I just returned from Handan and have just arrived home. I didn’t have time to update today... I encountered a few fun things in Handan. I came back to add them to the content and share with you. I will update a chapter with an extra chapter today. It may be a bit miserable. Readers who don’t like knowledge encyclopedia can not read it...

In the early Western Han Dynasty, Huang-Lao's learning was popular in all walks of life. Taoist thought of tranquility and inaction was the theme pursued by the great officials and nobles and literati at that time. This idea played an important role in stabilizing society and recuperation. The rulers of the early Han Dynasty knew that the reason for the demise of Qin was improper rewards and punishments, excessive taxes were imposed, and the world was in chaos and troubles, and the people were poor. They deeply felt that only by adhering to the policy of governing the people in tranquility can they win the hearts of the people and peace in the world. After the Warring States Period, the people suffered from the sufferings brought by the war, the economy was depressed, and the land was deserted. In such a social and historical context, promoting Huang-Lao's learning was in line with the trend and needs of the development of the times. Empress Dowager Dou, the mother of Emperor Jing of Han, liked Huang-Lao's learning. Under the direct influence of Empress Dowager Dou, "the emperor and the prince, Dou had to read "The Emperor" and "Laozi" and follow his skills."

(Volume 49 of "Records of the Grand Historian") Here "Emperor" refers to Emperor Jing; the prince refers to later Emperor Wu of Han. From this we can see that the royal nobles admired Huang-Lao's learning. Huang-Lao's learning was mainly based on the Taoist Laozi theory, emphasizing that governing the country and the body was better. All were based on natural inaction. Compared with the pre-Qin period, the rulers of the early Han Dynasty promoted Huang-Lao's learning, which promoted social development and economic prosperity.

After Emperor Wu of Han ascended the throne, Dong Zhongshu's suggestion of respecting Confucianism was adopted, and the policy of "demolishing the hundreds of schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone" was implemented. However, Emperor Wu of Han's desire to seek immortality and imitate the Qin Emperor was even better than that. The "Fengshan Book" and "Book of Emperor Wu" in "Records of the Grand Historian" were detailed. Mao Ying, the three brothers of Mao family, began to abandon his family and go to Hengshan to study Taoism when Emperor Wu of Han (140 BC to 87 BC) (according to

The "Dictionary of Chinese Historical Place Nouns" records: Hengshan is located in the northwest of Quyang County, Hebei, bordering Shanxi. From the Han and Tang Dynasties to the Song and Ming Dynasties, Quyang County, Hebei was the northern mountain. During the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, it was changed to Hengshan in Hunyuan, Shanxi, and Hengshan in Hebei was renamed Damaoshan. According to this, Maoying studied Taoism in that time, that time, Maoying studied Taoism in Hengshan in Quyang, Hebei). Regarding the journey of the Sanmao brothers studying Taoism, you can learn about the deeds through the "Maoshan Zhi" of the Yuan Dynasty.

Mao Ying, whose name is Shushen, was born in the fifth year of Zhongyuan, Emperor Jing of Han, that is, 145 BC, and is respected as Damao Jun. The second brother Mao Gu, whose name is Ji Wei, was born in the Wuxu year of Emperor Jing of Han, that is, 143 BC. The third brother Mao Zhong, whose name is Sihe, was born in the Gengzi year of Emperor Jing of Han, that is, 141 BC. Their Gaozu Mao Meng, whose name is Chucheng, was well-known in Xuanyuan in his early years, and observed the rise and fall of the Zhou Dynasty, predicted that the Zhou Dynasty would decline, lived in seclusion but not office, and worshiped ghosts.

Mr. Gu was a teacher and practiced Taoism and traveled to Huashan (now Huayin, Shaanxi) to achieve enlightenment. In addition, Volume 6 of "Records of the Grand Historian" quoted the same statement in "Taiyuan Zhenren Mao Ying Nei Ji" and the "Maoshan Zhi" about Mao Ying's great-grandfather Mao Meng practicing Taoism in Huashan and "ascending to heaven in the sun". Emperor Gaozu Mao Ying attained Taoism on September 1, 217 BC on the 30th year of Qin Shihuang. At that time, there was a song that had been circulated among the people for a long time:

"The immortals who have obtained Mao Chucheng, and they rode a dragon and rose into Taiqing. Now Xuanzhou plays with Chicheng, and continues to be in my life. The emperor is like learning La Jiaping." Qin Shihuang heard the news. After learning the news, officials sent to investigate the local villages. People said that this was a technique to persuade Qin Shihuang to seek immortality. Therefore, Qin Shihuang happily had the ambition to find immortals, so he changed the twelfth lunar month to "Jiaping". The three brothers of Mao family, their great-grandfather Mao Yan, whose courtesy name was Taineng, served as King Zhao of Qin.

(306-251 BC) served as the commander of the chariot and cavalry. His ancestor Mao Xi, whose courtesy name was Shilun, was King Zhuangxiang (249 BC) and was King Guangxin. Emperor Qin succeeded to the throne and was also the Duke of Dexin. The grandfathers of the three brothers of the Mao family had six sons, the sixth son named Mao Zuo, whose courtesy name was Yanying. He was not accused of the Nongsang. Mao Zuo had three sons, the eldest son Mao Ying, the second son Mao Gu, and the third son Mao Zhong. Taoism was honored as the Sanmao Zhenjun.
