Xu Fu's eastward journey
The "Historical Records" written by historian Sima Qian was the first to mention Xu Fu's eastward journey. Ying Zheng The survivors of Fen VI unified the world in 221 BC and became the first emperor . However, Ying Zheng, who gained the world, hoped that he could live forever.
So in 219 BC, Xu Fu wrote to Qin Shi Huang that he knew that there were three fairy mountains in the sea, Penglai, Fangzhang and Yingzhou. Immortals lived in these three fairy mountains, and he was willing to go to the fairy mountains to seek them. Bring back the art of immortality.
For this reason, after Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng saw Xu Fu's petition, he prepared thousands of boys and girls for him, and prepared three years of food and other daily necessities for him, and even farming tools were prepared for Xu Fu. It should be there, and then Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng spent huge sums of money to build ships for Xu Fu. After everything was prepared, Xu Fu was ordered to go to sea to find the art of immortality.
However, Xu Fu never found the legendary fairy mountain after going to sea for many years, let alone the gods living on the fairy mountain. In 210 BC, when Qin Shihuang Yingzheng visited Langya during his eastward tour, Xu Fucai asked why he had not found the fairy mountain.
This was because the fleet encountered a huge mackerel after going out to sea, which hindered their progress, so they did not sail far to find the fairy mountain. Therefore, Xu Fu asked Qin Shihuang for reinforcements and sent people with superb archery skills to kill the huge mackerel. Xu Fu The fleet just continued to go to sea to find the fairy mountain.
In "Historical Records", it is recorded that Xu Fu arrived in Penglai from the southeast and had a conversation with the gods, and the gods asked Xu Fu for the thousands of boys and girls he carried as gifts. It also recorded that the grains Xu Fu carried when he went to sea would be cultivated on the plains.
But after Xu Fu went to sea for the last time, he came to the vast plains. The climate here was warm and the local people were very kind, so he passed on what he had learned to the local residents, teaching them farming, fishing, hunting and even After writing, Xu Fu never came back.
No one knows Xu Fu’s final whereabouts, and there are more than one explanation given. Some people think that Xu Fu may continue sailing from the southeast, or even go to Taiwan. However, the above two theories are only one possibility, and currently the most popular What is accepted is that Xu Fu went to Japan, and this statement is also widely accepted by the Japanese. Even to commemorate Xu Fu's eastward arrival in Japan, large-scale sacrificial activities were held, which did not stop until the Meiji Restoration period. .
Guiguzi
The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period was a great period of ideological development in which a hundred schools of thought contended and a hundred flowers bloomed. Among many thinkers, Guiguzi was the most mysterious. He lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests all his life, but he had five hundred apprentices, two For more than a thousand years, strategists and legalists have respected him as a saint, strategists and strategists as his ancestor, and strategists as a sage. However, the true appearance of this mysterious Guiguzi in history has long been unclear.
Guiguzi has never personally participated in the affairs of temples in various countries in his life. However, his disciples have fully used what he has learned throughout his life in temples. It can be said that he influenced the development of and the Warring States period , and Guiguzi's title Where does it come from? It starts with the name of a valley.
Guiguzi's surname was Wang Mingxu. According to legend, there was a valley near Yangcheng during the Spring and Autumn Period. The valley had high hills, deep ravines, and lush trees. It was said that ghost fires would flash at night, and it was not suitable for human habitation at all. Therefore, it was called Called "Guigu Ridge" Guiguzi later lived in seclusion here, calling himself Mr. Guigu, so people around the world respectfully called him Guiguzi.
No one knows the specific information about Guiguzi, and there are even more divergent opinions about his place of origin. Some say he was from the Weiguo during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, some say he was from Yecheng, and some even say he was Dan. Guiguzi was born in the city of , and his exact birthplace is not clearly recorded in history books. Guiguzi can be regarded as the most mysterious figure in the Warring States and even Chinese history, and his legend has been circulated.
