Is Jigong a living person, or is it a god that people have created according to their own wishes?

I think it's a god that people have created according to their own will

Today, when I talk about the topic of Jigong, Jigong's characters and the image created in the TV series, unconsciously came to my mind, the story of Jigong can be said to be known to thousands of households, and everyone knows the existence of Jigong, so today I will discuss whether Jigong is a living person, or a god created by people according to their own prophecies?

In fact, the origin of Jigong and its identity are still a mystery, and historians have not come up with a positive basis, but more people believe that he is an image created by people.

Because of the acceleration of the pace of life and the development of the times, soThe pressure on people will also increase, and over time, a big world will emerge, and everyone wants to reach that pointSo people created an image of Jigong.

Jigong's main personality and style of doing things, the above is very crazy,We all know that Jigong is known for his madnessHe has always been tattered about his clothes, and walking in the world with a broken pu fan has a feeling of seeing through the truth of the world, which is also a realm that people hope to reach.

Another characteristic of Jigong is that it isSave people, because he himself has a very strong martial arts, so we believe that by watching TV series, we can also see that he heals others for free, and is deeply liked and loved by some ordinary people, so he has the title of Living Buddha JigongThis is also the hope that everyone in the society will become like Jigong through their own shaping

Secondly, Jigong has another characteristicIt is that although he is a monk, he drinks both wine and eats meatNever ignore Buddhism, the precepts and rules of Buddhism are still my own style, which is also a state that people hope to reach.

In history, there was Lingyin Temple and Jidian monks, but he was a human being, and he may know more about Buddhism than other monks and can advise the world better, so he is said to have great powers.

Jigong is real because he often helps the common people and gets a lot of praise.

The answer to this question should not be uniform. It really exists, but there are also people who say that it is virtual.

I think it may exist, but maybe everyone will exaggerate his ability and situation later.

Of course he really exists, he is a man who does good deeds.

There is a certain amount of controversy about this issue, and I think there should be a prototype, and then some exaggeration.

I think Jigong really has this person, because there is indeed the existence of Jidian monks.

Jigong is an arhat, and he has proved the fruit of an arhat, so people are called living Buddhas.

Jigong is considered to be the reincarnation of the auspicious dragon Arhat, Jigong is considered to be the reincarnation of the dragon Arhat, and the honorific title of Jigong after becoming a Buddha is "Great Compassion, Great Benevolence, Great Wisdom, Purple Gold Arhat, Ana, Defeat and Righteousness, Venerable Divine Skill, Guangji Ancestor Sanyuan Zanhua Tianzun", integrating Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, so it can also be said that he belongs to both the Buddha and the Tao. He had a torn hat, a fan, a shoes, and a coat, and he looked crazy.

Background

Jigong was born into a family of Buddhist believers, and his father never had children when he was very old, and finally had Jigong when he was almost 50 years old. Jigong's birth was extraordinary, and the host of Guoqing Temple in Tiantai Mountain repaired his fate. He had a deep relationship with the Buddha, and was subtly influenced by the people around him, and he was very interested in Buddhism since he was a child.

He was also highly educated, familiar with Confucianism and Taoism, and his behavior after becoming a monk had a lot to do with his sudden insight into the world.

First of all, it is because Jigong is different from other monks, he is unkempt, his clothes are tattered, and he is crazy.

The image of Jigong we see in the TV series is similar to that of a beggar, with a torn hat on his head, torn clothes on his body, even his shoes, and a broken fan in his hand.

The first time I saw such a raunchy image of Jigong, and then I chattered every day, I must feel that this person was abnormal.

And the monks in the temple are all clean, for the people who look at the outside, they must not wait to see Jigong, after all, Jigong has damaged the image of the monks in the temple.

In addition, Jigong sometimes had unclean hands and feet, and often stole money from the monks in the temple.

As long as Jigong sees which monk in the temple is rich, he will go up and steal the monk's money. Even if the temple was poor, Jigong would sell the clothes of the monks in the temple and exchange it for money to buy wine, drink and meat to eat.

For such an act that harms himself and the interests of the temple, it is strange that the monks in the temple can treat him.

Hou Jigong cultivated his heart and did not cultivate his mouth, and drank wine and ate meat every day. We often see Ji Gong in TV dramas holding a piece of meat in his hand and then hanging a wine gourd around his waist.

Then he was crazy in the temple or on the road, drinking wine and eating meat at the same time, and sometimes he would even sing that his shoes were broken, his hat was broken, and his robe was broken. Laugh at me crazy, laugh at me for being upside down, wine and meat through the intestines, the Buddha left this song in his heart.

Although Jigong lived a chic life, he did not take into account the rules and precepts of the temple at all. Therefore, Jigong's behavior of drinking wine and eating meat is completely against the regulations in the eyes of the monks in the temple.

