South China Sea Myth

They later learned that the wooden boat had returned to the southernmost tip of China's Hainan Island. This fifth eastward crossing, although it went through a lot of hardships, failed again. As soon as the merchants came ashore, they shouted, "Master Jianzhen is here." "The crowd came from far and wide, and they wanted to see the respected Jianzhen. They hugged and invited Jianzhen to dinner, and Jianzhen said, "The scriptures we brought with us were wet by the rain. "

The clothes, Buddhist utensils, and scriptures that they brought with them on the boat were placed on the rocks to dry. Dr. Myth, Li Ping, Ah Bin, and Ah Lang help dry things. Li Ping said: "According to the "Biography of the Eastern Expedition of the Tang Monks", there are thousands of clothes, Bodhisattva statues, Buddhist utensils and scriptures dried on the drying field. There are 1,000 dresses, 1,000 robes, and 1,000 sittings in the clothing alone. There are also a large number of Buddha utensils such as copper bowls, copper plates, copper plates, and bead flags. There are also many types of Buddha statues, including treasure statues, gold lacquer clay statues, Bodhisattva five statues, Yuan fan statues, etc. At the same time, there are also a large number of scriptures, such as (the Great Collection Sutra), the Huayan Sutra, the Great Wet Plate Sutra and so on. Those objects can be used by 1,000 people to attend the puja. "

Doctor Myth said that in such a costume, it is no wonder that Jianzhen and others "passed through the Xuantan of the state and county to receive ordination, and there is no one who is empty, and there is no pause for the time being." Li Ping said that in order to commemorate Jianzhen, the people of Sanya Yacheng called the slope where Jianzhen and others had dried scriptures and other things as "the slope of drying scriptures". Hearing that Jianzhen was coming, Feng Chongfu, an official who assisted the governor of Zhenzhou, personally led 400 soldiers to meet him, and "set up a meeting to be ordained" in the Taishou Ya Hall. In order to show respect for Buddhism, Feng Chongfu worshiped Jianzhen as his godmother's uncle, and welcomed him into a private house to set up fasting offerings. State officials also went one after another, "filling the room with almsgiving", and took turns to make offerings to the monks. It wasn't until the Dayun Temple was repaired that Jianzhen and others were sent to the Dayun Temple to settle down.

Yacheng Town used to be the seat of the ancient Yazhou Prefecture, which was once the political, economic and cultural center of central and southern Hainan for a long time. Compared to many small towns in southern China, it even seems a little shabby, and it is difficult to find the beautiful scenery contained in the history books. During his stay in Hainan, Jianzhen made outstanding contributions to the development of Hainan and the development of science and culture, and also enriched his own travels and added to the legend of his life.

Huang Mei said: "After the completion of the Dayun Temple, Jianzhen and his disciples copied a large number of touching scenes of Buddhist scriptures for the Dayun Temple. Jianzhen and his disciples, with the Dayun Temple as a forum, to the local people to teach the Vinaya, precepts, degrees and other Buddhist essentials, Jianzhen and his disciples, teaching about calligraphy, carving, medicine, architecture, arts and crafts and other knowledge of the scene, not only spread the Buddhist culture, but also let the Central Plains culture have a further extension. "

The tour guide Yao Ping said: "Jianzhen is knowledgeable, talented, and is respected as the Buddhist leader of Huainan who is "unique and unbiased, and the Taoist and vulgar return to the heart". He is a highly accomplished scholar of medicine, and he tells the local people about his experience in collecting and concocting medicines. In medicine, he taught others how to diagnose diseases using intuitive differentiation methods such as the nose smell, the tongue taste, and the finger touch. During the detention period, Jianzhen and others conducted extensive investigation and collection of local scenery, products and wild plants, and carried historical books. Jianzhen high-footed disciple Hui Qi R Tang Dynasty monk Dong Zheng Biography". This book has a place in Chinese historiography.

He was responsible for making detailed records and writing them into the "Crusade". These valuable information, later by the Japanese Danhai real Yuan Kai as a record of the blue thunder, at that time the southern treasure island scenery is beautiful, unique customs, tropical crops have lychee, longan, coconut, pineapple, betel nut, agarwood and other southern medicine, spices, strange trees and exotic fruits. Jianzhen is also very concerned about the life of the people in Hainan, especially in agriculture. He wrote: 'Raise silkworms octave, harvest rice again'. It further shows that Hainan in the Tang Dynasty not only mastered the skills of raising silkworms and extracting silk, but also knew how to plant double-cropping rice, and had advanced farming systems and production technologies. "

Yang Yang asked: "What is the longevity of Nanshan?" Li Ping's tour guide explained: "When it comes to the longevity of Nanshan, there is a saying that according to legend, when the Tang Dynasty monk Jianzhen crossed to Japan for the fifth time with his disciples in 748 AD, he encountered a typhoon and drifted to the Ningyuan River Estuary (now Haishan Wonder Scenic Area) in Zhenzhou (now Sanya City). They stepped on the land of Nanshan exhausted, but immediately regained their spirits. This miracle was spread ten, and ten were spread to hundreds. People call Nanshan Xianshan. Legend has it that people who have been to Nanshan have gone to the sick and have no disease, and they have a long life. So people use 'Nanshan Bo to bless others with a long life.' "

Doctor Myth tells the story of Jianzhen and tells everyone to open the dream function of the magic suit and magic vest.

-- The island nation sent a Tang mission to China. When he returned to China in October of the following year, he made a detour to Yangzhou to visit Jianzhen and invited him to go to the island country together. In the second year, the island country sent a Tang delegation to return to China, and Jianzhen and 38 apprentices and craftsmen accompanied him went to Japan with this mission. After more than a month of sailing, we finally arrived at Akizumayaura (now Akime Village, Fuzotsu Town, Kawabe County, Kagoshima Prefecture, Kagoshima Prefecture). The captain came to Jianzhen's cabin and said to him respectfully, "Master, please prepare to disembark and go ashore." The boat slowly came to shore, and Jianzhen said excitedly, "Ah, it's finally here!"

As he spoke, he stood up, and the crowd cheered for joy. Jianzhen slowly walked to the shore with everyone's support, often excited, and said in a loud voice: "It would be great if Rong Rui and Xiangyan saw this day!" From Jianzhen agreed to Rong Rui and Puzhao's invitation, a full 11 years have passed. During this period, he experienced five failures one after another, and 36 people sacrificed their precious lives one after another, what a great price this is! Thinking of this, Jianzhen couldn't help but squat down, so that he grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground and sniffed it again, and couldn't stop tears flowing down his cheeks.
