Having said finishing the sleeves, and immediately became a Meiqingmuxiu's boy . Guard saw it, stunned, scared quickly informed. Huainan Wang heard this high people, anxious not got even the shoes, bare feet and ran out, and more than eight guests in honor of the public. Huainan Wang asked a very polite eight public: "the fairy name to this place to teach?" Bagong replied: "I was able to master that text, to superior force, evergreen trees can enable the human immortality people. I can do anything they want, reverse sun and the moon, I make the rivers upstream, driven by the spirits, free access to water and fire, move easily mountains, while I was changing, all-powerful. " Liu An listened in awe to the eight public salute, politely ask him to guide him to leave monastic.
"One moral, towards each other to heaven," the phrase that comes from this, but with the changes in current events, from the compliment into a derogatory meaning.
Liu An (BC 179 - before 122), Han emperor Liu Bang of the Sun, Huainan Li Wang Chang-son. Wen 8 years (172 BC), the Chang-stripped the throne, died on the road fast. Wen 16 years (164 BC), Emperor Wen of Huainan originally divided into three countries to the three brothers of Liu An, Liu An eldest son as the Huainan Wang Xifeng, when he was 16 years old. He creativeness agile, good reading, good diction, happy Guqin. Western Han dynasty renowned thinker, writer, written instructions from the orders of Emperor Wu of Han "Lament body" is the first to Qu Yuan and the "Lament" as a highly praised book. Has "invite guests party people in thousands of patients," write the collective "Honglie" (later called the book as "Huainan Honglie" or "Huai Nan Zi"), a book all-inclusive, both historical value, but also literary value. Liu An is the world's first try of the practice of hot-air balloon took off, he will be eggs to juice to take the heat burning Ai, so that the shell buoyant. Liu An is the founder of China's tofu. September 15, 1992, Huainan City, Anhui Province held the first "China Bean Curd Cultural Festival" to commemorate the founder of Chinese bean curd - Han Huainan Wang Liu An's birthday and his 2100 invention of tofu.
Liu well the art of yellow and white, called Taoist, Confucian, herbalist and itinerant people in magic and alchemy pharmaceuticals, the most famous non-Su, Shang-Wei Li, Tian by the, mine was, Ng was, Jìn Chāng, hair is left Wu , known as "Bagong" in Shouchun Beishan ramming alchemy, even as tofu. Liu An consequent revered as the originator of tofu, 8 hence the name Mt.
Liu An of the system of national ideology of "doing nothing" system to improve on Taoism does not follow the first method, not conservative chapter, follow the laws of nature to develop a series of light punishment thin Fu, encourage the production of policy, use of personnel, compassionate people, so there is prosperous and stable country in Huainan scene.
Although Liu An's governance policies have the support of the people, but in that era Domination of Confucianism, Taoism he pursued, repeated slanderous. Han Yuan Shou years (122 BC), Emperor Wu of Liu An "Yin Results guests, pat through the people and things for the rebel" troops into the charges of Huainan, Liu An was forced to commit suicide.
Liu An Han appreciate the talent, but he started to implement the "deposed 100, Only Confucianism," the rule of thought, but respected and Liu An's "inaction" of the Taoist doctrine diametrically opposed, but the death of his father Chang- Liu has become a comfort in a "knot." Therefore, Liu An extensive set hangers in a "scholarly discussion", it is also constantly accumulating strength, doing to prepare for the day of the rebellion.
However, and his father, Liu An's rebellion has not had time to implement, it was the complain because mine hangers and hangers Wu was, grandson of Liu's informant and come to an end.
"Eight public" in another hangers Wu was, in that Liu An preparing rebellion, it had several times to intervene, Liu An, but not only listen, always out late Qin Sheng, Wu Guang Uprising examples of success retorted. Wu was not made to see their remonstrance adopted, also decided to turned on, to Liu An rebellion to the court regarding the tip.
As the saying goes, "Fu Warriors to, misfortunes never come singly," Liu An, facing life and death in the critical moment, his grandson Liu jumped out toward his grandfather's chest on the fiercely "poke a knife." Liu's father, Liu Shu is not harmful because it is out of favor rarely Liu An, a long-term feel complaints. At this point, he was that "no long head," the son of Liu, also went to the Chang'an city even reported from the shape to. Liu's aim is to trap the original Prince Liu moved, so that his father's successor when the Huainan Wang. But he did not think that just like his grandfather sent to the Land of the Dead Road.