His four most proud disciples are Pang Juan, Sun Bin, Su Qin, and Zhang Yi. They are all famous military strategists and strategists during the Warring States period. Zhang Yi united all the countries to worship him as the prime minister of the Qin State. Su Qin lobbied all the countries to join forces to fight against Qin, which made the Qin State dare not move Hangu Pass for fifteen years. Sun Bin, who laid the foundation for the hegemony of the Qi State, can be said to be these people. It influenced the entire Warring States period and was all-powerful. As their master, Gui Guzi's wisdom is far beyond that of ordinary people.
It is difficult for such a person who is almost close to God not to be regarded as a fictional character. In fact, some legends about Guiguzi may be fictional, but Guiguzi himself did exist in history, but His specific information is not very clearly recorded in history books, so no one knows his final return.
Taoist Laozi
Taoist Laozi, whose surname is Li, whose name is Er, and whose courtesy name is Dan. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, "Lao" and "Li" had the same pronunciation, so he was given the title Laozi. Laozi was the founder of the Taoist school in the Spring and Autumn Period. In philosophy, Laozi advocated governing by doing nothing.
The social background at that time The feudal system was dismantled, princes fought for hegemony, annexed each other, and wars continued. The biggest victims of the war were the common people, who lived in dire straits. The society was in a period of great change. In order to adapt to the new situation, The social changes have triggered the thinking of various factions and formed a situation of contention among a hundred schools of thought.
And Laozi believes that the most fundamental cause of social unrest is the struggle for interests. This is because he has witnessed the suffering in the world, is very distressed, so he opposes war and wants to build an utopia with a small country and few people, and Laozi combined his own Thought, Laozi has established a complete philosophical system with Tao as the core. Laozi's thoughts contain rich wisdom and are an effective way to solve life problems.
"Tao Te Ching", as the crystallization of Laozi's thought and wisdom, once had such a legend. I once served as an official in the Zhou Dynasty . When I got old, I wanted to retire. When I passed by Hangu Pass, the guard of Hangu Pass heard that I was going to pass by, so I prepared various gifts for me. When I arrived, After passing Hangu Pass, the general asked Laozi for some articles as a souvenir. In the end, Laozi could not refuse his kindness and left the "Tao Te Ching". Later, the "Tao Te Ching" was widely circulated in society.
In the excellent traditional culture of the Chinese nation, Laozi's thoughts are dazzling, and the "Tao Te Ching" is extensive and subtle. As Mr. Lu Xun said: If you don't read the book "Laozi", you won't know Chinese culture and you won't know the true meaning of life. Laozi's thoughts embody the wisdom of China and the thinking of the Chinese people, and have a positive impact on future generations. It is a culture with unique charm and exudes the light of wisdom.
But just after Lao Tzu left the "Tao Te Ching", his whereabouts disappeared. No one knew where Lao Tzu went, and there were no history books recording the location of Lao Tzu's seclusion. As a result, there were many theories. Some people said that Lao Tzu died. In the Qin State, some people said that Laozi lived in seclusion in Guangyang Mountain. Others said that Laozi did not die but went to the Western Regions and educated the people in the Western Regions.

When he first ascended the throne, he was young and vigorous, and began to cut down the vassal kings across the country before he had a firm foundation.
After a period of vassal reduction, some of the vassal kings were demoted to common people by Zhu Yunwen, and some were forced to death by Zhu Yunwen's vassal reduction. Among the many vassal kings, the Yan King Zhu Di who was stationed in Beiping was the most powerful, so Zhu Yunwen He did not dare to act rashly against his fourth uncle, so he could only look for opportunities to attack King Zhu Di of Yan.
At this time, King Zhu Di of Yan also knew that Emperor Jianwen's plan to cut down the vassal would be against him sooner or later, so he accepted Yao Guangxiao 's opinion that instead of waiting for death, it was better to take the initiative.
