Taoist interpretation of fortune telling _ Is Taoist interpretation of fortune telling accurate?

In Taoist temples, there are often sign tubes with built-in labels, which are often made of bamboo and wood pieces. Believers can choose one of them at random, judge whether it is good or bad according to the words contained above, and experience the sacred will. However, for the convenience of operation, the labels in Taoist temples have been divided into two parts. Only numbers are stored in bamboo chips in pipes. After drawing, get another paper label with its number and the signature of a poem. Generally, the form of drawing lots is that the parties hold a lot, pray before God, and then shake the lot until someone jumps out of it. This is a lot given by God. Asking for a visa is an activity that people often go to Taoist temples to ask for good or bad luck.

Begging visas came into being in Taoist temples in the late Tang Dynasty at the latest, and then spread to almost all temples, palaces and monasteries. When did the signing activity begin? The exact date is not easy to determine. But it should appear at the end of the Tang dynasty at the latest. During the Five Dynasties, there was a prime minister named Lu Duoxun. When I was a child, my father took him to Yunyangguan to study with the children. There is an old sign on the abandoned altar in the field of vision, and children compete to play with it. At that time, Lu Shang couldn't read, so he got a sign to show his father. The sign says, "When you leave the China Library, you must be white because of the water." Fifty-two years in the fairy, eventually become Peng Haike. My father was very happy and thought it was a good sign, so he would sign it. Later, Lu really became prime minister; He failed because he sent his subordinate Zhao Bai to contact Mei Ting, the king of Qin. After the incident, he was exiled to the south and died in Zhu Ya at the age of 52. If you sign it, it's verbatim. [1] The Five Dynasties are very short. Lu Duoxun was born in the late Tang Dynasty. When he was young, there was an ancient sign tube on the altar, which showed that the sign had appeared.

Signs made in Taoist temples were later widely used, and Buddhist temples and folk temples were also posted for people to draw.

Catalog constellations and godhead constellations are mostly named after the godhead on which they depend: the constellations are based on the revelation of godhead, and the words on the so-and-so constellation are regarded as the teaching, revelation and prophecy of godhead, so all constellations are named as the so-and-so constellation in the name of godhead. People in China worship many gods, so there are many kinds of constellations. Theoretically, because many gods have special temples or halls, there are just as many signs. Of course not that much. However, at one time and one place, it is not difficult for us to find all kinds of spiritual symbols in the surrounding temples. More than 70 years ago, Mr. Rong Zhaozu went to various temples to collect 18 kinds of autographs, involving emperors, capital gods, land, kitchen gods, Hua Tuo, Kang Gong, gods, three saints, Dr. Ling, Emperor Dongyue, Tianhou, Caibo and Guanyin. [2] From the perspective of the Taoist temples, the Taoist temples with Taoist coefficients and the Taoist temples with folk beliefs account for the majority. What Mr. Rong saw was the symbols of modern times, the symbols of Ming dynasty and possibly earlier, which are still collected in the Taoist temple. Among them, the four sages, the true king, probably died in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, because the worship of the four sages, Tian Peng, God Blessed, Heisha and General Yousheng, was very popular in the Song Dynasty, but it was not so fashionable in the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, since the Yuan Dynasty, General Yousheng's position has been getting higher and higher, and Lingqian in the name of the four sages was upgraded to a mysterious god in the Ming Dynasty, so it is most likely to appear in the Song Dynasty. In Taoist books about Xuan Di, there is also a spiritual symbol of Xuan Di. "Hong En Town Money" definitely came from the Ming Dynasty, so the two town troops started their journey in Yongle. The rest, such as the symbol of the Virgin of Weifang, are not well studied. Now many temples have brands, and their brands are called temples, temples.

The effect of the sign is directly proportional to the degree of trust in the sign and the degree of piety to the gods: in the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Zhenwu had a strong belief, and people had a deep trust in his spiritual sign. Xuan Di Lingqian, Volume 7 of Gu Jieyuan's Ke Rong Ci in Ming Dynasty;

"There is Xuan Di Temple on the North Gate Bridge. According to legend, the icon was enshrined in the north gate of Nantang, and then moved to this temple. There are signs in the temple, which are effective and invincible. People sincerely pray for it, often hiding the secrets of people's confidants and responding to misfortune and happiness, such as those who speak face to face. It is not surprising that the rest of my life is ordinary and pious. /kloc-a 0/4-year-old woman, Yi You, fell ill by accident, and prayed for her, saying, "If the Yins in Xiaokou are sick, they will return to the barren hills. "It's already fruitful (don't do it) (Mo, the meaning is the same). When the boxer was ill, he prayed in March and reported that he should not wait for medicine. "In April, I prayed that my illness would get worse and my bones would be as thin as firewood, and I have already done it. Pray for him in May, and report that "there is good news gradually now", indicating that his condition will be slightly reduced every month. Pray for it in June, and it will be reported that "the dead wood meets the spring." This month, the muscle fruit is revived, and it is good. I think the emperor should tell on me as a warning. Up to now, I dare not forget that ghost. Its friends prayed, especially many strange answers. 」

Whether this effect should be interpreted as guaranteed, I just want to point out that because of God's prestige, trust in miracles has increased, and the effect of miracles has strengthened faith in God. This cycle makes the pre-spiritual belief deeply rooted in society and spread endlessly.

From Qing Dynasty to modern times, Guanyin, Lv Dongbin and Guandi had the greatest influence on folk beliefs, and their spiritual symbols were more pious. There are many applicants for this kind of contract, and it has been processed and revised many times for hundreds of years, and its form is also the most comprehensive. Take the front of Guandi Mausoleum as an example. Sign a poem 100, plus a song "Sign the King". This 100 poem has a story from history, myths and legends, and even novels and operas as its title, and it is marked with "Shengyi", "Shi Dongpo" and "Bi Xian Zhu" at the end of the poem, followed by "Shi Yue" and "Shi", all of which indicate the signature of the poem, but obviously it was not written by one person. There is also a "Zhan Yan" to record the deeds accomplished by predecessors when they got this sign.

In a word, this signer is inexhaustible from generation to generation, which makes it more and more perfect and obtains a better appearance than other signers. The poem tag is actually made up by people. In the past, there was a temple for the elderly near the West Lake in Hangzhou for a month, and the gods worshipped were said to be specialized in human marriage. Of course, most people who come here for visas are unmarried. A kind-hearted man wrote a poem for the old man under the moon, which was synthesized from words in poems and songs of past dynasties and words in ancient books such as Four Books. The first article of the Book of Songs, the famous sentence "Guan Guan Ji dove, in Hezhou. My Fair Lady is the first sign, and "All shall be well, jack shall have Jill" in The West Chamber is the last 55th sign. It is also interesting to express wishes for people's marriage.

Signing a contract is one of the forms of Taoist folk worship, which often becomes the custom of one party. For example, the Wong Tai Sin Temple in Hong Kong is typical. As one of the Taoist temples in Hong Kong, Huang Zaixian Temple is also a very distinctive tourist attraction. Its custom is characterized by a large number of applicants and even gathering fortune tellers who make a living from it. The spiritual tablets of other temples often attract a large number of believers. There is a folk saying that the sign is invalid, and the most important thing is that the sign should be effective. Autographies are mostly in the form of poems, mostly symbols with vague meanings. Please explain. In Taoist temples, Taoist priests often talk about signing. In fact, in the process of signing a contract, when analyzing the intention of signing a contract, Taoist priests often talk about the attitude towards life that should be adopted, which contains some elements of moral education.
