1. Zhang Sanfeng has a different position in the hearts of China people. Especially after Mr. Jin Yong's "Eternal Dragon Slayer", Zhang Sanfeng became one of the rare mythical figures in China. Zhang Sanfeng is the founder of Wu Tangmen and founded Tai Ji Chuan. There are many magical legends about Zhang Sanfeng.
Zhang Sanfeng, a native of Liaodong, was born in the second year of Dingzong in Yuan Dynasty, namely 1247. As for the year of death, we will talk about it later.
The Ming Dynasty was a dynasty that especially advocated Taoism, from Zhu Yuanzhang to Chongzhen. After Judy ascended the throne, she regarded Taoism as the state religion. In Jiajing period, Taoism was promoted to a new height. Even The Journey to the West in Four Great Classical Novels was banned in the Ming Dynasty. There are no two reasons. Journey to the west respects Buddha and suppresses Taoism. Therefore, it is listed as a banned book.
Zhu Yuanzhang founded the Ming Dynasty in 1368, when Zhang Sanfeng was actually a very famous master. Zhang Sanfeng 12 1 year. Zhang Sanfeng and his disciples built houses in the paddock of Wudang Mountain. There is an original house in Zixiao Palace of Wudang Mountain.
2. As the first emperor of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang heard the name of Zhang Sanfeng for a long time, so he sent someone to Wudang Mountain to invite Zhang Sanfeng, hoping to ask Zhang Sanfeng how to live a long life. But Zhu Yuanzhang sent someone to invite Zhang Sanfeng and Zhang Sanfeng to go out of town twice. So I didn't meet Zhang Sanfeng until Zhu Yuanzhang died.
After Zhu Yuanzhang's death, Judy won the unification of the Ming Dynasty, and Judy was also interested in Zhang Sanfeng, but Judy's search for Zhang Sanfeng was much more high-profile. He sent Hu Guang to Wudang Mountain to invite Zhang Sanfeng, but Hu Guang went back and forth for ten years, but he didn't see Zhang Sanfeng. As Judy grew older, Judy was really anxious and said to Hu Guang, "If you can't find Zhang Sanfeng, you will die." .
Hu Guang had no choice but to talk nonsense with Judy, saying that he had seen Zhang Sanfeng, but the real person wanted to have dinner with the old gentleman, so he couldn't come.
Judy, who is so clever, was cheated and wrote a letter to Zhang Sanfeng. The letter said, "I have heard a lot about real people and I really want to see you." You are morally noble and above everything else, while I am ignorant and humble in virtue. I hope you will definitely come to Beijing when you are free. I'm waiting for you to come. "
Besides, in order to please Zhang Sanfeng, Judy built many buildings in Wudang Mountain. Eight Gong Er Guan San Lu 'an Hall was built for Zhang Sanfeng, and the scale of Wudang Mountain began to grow.
Maybe Judy's letter played a role, or Judy played a role in the construction of Wudang Mountain. At the age of 169, Zhang Sanfeng finally met Judy. Of course, he also wrote a letter to Judy, which also contained the secret of longevity. According to Zhang Sanfeng's character, this matter, if any, is probably a letter. Of course he won't go to see Judy.
In this year, Judy named Zhang Sanfeng, aged 169, as a real person in Wudang. Perhaps with Judy's warning, emperors after the Ming Dynasty always liked to look for Zhang Sanfeng. Moreover, in order to get the secret of longevity from the old fairy, Zhang Sanfeng was given many titles, such as revealing reality through micro.
4. So how old did Zhang Sanfeng live?
According to the records in Ming History, Ji Fang Ci, Volume 187, and The Origin and Interpretation of Taiji Genealogy in Ancient and Modern Times, Zhang Sanfeng should have died tomorrow in the second year of Shun, about 1458. The life span of Zhang Sanfeng should be about 2 12 years old. This is also a recognized figure at present.
Of course, there are also some records about Zhang Sanfeng, the most recent of which was in Daoguang period of Qing Dynasty. But this is just a legend, there is no actual evidence. Many people believe that Zhang Sanfeng has been living in the world, because he has transcended life and death.
Although there is no specific record of how old Zhang Sanfeng lived in history, what is certain is that Zhang Sanfeng is definitely an old man over 100 years old. Such an age may seem outrageous to us, but it is not unusual for Taoism, which is abstinent and good at keeping in good health.
In history, almost all mythical figures like Zhang Sanfeng have a long life span, such as Peng Zu, Jiang Ziya, Guiguzi and Chen Tuan.
