Liezi, a thinker in the early Warring States period, was another representative figure of Taoist thought besides Laozi and Zhuangzi, at the same time as Zheng Mugong. His study is based on Huangdi Laozi, who advocates tranquility and inaction. The "Taoist" section of Bangu's "Yiwenzhi" of the Later Han Dynasty contains eight volumes of "Liezi". Liezi, also known as Chongxu Jing, (written between 450 and 375 BC) is an important Taoist classic. The Han Dynasty "Yiwenzhi" contains eight volumes of Liezi, which were lost early. Judging from the ideological content and language use of the eight volumes of the present "Lieh Zi", it is possible that they were compiled by later generations based on ancient materials. The book contains 134 folk tales, fables, myths and legends, etc., which were compiled and supplemented by Zhang Zhan from the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The subject matter is wide-ranging, and some of them are of great educational significance.

Every text in "Liezi", no matter how long or short, is a system of its own, each with its own theme, reflecting wisdom and philosophy. It is easy to understand and interesting. As long as we read it one by one and understand it carefully, It is completely comparable to the ancient Greek "Aesop's Fables", but far surpasses both in terms of artistic conception.

Liezi was open-minded, unfazed by wealth and poverty, and unfazed by honor and disgrace. Because his family was poor, he often didn't have enough to eat, resulting in a sallow complexion and thin skin. Someone advised Ziyang, the ruler of Zheng State, to support Liezi in order to gain a reputation as a good scholar. So Ziyang sent someone to send him ten carts of grain. He thanked him repeatedly, but refused to accept it in kind. The wife complained: I heard that for a wise man, his wife and children can live happily, but now I am often hungry. The prime minister sends you food but you don't accept it. My life is really miserable. Liezi smiled and said to his wife: Ziyang didn't really understand me. He only gave me food after listening to other people's words. In the future, others may also blame me, so I cannot accept it. A year later, an incident occurred in the state of Zheng. Ziyang was killed, many of his party were implicated and killed, and the imperial bandits were safe and sound. This kind of legacy of Liezi is still circulated among the people in Zhengzhou. This story was also recorded in "Zhengzhou Chronicles" in the 32nd year of Kangxi.
Liezi was noble and mysterious. He cultivated Taoism and perfected the art of wind control. He was able to travel in the wind and often rode the wind to travel around the eight wilderness in spring. Zhuangzi's "Xiaoyaoyou" describes the scene of Liezi riding on the wind, "It's calm and kind, and he returns after five days in ten days." Wherever he rode the wind, dead trees bloomed and regained their vitality. Flying freely and carefree, its ease and contentment are enviable. In the first year of Tianbao, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty (739), Li Longji named him Chongxu Zhenren, and his book was titled "Chongxu Zhenjing".

Liezi’s Thoughts
In the first chapter of his book "Xiaoyaoyou", Zhuangzi mentioned that Liezi could "walk on the wind" "Ling Ran Shan Ye" seems to have developed an outstanding Qing Gong. Because Zhuangzi often fictionalizes some fictitious characters in his books, such as "Nobody" and "Tiangen", some people suspect that Liezi is also a "fake person". However, Liezi is also mentioned in many documents such as "Warring States Policy", "Xizi", "Lu Shi Chunqiu" and so on, so Liezi should be a real person. Regarding Liezi's teachings, Liu Xiang believes: "Their learning is based on the Yellow Emperor and Laozi, and is called Taoism. Taoists adhere to the essentials and adhere to the foundation, purify the emptiness and do nothing, and govern the body and connect things with worship and non-competition, which is consistent with the Six Classics." Xing Bing's "Shu" in "Erya. Exegesis" quoted from "Xi Zi. Guangze Pian" and "Lu Shi Chun Qiu Bu Er" and said: "Zi Lie Zi Guixu". "Warring States Policy. Han Ce" contains: "Historical Ji sent an envoy to Chu, and the king of Chu asked: 'What should the guests follow?' He said: 'The words of Zhi Liezi's bandits.' Said: 'Why do you value it?' Said: 'Gui Zhengzheng' Zhang Zhan's "Preface to Liezi" believes: "The outline of his book clearly states that existence and emptiness are the basis, the ultimate destruction of all things is the test, the blessing of the gods is the eternal peace, and the thoughts are represented by objects, and the awakening and awakening are Transform dreams and other emotions. The size is not limited to one area, and there is no false intelligence. It is more important to govern the body than to be an official. If you follow your nature, everything will be suitable. If you forget, there will be no darkness or darkness. This is the purpose." /p>
Lieh Tzu believes that "the best intention of a perfect person is like a mirror. He neither holds back nor welcomes things, responds without hiding them, so he can overcome things without harming them." He often looked hungry because of his poverty, but he refused the food given by Ziyang, the tyrannical ruler of Zheng State.
His disciples strictly asked: "Are all those who hear the Tao rich?" Liezi said: "Jie and Zhou only despised the Tao and valued profit, and they perished!" Liezi also advocated that we should get rid of the nobility, fame and fortune in the world, follow the Tao, and be indifferent. Fame and fortune, quiet practice.
There are many instructive works in the pre-Qin fables and myths and legends in Liezi. For example, the three stories of "Liezi Learning to Shoot" ("Liezi·Shufu"), "Jichang Learning to Shoot" ("Liezi·Tangwen") and "Xuetan Learning to Acquire" ("Liezi·Tangwen") tell us respectively: When it comes to learning, you must not only know what is happening, but also why it is happening; real skills come from diligent study and practice; there is no end to knowledge and skills, and you cannot be satisfied with just learning a little. Another example is "The Legend of the Yellow Emperor" ("The Yellow Emperor" by Liezi), which tells us that the uncanny skill of an old man catching cicadas stems from his diligent study and practice; there is also the even more bizarre plot of "The Wife Does Not Know Her Husband" ("Liehzi") "Tang Wen") shows that a person can change his mind.

