A Happy Confucian Journey

Reborn in Dayong, six-year-old Bai Haomiao was born in a poor mountain village, suffering from hunger and cold every day. Fortunately, he met Yun Zhongzi from Xiaoyao Academy, and accepted him as a closed disciple without taking any money. He also set an iron rule: Do not make profits through Taoism, and your practice must be rooted in the world of mortals. Other monks are dedicated to seclusion and only seek immortality and transcendence. But while he was practicing the Confucian way in the academy, he was guarding his family at home. Promote farming, care for the common people, redress grievances, and refine the Taoist heart amidst all the conditions in the world. The powerful squires secretly create difficulties, and troubles in the court come one after another. The young man has a strong character, protects good with his sword, and upholds integrity with his writing. Only after traveling thousands of miles did I finally realize: the so-called longevity is never about reaching the sky alone, but about guarding the lights of thousands of families in this world.