If it weren't for the fact that Jigong had done a lot of good things among the people, Jigong's behavior would have been completely unruly, and he would have been expelled by the abbot.

This is because Jigong's external image is relatively sloppy, and he also eats meat, which is inconsistent with the dogma in Buddhism, which makes it very embarrassing, so there is no him in the temple.

People often say to Jigong that monks should eat fasting, how can they drink wine and eat meat? Jigong would say: "The Buddha left a poem, I cultivate the heart and he cultivates the mouth, others do not cultivate the heart, and for me the heart does not cultivate the mouth."

In fact, the main reason is that it is still not very respected, so it is not very popular, but it is actually very good

Jigong is not a vegetarian, some people say that monks should eat fasting, how can you drink wine and eat meat, Jigong has a saying that the Buddha left in his heart, and wine and meat passed through the intestines.

Because Jigong is sloppy, and the tattered ones are definitely not treated well in the temple. And Jigong's appearance is like a beggar.

Because Jigong is too sloppy, and he is a big fish and meat every day, it is obvious that he has broken the rules of Buddhism, and the monks in the temple naturally do not want to see him.

The clothes on his body were in tatters, and he was crazy. The image of Jigong that we see in the TV series is similar to that of a beggar.

The Iron Bull in the Water Margin is a good person, and it really exists.

No, how can there be such a good person now.

Enter the realm of inconceivable liberation and Dharmakaya.

The status can be said to be very high, after all, he can come and go freely. This is the absence of some immortals who can vigorously manage him, so this is the treatment that only immortals with special status have.

"The Complete Biography of Jigong" has a vivid description and performance of the image of Jigong as a human and a god, which is not only interesting, but also has an aftertaste when reading. Ji Gong is good at pinching and calculating, unpredictable prophets, boundless mana, and vast magical powers; He is compassionate, heals the sick and saves people, can restore sight to the blind, speak to the dumb, and bring the dead back to life; He is jealous of evil and hatred, punishes evil and promotes good, protects the good, protects the weak, sees injustice on the road, and helps each other; He eradicates evil ways, suppresses evil forces, protects the place, and upholds the Dharma. He is full of wisdom, full of wealth, playing with the world, and witty and playing. These characters are expressed by a large number of vivid and interesting legends.

The author's praise of justice, compassion, equality, wisdom, and other excellent qualities still has important educational significance for moral anomie in today's society.

Jigong is close to the people and has a great influence among the people. Some folk customs are associated with the name of Jigong. Take food, for example.

When outsiders come to the rooftop as guests, they all praise the "dumpling cone". A thin crust with a diameter is wrapped in a variety of meat and vegetable dishes, and placed on a frying pan to coat oil and roast yellow, which becomes a staple food and wine with good color and flavor. It is said that when Jigong was a novice at Guoqing Temple, he made a reservation for a guest in the future, and he rolled leftover vegetables in a pie crust ("Foot Cake Cone").

There are also gourmet snacks such as Jigongjia liquor, Jigong wine, Jigong dog meat noodles, and Jigong eight large bowls on the rooftop. Hangzhou Tiger Run also has a "Ji Gong Banquet". When people go to Wuxi, they always have to taste the "Wuxi meat bones" of Mo Xingsheng butcher shop at South Gate and Yushen butcher shop at Sanfengqiao.

The sauce is red, salty and sweet, crispy and fragrant, which is really mouth-watering. Its preparation method is also a gift from Jigong to the shopkeeper who repeatedly gave away cooked pork ("Wuxi Meat and Bone"). In addition, Fu Jin boiled jade and famous fan bones are all related to Jigong.

Ji Gong is a historical figure, because of his strange words and deeds, especially the help to the disadvantaged and the suppression of the rich and unkind, he was deeply admired by people before and after his death, and created various legends about his birth, doing good, helping the weak, suppressing the strong and appearing after his death, many of which are intentionally or unintentionally deified. As a result, the Zen monk Daoji walked to the altar. Yongning Village and Jifoyuan, the hometown of Jigong, the former site of Jigong of Lingyin and Jingci Temples in Hangzhou, the Jigong Pagoda of Hupao Temple and the palace tower courtyard built later, have all become the places of worship and worship of the four congregations.

The Song and Yuan Dynasty speakers' "Quotations of Qiantang Yuyin Jidian Shi" (hereinafter referred to as "Jidian Quotations"), which has a certain "history" component, extracts folklore and reflects Jigong from man to god to a certain extent. One example is that all the Taiwei and those who have received the favor of Jigong should worship Jigong's "Son of God" (portrait).

