Where did the teacher of Yin and Yang originate? What is the occupation of Yin and Yang teachers in history?

Today, I'm going to bring you what a teacher of Yin and Yang is. Interested readers can follow me to have a look.

The game of Yin Yang Shi is very popular, but many friends may not know what Yin Yang Shi really means. Actually, the profession of Yin and Yang Master originated in China, and gradually became popular in Japan after it was introduced to Japan. The full name of a Yin-Yang teacher is a performer who pursues Yin-Yang Tao. It is said that the Yin and Yang teachers at that time all mastered the skills of viewing Shinjuku, looking at faces and sideways. The most important thing is to pass through the yin and yang channels. But in the face of modern science, the teacher of Yin and Yang seems to be less credible, but in ancient times, many people with hard lives would choose to get comfort from the teacher of Yin and Yang, which is also a spiritual strength.

Modern Japanese pop culture is developed, and Japanese people are used to mixing some cultural materials of their own nation into popular cultural works. In addition, Japan is an island country, relatively closed in ancient times, and its cultural characteristics are inherently mysterious, so many people will misunderstand some things about ancient Japan.

For example, in recent years, a special occupation in ancient Japan has become the material in many games and cartoons. This is the "teacher of yin and yang", spreading it with nervousness. In fact, the profession of "Yin and Yang Master" did exist in ancient Japan. Of course, it can't be as magical as some popular cultural works now, and it can be psychic and demonic. What exactly did the Yin and Yang teachers in ancient Japan do?

In fact, the division of Yin and Yang was one of the official positions in the Yin and Yang Division of China Department under the legal management of ancient Japan (from the late 7th century (late Asuka period) to10th century). The so-called "Chinese Department" is one of the eight Japanese provinces established according to the legal system (in fact, it is almost the same as China's Zhongshu Province), which is responsible for assisting the emperor, issuing imperial edicts, concubines and so on.

What about Yinyangliao? In charge of divination, astronomy, observation and judgment of calendars and related education, it can be said that it was the research center of science and astronomy at that time. The earliest account of Yin-Yang and Liao in Records of Japan was abolished in the 4th year of Emperor Tianwu (675) and the 3rd year of Meiji (1870). Of course, this record is not necessarily reliable.

The Yin-Yang Liao in the Heian period was located in the Jing 'an area, north of Guan, west of Chungwu Province and south of Nelly, that is, the area of Qianben Marutamachi in the Shangjing District of Kyoto Prefecture today.

Modern science is science and superstition is superstition, but ancient science and technology are not high, so science and technology and astronomy are often associated with divination and calendars. In ancient Japan, due to the relatively backward cultural level, some superstitious divination rituals left over from the primitive period were preserved more, and the so-called "Yin and Yang Master" was responsible for this line.

Yin-yang therapy is divided into four professional projects: Yin-yang Dao, Astronomy Dao, Calendar Dao and Missing Dao. The so-called Yin-Yang Road is the department where Yin-Yang teachers stay. There are six Yin-Yang teachers (responsible for divination or land and judging whether it is good or bad, ranking seventh in the official rank), 1 doctor (responsible for technical education of Yin-Yang Road, ranking seventh in the official rank) and 1 Yin-Yang teacher.

Nara's picture book "Tamamo no Mae" in the early Edo period describes a picture of Yin and Yang teachers using calculation and divination.

Yin and Yang teachers are actually the people in charge of divination. Based on China's Yin-Yang and Five Elements, he is a technical officer who uses Yin-Yang Road for divination and honesty. Some people think that this thing is not a feudal superstition. We can understand that the scientific literacy of the ancients is not high, but it is definitely unreliable to explain things with this. Ancient emperors in China believed in Buddhism and Taoism, but the specific government affairs should be handled by officials specializing in state affairs. This soothsayer, a master of yin and yang, does not tell the emperor's fortune at best.

It is wrong to say so. In fact, the teacher of Yin and Yang is still very important. The books of Yin and Yang Taoism were forbidden to be owned by the people in Japan at that time, which became the monopoly of knowledge and the imperial knowledge of the emperor.

What drives you crazy is for divination? Of course, divination is not reliable. What is reliable is the right to interpret things!

What does this mean? Ok, I'll give you a rough example. You should understand after listening.

Suppose there is an earthquake somewhere in Japan. Of course, we know that it is a modern crustal movement, but the ancients may not know it, especially in Japan, where science is underdeveloped. People will think, is this the symbol of XX?

Suppose there are careerists among the people, and if there are Luo Shu and He Tu, he will just say a few words: This is all the imperial court can't do, and meat eaters look down upon it. Everyone will rebel with me. Anyway, most people can't understand these books. Anyone who says anything is what they are, and ordinary people are likely to follow them.

Note: Abe Harumi, the most famous teacher of Yin and Yang in Heian period in Japan, left a lot of legends, and his life stories were mostly mystified. He is also a popular reference figure in Japanese animation games for many years. It is enough for everyone to understand people like China Yuan Tiangang.

But? If the monopoly power is in the hands of the court, it will be different. The imperial court can officially explain that the reason for this earthquake is that people don't respect the imperial court enough, so in order to avoid disaster, everyone should better obey the imperial court.

This thing is said by everyone, and Yin and Yang teachers have the ability to interpret everything.

At the same time, in ancient times with underdeveloped culture, the sacrificial system was a very important part of the spiritual life of ancient people. This aspect was naturally handled by the Yin and Yang division. For example, "Yan Xi Style" and "Yin Yang Liao Style" are officially recorded in historical documents, and these things later became part of Japanese Shinto.

Moreover, there is another reason why Yin and Yang teachers are very good: ancient scientific and technological talents are so backward, and those who know a little are particularly good. During the Warring States Period in Japan, there was a legend that some Yin and Yang teachers could predict good and bad luck, and even said that Yin and Yang teachers had two mysteries. When sending troops, the division of Yin and Yang can reverse day and night, turning evil into good fortune. It is said that this is a spell. What might the actual situation be like? I admire this very much: these Yin and Yang teachers have astronomical knowledge and can generally judge some weather, so they know when it is suitable to send troops.

After Meiji Restoration, Japan became a modern country with a relatively formal scientific and cultural system. Natural Yin-Yang Taoism was labeled as "Yin Temple Cult" and abolished by Meiji * * *, but Shinto remained as a national belief. Moreover, after the Middle Ages, Japanese folks also called those responsible for prayer and divination "Yin and Yang teachers". In fact, these people are just fortune tellers in the Jianghu.
