At that time, Han Yu, a great writer, advocated that prose should be Tao-based, retro as revolution, and prose should be used instead of parallel prose, which had a great influence on that time and later generations. So he contributed to the decline of eight generations of literature, and he was very opposed to Buddhism. Tang Xianzong sent envoys to welcome Buddha bones into North Korea. He went to the table to remonstrate, offended the emperor, and was demoted to Chaozhou as a secretariat. He met an old monk in Chaozhou. This old monk is smart and reasonable, and he gets along well with Han Yu. Han Yu has few friends in Chaozhou, so he keeps close contact with this monk, so it is said that Han Yu also believes in Buddhism.
His friend Meng Jiao (Dao), a history book at that time, believed in Buddhism the most. Also in order to offend Tang Xianzong, was banished to Jizhou. When I arrived in Jizhou, I also heard that Han Yu once believed in Buddhism. He is a little confused because he knows that Han Yu is the strongest person who opposes faith. Therefore, he wrote a letter to ask Han Yu.
After receiving Meng's letter, Han Yu knew that his association with the monk had caused others' misunderstanding and immediately wrote back to Meng to explain. Moreover, Han Yu criticized a group of ministers who were in Korea at that time, believed in Buddhism, disobeyed Confucianism and Taoism, and blindly confused the emperor with superstition. He was indignant at the emperor's alienation from sages, which led to the degeneration of Confucianism and Taoism.
There is such a sentence in the letter: "If you are full of holes, you will lose with chaos, and the danger of * * * is as close as a thousand ..." This is a metaphor, which is extremely dangerous, just like tying a hair with something weighing 1000 kilograms. Nowadays, most people often use this sentence to describe the most dangerous thing they have encountered. This idiom is found in a letter written by Han Yu to Meng Shangshu. It reads: "* * * The danger is like a close call, and it continues to extend, and the depression is slightly extinguished." Sentence.
