I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

Article 124's outrageous operation
Do not understand.

not understand.

But it was a big shock.

"How did Director Cheng Sheng know that Tieshan Temple had Buddhist scriptures hidden there?"

This is what everyone is most curious about.

How did a director, who isn't an archaeologist, know there were scriptures here?
"Director Cheng often says that he likes history and that his films respect historical facts. When he was writing the script for 'The Yellow Turban Rebellion in the Three Kingdoms,' he consulted a lot of history related to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, as well as some folk legends."

"There has long been a folk legend that Tieshan Temple hides a gold treasure, but to this day, no treasure related to gold has been found. In 2001, when Tieshan Temple was rebuilt, the construction company used modern equipment to search the entire area, but found no gold treasure, which made everyone doubt the authenticity of the treasure..."

Upon hearing Xiao Lu's account, the reporters nodded in agreement. Indeed, the news of the gold treasure at Tieshan Temple had attracted many people to search for it, but none of them had ever discovered it.

In particular, the reconstruction in 2001 directly debunked the rumor that the gold treasure was fake.

But what does this have to do with Director Cheng Sheng? How would he know that there are scriptures hidden here?

"Director Cheng Sheng was very interested in this rumor, so he looked up some information about Zhang Jiao's life and found that Zhang Jiao did indeed come to Tieshan Temple. As for whether he came here to hide gold, that remains to be seen. The rumor is that the gold came from four words—'hidden gold here'!"

"These four words remind everyone of gold, and Zhang Jiao hid the gold here."

"Then Director Cheng thought of another possibility: the 'jing' that Zhang Jiao hid here was not the 'jin' of gold, but the 'jing' of scriptures."

"Director Cheng told us about this hypothesis. At the time, we were a little skeptical, but Director Cheng's reasoning was very logical, so it might be correct. Therefore, our museum contacted archaeological experts to investigate Tieshan Temple."

"Finally, our hard work paid off, and we found Zhang Jiao's treasure. Just as Director Cheng speculated, Zhang Jiao hid scriptures, not gold. This is why many people have not found gold here for thousands of years."

Wow!

After hearing Xiaolu's story about the treasure, everyone was stunned.

This was something no one expected.

It turns out that sutra and gold are different.

Moreover, everyone was shocked by Cheng Sheng's prowess; he actually managed to get archaeological experts to find such a large number of national treasures based on a rumor and his own speculation.

For the Chinese nation, these scriptures were more important than gold.

"Director Cheng is a detail maniac. He even managed to find a treasure while writing the script. It's outrageous."

"When 'The Great Tang Dynasty - Origins' was being made, Director Cheng donated the Qin King's Battle Music. Do you think he found it while writing the script?"

"I can't believe that a filmmaker could help the country find a priceless treasure."

"Let's go, we must go to Wuxi Film City to interview Director Cheng."

The press conference ended, and everyone was buzzing with discussion. Every reporter wanted to interview Cheng Sheng right away.

There are many people who like history, so why is it that Cheng Sheng can find the lost treasure of China in history?
Compared to those history professors, Cheng Sheng seems more like a history professor!

News about the press conference was quickly uploaded online.

Everyone was shocked by the news.

[It turns out the treasure wasn't gold, but Buddhist scriptures.] [Zhang Jiao was quite a shrewd man! Of all things to hide, he hid scriptures—they weren't worth much back then.]

[Wow, you've got it wrong! The *Taiping Jing* was a gift from an immortal to Zhang Jiao. In ancient times, uprisings needed a legitimate reason, like Liu Bei's slogan, "I am a descendant of Prince Jing of Zhongshan." In short, his rebellion was legitimized by propriety. Zhang Jiao also needed a legitimate reason, and his name was the *Taiping Jing* given to him by the immortal. He was entrusted by the immortal to act on behalf of Heaven.]

[The person upstairs must be a history major! Their research is so detailed.]

Dear experts, I have a question: Is the *Taiping Jing* the same as the *Taiping Yaoshu*?

[I'll answer this. I know the answer. The *Taiping Jing* is not the *Taiping Yaoshu*. According to historical records, Zhang Jiao was given three volumes of heavenly books by immortals, called the *Taiping Jing*, the *Taiping Qingling Shu*, and the *Taiping Yaoshu*. These books played a crucial role in his founding of the Way of Great Peace and launching the uprising.]

Let me explain the functions of these three books in detail and give you some background knowledge. The book "Taiping Yaoshu" is considered to be the main theoretical basis for Zhang Jiao's founding of the Way of Great Peace.

It encompasses various aspects of Taoist philosophy, theology, medicine, divination, and more, providing Zhang Jiao with rich ideological and theoretical support.

Through the *Taiping Yaoshu* (Essential Techniques of Great Peace), Zhang Jiao was able to systematically expound his religious views, attracting a large number of believers and gradually forming the Taiping Dao (Way of Great Peace) with its own unique characteristics.

Secondly, there is the "Taiping Qingling Book".

This book mainly records Zhang Jiao's military strategies and organizational management principles during the leadership of the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

It emphasizes a disciplined and strictly enforced military style, as well as a people-centered and divinely ordained political philosophy.

Through the "Taiping Qingling Shu" (Book of Great Peace and Clear Control), Zhang Jiao successfully organized a massive rebel army, which quickly swept across the entire Eastern Han Dynasty.

Finally, there is the *Taiping Jing*.

This book was written by Zhang Jiao in the later stages of the uprising, and it mainly expounds his views and propositions on social politics, economy, culture and other aspects.

It emphasizes values ​​such as equality, justice, and harmony, and proposes many progressive social reform plans.

Through the *Taiping Jing*, Zhang Jiao attempted to seek broader social support and recognition for the rebel army he led.

Are there so many history majors online these days? It's giving me the creeps.

[Damn, I took the college entrance exam this year and chose history...]

[To the person upstairs: Make a rational choice. History majors don't have an easy time finding jobs. You'll either end up digging graves or washing dishes.]

[Forget about history! Talk about Cheng Sheng! He's the one who discovered the Buddhist scriptures at Tieshan Temple.]

[If you ask me, Cheng Sheng shouldn't be a director; he should just go do archaeology. He could find Zhang Jiao's treasure even in his scripts.]

[Cheng Sheng found the Qin King's Battle Song while filming "The Origins of the Tang Dynasty." If he makes a movie about the Qin Dynasty in the future, will he dig up the First Emperor himself?]

We don't need to dig up the First Emperor's tomb; as long as we can find the Imperial Seal, that's enough.

Hehe, then I support Cheng Sheng making a Qin Dynasty movie.

【I support it too, my whole family supports it.】

[Damn it, that's the Imperial Seal!]

[Police: Did you find the Imperial Seal of the State? Me: I didn't. Police: Really not? Me: A ruler's word is law. Police: Then what's that big lump in your pocket? Me: This is my ID card.]
