but until about to come At the finale, the audience discovered that there are many "Dao elements" hidden in the drama .
1, Li Bi
in the TV series Li Bi is one of the core characters of the whole show. The screenwriter gave his identity as a monk , which implied the Li Tang dynasty's "national religion as the way" concept of governance. .
Li Bi is the prototype of Li Mi, a prominent figure in the history of the Mid-Tang Dynasty. From the self-introduction of Li Bi in the play, it is known that he was "a distinguished family member of the sixth generation. He became friends with Zhang Jiuling at the age of seven, and befriended the prince at the age of nine. He Jian is my teacher, and General Wang Zongbang is my friend. Ten years", so he was often summoned by Emperor Taizong to discuss the Tao.

In the play, Li Mi has also repeatedly quoted the classic quotations from The Tao Te Ching. For example, in episode 20, he has a line: "The Dao heart is lonely, pay attention to everything, but how much Changan today Life is in my hands, so how can I really ignore it. The world is indifferent, and everything is a humble dog , but unfortunately I can't repair this level."

In history, Li Mi is almost the same as Guo Ziyi At the end, he went through the four dynasties of Xuanzong, Suzong, Daizong and Dezong, participated in the grand plan of the palace, assisted the court, and strategized. During his life, Li Mi advocated the way of Lao Zhuang, who was born and do nothing. He regarded his fame and wealth as a mess. He resigned as prime minister several times in the Suzong and Daizong dynasties, and eventually stayed away from the court and lived in Hengshan for many years. In June of the third year of Zhenyuan (787 in the Western calendar), he finally agreed to Dezong's request to become prime minister. He was 67 years old at the time. In March of the fourth year of Zhenyuan, Li Miyu was transformed. He pursued Taoism, the official is the official, and Cain is the hidden, avoiding the disaster of killing, is the practitioner of the sage Laozi " succeeded and retired to ".

2, He Zheng
In the play, Li Bi said to his teacher He Zheng: "The teacher wrote in the past, "I don't know who cut out the leaves, the spring breeze in February is like scissors" has become a ballad sung by everyone in Chang'an. "And the author of this song "Ying Willow" is He Zhizhang, the "Poetry Madness" of the Tang Dynasty. He Jian in the play claims to be 86 years old. He Zhizhang in history "has few years to die" after returning to his hometown. He was also 86 years old when he emerged. Therefore, it can be judged that the prototype of He Zhizheng is He Zhizhang . The poet Du Fu wrote a song "The Eight Immortals in Drinking". The first wine immortal in the poem was this He Zhizhang: "Zhizhang is like riding a boat, and his eyes fall to the bottom of a well to sleep. Remember He Jian’s appearance? The drunkenness of the old man riding a donkey into the hall should be a live interpretation of Du Shi.

As everyone knows, He Zhizhang in history is also a Taoist priest.
"Old Tang Book · He Zhizhang Biography" records: "At the beginning of Tianbao, (Zhizhang) was sick, sleepwalking in the emperor's residence, for a few days, I was invited to be a Taoist priest, return to the hometown, and enjoin him, and live with his house for the view of the future." In the play, He Jian became Li Bi’s teacher. In addition to He Jiangui as the prince, he should also have a lot of common language with Li Bi in participating in Taoism and enlightenment.

3, Yan Yuhuan
There is also a weakened role in the drama that has a significant impact on the history of the Tang Dynasty-the female crown Yan Taizhen Yan Yuhuan. The prototype of is Yang Yuhuan , the beauty who "want to wear clothes and flowers and to be content".
According to records, in the twenty-eighth year of the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, Xuanzong thought that his mother, Queen Mother Dou, prayed for blessings. It was not until the fourth year of Tianbao that Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty re-appointed Yang Yuhuan as a noble concubine. This periodDuring the three-year period of Tianbao set by the plot, Yang Yuhuan was in the midst of her career as a champion.

Orthodox Taoism does not have the title of "Taogu". The female Taoist priests of the Tang Dynasty all wore yellow crowns, while the vulgar women had no crowns but only female Taoist priests had crowns, hence the name female crown .
was a monk and cultivating a few years earlier than Yan Yuhuan, as well as the sisters of Emperor Xuanzong Jinxian Princess and Yuzhen Princess . The Tang Dynasty was an open-minded dynasty, and these two princesses were also typical representatives of pursuing liberalism and romanticism. They chose to spend a pleasant time at the Yansheng Taoist Temple in Zhongnanshan . The emperor was willing to allow his beloved women and close relatives to practice Taoism, which shows that during the Tang Dynasty, the emperor had already highly regarded Taoism.

