It is best for the author to be familiar with some Taoist classics and common sense before writing this book. If the author is not familiar with it, I will not tolerate it. The protagonist should not be too young and have a good temperament;
