What does the allusion about a person achieving enlightenment and chickens and dogs ascending to heaven refer to?

When one person attains the Dao and chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, it means that if one person attains the Dao and becomes an immortal, the whole family, including the chickens and dogs, will also ascend to heaven. It is a metaphor that when a person becomes an official, people who are related to him also become powerful. Satirize those who rely on power to gain promotion and wealth. gt; So, do you know who the protagonist is who achieves enlightenment and ascends to heaven? What is the allusion of a man who attained enlightenment and a chicken and a dog ascended to heaven? gt; The protagonist of "One Man Acquires the Way, Chickens and Dogs Ascend to Heaven" is Xu Xun. Some people will definitely wonder how I came to this conclusion. Not to mention that there are many versions of "One Person Acquires the Way, Chickens and Dogs Ascend to Heaven." Now let's take a look at the idiom about "One Person Acquires the Way, Chickens and Dogs Ascend to Heaven". Who does the allusion refer to? An allusion about a man who obtained the Tao and a chicken and a dog ascended to heaven gt; Now let’s talk about Xu Xun, Xu Xun, a famous Taoist figure in the Jin Dynasty, Xu Zhenjun, whose surname was Xu Mingxun and given name Jingzhi. Mr. Yang. He held an honest official position and worked for the benefit of the people and eliminated harm. Later, he abandoned his official position and returned to his hometown, where he cultivated his moral character and refined elixirs in Xishan, Xinjian County. gt; Xu Xun was good at medicine. He treated people's diseases, cured them with medicine, and rejuvenated them with his wonderful skills. He was famous far and wide. At that time, there was a flood in Nanchang. It is said that there was a dragon that often turned over the clouds and rain, caused floods and harmed the people. Xu Xun used the divine sword to capture the dragon and lock it in the octagonal well. From then on, the water was calm, the weather was smooth, and the grain was plentiful. gt; It is said that 1500 years ago, on the first day of the eighth lunar month in the second year of Ningkang in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (AD 374), Xu Xun attained enlightenment in Xishan when he was 136 years old. All the domestic animals were taken. 136-year-old Xu Zhenjun and his family of 42 ascended to heaven together, including their houses, chickens and dogs. He also said that someone saw a few tiles falling down at that time, so later generations called it Luowa Village. The allusion that "when a person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven" comes from this record. gt; In order to commemorate Xu Xun, later generations built a Taoist temple at the site of his ascension, eventually forming the Wanshou Palace, which later became the birthplace of Taoism's purity, loyalty, and filial piety. gt; There are six versions remaining. gt; Version 1 gt; Recruiting the Taoist people from all over the world, giving the country the respect of the country, and bringing Taoists and magicians together, so Taoists and magicians will gather in Huainan, and everyone will strive for strange prescriptions and magic. The king then attained enlightenment, his family ascended to heaven, his livestock and livestock were all immortals, dogs barked in the sky, and roosters crowed in the clouds. (Han Wang Chong's "Lun Heng Daoxu") gt; Version 2 gt; Liu An (about 179 BC - 122 BC) was a famous Taoist believer in ancient China. He was born in the royal family of the Han Dynasty and liked to socialize. Because he was generous and generous, he attracted many talents and was granted a high title by the emperor, and was later promoted to "King of Huainan". Soon, as his treason was exposed, he was forced to commit suicide. gt; It is said that Liu An loved reading, playing the piano, and did some good things for the local people when he was an official. He also recruited thousands of guests and alchemists to collectively compile "Huainan Honglie" (also known as "Huainanzi"). The book is a famous work in ancient China, including 21 "inner chapters" and 33 "outer chapters". The "inner chapters" have been passed down to this day. gt; In addition, people also say that Liu An did not commit suicide, but that he had practiced elixirs for a long time and finally achieved success. One day he took the elixir, and some of it scattered on the ground and was eaten by his chickens and dogs. As a result, Liu An and his chickens and dogs flew into the sky and became gods. Therefore, there is a Chinese idiom that "one person can achieve enlightenment" , chickens and dogs ascend to heaven." gt; gt; Version 3 gt; Another theory is that during the reign of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, there was a man named Zhang Bairen who was very virtuous and did good deeds. He managed a land with a radius of dozens of miles so that he would not pick up any lost items along the way and never close his house at night. At that time, there was chaos in the fairy world and no one was governing it. After the Barefoot Immortal and other immortals found Zhang Bairen, he felt that this person was very suitable to manage the immortal world, so he discussed with several immortals to let Zhang Bairen be the Jade Emperor. When they found Zhang Bairen and told them about this, Zhang Bairen was very picky and had to take everything with him, even the chickens and dogs to the sky. The pigs were playful and ran out to play when they ascended to heaven. So we didn’t bring it to heaven. This is why we use pig heads to sacrifice. Therefore, when a person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. gt; Version 5gt; During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, King Liu An of Huainan was a devout believer in cultivating Taoism and refining elixirs. Once he met eight old men with gray hair and childlike faces. He worshiped them as his disciples and learned to cultivate Taoism and refining elixirs. After the elixir was refined, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent people to arrest him. He was in a hurry. After drinking the elixir, he became an immortal and ascended to heaven. His relatives and friends also quickly drank the medicine and became immortals.

The Liu family's chickens and dogs also became immortals after eating the elixir in the alchemy pot. As the saying goes, one person attains enlightenment, and chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. This is where the saying comes from. gt; Version 6gt; According to Mr. Chen Xianyuan's "Hanzhong Stele", from the reign of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty to Yuanhe (168-184), people built a temple for the "Tang Gongfang uprooted the house and ascended to heaven" in Chenggu (now Chenggu County) , erect a monument and pay homage to this immortal. The monument is engraved with a magical and touching story. gt; The inscription states that in the second year of Han Ju She (AD 7), there was a man named Tang Gongfang in Xujiamiao, present-day Chenggu County, who served as an official in the government office of Hanzhong County (governing Xicheng, today's Ankang). One day in his hometown in Chenggu, he met a real man who cultivated immortality and attained Taoism. He worshiped this real man as his teacher and sent the master delicious melons to taste. The real man was impressed by his sincerity and asked him to go to his son-in-law Gukou Mountain to give him elixir. After taking the elixir, Gongfang was able to distinguish the languages ????of birds and animals, and walked as fast as flying. The county government hundreds of miles away arrived in an instant, and the villagers and county guards were very surprised. The governor of Hanzhong County then learned from Gongfang, but he still couldn't get it right. Thinking that Gongfang had a master who deliberately refused to teach him, and wanted to harm Gongfang and his family, he ordered his men to go to Chenggu to capture Tang's wife and children. Tang told the master about this situation, and the master said there was no need to panic. He had a magical medicine that could fly away after taking it and escape the bad luck. The wife of the Tang Dynasty missed the house and livestock, and the immortal painted the house with elixir. The whole family and livestock took the elixir: "In a moment, a strong wind and black clouds came to welcome the wife of the public house, and the house and animals disappeared with her in a sudden." So "roosters crow in the sky" and "dogs bark in the clouds." This is the story of Tang Gongfang's family "rising to heaven in the daytime" and "uprooting the family and ascending" recorded in the stele.
