The art of "wearing victory" means "wearing and winning". It is a method of using magic curses or prayers to achieve the purpose of defeating people, objects or monsters that you hate. (weary to win) "weary to win" , "Cihai" explanation: A kind of witchcraft used by ancient alchemists, which means that it can subdue people or things with curses. The word "Yan" here is pronounced ya (Yin Ping rhyme), which is connected with "pressure", and has the meaning of overturning, fitting, inhibiting, blocking, hiding, and suppressing. You can often see some unattractive objects, such as carved peach boards, peach figures, jade Bagua tablets, jade animal tablets, swords, door gods, etc. The most common and abundant one is Weishengqian, also called Pressure Shengqian, which is a lucky charm or evil-proofing product cast in the shape of coins. The front of this kind of money is cast with words such as "Long Live the Qianqiu", "Peace in the World", "Good Luck in and Out", "Easy Room and IKEA", etc., and the back has patterns of stars, Pisces, turtles, snakes, dragons and phoenixes for wear and appreciation. Not many stall owners understand this, so they all refer to it as "spending money". Being tired of borrowing things has existed since ancient times. I only remember a poem "Yuan Ri" written by Wang Anshi: "The sound of firecrackers marks the end of the year, and the spring breeze brings warmth to Tusu. Thousands of households always replace old talismans with new peaches." I know that every year in the Song Dynasty During the New Year, every household sets off firecrackers and puts peach charms on their doors to ward off evil and bring good fortune, which means being tired of winning. These are superstitions rather than customs. They are folk rituals for everyone to seek good fortune and a good mood at the end of the year. This ceremony continues to this day. Instead of changing the peach charms, it is replaced by changing the Spring Festival couplets. Firecrackers are still set off. The ceremony is still similar to that of the ancients. The real meaning is the same as that of the ancients. Not only the Spring Festival, but also the lighting of lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the planting of mugwort on the Dragon Boat Festival, eating moon cakes on the Mid-Autumn Festival, and drinking realgar wine on the Double Ninth Festival on September 9 are also customary, no different from the ancients, and there are even new ones. The meaning is in it. But since it is a national holiday, there are many elements of joy, and the element of being tired of winning has been downplayed. The real aversion to victory is when a professional casts a spell on a certain matter and has to use props. The professional is the goddess, and the prop is the aversion to victory. The professional uses the aversion to victory to transform this originally good thing or Bad things overturn, inhibit, hide or block. There is such a story in the Rongguo Mansion in "A Dream of Red Mansions": Wang Xifeng and Jia Baoyu were sick and had nightmares about ghosts and gods. Jia Mu quickly sent someone to invite Taoist Ma, the godmother in Baoyu's name. , Taoist Ma is a professional who is proficient in Shinto. After Taoist Ma came, she drew a few pictures on Baoyu's face with her fingers, muttered and chanted for a while, and said: "Just keep it, this is nothing." It's a sudden disaster." He also told Jia's mother to pay respect to the Bodhisattva with great light and shine, and to add more fragrant oil to the ever-bright lamp. Seeing that Jia's mother did not give her a reward, she told Jia Zheng's concubine Zhao Aunt Zhao to use the method of disgusting victory: "Write his two years and Geng horoscopes on the two paper figures, and hide five ghosts on each of them." It's all done in bed. I just do it at home and it will be effective." Aunt Zhao did so, and as expected, Baoyu's head hurt even more. This shows that Taoist Aunt Ma is very capable and has superb professional skills. Later, something happened to Taoist Aunt Ma and she was arrested. "I searched around and found a box, in which there were ivory carvings of a man and a woman, naked and undressed, two demon kings, and seven red embroidery needles. . Immediately sent to Jinyi Mansion to find out the hidden secrets of many officials and ladies of wealthy families, so they notified the camp and ransacked her house, finding many clay sculptures of evil spirits, several boxes of incense, and an empty room behind the kang. There is a seven-star lamp hanging inside, and there are several straw men under the lamp, some with headbands on their heads, some with nails on their chests, and some with chains on their necks. "Look at what is said in "A Dream of Red Mansions", This aversion to winning is really effective. Taoist Aunt Ma is causing trouble. In fact, in daily life, it is rare to use aversion to win to harm others. Most of the activities of aversion to victory are to avoid evil and seek good luck, and to prevent it before it happens. It is enough to do a little ritual of aversion to victory and wear a small object of aversion to victory. Once you have it, you will feel relieved no matter what you do. This is actually a method of spiritual victory. After getting tired of winning, the psychological burden is gone, the body is healthy, and the family is safe. On the streets in summer, you can see many men hanging jade plaques and jade faces on their waists to ward off evil spirits; men and women wearing jade braves on their wrists do so to accumulate wealth, and the bravery can only eat it. "Being tired of winning is also called overwhelming. No matter how you call it, in the final analysis, it is still a kind of witchcraft. It is to use some props and a form to suppress the bad things that are expected to happen or have happened. Don't let the things that may happen happen, and let the things that have happened not develop or be transformed into good aspects. If the bad guys use pressure to win, then the opposite is true. They use this form and props to make bad things happen, and make bad things that have already happened develop. For example, Baoyu, who originally had a headache, Taoist Ma taught Aunt Zhao how to do it. Overwhelmed, Baoyu's head hurt even more. The following content is just a legend and has no scientific basis. It cannot be true. It is just a more vivid explanation of the aversion to victory in carpentry: "Carpentry is a kind of aversion to victory", which originated from ancient witchcraft. It is a legend after the Yuan Dynasty. The increasing prosperity reflects the craftsmen's mentality of seeking social attention and better treatment through their own myths. Superstitious people sometimes use it as a way to vent their anger or to cause harm. It is impossible to verify when this folk custom originated, but it should be at least after humans began to settle down and needed to build houses. The custom and belief of "carpenters hate winning" has a very long history in ancient China. Much evidence of this can be found in numerous historical documents.
