Broadly speaking, all numerology techniques, including Zhouyi Bagua, Taiyi, Liu Ren, Daoism, Bird Star, Chen Cong, fencing, geomancy, wind angle, astrology, loneliness, etc., can be collectively called fortune telling, all of which provide people with good or bad luck information through certain methods.
In a narrow sense, choosing auspicious dates refers to a method of choosing auspicious days and auspicious times based on the calendar of cadres and branches, calculating according to the auspicious and unlucky values of year, month, day and hour, and making comprehensive reference to determine the way to avoid evil. To put it simply, the so-called auspicious day is to choose it according to a certain method, so people directly call it "choosing a day", "watching a day" and "choosing a day". In ancient times, it was also called "Ji Juan" and "Georgie".
The art of choosing good luck was formed in the Han Dynasty, and there are many schools. According to the biographies of Japanese historians and Han Shufang's books, the technique of choosing good luck in Han Dynasty includes five elements, integrity, building and moving, Chen Cong, calendar, heaven and man, Taiyi, Feng Jiao, Qimen, Zheng Qi, Yuan Qi, six days and seven minutes, various trades and Japanese styles, and it is quite specialized.
The characteristic of choosing good luck in Han dynasty is "divide". The theories of various factions are self-contained. The technique of choosing good luck in later generations is characterized by combination. Various theories are integrated, and the Gregorian calendar is the form of expression. So what we are seeing now, that is, the technique of auspicious choice and the Gregorian calendar, is a synthesis of auspicious choice.
Lucky selection is a complex system that integrates many theories, so its theoretical system is extremely complicated. As far as we know, it at least includes the following contents:
1. Main branch system;
2. Theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements: including Yin-Yang theory, the coordination of Yin-Yang and Five Elements, the coordination of trunk and branch, the flourishing phase of the five elements and parasitic zodiac signs, the positive five elements, the middle needle Shuang Shan five elements, the sewing needle three-in-one five elements, Hong Fan five elements and so on.
3. Eight diagrams theory: including river map, Luo Shu, innate gossip, acquired eight diagrams, divination in December, three-in-one eight diagrams, changing one's mind in a small tour year, changing one's mind in a big tour year and so on.
4. Yin Nanajia;
5. Twelve straight roads, that is, twelve passengers build, divide, fill, level, set, hold, break, danger, success, close, open and close.
6. Twenty-eight nights;
7. Nine planets, also known as Jiugong;
8. Six Obsidian, also known as Kongming Six Obsidian Star;
9. The underworld of the ecliptic;
10, geomantic theory;
1 1.
The reason why auspicious natural selection is difficult and mysterious lies not only in the complexity and vastness of its theoretical system, but also in its huge grotesque team of ghosts and gods. In essence, the art of choosing good luck and its calendar are a world composed of gods and evil spirits and dominated by them. When you know about evil spirits, you will know the skills of choosing good luck and the zodiac.
Because the lucky gods and evil spirits come from different systems, which are not only numerous, but also good and bad. Up to now, it is difficult for most ghosts and gods to find their original ownership, and they can only be divided into four systems according to their different movement cycles: year, month, day and time.
In a year, gods and evil spirits decide the good and bad luck in all directions in a year, with Tai Sui as the leader and divided into two camps: good and evil. Evil spirits mainly include Sui Bian, General, Taiyin, Huang Zan, Leopard Tail, Sui Sha, Sui Jian, Golden God, Lux, Silkworm Officer, Silkworm Life, Sangmen, Hangke, Dead Elephant, Sick Elephant, Robber, Disaster, Fei Lian, White Tiger, Great Consumption and Ambush. There are three kinds of good gods, namely, old virtue, old virtue, old virtue, old virtue, old doctor, writing books and so on. Tai sui itself is not good or bad. Stacking auspicious stars is auspicious, and stacking fierce is fierce. Because Tai Sui is the head of the gods, the power trend is fierce, so it is a great disaster to stack Tai Sui with fierce stars, and Tai Sui with auspicious stars is prosperous. So the old general's book says, "If you are expensive, you will be old."
The luna-like deity determines the good and bad luck of all parties in January, and it is divided into two camps: good and evil. The good gods are led by Tiande, with Yuede, Tiande Hehe, Yuede Hehe, Tianwei, Tian Yue, Yueen, Yuekong, Yao 'an, Yuyu, Jintang, Jingtang, Puhu, Fu Sheng, Sacred Heart, Houyi, the afterlife, Yinde, Yang De, Tianma, Five Blessingg and Yima. The evil spirits include the evil spirits of the moon, the punishment of the moon, the evil spirits of the moon, the fatigue of the moon, the great evil spirits, the wandering evil spirits, the celestial officials, the nine empty places, the earth capsule, the nine ridges, the nine focal places, the celestial officials, the earth officials, the flying evil spirits, the wandering fire of the moon, the Tai Sui of the underworld and the Yuekeshan family. As in traditional times, there is no absolute good or bad luck. Stacking auspicious gods is good, stacking evil gods is fierce.
