Science in ancient China, known as fangzhongshu.From the modern scientific point of view, the main fangzhongshu contains information about sexual knowledge, sexual techniques, sexual dysfunction and other aspects of treatment and pregnancy, and it is not limited to sex, but sex and qigong, combined with health , and the pursuit of eternal youth or combination of longevity.See the present from the historical records, it first appeared in the Han Dynasty, and the extremely close relationship and Taoism.A long period of time, fangzhongshu been coated with a layer of mystery, mystery of color, but in fact it represents a large extent, the ancient Chinese theory of sexuality.
Currently seen on fangzhongshu reliable monograph records, dating back to the early years of the Western Han Dynasty.Chunyu Yi studied under the guidance of the Han Emperor's own words when talking about his teacher Yang Qing his book to the "yin and yang then banned books," and this is undoubtedly related fangzhongshu.Mawangdui Han bamboo slips unearthed in the book a "yin and yang", "Ten Questions", "on the world" and the silk "health side," "miscellaneous treatment side" and so on, are fangzhongshu works.Wuwei Medical Jane is also the treatment of sexual dysfunction of the content, which is fangzhongshu one of the important contents.In view of this, fangzhongshu are the writings of many in the Han Dynasty, the one that "Han Fang-chi slightly Literature" contained "in the eight rooms," Unfortunately, all these works have now been佚.
A fangzhongshu and the origins of Taoism
From the Han Dynasty, the Taoist bedroom arts and the origin of the special.Taoism is China's Han ethnic inherent in religion, which originated from ancient witchcraft, Eastern Han HanOn the first year (AD 142 years) by the advocate in Zhang Ling Road, taught mortals who fight to five meters, it is also known as " Five Du-meter Road ", which is the beginning of Taoism stereotypes.Because Taoists Ling Zhang Zun as "Heavenly Master", so called the "Heavenly Master Road."Zhang Ling Road in the ancient history of Taoism in China and have fangzhongshu occupy an important position, he was at the time of the Eastern Han Dynasty who, Yongping Jiangzhou when the worship, and later liveMangshan Luoyang North Hill, between the chapter and tired do not call, Yu Fu, Daocheng practice.Ling Zhang is not only disseminators of Taoism, and is fangzhongshu experts, he was "a scholar of the Imperial College, Broadcom Five. Night is sighing said: 'This is no good in life', the road was long life learning. ... ... A matter of its treatment are taken, but moreits big, light the end of the Road, while passers-by still Tonggui also. "here called""means" by"," by Su-Nu ", which spread So far, there are some elements of the former to survive, are the classic fangzhongshu, ZHANG Dao-Ling space can be seen in operation to cure to the masses."Immortals Chuan Ling Zhang Road," also documented to Zhang Ling Roadfangzhongshu teach the law as a practice: "Therefore, language tombsaid: 'Er-generation multi-state custom is not mitigated, can not die, I is available qi Housing in the matter of guidance, or take a few hundred trees and vegetation on the side ears. ' "This kind of practicing law may also not understand the modern people.
As Zhang Ling Road, is how well fangzhongshu treatment, it is now difficult to trace from the history books, but did find some negative information.Luan Chen called the Northern Zhou Dynasty, when people who had attached XiaoWei lawsuit, County of Hanzhong, he good at counting steps, such as taste thigh Release count by week, and active in the research of science, can be regarded as an ancient Chinese mathematician, scholars.He was a Taoist, and later converted to Buddhism and disaffection Road, turned to Taoism, wrote "smiled" and revealed much of the Taoist, critical.He said: "Hill on the concept of science, is taught Hill the" yellow book "All the laws disposable, 3579, transfer of men and women of the Road. Four heads four nose,two hands the two hearts, are yin and yang, the 20 Fourth, the number of abandoned track. "Here the so-called" competent "and the term was popular, meaning that sexual intercourse between men and women.Wilsonii Road, not only to teach followers fangzhongshu of law as a practice, but also held a ceremony full of mysterious atmosphere, known as the "true gas technique", also known as a "gas", the purpose of "Release the crime."This ceremony took place at the new moon, the night looking at men and women in this past three days to quit fasting.Ceremony, first dance, and then implementation of the men and women into a "gas", that is, "laughed theory" that "men and women to the Moon, three fastfirst, go into the private teacher merit-li, yin and yang, keep abreast of the times, day and night, 6:00 . This rustic all miscellaneous, non-Wen said. "
From ancient times, sex is always the most sensitive, most view the issue of confusion, and pursued by Taoist fangzhongshu also full of mystery, mystery of color, for the ceremony of feudal law can not, so in ancient China fangzhongshu experience in the development process turns are inevitable.Emperor adopted the recommendations of Dong Zhong-shu, "deposed 100, Only Confucianism" is a blow to the Taoist.To have a lot of people when the Northern and Southern Dynasties Taoism transformation: in the north, Songshanof priests too in the Northern Wei Dynasty and the support of the prime minister Cui Hao transformation Taoism, Taishang Senior say their own life to "whole-ching Taoism, remove the three pseudo-law, Song rent tax money, and left co-operation. "However, in the south, Lushan Lu Xiu Jing Taoist Taoism, such as transformation, it is"3, Ge弘II ", and even a" gas "is still the art is also inherited .