Volume 7 of "Shuo Yong Xu" cites several stories in Yang Mu's "Xishu Miscellaneous Notes": 1: Odd Fight: A carpenter took advantage of the owner not paying attention and hid two naked puppets with disheveled hair fighting each other on the beams of the house. , so that the family could hear the sound of fighting in the house every night: "Brick Dai Xiao": Due to the dirty work of the carpentry, the Han family in Gaoqiao had constant mourning for more than 40 years. Later, after the beams were destroyed by the wind and rain, they were added to the wall. A filial piety scarf wrapped in bricks was found. Three: Burning the keel: A wealthy businessman in Wu hired a carpenter to build a ship. Because the "supply tools were a little thin," he suspected that the carpenter had other intentions. So when he watched the carpenter finishing work, he lurked at the stern of the ship at night and eavesdropped. He happened to see the carpenter using the keel. The ax hit the wooden keel and chanted the incantation. Later, two years before leaving the ship, it came true. It was either windy or rainy, and everything went badly. The rich man was suspicious, so he broke the boat, took out the wooden dragon, and threw it into boiling oil to fry. The carpenter fell ill at the house next door. Knowing that the incident was exposed, he came over and begged for his life, but the rich man ignored his request and continued to fry the puppet. The carpenter fell to the ground and died. . It is said that when a disgusting thing is discovered, only by throwing it into the fire or frying it in boiling oil can its witchcraft effect be broken, so that the owner's family can regain peace, and the perpetrators will be punished accordingly. To a certain extent, this also reflects that although "Woodworker's Hate of Victory" relies on supernatural power, this supernatural power is not invincible and can eventually be cracked. The folk belief and custom that "carpenters are tired of winning" was quite popular in ancient China. Therefore, in order to prevent carpentry work from causing evil spirits or inadvertently colliding with certain gods, people usually use magic and sacrifices to defend themselves when building houses, such as burying ducks under the foundation of the house. It is called earth-pressing to suppress houses, etc., and different ethnic groups have different defense methods. With the development of society, the advancement of science and the improvement of culture, as well as the fast pace and diversification of modern lifestyles, people's superstitious concepts and concepts of ghosts and gods have become increasingly weak, and their ways of belief have also been simplified. "Woodworking is tired of winning" has also begun to gradually fade out of the stage of history. However, as a folklore phenomenon, the role it once played in history will remain in history forever. The following is about the carpentry related to architecture: Du Fu has a poem: When you don’t see the prefect of Shu during the Qin Dynasty, he carved stones to make three rhinoceroses. Although there has been a method of losing victory since ancient times, the natural river flows eastward. The people of Shu have been boasting for a thousand years, and they cannot get close to Zhang Yi Tower. If you lose your household registration this year, you may be ashamed of it. This poem talks about the Dujiangyan Irrigation Project of Li Bing, a water conservancy expert during the Warring States Period. In the Shu land that was guaranteed to last for 1,000 years, "droughts will lead to water infiltration, and rains will block the water gates. Therefore, floods and droughts follow people. If they don't know hunger, there will be no years of famine. This is known throughout the world." After "Tianfu", in the Tang Dynasty, he finally talked about it and damaged the fields, causing a catastrophe. Du Fu clearly stated in his poem that the victory-weary method was used in this excellent water conservancy project, and the breach was the retribution for the evil method used in the past. How is it used? There is a legend among carpenters that the man who built the Zhang Yi Building on the edge of Jiangyan in the capital was Gongshu Ban, that is, Lu Ban himself. After the building was completed, Lu Ban placed a small wooden man carrying a load in the recess of the beam. He placed a grain of rice on each side of the beam to maintain the balance of the wooden man. He left a message: The wooden man will not fall, and the water will not fall. Near Shu. 1000 years later, in the year when Dujiangyan burst, before the flood, a large-scale rat plague broke out in Shu. The mice will pull out all the grain you can find and eat it, even if you hide it on the beams. Therefore Du Fu said: Although there has been a method of hating victory since ancient times, it is natural for rivers to flow eastward. Being tired of winning means being tired of winning, not being invincible. If you violate objective laws, you will get no good results. In general, carpenters' aversion to victory cannot be used among peers, let alone on projects that were not built by oneself.