4, Taishang Xuanyuan Great Immortal Lamp
The Taishang Xuanyuan Great Fairy Lamp that everyone wanted to see finally came out! The fairy lights tower into the clouds, magnificent and magnificent, not inferior to the modern light show. Looking at the scene of Chang'an from upstairs, everyone admires the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.
Some viewers will find that this fairy lantern is called "Tai Shang Xuan Yuan Great Fairy Lamp". What does this mean?
(picture from the Internet)
Did you see the old man's portrait above the fairy lamp? That's right, the fairy lamp is named after the title of Taishang Laojun. In the Tang Dynasty, the prevalence of Laozi and Taoism reached its peak, Tang Gaozong respected Laozi as the "Emperor of Xuanyuan" .
On the important festival of the year in ancient times—Shangyuan Festival, the emperor ordered craftsmen to spend 4 million yuan to create such a fairy with a statue of Laozi as the main element, "over one hundred and fifty meters high and twenty-four wide". Lights, and admired with the envoys and tens of thousands of people in Hua'elou, showing his admiration for Laozi.

Lao Tzu is one of the greatest philosophers and thinkers in our country. His philosophical ideas and the Taoist school founded by him have not only made important contributions to the development of ancient Chinese ideology and culture, but also contributed to our country’s thoughts for more than 2,000 years. The development of culture has had a far-reaching impact, among which the glory of the Tang Dynasty and the vigorous admiration of Emperor Li Tang played a powerful role in promoting.

5, the saint
In the Tang Dynasty, the most powerful person in the respect, popularization and practice of Taoism and Taoism is "Tang Xuanzong Li Longji, that is, Li Longji. "The saint" in the play. In the
play, the "old man in white" suspects that the prince is unable to protect the Tang Dynasty, and he is old and faint and condemns lazy politics. It makes people feel terrified to see him kidnapped, and is moved by his love for the people like a son.

So why do people call Xuanzong a "sage" instead of "the emperor"? The editor thinks that it is mainly because of the following two points:
In the thirteenth year of Kaiyuan, Tang Xuanzong led hundreds of officials, noble relatives and foreign guests to Mount Tai to confine the Zen. Feng Chan represents an emperor’s brilliant achievements in political career. Emperor Xuanzong considers himself comparable to the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, and should be admired for generations to come. Therefore, called "sage" different from ordinary emperors .
Secondly, in the "Tao De Jing", the "sage" is the incarnation of the ideal ruler in Lao Tzu's writings, and because of the respect of Taoism in the Tang Dynasty, Taoist tycoons like Lao Tzu and Zhuang Tzu are also called gods and saints. Calling Tang Xuanzong the "sage" means that embodies the respect for "Tao" and is also a just right praise for Tang Xuanzong.

6, the "state religion as the way" Li Tang dynasty
"Chang'an" so many people and things related to "Tao", in the final analysis, is because the Tang Dynasty is a "state religion as the way" dynasty.
Looking at the development of Taoism and Taoism, it is not difficult to find that they have actually run through Chinese history for thousands of years.
Beginning with Lao Zi’s lecture at the Gulouguan in 516 BC, the order of the Guanguan Pass in Hangu, Taoism played an extremely important role in the governance of the emperors.
(Picture Building Guanzong Saint Palace Mitakabai)
During the Warring States Period, there were many representatives of Taoist schools after Laozi; in the "Battle of Changping", Qin Jiangbai was "weakly defeated by Dao De Jing". Inspired by “strong”, pretending to flee was actually outflanked and encircled and annihilated, laying the foundation for Qin’s dominance; in the early days of the founding of the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Bang praised Lao Tzu for “resting and rejuvenating and governing without doing anything”; Emperor Wen Wen and Emperor Han Jing even “ruled a great country like cooking small fresh food” Persevering in the country’s philosophy of governing the country to the end, the “rule of Wenjing” was finally realized...
In the era of settling chaos, Laozi’s “rule by doing nothing” has created countless miracles. The establishment of Taoism in the Eastern Han Dynasty transformed history from doctrine to myth, and Laozi was also deified from man to god. China's native religion-Taoism was born. Since then, "Taoism" and "Taoism" are like two great horses, galloping in the field of Chinese traditional culture and religion.
(The picture shows the exhibition hall of the "Tao De Jing" in the historical and cultural scenic spot of Zhongnan Mountain)
In 618 AD, the Tang Empire unified the land of China. The founding emperor Li Yuan deified his rule to improve his family, and was named the same as Li. Laozi was the ancestor and established Taoism as the state religion . In 626 AD, he promulgated "Lao Lao and Shizhao", stating that " Taoism is the first, Confucianism is the second, and Buddhism is the last ." The content is included in the scope of the imperial examination. The ancient building view that Laozi said about the scriptures has also been renamed "Zongsheng Palace" by . The temples are connected for several miles, with high powers and strong incense, making it the earliest royal palace view.

Tang Xuanzong is also a "Laozi fan", he has given the "Tao Te Jing" to the civil and military officials and concubines in the palace many times, and he kissed him in the 21st year of Kaiyuan "Yu Zhu Daode Jing" in four volumes. At the same time, he also advocated eliminating witchcraft and superstition, developing Taoist principles, and realizing the return of Huang Lao thought.
Both Taoism and Taoism reached their peak in the Tang Dynasty.
(stills)
At this time, looking back at this "Changan Twelve Hours", all the "Tao elements" in it have become reasonable and indispensable.
Although as a religion, the rise and fall of Taoism is closely connected with the fate of a dynasty, but Taoism has always been shining in the long history of Chinese civilization and is endless.