Sun-like gods and evil gods determine the good or bad of a day, and they are also divided into two categories: good and evil. Good people include Tianen, Wuhe, Sanhe, Baori, Yiri, Bajinri, Bajinri, Wangri, Xiangri, Shouri, Minri, Tianwu, Yi Tian, Fude, Homesickness, Yang De, Shiyang, Angry, Liuyi, Yin Shi, Linri, Bujiang, Fusheng, Kimcang and Tian. The evils are four taboos, four poverty, four waste, four unique skills, death, eight winds, touching hoses, four strikes, river length, five deficiency, five separation, power aversion, ostentation and extravagance, blood taboo, blood taboo, death, loneliness, death, defeat, salty pool, cruelty and hostility.
When gods and evil spirits master good and bad only at certain times of the day, they should be avoided. There are mainly Rilu, Rima, Sunshade, Master Sun, Sun Punishment, Tianyi Noble, Western Gods, Celebrities, Fuxing Noble, Five Unfortunates, Road Blocking and Empty Death, Rijian, Rihe, Qinglong, Tang Ming, Tianqi, Suzaku, Jingui, Baoguang, Baihu, Yutang, Tianlong, Yuan Wu and Siming.
The strength of gods and evil spirits are different from each other. Their so-called good and evil, good and bad, are generally different and not absolute. For example, the eight winds touch the water dragon and hate people crossing the water; Sepulchre is a special day, which aims to make trouble for military conquerors. It is not appropriate to memorialize on Anti-Japanese Day; It is absolutely inappropriate to leave the army for a long trip; It is not appropriate to marry Shangguan on the first day of the month; It is not advisable to avoid it far away; Blood taboo should not be acupuncture, and so on, all are in charge and targeted. Outside their duties, they don't care what they do. Therefore, we should not only master the laws of the operation of ghosts and gods, but also understand their legitimacy and taboos, so as to decide to obey them.
Knowing the law of the operation of ghosts and gods, knowing what to avoid, there is no mystery in choosing the next auspicious party. Its basic principle is eight words: "take things as the key link, take God as the purpose", or "take things as the classics and take God as the latitude". The meaning of these two sentences is to choose an auspicious day and start with something. According to the nature of what you do, find the good god who can bring the best prosperity, make clear the evil spirit that is most likely to cause catastrophe, and then calculate the day when the good god is worthy of peace. This is a "auspicious day" and an auspicious side. Then figure out the day when evil spirits deserve it and the right side, that is, the "evil day in the underworld" and the evil side that needs to be avoided.
Therefore, the first step in choosing good luck is to find out which gods choose good luck. What is its operation track and temperament? What is the degree of strength and the severity of good and evil? Wait a minute. Then, according to the things to be handled, look for the most suitable auspicious qi and the most taboo evil qi, and seek good fortune and avoid evil. In principle, everything has one or several auspicious gods that are most suitable for it and fierce gods that are taboo for it. What you do is clear, what you should avoid is clear, and then you can get the auspicious side you want one by one according to the actions of the gods.
The technique of choosing good luck in later generations is a synthesis of various techniques of choosing good luck in Han Dynasty. Therefore, its gods and evil spirits are not only numerous, but also good and bad, each with its own differences. Almost every year, every month, every day, even every hour, there are good luck and evil spirits, which is contradictory. If an evil spirit tries to avoid it, there are almost no working days in 365 days a year. Therefore, the choice of good luck must not be completely constrained by the good or bad luck of the gods, but should have the principle of choice and flexible methods. The principle of choosing good luck and using good days is: "where good luck is enough to overcome evil, it is appropriate not to avoid it;" Where good luck and bad luck are balanced, what is good and happy is still taboo; "If you are not lucky enough, you will never avoid it." Specifically, there are six kinds of auspicious, evil and evil mixed together, which are treated separately. First, good luck wins the battle, and it is advisable not to avoid it. Second, it is enough for evil to be rewarded with good. When it comes to virtue, it is advisable not to avoid it. If you don't meet, you must avoid it. Third, good luck is not equal to evil. When it comes to virtue, it is good and it is advisable not to avoid it. If you don't meet, you will never avoid it. Fourth, fierceness is better than luck, and when it comes to virtue, it will cancel each other out and can never be avoided; If you don't meet, you will never avoid it. Fifth, you will be very fierce, and you will never shy away when you meet Germany. If you don't meet, everything is taboo. Sixth, the fierce stack is fierce, and everything is still taboo in Germany. Regardless of the strength, it is not a fierce confrontation.