For more than 800 years, the legend of Jigong has become a unique cultural phenomenon, deeply engraved in the hearts of the local people in Tiantai and even the whole country, and has a significant impact on the formation of Tiantai people's character and even the formation of the national spirit of the Chinese nation. The legend of Jigong fully expresses the spirit of helping the needy, despising the powerful, and selflessness and altruism. Carrying forward this spirit plays an important role in forming a good social custom of seeing righteousness and acting courageously and helping others, promoting moral education, and building a harmonious society.

Jigong is jealous of evil and hatred, punishing evil and promoting good, such as "Jigong punishes the villain", "Throwing a knife to play Qin Hui", "What should be the crime", "Ji Dou Evil Sister", "Horn Spitting Fire", "Stick Beat Shou Lianfei", "Drop the Wooden Fish Handle", "Difficult Problem to Persuade the Unscrupulous", "Three Difficulties to Brag King", "Wisdom to Capture the Treasure Thief", "Zhexi Fighting Ghosts and Saving Children" and so on. "Falling Wooden Fish Handle" tells the story of Tiantai Duzhi County's greed, snatching the treasures of Guoqing Temple, and being fanned into Zhexi by Jigong with a banana fan, and losing his official position and returning the treasure. There are also some legends that tell that Jigong designed King Kang to flee thousands of miles barefoot, and Qin Hui died without a place to be buried; beat Fei Shoulian with a stick and punished Evil Zhi County; Wise save Widow Zhu and teach the ruffians a lesson; Spot the dog thief and smash the signboard that hangs on the sheep's head to buy dog meat.

Through the stories of saving the suffering of the people and claiming justice, the psychological aspirations of the people are expressed.

The legendary Jigong was also a clever doctor, often diagnosing and administering medicine to the old, weak, poor and sick, and the treatment was strange and the effect was immediate. In later generations, there were many medical prescriptions for the name of Jigong. For example, "Ji Buddha Meditation Chapter (Up and Down)" and Ji Buddha Meditation Method, the two schools of Buddha and Tao are mutually evidenced and referenced in one door, which is quite distinctive.

Taiwan's Shengde Bao Palace's "Shengde Cure Secret Formula" contains hundreds of unilateral and test prescriptions left by Jigong. The "Hong Chai Anthology" published by the Hong Kong Chai Society also uses the name of Jigong, absorbing the knowledge and technology of Chinese and Western medicine, and combining persuasion and cure. Japan's Dr. Akiji Yoshimoto's monograph "Taoism and Immortal Longevity Medicine" also listed Jigong in the "Taoism and Famous Doctors of the Past Dynasties".

During the Sui and Tang dynasties of the Six Dynasties, there were many legends of Arhats and mad monks on Tiantai. In the early Southern Song Dynasty, Dao Ji was born in Tiantai, and he was called "Ji Crazy". Before and after his death, many supernatural legends about him appeared on the rooftop, and people talked about it.

Since the Ming and Qing dynasties, the legend of Jigong has been widely spread throughout the country and has become a well-known Chinese folk tale, entrusting the ancient working people's yearning for a happy life and simple aesthetic taste. As a kind of folk literature, the legend of Jigong is attached to real historical figures, with the originality of the region, and at the same time highlights the mysterious supernatural power, with the magic of the plot.

The legend of Jigong has become a vivid material for literature and art. Rescuing, excavating, and protecting the legend of Jigong will play a certain role in promoting the enrichment and improvement of national folk literature. Jigong wears a broken hat, wears rags, and holds a broken banana fan, but he has a beautiful heart of selflessness and altruism.

In the history of Chinese aesthetic culture, this is a typical example of ugliness as beauty, evil and good, and has unique aesthetic value.

Jigong said: "The Buddha left a poem, and I cultivated my heart and he cultivated his mouth." Others do not cultivate their minds, but they do not cultivate their minds.

It can be seen that what Jigong pursues is a kind of spiritual self-south, a kind of freedom that is pure and natural, uncultivated, unlicensed, unrestrained, and willful. Its "upside" is not a crazy and stupid "upside", but a kind of "upside" that reflects the "true face".

Jigong's words and deeds are very individual, and later generations used them as colloquialisms. The "Dictionary of Chinese Sayings" alone contains many items: "Jigong's attire - untidy clothes", "Jigong eats dog meat - regardless of the rules and precepts", "Jigong is a monk - not vegetarian", "Jigong lives - only talks about food and not clothing", "Jigong walks - crazy and crazy", "Jigong treats diseases - takes the initiative to come to the door".

The words are concise, very vivid, and unforgettable. There is also a clause of "Bao Gong in the morning, Guan Gong at noon, and Ji Gong in the evening", which is a satire on the unhealthy trend of some cadres today. The "Three Publics" are all positive images.
