老子落户芮城说

On Lao Zi's Settling down in Ruicheng

老子出生在楚国苦县厉乡曲仁里,经过努力而进入周朝王室而任守藏史,转为柱下史。后西出函谷关,受关令尹喜之邀,写出《道德经》。之后,老子北渡黄河,进入河东芮城境内,参拜九峰山天然内经图,并翻过中山瞻仰轩辕之丘,登上昆仑山拜西王母。之后回到九峰山隐居,安家落户在魏国,即今天的芮城。其子李宗因为战功被魏王封在段干,即今天的上段村,所以姓了段干。而段干木乃是老子的孙子,著名的法家李悝,也是老子的别孙。

Lao Zi was born in Qurenli, Li Township, Ku County of the ancient Kingdom Chu. Through his efforts, he was promoted as a guard and librarian of treasury, and then an Imperial Secretary of Zhou Dynasty. Later westbound to Hangu Pass, he wrote Tao Te Ching at the invitation of the Pass head Yinxi. And later, going north across the Yellow River and into Ruicheng territory, he visited the Natural Neijing View of Nine - peak Mountains; and crossing Zhongshan mountains he visited the Xuanyuan Hill and climbed Kunlun Mountains to worship the Queen Mother of the West. After returning to the Nine Peaks, he settled down in Wei State, namely today＇ s Ruicheng. Because of his outstanding military exploits, his son Li Zong was presented with vavasory by King of Wei in Duan Gan city which is today＇ s Shangduan Village, so he changed his surname as Duangan. And Duandan Mu was Lao Zi＇s grandson, and the famous Legalist Li Kui, is also Lao Zi＇s grandson.
