Abstract

Abstract: Prince Zhu Chun (1378-1423) , the first ruler of Shu, paid attention to educating people with poetry, calligraphy, rites and music. Recently, the publication of the collection of Xian Yuan Rui Zhi Collection in the Ming Dynasty in the Japanese cabinet library provided valuable first-hand information of Zhu Chun's life and thought. From the many contents related to Daoism in the book, it can be seen that Zhu Chun has a clear tendency to believe in Daoism. He not only actively presides over the construction and management of Daoist temples in Shu, but also personally wrote many prayers and participated in Daoist sacrificial rites, and was keen to make friends with well-known Daoist priests. Zhu Chun once wrote five letters to "Quanyi laoxian"全弌老仙, who, although can't be proved to be Zhang Sanfeng, but it can at least be sure that there are two reasons for Zhu chun to make friends with famous Daoists: one is to consolidate his ruling foundation, and the other is to obtain the secret of immortality.

Key words: The prince of Shu, Zhu Chun, Xian Yuan Rui Zhi Collection, Zhang Sanfeng
