People in the Republic of China start from building a top power

If there is no accident, as early as ten days ago, the leaders of Taoism should have met first to discuss this poetry conference.

Otherwise, their Taoist temples are scattered all over the country, and it is impossible to spend a lot of effort to meet temporarily and then come to Hangzhou together.

This is also normal, this poetry conference is actually a cultural exchange between Confucianism and Taoism, and Taoism has been relatively declining in recent years, those Taoists (ajed) will naturally attach great importance to this gathering.

After all, this is also an opportunity for the Taoist sect to regain its vitality.

"Soon-"

Not long after, there were some bangs in the sky, and several planes landed one after another.

When the plane came to a complete stop, many people present subconsciously looked up.

I saw that as the doors of several planes were opened, a group of people in Taoist robes came down one after another.

When Zhao Pu and others saw it, they hurried up to greet him in person.

In front, about 20 or so elders are coming, followed by their respective boys.

When many people present saw them get off the plane, they couldn't help being silent.

For a while, the scene that was full of hustle and bustle just now suddenly fell silent.

Those who came to greet them all had expressions of disbelief or a sigh of relief.

Even when Zhao Pu and others went up to meet them, they were a little surprised.

Because everyone found that most of the Taoist robes on these Taoist priests were worn out, and all the Taoist robes had already been washed white, and there were some broken lines in the corners.

Not only that, these Taoist robes of theirs are more or less patched or stitched with fine stitches.

This is why everyone was silent and surprised.

These Taoist people, just from the appearance of their clothes, are full of a strong sense of poverty.

At this time, Zhao Pu was dressed in an e-crown belt, a long robe with big sleeves, and he was dressed in an orthodox Hanfu. This was specially prepared by him to highlight the meaning of this cultural exchange and call on literati and Taoists to revive traditional culture.

When the two sides approached, Zhao Pu looked solemn and saluted with authentic Confucian etiquette.

"Zhao Pu, on behalf of everyone in the literary world, welcomes all Taoist priests to Hangzhou to participate in this West Lake Poetry Fair."

Seeing this, all the Taoist priests made a sign to show their respect.

Afterwards, a person from the Taoist school walked out, and Jishou said, "Infinite Heavenly Venerable! The poor Taoist is the Taoist from Shanfuqing, Laojun, Henan."

Zhao Pu sized him up slightly, and returned the salute again.

This Daoist Fuqing was wearing a tattered Taoist robe, no different from other Taoist priests, but his face was bright and energetic, and his face was even more childlike, with a clear and strange appearance and an outstanding temperament.

Obviously, Taoist Fuqing should be the head of the Taoist representatives who came this time.

After Daoist Fuqing saluted, he said in a slow voice: "It is a great honor for everyone in my Taoist sect to be invited by all the gentlemen to come to the West Lake Poetry Fair today.

This is a grand event in the literary world, and it is also the gospel of my Taoist school. I would like to take the liberty of saying that on behalf of thousands of Taoist priests, I would like to thank you gentlemen for your kindness. "

Saying that, Daoist Fuqing bowed.

Behind him, many Taoist priests also bowed.

"We thank you gentlemen for your cooperation."

"This...absolutely not! Daoist priests, get up quickly, how can I wait for this great gift!"

Seeing this, Zhao Pu and others hurried forward and helped everyone up.

There is no distinction between Taoism and the literary world. Although these people are dressed in shabby clothes, their status is not low.

What's more, they came here on behalf of Taoism this time, and their status is considered to be equal to those of them.

How can this be the case among peers.

All the Taoist priests insisted on bowing and saluting before getting up.

Zhao Pu paid tribute to Daoist Fuqing: "What is the Daoist doing? You are all invited here, and we are here for cultural exchange, so why do you have to salute like this!"

Daoist Fuqing's expression remained unchanged: "You gentlemen are seniors in the literary world, and you also support my Taoist school. Although it is an exchange, the etiquette cannot be discarded."

