Tearing the Sun

Rebirth of a turbulent life

In this month, farmers harvested the crops. The emperor tasted the new crops and first offered them to the temple. He ordered all officials to collect the crops. The dikes were completed and the dams were carefully blocked to prepare for floods. The palaces were repaired, the walls were broken, and the city walls were repaired. In this month, no princes were appointed or high officials were established. Do not cede land, send ambassadors, or pay large amounts of money. If the winter order is carried out in the first month of autumn, the yin energy will prevail, insects will destroy the crops, and the army will come. If the spring order is carried out, the country will suffer from drought, the yang energy will return, and the five grains will not bear fruit. If the summer order is carried out, the country will have many fires, cold and heat will be unregulated, and the people will suffer from malaria.

Carp in love with ice

When Deva first arrived, he lectured on Abhidharma at Dongting House. When he had just started the lecture, the seat was cut short by half, and Sengmi said, "Everyone has understood it all." He then divided the seat into four parts and those who were interested in Taoism went to the other room to give the lecture themselves. After Deva finished his lecture, Dongting asked the Taoist Fagang, "None of my disciples understood, but how could Amitābha understand? What did he get?" He said, "It is roughly correct, but I may not have understood it in detail."

The Taming of the Stubborn Lady

In ancient times: public land was rented but not taxed. Markets and shops were not taxed. Customs were checked but not levied. The forests, hills, rivers and marshes were visited at regular times but not prohibited. The land of the gui was not taxed. The people's labor was used, but not more than three days a year. There was no porridge in the fields, and no request for graves. The Sikong held the measure and measured the land, and the people lived in the mountains, rivers, marshes and marshes, and the four seasons. The distance of the land was measured, and the work was done according to the people's strength. When commanding the people: the old people were given the work, and the strong people were given the food. The talents of the people must be made according to the cold, warm, dry and wet weather of heaven and earth, and the different shapes of valleys and rivers. The people living in the land had different customs: hardness, softness, lightness, heaviness, slowness and speed were different, the five flavors were different, the tools were made differently, and the clothes were different. Improve their education, but do not change their customs; standardize their politics, but do not change their suitability. The people of China, Rong, and Yi, all have their own natures, which cannot be changed. The people of the East are called Yi, who have hair and tattoos, and some do not eat cooked food. The people of the South are called Man, who have carvings and patterns, and some do not eat cooked food. The people of the West are called Rong, who have hair and fur clothes, and some do not eat grains. The people of the North are called Di, who wear feathers and live in caves, and some do not eat grains. China, Yi, Man, Rong, and Di all have a safe place to live, a harmonious taste, suitable clothes, and tools. The people of the five directions do not speak the same language and have different tastes. To reach their aspirations and communicate their desires: the East is called Ji, the South is called Xiang, the West is called Didi, and the North is called Yi.

Millennium Love

Yin Zhongjun was deposed and moved to Dongyang, where he read Buddhist scriptures extensively and understood them thoroughly. Only I don’t understand the part about “matters and numbers”. I met a Taoist and asked him about his fortune, and I felt relieved.

Comic King

In the first month of winter, the sun is at the tail, the sunset is at the middle of Wei, and the dawn is at the middle of the seven stars. The day is Ren and Gui. Its emperor is Zhuanxu, and its god is Xuanming. Its insect is shellfish. Its sound is feather, and the musical scale is Yingzhong. Its number is six. Its taste is salty, and its smell is rotten. Its ritual is to sacrifice to the kidney. Water begins to freeze, and the ground begins to freeze. Pheasants enter the water and become clams. The rainbow hides and cannot be seen. The emperor lives in the left side of the Xuan Hall, rides on the Xuan Road, drives the iron horse, carries the black flag, wears black clothes, wears black jade, eats millet and pigs, and his utensils are large and heavy.
