Going out: in the north, it is called carrying a load, carrying incense and leading troops. In the south, it's called shelling, sitting down, setting the table, etc. There are many names depending on the region. But in the end it's all for the same purpose. A disciple (also called Ma Di) led the entrance of a fairy family to check things and see a doctor.
In ancient times, people believed in ghosts and gods, so there was a wizard industry that has continued to this day. According to legend, wizards are people who can communicate with ghosts and gods and transmit information. It is a profession based on the exchange of information between mortals and gods. It is responsible for uploading orders, bringing God's will to mortals, and then conveying their demands to the gods. This culture has been passed down to today and evolved into the form of a horse. Horses are commonly found in the north, and they are known as southern Maobei horses.
"Becoming a monk" means that some animal immortals, such as foxes, snakes and weasels, practice for hundreds of years, and then come to earth to accumulate merits for themselves, thus becoming immortals. Among the animal immortals, Huang Hu pythons are the most common and have the highest morality, so they are called four big families by the world. According to legend, Grandpa Hu San and Nai Hu San Tai are the most famous immortals in the family, who are responsible for guiding and supervising monks.
In order to practice, or because of accepting the task, the immortal who wants to start school as a horse wants to accumulate merits, achieve positive results, and educate the world, but it is not convenient to be an adult directly, or to treat people directly in a form, so he chooses human beings with immortal destiny and understanding as Xianger. People are also called disciples of horses, and they cooperate with each other to educate the world in the form of possession, so there is another profession-disciples of horses.
There are generally two kinds of fate between disciples and immortals. One is the fate of eternal life. Disciple was a boy of a righteous god or bodhisattva in a previous life, or a member of the elf family. Immortals and past lives are fathers and sons, brothers and disciples. Disciples themselves have certain powers, but they can't be used after reincarnation. Some of these disciples have gone down to the lower world, and some have taken on the task and lived in the next world. So from birth, I was tied to the gods, spent time together, accumulated virtue, and * * * became a positive result. There is also a disciple who is a continuation of the family's fate, that is, his ancestors once worshipped immortals, and later they died, and the immortals have not accumulated virtue and still remain on earth, so we should continue to find disciples to help them continue to burn incense and help others. In this way, they chose a wiser descendant from the descendants of the original disciple to inherit Tang Kou's great post.
Those disciples, because of reincarnation, forgot who they are and their responsibilities and powers. Plus, born in this era of real science, I can only take these things with a grain of salt. Therefore, through some means, such as unable to find diseases with unknown causes and all kinds of hardships in life, the immortal family told his disciples to enlighten them and let them believe in the immortal way and understand their tasks and responsibilities. At the same time, the relevant acupoints of the disciples were opened, which made it convenient for the immortal family to exchange information with the disciples in the future and to use the disciples' bodies more conveniently. This is also called "material grinding" and "disease grinding". Through these hardships, disciples can also observe the hardships of life and send out the will to help all beings. When the disciples know everything, their tasks and responsibilities, their purpose of coming into the world in this life, and their intention to take over Tangkou and go to Purdue sincerely, these sufferings will end one after another, and the immortals will be integrated with them, practice together and be tested together. When everything is ready, we will set up a court and make friends with others.
But the current situation is that eight out of ten people who call themselves Ma Xian can't see anything, and they are all accompanied by illness, years of economic bankruptcy, family difficulties and so on. Best of all, I spent a lot of money to finish the class, but I was not inspired and could do nothing. This is lucky. What's more, because this family is ruined.
These problems are mainly caused by unscrupulous, mercenary and greedy black-hearted disciples or charlatans. In order to make money, ordinary people who have no fairy fate and no fairy family will be tricked into setting up a fairy hall.
People who stand in the church have the idea of complacency, lust for magical powers and self-paralysis. In an attempt to escape from reality by establishing a church, all kinds of disappointments in real life are attributed to the suffering of immortals. I think everything will be fine when you leave the guild hall, and you can sit at home and make a fortune without working. Some people also say that being crazy for a long time is the suffering of the gods, and the soup mouth is not correct. Paralyze yourself every day, sit and eat empty mountains without working!
A long illness does not mean that there are immortals! It can be divided into true disease and deficiency disease. Master Heyang of Wei Zi studied horses all the year round and summed up the experience that being a horse is different from starting a career. Being a disciple of Mark is equivalent to being the messenger of the fairy above, but it is passed down in different ways, so be careful.
Five immortals
Five immortals, also known as "Five Lords" or "Five Immortals", are enshrined by the Han people. "They are: Fox Fairy (fox), Huang Xian (weasel), White Fairy (owl), Liu Fairy (snake) and Black Fairy (crow). Among them, Liu Xian is called the South, while the North is called Chang Xian.