In this way, mine was complain to the former, Wu was, Liu denounced in the post, then send the famous Han Tang-come cruel officials handling the case, it was concluded that Liu An rebellion true. BC 122 (Chinese Yuan Shou first year), the Han Emperor Wu of Liu An "Yin Results guests, pat through the people, as a matter of treason" and other charges, sent troops into the Huainan, seized from Liu settled down in preparation for the conspiracy to attack the warfare equipment, and used to line fraud and forgery Yuxi golden seal, knew that Liu An unforgivable forced to commit suicide, but his complicity in the Hengshan Wang Lau, after hearing the news, also died of suicide.
Liu Bang, founder of the Han Dynasty symbiotic 8 son, father, Chang-An Liu was his youngest son. In 202 BC, "King of Western Chu" Failure after Xiang Yu, Liu Bang in the Chu and Wang Hanxin, Han Wangxin, Huainan Wang Ying Bu, King of Liang Peng Yue, Hengshan Wang Rui Wu, Zhang Zhao, and Yan Wang Zang Ao tea Princes "urged progress" , by the "Kingship" became the Han dynasty, rather than as the "Emperor", completed by the Qin to Han's historic transition. After the founding of the Han Dynasty, Han central government with the Kings in conflict soon surfaced, the princes have Ju-Bing Wang rebellion. In July 196 BC, Huainan Wang Ying Bu shuaibing anti-Han, Liu Bang ill frail elderly personally led a force against, and eventually defeat the British cloth. Since then, large and small, against the Kings in a series of counter-insurgency war, Liu obtained a "lessons learned" --- The reason why the Kings in the back with the central government centrifugal Germany, the key reason is that they do not surname "Liu." As a result, Liu Bang began to Princes of the imperial clan Liu packet to the children, to his death in 195 BC, a total of nine children of been called Kings in Lau, where Chang-"take" the British announced a "ban "established by his father as Huainan Wang. Huainan Communist licensed Jiujiang, Hengshan, Lujiang and Yuzhang 4 counties, capital of the Shouchun, Shou County is today.
But then, history has showed that Liu Bang summed up this "lessons learned" downright silly enough, was canonized as the Kings in his hand the Liu children, with the wings of the fullness and power of expansion, then quickly go British fabrics such as different surnames on the Kings in the old road, they not only "cross state and county, Citylink dozens, hundred officials with the system of Imperial palaces," and even openly court rival, "alarm call board" to. Emperor Wen ascended the throne, not long after the North's economy would Ju-Bing Wang Xing rebel ranks; BC 174, was Emperor Wen Liu Heng, "to be the gift of brotherhood," the Huainan Wang Chang-also played a rebel heart.
In 174 BC, Chang-Qi and so secretly sent collusion with Prince Edward, and intended to co-Minyue and Huns jointly rebellion. Clearly, as Chang-such "Gongzigeer", in order to accomplish something big is not easy, his plot will soon be the court found that he himself got caught up capital. Han-Wen for Mindful brotherhood, not according to the law office Chang-capital punishment, but he spent Jazz Shujun exile. Chang-way in the hair with a hunger strike to death, only 25 years old, died and was posthumous title for Huainan Li Wang. Chang-death, Huainan State was canceled, centralized management.
Two years later, Chang-Han Wen thought of the suicide of the brother, the more we wished mind more than the taste, they even ordered the Chang-four young as seven-year-old son were sealed Hou; to 164 years BC, Han Wen once again issued an edict, the original country, one in three of Huainan (Huainan, Hengshan and Lujiang), respectively, to the Chang-closure of three sons, the eldest son Liu Ancheng hit his father's title, as Huainan Wang.
"Deadlock" will bring disaster upon
The tragic death of his father at an early age, hoping the pain of Liu An of the Han Dynasty can be loyal, this is clearly an idiot. In fact, Liu An's life is always on the court's dissatisfaction, resentment and dissent among the band spent the beginning.
