Chapter 661(1/2)
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Zhang Zhonghua and the Lou family went out early. They were waiting for a yacht to sail towards Tseung Kwan O, chatting and laughing. They were going to go to the Emei Clan and Wu-Tang Clan in Hua Hollywood.
Incense.
If they really can’t go to Emei Wudang, they can go to the high-end imitation ones here, and there are other high-end imitation Taoist temples. You can also go and see them. Isn’t it strange that there are many gods?
There has always been this custom on Hong Kong Island. In the early morning, people will line up in front of Wong Tai Sin Temple to prepare the incense sticks.
There have been fights among Hong Kong residents competing for the first incense stick. Zhang Zhonghua has no interest in going to the crowded place, so he should come to his own territory.
"Ahua, what's going on with the Hullywood you created?"
Father Lou asked.
"It will probably be completed in just half a year. It will be relatively easy for those small sects to establish their strongholds."
Zhang Zhonghua said.
"The Emei Sect's place is really good. It's almost becoming a dojo for Samantabhadra Bodhisattva. It would be great if it could be a dojo for Guanyin Bodhisattva."
"Emei, Wudang, and the Quanzhen Sect all built good buildings, and they were all scaled down according to the real dojos, and the scriptures were also specially copied.
In the future, even when filming movies, it will be more realistic, and when not filming, this place can also be turned into a tourist attraction."
"I heard that Shaw Brothers built a Mazu statue on Taohua Island. There were many sects built there, and many inns were built on the island. But who is the real founder of Taoism? Is it Lao Tzu or Zhang Daoling?
ah?"
Lou Xiao'e asked.
"Hahaha, Sister Xiao'e, the question you asked is completely wrong. I and Zhang Daoling are completely different, almost unrelated people.
As for me, my surname is Li Ming'er, with the courtesy name Dan and Boyang. I was born in the late Spring and Autumn Period in Ku County, Chu State, around 571 BC. I once served as Zhu Xia Shi of the Zhou Dynasty, managing classics and books, which was quite a feat.
Yu, the director of the National Library, was the predecessor of Confucius, and Confucius once asked him for courtesy.
Lao Tzu is the founder of the Taoist school, and Taoism is one of the hundreds of schools of thought. Later, Lao Tzu was revered as the ancestor by Taoism and was called the "Tai Shang Lao Jun". Although it cannot be said that he has nothing to do with Taoism, the real relationship is not big.
Zhang Daoling, who was born in Pei State of the Eastern Han Dynasty in 34 AD, was well versed in the Five Classics. He later practiced Taoism in Dayi, Sichuan, and later founded Tianshi Taoism, calling himself "Tai Qing Xuanyuan". He can be regarded as the founder of Taoism based on Laozi's Taoist thoughts.
Therefore, it can be concluded that Laozi is the founder of Taoism, not Taoism, and the real founder of Taoism is Zhang Daoling.
Laozi is the author of the "Tao Te Ching". He is a thinker, educator, litterateur, philosopher, founder and main representative of the Taoist school. He is also known as "Laozi and Zhuangzi" together with Zhuangzi. In the Tang Dynasty, he was posthumously given the surname Li.
Ancestor. He was once listed as a world cultural celebrity, one of the world's 100 historical celebrities, and one of the ten most influential educators in Chinese history.
The founders of Taoism by Zhang Daoling were Taoist priests who studied the Eight Diagrams of the Book of Changes. Although they also inherited some Taoist ideas, they are still a sect and are related to the Taoist school, but their suggestions are not big."
Zhang Zhonghua explained.
Soon everyone came to Hua Hollywood talking and laughing, but the scene in front of them made everyone a little stunned. They saw crowds of people coming to offer incense everywhere, which was not much different from Wong Tai Sin.
"Ahua, why are there so many people in your Hollywood? These people come here to offer incense on the first day of the Lunar New Year, right? Why did they come here to offer incense? Shouldn't they be at Hu Huang Daxian's place?
?”
Lou's mother asked in surprise.
Zhang Zhonghua, like everyone else, was also confused and dumbfounded. Isn't this a movie set and a place for tourism? Why are everyone here to offer incense? Is this the wrong place?
"No, I don't know what's going on. Moreover, this place has not been officially opened yet. There are still many construction sites that will start construction in a few days. What will happen to the next project?"
Zhang Zhonghua said very helplessly.
"No matter what, let's go up and take a look first. Although Hong Kong Island is coastal, the weather is relatively dry now, so fire prevention measures must be taken."
Lou Xiao'e said.
Zhang Zhonghua and a group of others got out of the car and walked towards the foot of the mountain. They saw many nearby villagers and citizens of Kowloon driving to Hualingya. The baskets they carried were filled with incense, candles, tributes and the like.
I saw that they really came here to offer incense and not to travel. Did they make a mistake? The places of interest here are all fake and highly imitated.
"Hello Zhang Sheng, Lou Sheng, Mrs. Lou, Miss Lou..."