The experience of writing the book
The writing of Liezi's book generally went through three stages: 1. Later, Liezi's disciples compiled it based on his activities and remarks. More than eight articles. 2. The Han people supplemented and organized it on this basis, forming the eight chapters recorded in "Hanshu. Yiwenzhi". 3. According to Zhang Zhan's ancestors' collection of books and the fragments collected after the war, "the completeness can only be achieved by checking whether there are any collations." And based on the eight chapters recorded in "Hanshu. Yiwenzhi", it was compiled into the current version of "Liezi". Since in the compilation process, some of Zhang Zhan's own thoughts and some of his compilation must be added in order to clear the text and connect the chapters, it is understandable that the current version of Liezi incorporates some thoughts and language of people from the Wei and Jin Dynasties. . "Liezi", which took three years to be written, is inevitably complicated. For more information, see Mr. Zhang Qinghua's "Essence of the Taoist Scriptures. Liezi. Preface".

Historical records
Liezi’s learning was based on Huangdi and Laozi. According to legend, he once asked Guan Yinzi and worshiped Huqiuzi as his teacher. Later, he studied under Lao Shang and Zhibo Gaozi successively and obtained their true transmissions, while Youbo was unconscious and had no one. After practicing Taoism for nine years, he was able to ride the wind. "Shu Yi Ji" says that Liezi often rode the wind on the first day of spring and traveled around the eight wastelands. On the first day of autumn, he returned to the "wind cave". When the wind came, all the grass and trees grew, and when the wind went away, all the grass and trees fell. "Lu Shi Chun Qiu" said: "Zi Liezi is noble and weak." He believes that "the best intention of a perfect person is like a mirror. He does not hold back or meet, responds without hiding, so he can conquer things without harming them." Liezi was poor and looked hungry, but he refused the food given by Ziyang, the tyrannical ruler of Zheng. His disciple Yan Hui asked: "Are all those who hear the Tao rich?" Liezi said: "Jie and Zhou only despised the Tao and valued profit, which was their demise!" He believed that we should get rid of the nobility, fame and fortune in the world, follow the Tao, and be indifferent to fame and fortune. Practice peace and quiet.