Saying that, Daoist Fuqing looked back at the boy.

The boy understood and held a brocade box.

Daoist Fuqing took the brocade box and opened it in front of Zhao Pu.

Zhao Pu looked and saw more than ten pieces of jade neatly placed among them.

He couldn't help asking: "What does the Taoist priest mean?"

Daoist Fuqing held the brocade box in one hand, and gently stroked each piece of jade with the other.

At this moment, a strong look of reminiscence appeared on his face.

He looked at Zhao Pu and the others, and said with a little humility: "Gentlemen, these jade jades are the longevity jades in our Taoism.

In recent years, Taoism has not been prosperous, and I have nothing to offer, and I don't have any congratulatory gifts.

These Jujubes of Longevity can be regarded as a little thought from my Taoist sect. As a congratulatory gift for this West Lake Poetry Fair, I also thank you gentlemen for your support and cooperation, and please don't be disgusted. "

Saying that, Daoist Fuqing closed the brocade box and gave it to Zhao Pu with both hands.

Zhao Pu took it with both hands, with an extremely solemn expression.

This is the intention of the Taoist school. On this occasion, he can't pretend to refuse, otherwise it would be equivalent to rejecting the Taoist school.

Chapter 559: Confucianism and Taoism merge

Zhao Pu took a box of Jade Jue from Daoist Fuqing with both hands.

This can be regarded as a kind of spiritual representative of Taoism in various places, or a kind of inheritance.

Seeing Zhao Pu accepting the gift, Taoist Master Fuqing showed relief on his face.

After Zhao Pu took the brocade box, he opened it.

He looked at the neatly arranged jades, and couldn't help but gently stroked the edge of the box, his eyes kept wandering over those jades.

Looking up at the Taoist priests in front of him, Zhao Pu said emotionally: "I have heard that in recent years the life of the Daoist sect has been difficult, and I also heard that you can only use these jades to pawn in the difficult days of your livelihood. difficulties.

After each recovery of vitality, the Taoist disciples will work harder and work hard to make money in exchange for Yu Jue.

This is the pillar of your Daoist sect, such a gift is really too precious! "

Zhao Pu has a little understanding of the situation on the Taoist side, and also knows what these jades mean to them~.

Although the value of these jades is not high, they are all inherited from the ancestors of various generations of Taoism, and they have been used by them to tide over difficulties in recent years-the savior.

Daoist Fuqing was able to present this object to himself, which shows that the Daoist sect attaches great importance to this grand event.

At this time, Taoist Priest Qingxu of Zhongnan Mountain said: "Although jade jades are of some value, they are nothing more than some vulgar things, not brought with you when you are born, not taken away when you die, just a small gift.

Mr. Zhao is highly respected, so why should he take it to heart. "

"What Taoist Master Qingxu said is absolutely true."

Daoist Fuqing couldn't help but nodded.

"Sir, you don't have to take it so seriously. Yujue is just something outside of your body. Today's grand event is attended by all the literary figures from all over the world. I just hope that everyone will not dislike the vulgar gifts."

Saying that, Daoist Fuqing sighed lightly, with a trace of loneliness on his face.

"There are a few gentlemen in the literary world today, and they will definitely develop brilliantly. Unlike my Taoist school, after the ancestors pass away, only me and other unfilial children are left as representatives.

I think back then, how powerful the Taoist sect was and how prosperous the scene was, but it was passed on to my generation, but it ended up lonely and destitute.

The incense on the mountain is not in vain, and the disciples under the sect are not happy. When it is difficult, they can only take out the jade to pawn to make a living. It is really a shame to the patriarch. "

"Yes."

"I am ashamed to face all the patriarchs."

"My younger brother, how unworthy!"

Daoist Fuqing's words caused all the priests behind him to cry secretly.

Taoist incense has been prosperous in all dynasties. Even after several twists and turns, when it is inevitable to be lonely, they will not rely on pawning the belongings of the ancestors to make a living.

