Chapter 201

As soon as the words fell, everyone sighed.

Such a strong man like steel actually fell completely because of a fall.

While making people sigh, it also made people feel painful.

You know this is a true monk, a monk of great practice.

What he pursued in his life was definitely not fame, wealth, or anything like that.

Such a person, even people without faith would have a kind of respect for him.

It's completely different from modern monks.

Fang Yang sighed and continued: "This fall, a month later, he passed away in Nirvana. In these 19 years, he put almost all his energy into translating the scriptures brought back from India, translating a total of 75 volumes, 1335 scrolls, with a word count reaching more than 13 million, accounting for more than half of the total number of translated scriptures in the Tang Dynasty!"

"The scriptures he translated, whether in quantity or quality, became a model in the history of Chinese translation!"

"Xuanzang, who made such great achievements with an ordinary body, was not always remembered by history. More than 200 years after his death, the Great Tang perished, the golden age of Buddhism completely passed, and the status of monks became lower and lower. Many people just went to become monks to mix a meal!"

"The precepts of the temple also became looser and looser, and monks even became objects of ridicule and mockery by the common people. Xuanzang, who was once radiant, also began to become blurred and dim!"

"Everyone forgot the real Xuanzang, leaving only the indecisive and ignorant Tang Seng in Journey to the West!"

"Along with it disappeared Xuanzang's spirit of not fearing hardships and exploring the truth!"

"At the same time, the Age of Discovery of Western exploration also arrived, Columbus discovered America, Da Gama opened a new route from Europe to India, and the Europe of the Steam Age rose!"

"Europeans took Xuanzang as an idol, "Great Tang Western Regions Record" even became a treasure book for Europeans to enter Central Asia and India. Guiding them to discover many ancient ruins and cities."

"And our China entered a hundred years of dark moments, and the Chinese people in the midst of water and fire only realized belatedly that our Chinese history had actually had such a great westward traveler and explorer."

"In the 1930s, China was in even more internal and external trouble, after the September 18th Incident, the Northeast fell rapidly, and the whole of China was exploring a way out of the national disaster, major newspapers even asserted that the national self-esteem and self-confidence of the Chinese people had been lost."

"Facing such remarks, in 1934, on his birthday, Mr. Lu Xun wrote an article "Have the Chinese People Lost Their Self-Confidence", in which he wrote."

Since ancient times, we have had people who work silently.

People who work hard, people who plead for the people, people who sacrifice themselves to seek the law, this is the backbone of the Chinese people....

"I am thinking, at that time when Mr. Lu Xun wrote 'people who sacrifice themselves to seek the law', the figure of Master Xuanzang must have appeared in his mind!"

"In a sense, Mr. Lu Xun was the Xuanzang of the Ming Dynasty era, he abandoned medicine for literature, spreading advanced ideas and culture to the ancient land of China."

"Life and death is a vast sea, who acts as the boat, the long night of ignorance, who acts as the torch. This is the exclamation and question raised by Master Xuanzang when he was at his darkest and most frustrated in his life."

"And Mr. Lu Xun gave an answer that crossed a thousand years in his article."

If there is a point of heat, emit a point of light.

If there is no torch after this, I am the only light. — "Hot Wind"

After the story was finished, the surroundings were silent, except for the workers working in the distance knocking and hitting.

No one spoke around Fang Yang, they all stood there constantly savoring.

Recalling that admirable pioneer in the Tang Dynasty.

At this moment, the Xuanzang in their minds and Tang Seng in Journey to the West were completely stripped away.

Because they are different, and it can even be said that they are not the same person.

Although what he spread was only Buddhist knowledge, his spirit and his dedication were obvious to all.

An artifact, a story.

Netizens gradually understood that protecting artifacts is not about protecting their own value.

Just like this stone Buddha pedestal in front of me.

It is just made of ordinary stone, if you really want to talk about value, it can be said to be worthless.

But it is one of the very few relics left by Xuanzang in the world.

Its preciousness is self-evident, if these are gone, later generations might really forget him.

At least 90% of people in China currently probably don't know that such a person once existed.

【Popularity】 +1+1+1+1.