There are a large number of fables, folk stories, myths and legends, etc. in the book. The purpose of the book is generally attributed to Lao and Zhuang. The modern Mr. Yang Bojun's "Collected Commentary on Liezi" cites the main commentaries of the past dynasties, and also appends "A Brief Collection of Zhang Zhan's Deeds" and prefaces by Liu Xiang, Zhang Zhan, Lu Chongxuan, Chen Jingyuan, etc., as well as Liu Zongyuan, Zhu Xi, Gao Sisun, Examination and identification of forgeries by Ye Daqing, Chen Sanli, Liang Qichao, Ma Xulun, Wu Yi Neixiong, Yang Bojun, etc.
Zi Lie Zi Qiong
Original text
Zi Lie Zi Qiong (1) has a hungry look. A guest said to Zheng Ziyang (2): "The imperial bandits are all Taoist scholars. If they live in the king's country and are poor, is it a bad scholar if the king has no one?" Zheng Ziyang ordered the officials to leave the millet (3) . When Ziliezi saw the messenger, he bowed again and said goodbye.
When the envoy left, Ziliezi came in. His wife looked at him and said with heartache (4): "I heard that I am the wife of a Taoist man, and I am all happy (5). Now I am hungry. Jun. If you leave something to eat (6), if you don’t accept it, wouldn’t you be destined to be evil?” Zi Liezi said with a smile, “You don’t know me. If you leave me grain based on others’ words, I will be guilty of it.” In human words (7), this is why I don’t accept it.” His death was caused by the people’s trouble and he killed Ziyang.
Translation
Liezi lived in poverty and often had a hungry look on his face. Someone told Ziyang, the minister of Zheng State, about this incident: "Lieyukou is a virtuous man, but the country you govern is so poor. I'm afraid you don't like virtuous scholars, right?" Ziyang immediately sent officials to give Liezi rice and grain. When Liezi saw the officials sent by him, he thanked him repeatedly and refused to accept Ziyang's gift.
After the officials left, Liezi entered the house. Liezi's wife complained about him and clapped her chest and said sadly: "I heard that the wives and children of righteous people can enjoy all kinds of happiness. But now we look hungry. Zheng Xiang Ziyang just offered the food to him because he thought highly of him, but he refused to accept it. Isn't this destined to be hungry?" Liezi said to him with a smile. Zheng Xiang Ziyang didn't know me personally. He sent people to give me rice grains because of other people's opinions. When he wants to incriminate me, he will definitely rely on other people's opinions. This is why I don't want to accept his gift.

The Foolish Old Man Moved the Mountain and the Two Children Debate
Excerpted from "Liezi·Tang Wen"
The Foolish Old Man Moved the Mountain
Original text
Taihang, Wang Wuershan is seven hundred miles across and ten thousand feet high. It is originally located in the south of Jizhou and north of Heyang.
The Yugong of Beishan is ninety years old and lives facing the mountain in the north. It's a roundabout way. We gathered together to plan and said: "I and you will try to overcome the danger and point out the route to the south of Henan and reach Hanyin. Is that okay?" " Zaran agreed. His wife expressed doubts and said: "With your power, you have never been able to damage Kuifu's hill, like Taihang and Wang's house? How can we place earth and rocks? Za said: "Throw it into the end of the Bohai Sea and the north of the Hidden Earth." "So he led his descendants and three husbands to carry the load, knocked on the stones to cultivate the soil, and transported the dustpan to the end of the Bohai Sea. The widow of the neighbor Jingcheng's family had a surviving son, so he started to fight and jumped to help. The weather was changing in the winter and summer, so he turned around. < /p>
In the bend of the river, the wise old man stopped laughing and said: "It's very serious, it's not good for you." With the remaining strength of the remaining years, I have been unable to destroy a single hair of the mountain. How are they like earth and rocks? "The Foolish Old Man of Beishan took a long breath and said: "Your heart is so strong that it cannot be penetrated. You are no better than a widowed wife and a weak son. Even after my death, my sons will survive; my sons will beget grandchildren, and my grandsons will beget sons; my sons will have sons, and my sons will have grandsons; my descendants will have endless deprivations, but if the mountain does not increase, why bother to be peaceful? "The wise old man died in the bend of the river.
When the snake god heard this, he was afraid of it and told the emperor. The emperor felt his sincerity and ordered the two sons of Kua'e to carry two mountains to the east of Shuo Shuo. , Yicuo Yongnan. From then on, in the south of Ji and the Yin of Han, there was no long break.
Translation
The two mountains, Taihang and Wangwu, have a radius of seven hundred miles. They are seven or eight thousand feet high. (The two mountains) were originally in the south of Jizhou and north of the Yellow River.
The Yugong of Beishan was nearly ninety years old and lived facing the mountains. The traffic in the north of the mountain was blocked, and it was necessary to take a long detour to get in and out, so he called the whole family to discuss and said: "I want to work hard with you to dig down the steep mountain all the way to the south of Yuzhou and to the south bank of the Han River. Is that okay?" (Everyone) all agreed one after another. The emperor agreed with his opinion. His wife asked: "With your strength, you can't even cut down a small mountain like Kuifu, but what can you do with Taihang and Wangwu (two big mountains)? What's more? Where should we put the dirt and stones that came down?" Everyone said one after another: "Throw them to the edge of the Bohai Sea, to the north of Hidden Earth. So he led his three children and grandchildren who carried the burden, chipped stones, dug out soil, and carried it to the edge of the Bohai Sea with dustpans. The widow of the neighbor Jingcheng family had an orphan who was just seven or eight years old, and she also jumped to help them. Winter comes and summer comes, and the seasons change, only one trip back and forth.
Hequ Zhisou smiled and tried to dissuade Yu Gong, saying: "You are not very smart." In the last few years of your life in this world, with the little strength you have left, you can't even remove a blade of grass from the mountain. How can you remove the dirt and rocks?" The Foolish Old Man of Beishan sighed longly and said, "You have a stubborn mind. , stubborn to the point of being unable to understand things, worse than an orphan or a widow. Even if I die, I will still have my son. Sons will beget grandchildren, grandsons will beget sons, and sons will beget sons. Sons have grandchildren; there is no end to the number of children and grandchildren. But the mountain will not grow any higher, so why worry about digging it flat?" Hequ Zhisou had no words to answer.
The mountain god heard about Yu Old Man moving the mountain, and was afraid that he would keep digging, so he He reported this matter to the Emperor of Heaven. The Emperor of Heaven was moved by Yu Gong's sincerity and ordered the two sons of the Hercules Kua'e to carry away two mountains, one to the east of Shuofang and the other to the south of Yongzhou. p>
From then on, there were no mountains blocking the southern part of Jizhou, all the way to the south of the Han River.

