What made Chairman Mao escape danger again?
As we all know, Chairman Mao was a firm materialist atheist throughout his life. This time, he asked the Buddha on Mount Wutai, which shocked the temple abbot: Auspicious people will have their own appearance!
Why did Chairman Mao go to Mount Wutai? What kind of story happened in Wutai Mountain?
In the spring of 1948, Chiang Kai-shek's regime was about to collapse, and the War of Liberation was about to usher in the eve of a strategic decisive battle.
Chairman Mao led Premier Zhou, Ren Bishi and others to leave northern Shaanxi, cross the Yellow River to the east, cross Shanxi, and go to Xibaipo to meet with the Central Working Committee that has already entered the local area.
The east bank of the Yellow River was the Liberated Area of Jinsui and the residence of the Rear Committee of the CPC Central Committee at that time.
At that time, the secretary of the Rear Committee of the CPC Central Committee was Ye Jianying. Considering that Chairman Mao and his party were long and safe, he gave a US-made jeep seized from the Kuomintang army to Chairman Mao for transfer.
After a brief rest at Ye Jianying's army, Chairman Mao went to visit Mafu Hou Dengke before leaving.
This groom, who is older than Chairman Mao, has been working diligently to feed the chairman's horses, and has ensured Chairman Mao's physical strength and safety in the difficult transition. Hearing that the Chairman was about to transfer to the vehicle, Hou Dengke was reluctant to leave.
Chairman Mao said to him, "You are old, just ride on the old green horse. We will see you at Jinchaji ."
Hou Dengke held the Chairman's hand in tears, "Don't worry, Chairman, I can still leave."
Then, Chairman Mao and his party detoured Mount Wutai, planning to contact the religious community to understand their views on the Communist revolution.
Wutai Mountain is a famous mountain of Chinese Buddhism, with a long history and a profound culture. During the Anti-Japanese War, the monks in Mount Wutai formed the Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Force and went down the mountain to fight, making them famous , Sanjin .
Hongmen Rock is located on the north side of Mount Wutai. It is the only way to get to Mount Wutai. It is more than 2,000 meters above sea level and is steep and steep.
Chairman Mao's convoy was passing here, and the wind and snow were roaring and the cold was extremely cold. The convoy was moving forward in the winding mountain road.
Just as it was about to pass through Hongmen Rock, Chairman Mao's car suddenly stopped. The soldiers cleared the snow while pushing the car forward with human power, and finally pushed the car up the high slope.
But at this moment, the vehicle suddenly became uncontrolled and glided straight towards the cliff on the side of the road. At this time, everyone was panicked.
Fortunately, the driver took decisive measures, braked immediately, and used all his strength to pull the brake, and braked a car with the front wheel already on the edge of the cliff. Although
was in danger, the driver was also shocked and sweated. Chairman Mao was sitting behind him!
He recovered and turned to the chairman and said,
"Chairman, you can get off the bus."
Unexpectedly, Chairman Mao was not panicked at all, as stable as Mount Tai, and said to the driver kindly,
"Little boy, don't be afraid!"
Chairman Mao has led the Autumn Harvest Uprising in 1927, to the later Long March , the War of Resistance Against Japan, and to today's War of Liberation, many bullets and rains, and many difficulties and obstacles, he can always be as stable as Mount Tai and turn danger into a bargain.
As Chairman Mao’s words writes: Let the wind blow and waves blow, it is better than walking in the garden.
After a while, with everyone working together, they pulled the vehicle back to the middle of the road and continued to move forward.
Chairman Mao looked at the ancient pass wrapped in silver outside the car window and said to the entourage,
"This snow symbolizes the last struggle of the Jiang family dynasty. Once the heavy snow stops, the people's spring is coming!"
There is an ancient temple on Mount Wutai, named Tayuan Temple , located in Taihuai Town .
Chairman Mao stood in front of the temple, full of interest, looking around, snowy, looking up, the peaks were staggered. He immediately proposed to Premier Zhou, Ren Bishi and others to stay here for one night.
The abbot of the temple heard that the distinguished guests came and went out to greet them. The chairman pointed to a couplet in front of the abbot's courtyard, "Please don't beat the birds in the spring, my son is waiting for his mother to return in the court." He asked the abbot who made this work.
great poets of the Tang Dynasty and advocates of the new Yuefu movement Bai Juyi has a poem saying: Who says that the lives of all beings are small, and the flesh is the same as the skin. I advise you not to hit the birds on the branches, and your son is looking for his mother to return in the court.
This link is used for this.
Abbot replied: What I did.
Chairman repeatedly praised the abbot's calligraphy for its vigorous and simple style, and said to the entourage,
"We want to publicize this couplet to the masses, but our starting point is not the Buddhist "release of animals", but the promotion is from the starting point of protecting Yibi ."
That night, the abbot invited Chairman Mao and his party to drink vegetarian tea, discuss Buddhism, and talk about allusions. Chairman Mao read a lot of books throughout his life and was able to learn about literature and history, which greatly amazes the abbot.