——【After listening to this story, I was a bit shocked, is this still the Tang Seng in my impression? Unimaginable, such a great person was actually forgotten by history, although I don't believe in Buddhism, I admire him, admire his fearlessness, and his selfless dedication, this is a high monk, unlike the current temples that only know how to make money.】

——【So Tang Seng seeking scriptures is true, I can only say Journey to the West is too famous, leading people to only remember Tang Seng, and forget Master Xuanzang. If I have the chance, I also want to go to the museum to see this stone Buddha pedestal, to savor Master Xuanzang who didn't fear life and death to seek scriptures back then.】

——【Brothers, when I was driving just now, I passed by a place, looked carefully, it seems to be exactly the same as the place in the livestream, wahahaha, I found the place where Fang Yang works, those who want the address, hurry up and shout handsome guy, if you shout until I'm happy, I'll send the address!】

——【Holy crap, you upstairs are so cheap, having the address and not sharing it, and still forcing us to shout you handsome guy against our conscience! If you ask me, you are the universe's invincible super handsome guy, hurry up and send the address, I've been searching on the satellite map for half an hour, my eyes are blurry!】

【Handsome guy!】

【Handsome guy +1】

+1000....

Chen Feng was the first to come back to his senses, looked at the stone Buddha pedestal: "After listening to his story, I suddenly feel that this is another national treasure!"

Fang Yang smiled: "That's right, the value of an artifact doesn't depend on itself, but on the history it tells people."

The foreman was getting more and more confused, and couldn't help but look Fang Yang up and down: "What exactly are you doing? How come you feel like a history teacher!"

The police officers behind laughed out loud, have to say he really looks like a teacher in class.

Chen Feng also nodded in agreement: "He is not a history teacher, you should call him a history professor!"

"Ah? Such a young professor? And professors come to operate excavators? You really think I'm uneducated and easy to fool!"

Fang Yang felt a bit embarrassed hearing them talk about him, so he had to interrupt Chen Feng: "Hurry up and put this away, I still have to work!"

"No problem, arrange it immediately!"

Although the stone Buddha pedestal was also big, if using ropes, 6 or 7 people could still lift it, not needing a crane here.

And during this period, the video of Fang Yang explaining the stone Buddha pedestal was posted online.

Causing countless people to watch and marvel.

Today is considered popularizing some historical figure knowledge for them.

Everyone felt in their hearts that such a person really shouldn't be forgotten.

Thinking of the current monks and temples, I only feel the gap is really too big.

So someone @Religious Affairs Bureau.

As a result, the Affairs Bureau really came to see it.

Immediately after, an announcement scrolled across the whole network.

Religious Affairs Bureau.

#Fang Yang explains Master Xuanzang# Thank you Mr. Fang Yang for rectifying the name of Master Xuanzang, and also thank him for bringing relevant knowledge to everyone. We have also gained some inspiration from it. The current precepts are indeed loose. For this reason, the Affairs Bureau guarantees to everyone here that it will improve the quality of monks, strengthen precepts, and return a quiet temple to everyone, instead of a listed company! Finally, thank Mr. Fang Yang here.

Sharp-eyed netizens saw this announcement and posted it online.

Instantly caused a large number of netizens to watch.

Today's temples have long been like lottery tickets, all fake.

Being able to see such an announcement, have to say it is very rare.

Also sparked heated discussion among netizens.

"Forget it, I guess it's just lip service, just talking about it, it will be the same old way when it's really done!"

"Fang Yang's traffic is here, if there is really no change, he will be scolded to death!"

"Let me tell you something funny, last time I went up the mountain to burn incense, it was said to be free, but as long as you go in, unless you stand there and do nothing, everything costs money."

"China's local sect is Daoism, since ancient times Daoism has closed the mountain in prosperous times, and gone down the mountain to save people in troubled times. If you really want to have faith, it is better to believe in Daoism, at least most Daoist priests have skills to support themselves."

Today, the eighteen volumes of Yongle Dadian in the museum were placed in the very center of the lobby, separated by a thick glass cover. Surrounded by a big circle.

Almost everyone would come here to see it.

Although it hadn't been fully restored since it was unearthed, because the book was preserved quite well, the quality of the book was also good, and the handwriting was clearly visible.

Each one is a treasure of China.

Most tourists couldn't understand the content on it, but there were two old professors in the circle taking turns explaining the meaning on the book.

The whole museum was still crowded with people, and there was a long line outside.

Director Chen and Director He stood on the second floor watching the crowd: "I feel this branch of yours can't close the door in 3 days, there are too many tourists, many people probably haven't seen it, if you close it, I guess they can scold you to death!"

The director also had a headache, originally thinking 3 days was enough.

But looking at the current situation, it is far from enough, I guess it won't be enough even if it opens for a week.

The most terrible thing is that with the exhibition of Yongle Dadian, more and more people are pouring into this city.