Many people saw Zhang Zhonghua and the Lou family greeting each other warmly, and everyone in Zhang Zhonghua also responded, and then distributed some generous gifts. He felt that the gifts he brought today might not be enough. If he had known more,
Have some preparations.
"Everyone, why did you come here to burn incense? This is a movie set."
Lou Xiao'e asked.
"We only knew about this place after watching "Swordsman". We saw on TV that there are buildings like the Emei Sect, Wudang Sect, Shaolin Temple, etc. They are all famous sects, so we came here in the first year of junior high school.
We worship gods and Buddhas here, but we don’t worship anywhere, and there are many places where we can worship.”
A citizen said with a smile.
"Yes, there is a Buddha and a Tao here, and it is convenient to worship."
"I'm going to go to Shaolin first and then Wudang."
Zhang Zhonghua looked at the enthusiastic citizens and always felt that something was wrong. Will Shaolin Temple sue him for infringement in the future?
In the end, I can only helplessly give a few words to the citizens: "Everyone can come here to burn incense, but be careful when using fire outdoors. Dry weather can easily cause fires. There are a lot of wooden structures in the buildings here, which can be easily ignited. It will be fine if the house is burned.
Son, it would be bad if you hurt someone."
"I understand, don't worry Zhang Sheng."

"Sheng Zhang, what does 'Chllywood' here mean? How do you set up an English brand?"
"The 'Chllywood' translated into Chinese means Hua Hollywood. When combined with the film and television base at the foot of the mountain, it will become the complete Chllywood. It is the benchmark for America's Hollywood and is preparing to build the world's largest film and television base.
of."
Zhang Zhonghua explained to everyone that "Hollywood" is translated into Cantonese as "Hollywood" and translated into Yanxia Chinese as "Hollywood".
After chatting with the villagers for a while, Zhang Zhonghua and his party continued walking inside, and the person in charge here also hurried over.
"Zhang Sheng, I'm sorry, I'm really too busy. At around five o'clock this morning, some villagers came here to offer incense, and we temporarily decided to let those villagers go up the mountain.
However, I have temporarily confiscated their lighters and matches and prepared a safe fire source for them.
Also, there are more and more people now, and the resting staff have been notified to come here."
"Yes, you did a great job. Thank you for your hard work. Everyone is considered to have worked overtime and will be paid overtime pay according to the highest standards."
Zhang Zhonghua praised the person in charge.
After encouraging the person in charge, Zhang Zhonghua led everyone up the mountain. On their way up, many citizens began to walk down the mountain. When they passed by Zhang Zhonghua, they all greeted Zhang Zhonghua, making Zhang Zhonghua sigh.
That's quite a lot.
Everyone first came to the Wudang Sect. The Taoist priests in the Taoist temple had already finished their morning classes and were holding a grand sacrificial and blessing ceremony. Many citizens were watching around.
"Uncle Ahua, are these Taoist priests real? That old Taoist priest is like the old immortal in the painting book. Well, he is full of immortal energy."
Lou Xiaobao said with a smile.
"Ahua, where did you find these Taoist priests here? They look like real Taoist priests?"
Lou Xiao'e asked.
"Yes, it's not like those fake Taoist priests who are bluffing and cheating. Instead, I feel like I have the true Taoism."
Lou's mother was also a little curious.
"Aunt Tan, Sister Xiao'e, these Taoist priests are all from the mainland. That one is an old Taoist priest. When he was young, he took his disciples to the battlefield and killed many Japanese Japanese devils. He is definitely Taoist.
Completely true.”
Zhang Zhonghua explained to everyone.
"These are serious old heroes. Since they are here, you must treat them well."
Lou's mother sighed.
"Don't worry, Aunt Tan. Don't you know that I will never treat them badly? Moreover, they, true Taoist priests, are used to practicing alone. They don't have high requirements for material life. They only have light tea and light meals every day. The rest of the time is spent practicing.
, let alone these Taoist priests on the mountain, they can afford to raise them twice as much."
Zhang Zhonghua explained.
In his previous life, he heard that when the stock market was at its peak, monks and nuns from many temples and nunneries on Hong Kong Island also went to the stock market to speculate in stocks.
He felt that the monks here must be strictly managed, so as not to make this place a mess and unsightly.
Everyone then came to the Emei Sect. Under the 18-meter-tall golden statue of Samantabhadra in all directions, more than hundreds of citizens knelt on the ground to pray. A lot of incense was densely placed on the incense burner in front of the golden statue.
"This Samantabhadra Bodhisattva of the Ten Directions is truly majestic and sacred."
Lou's mother said.
"Of course, I donated a lot of gold to plate Samantabhadra's body with gold..."
At this time, Father Lou next to him said with a smile.
"Yes, if you build a statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva, you should also gild the body of Guanyin Bodhisattva."
Lou's mother praised.
Everyone then started wandering around the Emei Sect. The citizens of the Emei Sect alone were very crowded and extremely crowded. The nuns were also doing praying activities, and the incense was very prosperous.
