It is generally believed that Yu Pei can ward off evil spirits, but do you know that Yu Pei also has some pressure?
Because my father was in the jade business in his early years, I learned all these things well.
1 Many people say that men bring Guanyin and women bring Buddha. In fact, this is more general. Different lives are suitable for wearing different jade. There are also harmless ones that do not need to wear jade. Usually, the common ones, such as Guanyin, Buddha, gourd, zodiac, longevity lock and magic weapon, can be worn by everyone, but not everyone, such as Guan Gong and Zhong Kui, can wear them, depending on whether the eight characters are hard enough, otherwise it will be harmful.
When choosing jade, you must see the workmanship clearly, especially the expressions of some idols. I used to have a friend who wore a jade goddess of mercy and looked like crying instead of laughing. He was unlucky for a while, but now he doesn't wear it.
Jade itself has the function of avoiding evil spirits, and basically does not need to open the light. If necessary, it must be opened. After opening, no one can touch the jade except the closest relatives, and the legend will be taken away.
Don't give jade to others easily (except the closest relatives, of course), otherwise the blessing given to the jade person will bring the jade person, and the gift given to the jade person will be unlucky. If necessary, ask the person who receives the red envelope to give you a small red envelope, so that you won't be unlucky.
Remember, immortals can't see "dirty things", so you must take off the jade when you sleep at night. Otherwise, having sex with your husband (wife) will offend the gods.
It is normal that some jade will have some cracks. The so-called "ten treasures and nine cracks", the rarer the jade, the easier it is to have cracks (it is said that what bloodshot will appear after jade channeling is actually cracks). These cracks are probably caused by bumping, swelling with heat and shrinking with cold, and of course they may also be caused to help you block evil spirits. If the direction of cracks in light is transverse, there is no need to make a fuss; If the fruit cracks vertically, it proves that jade has blocked evil spirits for you and has no aura. Such jade can no longer be worn (let alone thrown away, find a good place to keep it! )
As mentioned before, many people now wear jade to make money. There is also some pressure to wear magic. Magic is usually made into a curved body. (of course, it is also made straight, eat more and spit less, or don't bring it. When wearing it, the mouth of the magic statue should face outwards, and never face yourself.
The statue of Guan Yu holding the dragon crescent moon blade and Guan Yu's temples are all over the country, which is one of the most temples among the gods in China. The ancient god of war was originally a "soldier saint" Chiyou. As far as official sacrifices are concerned, there were martial temples in the early Tang Dynasty, but Jiang Ziya, the famous Zhou Dynasty, was the main one, supplemented by Guan Yu. At the latest in the late Northern Song Dynasty, there was a "county town well" in the temple dedicated to Guan Yu (Hao Jing's Lingchuan Collection). Although the court of the Yuan Dynasty believed in Lamaism, it did not restrain the people's faith, so the people's faith in Guan Yu increased, and the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty also sent envoys to sacrifice. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, temples dedicated to Guan Yu have spread all over China and extended to Mongolia, Tibet, the Korean Peninsula and even overseas. Today, in old Beijing alone, there are more than 100 temples dedicated to Guan Gong or both.
Because Guan Yu is worshipped not only by Confucianism, but also by Taoism and Buddhism, Guan Yu is a god who spans the three major China sects of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism. But among them, Guan Yu of Confucianism more embodies the true colors of Guan Yu.
With the prominence of Guan Yu's position, Guan Yu was honored as "King of Martial Arts" and "Warrior Sage", standing side by side with Confucius. It is precisely because Guan Yu is so prominent that he is worshipped not only by soldiers and martial artists, but also by unrelated industries such as gold painting, tobacco, incense, education and fortune telling. He also worshipped Guan Yu, thus turning him into Wu Caishen and one of the five famous Wenchang.
Hong kong faith
In Hong Kong, the police and the underworld are antagonistic. Triads were Taoist anti-Qing gangs in the early days, so they would worship Guan Yu, the Taoist god. The habit of the police worshipping Guan Di originated from a China inspector in Yau Ma Tei Police Station in 1960s and 1930s, and later extended to various disciplinary departments, such as fire control and customs. They also admired and respected Guan Yu, calling him Guan Gore, Guan Gong, Guan Di and Guan Ye Er. Because both sides believe that Guan Gong is a person who will faithfully defend himself, neither side believes that there is a conflict of beliefs.
Many shops in Hong Kong are dedicated to Guan Yu, hoping to bless them. There are also many temples dedicated to Guan Yu in Hong Kong. The Wuwen Temple in hollywood road, Hong Kong is very famous.
Guan Yu is also known by the people as Wu Caishen, the god of wealth in civil and military affairs, and the god of wealth is a comparison.
Faith in Taiwan Province Province
Believers in Guandi Temple. Wearing blue uniforms are service students who are famous for electric shock equipment, mostly elderly women. In Taiwan Province Province, temples dedicated to Guan Yu are also quite common. In addition to the general Wu temple, small temple and shrine, there is also a large Guandi temple called Enzhuren Temple, of which Xingtiangong is the most famous.
The so-called "benefactor" is a noun of Luan Tang belief, which means "savior". The so-called benefactors in Taiwan Province are Guan Yu, Lv Dongbin, Zhang Dan, Wang Shan and Yue Fei. Guan Yu is the first of the five benefactors, so people in Taiwan Province Province also call Guan Yu a benefactor, and therefore conveniently call Guandi Temple a "benefactor temple".
In addition, some followers of Jainism or Taoism call Guan Yu "the 18th Jade Emperor", that is, the 18th generation of God's will. This statement is most prosperous in southern Fujian, and Taiwan Province Province has also inherited this statement.
Foreign reputation
In countries such as Britain and America, as long as there is a Chinese community, Guan Yu is bound to be sacrificed.
According to Komatsuda's Illustrated World History, there are countless Guandi temples in Japan, where Guan Yu is regarded as the god of learning and career.