Another child thought that the sun was far away from people when it first rose, and was close to people at noon.
The first child said: "When the sun just rose, it looked like a big circle. The hood of the car looks like a plate at noon. Isn't it small in the distance and large in the distance? ”
Another child said: “When the sun first comes out, it feels cool and cold. At noon, it’s as hot as putting your hand into hot water. It’s not that the closer you are, the hotter you feel, and the farther away you feel, the cooler.” ? "

Overview
After Liezi died, he was buried in his hometown of Zhengzhou. On the east side of Zhengzhou City, 30 In Putian Village, there is a small tomb and tombstone in the southeast of the village, which is said to be the tomb of Liezi. There is a Chaohe River in front of the tomb of Liezi, and there are hills behind it. It is surrounded by jujube forests. The founding date of the temple is unknown. According to the inscription, the temple. It was once converted into a Buddhist temple. In the eighth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1580), Su Minwang, the supervisory envoy, learned about this when he inspected Guoputian in Henan Province. Because he ordered the official Zhi to inform Zhengzhou affairs, Xu Rusheng rebuilt the ancestral hall and established the "Rebuilding Liezi Temple".
The ancestral hall originally had a hard-mounted main hall, rolling sheds, left and right rooms, halls, and gatehouses. It was in the shape of a rectangular courtyard. There were several green locust trees in the front and back of the hall. Inlaid with owl kisses and treasure vases, the tiles are decorated with circular patterns, and the lintels and sparrows are decorated with "horses galloping toward the sun", "lion rolling hydrangea" and flower reliefs. In front of the hall, there are one Ming stele and three Qing steles. It was destroyed in 2001, and the stone stele was torn down and buried underground. Now only the mountain gates, corridors and other hard-mounted buildings are left, which were used as student classrooms.
Liezi used them to control the wind during his lifetime. After a happy journey, he finally became an immortal and ascended to heaven, leaving behind the tomb of Liezi on the Bagua Yufeng Platform. The Bagua Yufeng Platform is an octagonal high platform on the south hill of Ershilipu in the east of Zhengzhou, with Bagua diagrams painted on it. There is a statue of Liezi next to it. There are high mountains and dense forests, and the wind is blowing on the trees. Standing in front of the Yufeng Tower and looking at the statue of Liezi, you can really feel the magic and fairy atmosphere.

< p> During the reign of Emperor Huangyou of the Song Dynasty, Song Chi, the magistrate of Zhengzhou, wrote in "Guolieziguan": "He served as Zhu Changshou twice and returned to the Yuke Palace. Therefore, the walls of the ruins are broken, and the wine cup in the dust table is empty. There is no wife in the household, and there is still wind in the clothes. Xuanyou once stayed there, and his high ambition covered Kongtong. " Praising Liezi's noble qualities: "Climbing the Wind Tower" written by Hou Ermei, a native of Zhengzhou in the Qing Dynasty: "In the past, I read Lingran's sentence, and now I am ascending to Liezi's stage. The grass is green in the spring in Langfeng, and the wild flowers are blooming in Gushe. When will the fairy return and the shepherd boy come back? Chengfeng always had ambitions and hated his disciple Cui Wei. "In the 20th year of Guangxu's reign in the Qing Dynasty, Zhu Yanzhao's "Guatai Immortal Scenery" written by Zhengzhou Xuezheng: "Immortal talents are always proud of themselves, but it is in vain when the wind is gone. The innate hexagrams are drawn to the tortoise, and the platform is lifted from the ground because the crane is high. Guangdong thinks of Xiling clouds dim, distant shadows of Bianshui. He wrote a book that talks about empty and absurd things, which should be praised as the history of Qiyuan. "The scenery and romance express one's own feelings.Liezi Primary School
