What does flying mean?

Tian Fei is a Chinese word with three meanings.

1. Fly to the sky.

Example:

Don Li Yong's "Japanese Fu": "When I first went to sea, I was prosperous for a while and suddenly flew into the sky."

Tang Wei Zhizhong's "Baiyun Unintentional Fu": "I think it was left by the Han Dynasty and filled the air."

2. Short for "Flying Dragon in the Sky". It is a metaphor that the king wins the world and has the image of Longxing.

The language "Ganyi": "The Ninth Five-Year Plan, the flying dragon is in the sky." The book of Confucius and Ying Da: "If a saint has a dragon virtue, he will soar and live in heaven." Tang Huang Tao's "Long Xing Fu on Monday": "Fly away and break the new country of Yin."

3. Gods flying in the air in Buddhist murals or stone carvings.

Sanskrit calls God a "god". Because "Tipo" has the meaning of heaven, it translates as flying. Xu Chi's Goldbach Conjecture under Qilian Mountain: "There are lotus flowers at the top of the cave. Fly at the four corners. "

Tian Fei, called Gandhara in Buddhist language, is also called Gandhara, Gandhara and Kinnara. He is the god of nature in Buddhism, and is also called the god of fragrance, music and joy.

The word "Fei" comes from the second volume of Luoyang Zhi Galand: "Nanshiqiao Road, there is a Jingxing Temple, and eunuchs are also set up. There is a golden statue, three feet above the ground, covered with treasures, and hung with golden bells and seven treasures all around, flying in the sky and looking at Yun Biao. " . Tian Fei was first born in ancient India, then introduced to China, and merged with China art. In the early Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, flying in murals was also called flying fairy. Almost all the 492 caves in Mogao Grottoes are painted with flying sky.

Flying in the sky is a mixture of Ganlu prisoners of war and Kinnara. "Great Wisdom" said: "Ganlv Po is a geisha of the heavens, and she drives it away and takes pleasure in it." Flying men and women, regardless of their functions, eat incense and stay away from wine and meat. Where the Buddha appears, there must be flying. According to the Avina Veda, there are 6333 people flying in the sky. Whenever there is a Buddhist meeting in the sky, they fly in the air, throwing flowers, singing and dancing, and supporting the buddhas with songs, dances, music, flowers and food.

Taoism also flies. Dong Sijing pointed out in "Chapter Interpretation of Lingbao's Nine-Day Birth": "Flying saints are the kings of infinite gods, such as the ten flying gods contained by Du Fu. It is called flying, and its trace is not stagnant. "