However, despite the great Han Liu An appreciation of the talent, but he started to implement the "deposed 100, Only Confucianism," the rule of thought, but respected and Liu An's "inaction" of the Taoist doctrine of keeping his father Liu Liu's death has become a long peace of mind in an "impasse." Therefore, Liu An extensive set hangers in a "scholarly discussion", it is also constantly accumulating strength, doing to prepare for the day of the rebellion.
However, and his father, Liu An's rebellion has not had time to implement, it was the complain because mine hangers and hangers Wu was, grandson of Liu's informant and come to an end.
"Eight public" in another hangers Wu was, in that Liu An preparing rebellion, it had several times to intervene, Liu An, but not only listen, always out late Qin Sheng, Wu Guang Uprising examples of success retorted. Wu was not made to see their remonstrance adopted, also decided to turned on, to Liu An rebellion to the court regarding the tip.
As the saying goes, "Fu Warriors to, misfortunes never come singly," Liu An, facing life and death in the critical moment, his grandson Liu jumped out toward his grandfather's chest on the fiercely "poke a knife." Liu's father Liu Shu is not harmful because it is out, with little Liu An's favorite, long-term feel complaints. At this point, he was that "no long head," the son of Liu, also went to the Chang'an city even reported from the shape to. Liu's aim is to trap the original Prince Liu moved, so his father when the Huainan Wang's successor. But he did not think that just like his grandfather sent to the Land of the Dead Road.
In this way, mine was complain to the former, Wu was, Liu denounced in the post, then send the famous Han Tang-come cruel officials handling the case, it was concluded that Liu An rebellion true. BC 122 (Chinese Yuan Shou first year), the Han Emperor Wu of Liu An "Yin Results guests, pat through the people, as a matter of treason" and other charges, sent troops into the Huainan, Liu settled down from the preparations for the rebellion were seized in the attack warfare equipment, and used to line fraud and forgery Yuxi golden seal, knew that Liu An unforgivable forced to commit suicide, but his complicity in the Hengshan Wang Lau, after hearing the news, also died of suicide.
Liu An's death, the court severely pursue the matter, so vulnerable to those killed thousands of people. Since then, the Han Dynasty edict abolished the Huainan country will Huainan old haunt to Jiujiang County, centralized, Huainan Wang clan to this defeat.
"Inaction" of the classic
Huainan Wang Liu security with full of resentment and regret, hastily took the road of no return, but the pundits are left for future generations a precious spiritual wealth --- Liang praised by modern scholars as the "Han Writing in the first class, "the epoch-making masterpiece," Huai. "
"Huainanzi" also known as the "Huai Nan Hong Lie" or "Honglie" is doing Huainan Wang Liu An, the "lead to thousands of guests Alchemist" written formed. Although this book is more than collaboration, but "man books", "good for the diction" of Liu An, was recognized as the real "editor", "Huai" must have his hand in writing the article, which This book is also largely reflected his own thinking.
"Book of" The original monumental masterpiece system, there are "within the book" 21, "foreign books" 33 and "the book" volume 8, book with Taoism as the main content inclusive, are related to politics, philosophy, ethics, history, literature, economics, physics, chemistry, astronomy, geography, agriculture, water, medical health and other fields, the Han Dynasty a Taoist doctrine of the most important representative. But unfortunately, the spread has a "book of" leaving only "inside the book" 21 a.
"Book of" lessons of "I", "Zhuang Zi", particularly "on silk" thinking information, becomes a Taoist doctrine epitomize the theoretical work, not only on the "Road", "Heaven," "shape God "and issue a unique insight, while inheriting the Spring and Autumn Period of the" Air "and the Warring States Period Jixia Early Han Dynasty" fine qi "is proposed based on the" vitality of "concepts and systems cosmogony. Impact of the Western Han Dynasty, as a great social encyclopedia, "Huainanzi" The value of historical research and contains a wealth of spiritual wisdom, has yet to be our future generations to further exploration.
Also very interesting is that Ming Luo Qi in the "original property" mentioned in the pre-Han Liu An make tofu records. Ming Li Shi Zhen in the "Compendium of Materia Medica," also said: "Tofu the law, began before the Chinese Huainan Wang Liu An. Huainan City, now in front of train station there is the equestrian statue of Liu An, tofu festival every year in September there.