The Han people's worship of animals is mainly reflected in the worship of "five masters", which is a kind of worship of demon fairy and also comes from animism. The Five Immortals are also called "Five Immortals", including fox (fox), Huang Xian (weasel), white fairy (owl), willow fairy (snake) and black fairy (crow), commonly known as "yellow fox, white fox and black fox" (or "black yellow fox and Bai Liu"). Han people generally believe that the five great masters have a long-term relationship with human beings, and they belong to supernatural gods. If it is violated and destroyed, we can retaliate against mankind with witchcraft and punish mankind with different degrees of disasters. If people worship them, they will be blessed. So many Han families are worshipped by five people. There are two ways to worship: one is to worship the whole statue next to the Buddhist temple and ancestral hall at home. The whole statue includes nine gods, namely, Fu, Lu, Shou Sanxing and five famous people, arranged in three rows in turn. The images of the five people are all portraits and kind-hearted. Except for Bai Xian, who was labeled as an old lady, the other four were male figures, wearing official uniforms and warm hats, all of which were gray-blue or stone-blue. Bai Xian is very beautiful in a skirt and a gown with a crest. Another way of offering sacrifices is to build a "Xianjialou" in the corner of the courtyard to worship five memorial tablets. Xianjialou is a wooden temple model more than 3 feet wide and 2 feet high. The workmanship is similar to that of a real temple, with ridges and overflow corridors. There are four doors ahead. The memorial tablets of five masters are provided, and the offerings are also placed in Xianjialou. People make a wooden pallet downstairs, which is about half a foot high. A round hole is dug at the joint between the upper part of the tray and Xianjialou, and a round hole is also dug at the side of the tray, which is convenient for five people to enjoy the offerings and enter and leave.
In the worship of the five great figures, the Han people are even more awed by Fox Fairy, Huang Xian and Bai Xian. There are many legends about their spiritual traces, and they are attached to the great grandfather Hu San, the uncle and the white old lady.
Fox fairy (one of the only five immortals included in the top ten ghosts and gods)
In ancient Han mythology, foxes can become human beings and eventually become immortal foxes through cultivation, expert guidance or absorption of the essence or popularity of the sun and the moon. Shanhai passes overseas east longitude. The fox, in the traditional culture of the Han nationality, has always been an image with both good and evil (officially speaking, the fox and the raccoon are two kinds of animals, but people are used to calling them foxes, but only foxes are immortals, and raccoons seem to be just vulgar. The book "One Ruler and One Ruler" says that "since the early Tang Dynasty, people have suffered from foxes". There was a saying at that time: "Without foxes, you can't become a village." It is said that foxes need to be transformed into humans. "Miscellanies of Youyang" records: "As the old saying goes, a wild fox is called a purple fox, and it will be strange to hit its tail at night. You must wear a skull to worship the Beidou, or you will become an adult if you don't fall." It is said that "the pearl in the fox's mouth, if available, should be loved by the whole world."
The fox demon turns into a beautiful woman to seduce a strong man or a girl. In the 453rd chapter of Taiping Guangji, Zhang described a woman who was charmed by a fox: "The woman is full of makeup and well dressed, and she seems to be talking and laughing with others in the boudoir. When he left, he cried. " . As for the kind fox, it appears in tang legends's biography of Ren. The fox fairy stone man keeps his virginity and keeps the house, so Shen Jiji lamented: "The love of foreign bodies is also humane! In case of violence, I am willing to die for others, although women are inferior today. " . In the 453rd chapter of Tai Ping Guang Ji, Ji Zhen's wife told her husband that she was a fox before she died, but Ji Zhen still loved her until she died. In Pu Songling's novel Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio, the story of a kind fox fairy falling in love with a mortal is often described.
In the north of China, there is a belief in fox spirits, praying them to protect their food year after year. There is also a saying among the Han people that the fox spirit descends to the earth, that is, a person with all five senses can predict bad luck and exorcise ghosts after being possessed by the fox spirit. "The Tale of the North Dream Cangzhu People" contains: "(Fox) or singing in the village, there are ominous things." "Xuan Shi Li Zhigu" records that Guli saw a white fox hitting a stone in the court, which was considered as a symbol of good luck at that time. Later, he really became an assistant minister of does.
Every 500 years, the fox's tail will split into two tails, so the nine-tailed fox can be considered as the highest state of keeping foxes.
The most famous nine-tailed fox in China myths and legends is da ji. Da ji was originally the daughter of Hou Suhu, a warlord of Shang Dynasty, and was possessed by a nine-tailed fox, which made Zhou Wang cruel and eventually led to the subjugation of Shang Dynasty.