Regardless of how that pursued by Taoist fangzhongshu the continuous development in the twists and turns.ZHANG Dao-Ling died, his wife, Zhang Heng (with "one voice song" is not one of the authors) to continue preaching.His grandson Zhang Lu is more remarkable, he established a church in Hanzhong the regime for 30 years, were accompanied by very public, the three leaders at the time of the military angleis one of them.Cao Zhang's regime after the break, down south, General Cao was called, Langzhong al.To listen to many books that the "three", meaning that three of their grandchildren, and fangzhongshu continue to teach, always and "three" linked to the name.
In the past, Taoism fangzhongshu many-to-human transmission.Han, Wei, the prevalence of fangzhongshu reached a climax, when the first cold shouguang mentioned that he and Huatuo people at the same time, "-year-old year, the Royal allow women into public law, Qu Jin regular income, white beard and hair color to do at 10 o'clock on March 4 as the rationale. "Gambari also said before the front, Stong Yannian,up to three, "within Hanwu Biography" goes like this:
up, Longxi people.Huanglian serving more than 50 early years, the birds move into the mountains, serving over a hundred years of mercury, but also the village, such as 20 Xu, and Chang Ching by cattle, it is its "green cattle priests."Sick smell of the deceased, know and do not know, then to his waist bamboo and Chinese medicine services, or under the needle, they should go ahead with all the more.Language does not name people have heard of girls Lu "Five Sacred Mountains map" and has been suffering a request not granted girls, and his.More than 200-year-old into the mysterious hill to hill.
Road, the famous Jin Dynastyis fangzhongshu one of the great theorists.Southern Liang, Qi is also a great impact on the Hongjing.Sun is also a Tang Dynasty fangzhongshu master, written by "daughter to side" in a number of important fangzhongshu theory.The Song dynasty, Zhao Ji Song Maoshan also had mixed 25th-generation master Liu Kang for "Canton of law people", it is implicit that, in fact, is to ask fangzhongshu.To the Ming and Qing, to teach Taoist fangzhongshustill, of which there are well-known Heavenly Master Zhang Ming claimed to be descendants of the Master, but this time fangzhongshu theorists have been a rare occurrence, and the emergence of a number of "burning Golden Royal women "who,to confuse the people, but Taoism and ruined the reputation of fangzhongshu.
Second, the prevalence of fangzhongshu
Since the Han dynasty since the prevalence of fangzhongshu time, and the first since the court only because fangzhongshu the Royal women, health, etc. are in line with the pursuit of the then rulers, Yannian at the same time, the pursuit of longevity, longevity psychological needs are not old.First of all, the Han Emperor.At that time, there is a "", care of Ban Gu's "the story of the Han Dynasty", has been recorded as follows:
Bo-Liang of Taiwan began to Department ... ...early micro-, the number of self-prayer in. is reflected in its form, since the modification, and Qubing For transfer.Qubing refused, which is responsible for the said: "Ia clean, so fast to pray. This regulation wishing to sex, this is also non-gods."
Due to the complex in no way, ashamedalso.
So that "" is the master of sex, and good men and wind, andto same-sex sexual behavior occurred, but Hall refused.But this "" welcome back popular Emperor."Emperor Story":
(The Emperor) madePlease techniques, effective, probably does not vary Yung-cheng also.Road grantlike to have known of its operation, over a hundred years old, have less capacity Maung.The Guardian, Prince did not lose a year todeath.Since Parkinson Taiwan after burning, a little bad God.Like朔married as a concubine, the Health and three sons, died the same day with the new moon, when people are suspected of going dead.Princess Mu Since its operation and elegant, designed to obscene, or die prematurelythe larger die, no-cloud inspection.
After the end of the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao is also a fangzhongshu believer, he FANG keen on recruiting, "when Wei FANG, GANbeginning there Lujiang, Yangcheng have Qie Jian. Only be able to air-guided,the art room, thriftynot good food, who noted its 200-year-old. who just so, both sets of the Emperor of Wei, not to casual travel. "
Cao also said: "The world has FANG,吾incurred noted." Cao Cao also briefed FANG fangzhongshu to learn, Gan beginning and StongYannian "were recorded speaking and asked the firm of its operation," ladies do in order to test products, but also "may also be the examination," "effective."Fangzhongshu Taoist longevity of many patients, Cao Cao made a "line out of Xiamen, although turtle life" poems, including "reduction surplus this year, not only in the days; Yang Yi of China, available yongnian "The famous, it seems, and his great fangzhongshu study, but future generations to study this poem when this point is being neglected.
Cao Cao fangzhongshu attend to take the lead, so Ye of bureaucrats, aristocrats who have followed in droves.Pi in the "Code Theory" described in vivid madding when people on this scene:
But thrifty can Yingchuan, bait Ling V;Gan were good before the gas, allow young and old;know Lujiang fill the art I.; and military history.The beginning to the thrifty, the prices of your V-ling price several times.... ... After years, the owl, as the wolf people are caring, to cater to the needs to breathe.... ...that meeting also guided by competing techniques, to the temple from the people to ask by severe, nothing really castrate erection operation in Sri Lanka also.