"The donor also read Buddhist scriptures?" the abbot of asked curiously.
"I am an atheist, but Buddhism and our Communists have one thing in common, all for the purpose of saving the people."
abbot was amazed. He didn't know that the person in front of him was Mao Zedong who wanted to save the people of the world.
Chairman Mao has always paid great attention to Buddhism.
Whether it is the social practice in youth or the concern about the development of Buddhism and the construction of Buddhist talents after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Chairman Mao has always understood Buddhism from the perspective of a materialist and revolutionary, and guided Buddhism to adapt to socialist society .
1956, Chinese Buddhist Academy was established under the care of Chairman Mao. He inspired Buddhist masters to cultivate a new generation of knowledgeable monks.
Chairman Mao also asked the abbot Lu Zhishen and Yang Wulang's history and legends of becoming a monk in Mount Wutai, and said humorously,
"During the War of Resistance Against Japan, I said one sentence: Mount Wutai, Mount Wutai, there was Lu Zhishen in front, and now there is Nie Rongzhen!"
caused Premier Zhou and Ren Bishi to laugh.
Nie Rongzhen was one of the top ten marshals of the Republic. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Nie Rongzhen established the Jin-Cha-Hebei Anti-Japanese Base Area near Mount Wutai, effectively mobilizing the masses to fight against Japan, which made the Japanese invaders frightened.
Chairman Mao praised him as the "new Lu Zhishen". The next day, the abbot led Chairman Mao and his party to visit the temple. A huge Buddha bell attracted the interest of the Chairman. The little monk next to them said to them: This bell weighs ten thousand pounds.
Chairman Mao smiled and corrected: "The little master said it was wrong. To be precise, this bell is 9,999 and a half pounds."
Abbot smiled and said: "The donor is indeed knowledgeable. When this bell was cast, in order to avoid the emperor's "Long Live the Emperor" and get "Ten Thousands", he cast half a pound less."
Chairman Mao said, "The Emperor of China has already No more, but this bell is still alive! "
Abbot immediately asked the chairman to ring the bell, and he said: "The donor came here without hesitation. When hitting this bell, it will resound throughout the world, the sound shook the nine provinces, and add glory to our temple!" Chairman
said to Premier Zhou, "Then let's go together!"
two people rang bronze bell , and the bell sounded grandly and distant, resounding throughout Wutai Mountain.
In the Buddhist tradition, the Buddha bell is one of the most representative ritual instruments .
Buddha bell contains multiple meanings, such as retribution, wisdom, fear and absolving troubles, and enlightenment of sentient beings. There are also Buddhist scriptures that knocking on the Buddha bell can "get rid of suffering at all times", which means that it can help those suffering to obtain relief and liberation.
The Chinese nation has been bullied since the late Qing Dynasty and the people live in dire straits.
The historical task of saving the Chinese people and leading the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation fell on the Communists and Chairman Mao. Hardships and hardships will bring you success.
The loud bell indicates that a new era for the Chinese nation is coming soon and the Chinese people are about to stand up.
Abbot also accompanied Chairman Mao to visit the Manjushri Hall. In the hall, Chairman Mao saw several volumes of the broken Tripitaka, which was very regretful.
Chairman Mao has loved reading since he was a child and also likes to collect books. Whether it was the marching and fighting on the Long March or the planning of Yan'an period, Chairman Mao carried a large number of books with him and even lined up his bedside.
"Buddhist loves scriptures as if they are alive, and it is a pity to ruin them like this."
abbot explained on the side that this was caused by the destruction of the temple by the Japanese army during the Anti-Japanese War.
Not only were these scriptures that had been around for a hundred years been destroyed, but many Buddha statues in the Buddhist temple bell were also destroyed.
He led Chairman Mao to the four heavenly kings, "These Buddha statues were all smashed into holes, the devils committed evil."
"Although we have driven away Japanese imperialism, the restoration of cultural relics and temples must be carried out quickly. When the revolution is victorious, the general public must come to visit and browse." He advised the local cadres who came with him.
This reminds Chairman Mao of the Anti-Japanese War. During the Anti-Japanese War, Chiang Kai-shek burned a big fire in Changsha in order to block the Japanese army, and all the buildings in Changsha’s old city were destroyed, which was heartbreaking.
Therefore, whether in the revolutionary period or after the founding of the People's Republic of China, cultural relics protection is a task that Chairman Mao focused on.
During the Pingjin Battle , the Chairman repeatedly informed the frontline that cultural relics and ancient city should be protected and protected. Ten days after the founding ceremony of
, the central government organized a cultural relic collection campaign with the rescue of cultural relics as the starting point, and Chairman Mao took the lead in donating.
All across the country, the party, government, military and civilians, have participated, setting off a wave of finding and donating cultural relics. A large number of cultural relics were handed over to cultural relics management institutions, laying the foundation for the development of cultural relics and museums in New China.
and his group entered the hall again. The abbot invited the chairman to ask for a visa. Chairman
is a staunch atheist, and he always believes that only someone can save himself. As the Internationale sang: There is no god or emperor, it depends entirely on ourselves. Therefore, he never asked the Buddha for his whole life and asked for a visa.
