Inheritance of Taoist culture: Gui Gu Zi, an ancient book

Reading a good book can bring your life to a new level--- Zhuge Changqing

Chinese culture is extensive and profound. The wisdom of ancient sages is really admirable, and Mr. Guigu is even more admirable. Ghost Valley is like a shining pearl, which makes our traditional culture more dazzling. It is worth mentioning that we should study and understand carefully, and let the wisdom of the ancients shine in our new success process.

Zhuge Changqing: If you have read Sun Tzu's Art of War, you should read Ghost Valley carefully. The two are perfectly matched, as if heaven and earth were together.

Gui Guzi, surnamed Wang Mingxu (xu), also known as Wang Chan, was a member of the Song Dynasty of the State of Wei during the Spring and Autumn Period. I often go to Yunmeng Mountain to collect herbs and cultivate my way. Because of his seclusion in the Ghost Valley of Qingxi, he called himself Mr. Ghost Valley and was one of the pre-Qin philosophers. The book Ghost Valley was compiled by later scholars according to his remarks. The content is very rich, involving political, military, diplomatic and other fields, mainly on strategic theory.

Gui Guzi is the founder of political strategists. He trained four famous disciples: Su Qin, Zhang Yi, Sun Bin, Pang Juan, Mao Sui, and other famous politicians and militarists. He was the author of "Gui Gu Zi", which was widely used in politics, diplomacy, military and other fields at that time and later generations, and received marvelous results. They also received Taoist masters such as Mao Meng, Xu Fu and Ji Ran, who taught them the art of longevity, business and divination, making them a generation of historical celebrities.

Political strategists advocate political tactics and the skills of speech and debate, and their guiding ideology is quite different from the benevolence, justice and morality advocated by Confucianism. Therefore, scholars have always praised the book "Gui Gu Zi" very little, and ridiculed it very much. In fact, Gui Gu Zi is not a leisurely work. It once played an important guiding role in society, especially in the theory of political strategists during the Warring States Period.

The benefits of diplomatic tactics are related to the security and prosperity of the country; Whether the strategy of business negotiation and competition is appropriate or not is related to the success or failure of the economy. Even in daily life, speaking skills are also related to the appropriateness of one's life. At that time, Su Qin, with his eloquent tongue, united the six countries, matched the six countries, and led the six countries to fight against Qin. Zhang Yi, on the other hand, with his strategy and lobbying skills, broke up the six countries and made immortal contributions to the Qin State. The so-called "wisdom is used for what people cannot know, but can be used for what people cannot."

This is the essence of Gui Gu Zi.

Sun Tzu's Art of War focuses on the overall strategy, while Gui Gu Zi focuses on specific skills. The two can be said to complement each other.

There are fourteen chapters in Gui Gu Zi, of which the thirteenth and fourteenth have been lost. The editions of Gui Gu Zi are commonly found in Daozang edition and Qin's edition of Jiangdu in the tenth year of Jiaqing.

(Gui Gu Zi is named for his seclusion in Gui Gu. There is a five-mile canyon from the south Tianmen to the southwest of Yunmeng Mountain in Qi County. It has a strange peak on the back of Ao, and the cliffs are verdant. This is the mysterious Gui Gu.)

Namo Amitabha. Namo Amitabha. Namo Amitabha.

Nanwu Master Sakyamuni Buddha. Blessed life is limitless. Confucius. Jesus. Mohammed.

All Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of the three generations in ten directions.

All immortals in the three realms and ten directions.

All sages at all times and in all countries.

Don't do any evil, and do all good. Persistence and responsiveness.

Zhuge Changqing wishes all the people who are destined to respect their parents and do good deeds and accumulate virtue rich and auspicious!

Zhuge Changqing: Don't do anything evil, follow all good deeds, persevere and respond to whatever you ask.

道家文化传承：千古奇书《鬼谷子》

 
读一本好书，可以让你的人生上一个新台阶！---诸葛长青

  中国文化博大精深。古贤智慧，真是令人敬佩之至，鬼谷先生更是令人敬佩神往。《鬼谷子》犹如一颗闪耀的明珠，让我们的传统文化更加光彩夺目。值提我们认真学习、仔细领会，让古人智慧，闪耀在我们新的成功进程上。

   诸葛长青：如果你读过《孙子兵法》，那么还要认真读一读《鬼谷子》。二者珠联璧合，犹如天地同在。

   鬼谷子，姓王名诩(xu )，又名王禅，春秋时卫国朝歌人。常入云梦山采药修道。因隐居清溪之鬼谷，故自称鬼谷先生，是先秦诸子之一，《鬼谷子》一书是其后学者根据其言论整理而成。内容十分丰富，涉及政治、军事、外交等领域，主要讲谋略的理论。

   鬼谷子为纵横家之鼻祖，培养了著名的四大弟子：苏秦、张仪、孙膑、庞涓毛遂等著名的政治家、军事家。著有《鬼谷子》一书，被当时和后世广泛地运用到政治、外交、军事等领域，并收到奇效。还收仙道家茅濛、徐福及计然等，分别传授长生术、经商术、占卜术等，使他们成为一代历史名人。

   纵横家所崇尚的是权谋策略及言谈辩论之技巧，其指导思想与儒家所推崇之仁义道德大相径庭。因此，历来学者对《鬼谷子》一书推崇者甚少，而讥诋者极多。其实《鬼谷子》不是一部等闲之作，它曾对社会尤其是战国时期纵横家的理论起过重要的指导作用。

    外交战术之得益与否，关系国家之安危兴衰；而生意谈判与竞争之策略是否得当，则关系到经济上之成败得失。即使在日常生活中，言谈技巧也关系到一人之处世为人之得体与否。当年苏秦凭其三寸不烂之舌，合纵六国，配六国相印，统领六国共同抗秦，显赫一时。而张仪又凭其谋略与游说技巧，将六国合纵土蹦瓦解，为秦国立下不朽功劳。所谓“智用于众人之所不能知，而能用于众人之所不能。”

   潜谋于无形，常胜于不争不费，此为《鬼谷子》之精髓所在。

   《孙子兵法》侧重于总体战略，而《鬼谷子》则专于具体技巧，两者可说是相辅相成。

   《鬼谷子》共有十四篇，其中第十三、十四篇已失传。《鬼谷子》的版本，常见者有道藏本及嘉庆十年江都秦氏刊本。

（　鬼谷子因隐居鬼谷而得名。淇县云梦山自南天门向西南有一道五里峡谷，鳌背奇峰，岩壑凝翠，这就是幽深莫测的鬼谷。）

南无阿弥陀佛。南无阿弥陀佛。南无阿弥陀佛。

南无本师释迦牟尼佛。福生无量天尊。孔子。耶稣。穆罕默德。

十方三世诸佛菩萨。

三界十方一切神仙。

古今中外一切圣贤。 

     诸恶莫作，众善奉行。持之以恒、有求必应。       

诸葛长青：诸恶莫作、众善奉行，持之以恒、有求必应。