According to Japanese legend, Zhou Youwang's favorite concubine is another incarnation of the nine-tailed fox after da ji's death.
Huang Xian:
Huang Xian the weasel is called "Uncle Huang" by the Han people. In the past, there was a statue of him in Tianhou Palace. It is worshipped for two reasons. First, because it is as beautiful and cunning as a fox, it makes people feel mysterious; Another important reason is that it can affect people's spiritual world, which is related to a mental disorder disease. This mental disorder is called "hysteria", which is commonly called "symptom" by Han people. It is believed that once the weasel is possessed, hysteria will appear, mostly women or depressed patients. As soon as this disease starts, you cry, talk, sing, and tell some mysterious or unfair things in your life. Some people can also sing some wonderful poems. Hysterical patients don't know their family members and relatives when they get sick, and their tone of voice is different from Hershey's. Others say that the patient has a rolling ball under his skin. If you prick it with a needle, you can kill the possessed weasel. Generally speaking, you can treat patients by acupuncture. Moreover, there is a strange phenomenon. It is said that as long as a doctor, a wizard or a person who has beaten a weasel coughs outside the door, the attack will stop immediately and become a normal person. Although this kind of hysteria will not leave sequelae, it is difficult to completely cure and it is easy to happen many times.
Bai Xian:
White fairy, owl. 1995 was rebuilt by pilgrims, and the legend is even more bizarre. Owl is a very strange animal. "Owl" is just a general term. There are many kinds, but they all give people a very strange feeling-the head of a cat, the body of a bird, and the disharmonious combination of birds and beasts. Perhaps because of its strange appearance, there are many strange things related to it. Since ancient times, the Han people think that owls are fierce-looking, squeal and active at night. In ancient times, they called them "birds with bad voices" and were regarded as "ominous birds". There is a folk saying that "night owls don't come into the house for nothing" and "they are afraid of night owls, but they are afraid of night owls laughing". In fact, not all owls lie during the day and come out at night. A?vagho?a said that the predation time depends on eating habits. For example, snowy owls live in the North Pole, where it is very cold at night, animals move during the day, and snowy owls prey during the day.
Owls often swallow their prey whole, digest it and spit out impurities that are difficult to absorb. A?vagho?a found in the owl's nest through field investigation that most of the food balls are the fur, bones and beaks of mice, and there are some mice in the nest that the little owl didn't have time to eat. The ancients in our country observed this phenomenon a long time ago, but they mistakenly thought that the food ball was the skeleton spit out by a small owl after swallowing its parents, so they thought it was an unfilial bird.
Han people have different views on the worship of fairies. Most people regard it as a mascot for making money and preventing diseases. The white old lady in the folklore of Han nationality is a god evolved from hedgehog, who treats people mainly and is proficient in witchcraft. Once upon a time, there was a statue of an old white lady in the Tianhou Palace. 1966 was destroyed during the Cultural Revolution. (Many materials are misunderstood as Bai Xian is a hedgehog. )
Liu Xian: (also known as Snake Fairy and Long Fairy)
People's worship of the snake fairy also began in ancient times. It is said that Fuxi and Nu Wa are both snake heads. Snakes are often regarded as the embodiment of dragons, so people who belong to snakes in the zodiac are said to belong to dragons. People think that snakes have aura, strange body, can hide and shed their skin, are secretive and sensitive, and are more powerful than foxes. They can also form human forms and have the magic power to take things from thousands of miles away. The Legend of the White Snake is adapted from the Song and Yuan versions of Leifeng Pagoda in the town of White Snake, which depicts White Snake and Qing Er as kind and lovely snake immortals. In Tianjin, the shadow of the snake fairy often appears in the performances of the Han folk old society and the holy meeting. Especially in stilt performance, there must be two snake fairies. White snake makeup, green snake makeup. They are all wearing swords, handsome in appearance, soft in the middle and rigid in the middle, charming and remarkable.
Black fairy:
The black fairy is a crow. The worship of crow is because it lives in darkness day and night, making it unpredictable, so it is considered to be highly intelligent and deified. Some people also regard it as a warehouse god, offering sacrifices during the Han people's warehouse filling festival. Others believe that crows can predict the future, predict divination and make people rich, so they are regarded as the god of wealth, hoping that they can bring treasure to their owners' families in the dark. Folk taboos of the old Han nationality. One of the animal signs popular in China. Every crow crows on the roof in the morning, or crows in front of people, or crows fly over people's heads, which is considered as a sign of bad luck and disaster. Especially when I heard crows crowing on the first day of the first month of the Spring Festival summer calendar, I thought nothing was auspicious this year. (Many materials mistakenly read the black fairy as a gray fairy and a mouse. )