However, when he was a child, he was taken to the Bodhisattva by his mother once.
Chairman Mao was born in a rich peasant family in Chong, Shaoshan, Hunan. His mother is Wen Qimei. When the chairman was 5 years old, Wen Qimei took him to worship a Guanyin stone in Shaoshan, and regarded him as the "Shi Ganniang". Since the chairman was the third child, he called him "Shi Sanyazi".
Later, when meeting foreign guests in Xibaipo, the foreign guests asked Chairman Mao why there were two names "Mao Zedong" and "Mao Runzhi". The Chairman joked with them, "I have a third name, you don't know, and I won't tell you." The third name of
is "Shi Sanyizi".
Today, Chairman Mao made an exception and asked for a sign when he saw the abbot's enthusiasm.
Chairman picked up the sign and shook it, and pulled it casually, and it turned out to be a sign. Seeing this, the abbot hurriedly said: "I think the donor is extraordinary, and auspicious people will have their own appearance. The donor's journey will definitely be safe and unlucky, and it will be a good luck in the future."
Chairman Mao smiled and said: "We Communists respect Buddhism and Buddhism, but do not believe in Buddhism. They have always been materialistic atheism. For me personally, this life has been tortuous and ups and downs, and it has been a lucky draw to get to this day. It is not a good luck, let alone a good luck."
entourage also mentioned the dangers that occurred when we went to Mount Wutai to the abbot.
Abbot smiled and said, "The donor has gone through hardships, but he is so proud. He takes the weight easily, which means you are a truly open-minded person, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people."
Chairman Mao said modestly: "The abbot has been awarded. But I believe that the future of our Communists and the Chinese revolution must be very good!"
Chairman Mao was a firm materialist all his life, and this was the only time he took the initiative to ask for a visa in his life.
Since Chiang Kai-shek betrayed the revolution in 1927, there have been countless "dangerous situations" that have occurred in the Communist Party of China and the Chinese revolution. But every time, it is precisely because of the escort of a great man like Chairman Mao that the revolution is on the eve of victory.
Chairman walked out of the temple and looked at the peaks with Premier Zhou and others, feeling moved. In front of him, a blueprint for New China is slowly unfolding.
What kind of "dangerous situation" will the upcoming decisive battle with Chiang Kai-shek go through? What kind of "dangerous situations" may the Chinese Communist Party, which is about to move towards victory and ruling status , experience in the future? How will he and his comrades face it?
These questions came to my mind for a while. But Chairman Mao always firmly believes that only by relying on the people can the Communist Party of China not be afraid of any "dangerous situation". It is useless to ask Buddha and ask for hexagrams, the people are the masters of history.
He thinks so and does the same.
bid farewell to the temple, Chairman Mao and his party came to the street to visit the local people. He bought a pack of Hademen cigarettes from an old man who bought cigarettes and asked: "Membersman, is the business good?"
The old man sipped Shanxi dialect said to him: "Okay, okay, the business is good."
Chairman Mao took apart the cigarette and handed one to the old man. The old man hurriedly thanked him and took a closer look, "Hey?" Why does this person look so familiar?
Chairman Mao then said to him: "Produce well, do business well, and the good days for the people are coming soon."
Chairman Mao's words actually have profound meaning. Before coming to Wutai Mountain, Chairman
listened to reports from all parties on the land reform situation, conducted extensive investigations, and asked local governments to carry out rectification.
Complete land reform, protect and develop production. This is not only the Communist Party’s commitment to the people of the liberated areas, but also a valuable pioneering experience in the future construction of socialism in New China and .
After Chairman Mao finished greetings with the old man, he took his group to visit elsewhere.
Looking at Chairman Mao’s back as he left, the old man suddenly woke up and slapped his forehead: "My eyes! Isn’t this our great savior Chairman Mao!"
The old man is Dong Fucai. This meeting with Chairman Mao has become his lifelong pride.
After leaving Mount Wutai, Chairman Mao and his team rushed to Xibaipo without stopping.
At the Second Plenary Session of the Seventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China held soon, Chairman Mao issued a historical call to win national victory and build a new China.
From Mount Wutai to Xibaipo, and then to Beijing City , Chairman Mao and the first generation of Chinese Communists opened a new future for the Chinese nation in such a twists and turns.
Today’s Wutai Mountain is harmonious and peaceful, and the people are happy.
In order to commemorate this history and commemorate the revolutionary struggle history of Chairman Mao and the first generation of Chinese Communists in Mount Wutai, Chairman Mao’s Road House was built on Mount Wutai. There is a screen wall in the museum, with Chairman Mao’s inscription written on it:
From the establishment of Mount Wutai in Shanxi to the establishment of Mount Wutai in the whole country, we strive for the final victory.