In their generation, they are so destitute!

Normal times are fine, and Taoist disciples can still rely on their own means to survive, even if they farm by themselves.

However, in case of war or other disturbances, the disciples can only go out and pawn these jades for money. A piece of jade is the life-saving straw for their entire sect to survive!

Zhao Zhen was also touched when he heard the words.

But the downfall of Taoism to this point is not because of the unworthy disciples.

Zhao Zhen reassured him: "You don't have to blame yourself, the Taoists are down and down, it's not your fault.

The Taoist sect can have today's situation, it can only be blamed on the previous dynasty's promotion of Buddhism and restraint of Taoism, and the officials of the former court did not think about making progress, and did not give the Taoist sect the slightest support. They only knew how to flatter the emperor and follow the evil!

This makes the Taoist school down, the incense is not prosperous, and the sect is not prosperous. "

"Ugh!"

The Taoist priests present sighed again when they heard the words.

Zhao Pu's words really touched their hearts.

Seeing this, Zhao Pu said again: "Taoism is my native religion, one of the roots of Chinese culture, and an inseparable part of my Chinese culture.

Speaking of which, Confucianism can exist today thanks to Taoism.

In the previous dynasties, whenever Confucianism deviated from its original intention, Taoism would stand up in time to integrate Confucianism and Taoism, trace the original source of Confucianism, and support the righteous way.

But only the previous dynasty wantonly suppressed Taoism in order to squeeze the people, and corrupted our Confucianism, which made Taoism fall into today's situation. "

"What Mr. said is that everything is due to the ignorance of the previous dynasty. But this year's grand meeting is coming soon. You gentlemen are generous and support me. I will live up to your expectations and the expectations of thousands of disciples in the Taoist sect. Cherish the opportunity and revitalize the Taoist school again , revitalize culture."

Fuqing Daochang Jishou saluted with a very respectful attitude.

The priests behind him also saluted solemnly.

This poetry meeting is a rare opportunity for him to rise up as a Taoist, and among them, the invitation of Zhao Pu, Shao Wen and other literary masters naturally played an absolute role.

Otherwise, they could have turned this poetry meeting into a meeting in the literary world, so how could it be their Taoist turn to come?

In that case, if the Taoists want to regain their vitality, they don't know when they will have to wait.

After some exchanges, Zhao Pu stopped exchanging greetings.

These priests have been exhausted all the way and need a good rest.

So Zhao Pu personally led the crowd to take the car.

"Father priests, come with me. We have already prepared food and accommodation for you. Everyone, go and rest first. After staying for a few days, we will discuss the matter of the poetry conference together."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhao, for your hospitality. I'm sorry."

The Taoist priests headed by Taoist Fuqing saluted and thanked each other. They followed Zhao Pu and Zhao Zhen in the car and left to rest and eat.

……

The first month of this year seems destined not to be peaceful.

During this period of time after the year, major events across the country are constantly being staged.

Just as Hangzhou was preparing for the West Lake Poetry Fair, people from all over the country, especially farmers and landlords, were also busy.

As the old saying goes, the plan for a year lies in spring.

The first month is the beginning of spring. At this time, the weather gets warmer, everything starts to recover, and the people also enter the season of farming.

The approach of the Lantern Festival not only means the official end of the New Year, but also means that the spring plowing in various places will start one after another!

Today, countless people across the country are devoted to fertile farming, especially in the North China Plain, Jianghan Plain, and Nanyang Basin, which are rich and fertile, and are even more busy with farming.

These places have always been important grain-producing areas in the country, with fertile land and thousands of miles of fertile fields.

Most of the people living here live by farming.

Now it's the season of spring plowing, and these places have shown a scene of spring plowing in full swing early on.

People began to renovate the land, loosen the soil and weed, and turn over the hard land that had been frozen for the winter to sow seeds and cultivate crops later.
