Fuzhou Taoist fortune telling

Mount Tai Temple in Feng Long, located in Feng Long New Village, Pingshan East Mountain, should be a famous Taoist temple in Fuzhou and a very important temple in the belief of Mount Tai in Fuzhou.

Look carefully, there are some wonders in Taishan Temple in Feng Long. Let's look at the fifth point of this article.

The main hall of Mount Taishan Temple in Feng Long is dedicated to Emperor Rensheng of Mount Taishan in Dongyue and the two capitals of Luias under his command. The two sides also have twelve generals (that is, the zodiac), Marshal Jiang, General Li, General Xie and Golden Black Dog.

In addition, there is a waterfront palace on the side of the main hall, which is dedicated to Mrs. Chen Jinggu, a waterfront lady, and 30 ladies-in-waiting and ministries sent by her.

There is a row of statues in the two corridors outside the main hall, which is the fourteenth division of Taishan Mansion. There are three statues and clay sculptures in each division.

There are seven divisions on the right: Master Zhu Fu (blessing in sight), Master Zhu Lu (enjoying a thousand points), Master Ji, Master Wu (two ears a year), Master Plague, Master Ji Bao and Master Xue Hu, as well as General Bai, General Fan and General Cao.

Seven subjects on the left: Sushi, Fule, Fame, Good and Evil, Exorcism, Prison, Yin and Yang.

These fourteen divisions cover almost everything in the world and people's inner expectations and needs.

Fu, Lu, Shou and Fu are the four gods in heaven, who are in charge of Fu and Xiang, fame and fortune, Shou and Xiang respectively. Generally speaking, blessing means health, longevity, happiness and good luck to people, and it is the four happy events in life.

Lucky star (the God of Luck) is an old star, which can bring good luck and luck and is the main source of happiness and blessings. Everything that is rich and long-lived, healthy and peaceful, happy and well-prepared is called a blessing. Therefore, people will pray for good luck, good luck, long life, five blessings, blessed soul, blessed family, and a safe, healthy and long life for their families.

Lu Xing (Shen Lu) is in charge of auspiciousness and good luck, also known as "Wenquxing". He is the god of official positions, and the person in charge of fame and fortune is in charge of the people's salary, that is, income. People's main prayers are: career prosperity, promotion and wealth, happy life, first place, promotion step by step, successful career, bright future, smooth work and success.

The birthday star, also known as the "Old Star", is the star god in charge of human life. People's main prayers are: health and longevity, longevity, longevity over the South Mountain, longevity and happiness, longevity and health, longevity and longevity, endless Shou Yuan.

XiShen is an auspicious god that people pray for, also known as "auspicious god", which can meet people's festive needs. More popular with secular marriage. People's main prayers are: getting married, starting a business, moving to a new house, many happy events, endless joy, happiness, luck and perfection.

Happiness, wealth, longevity, happiness plus wealth and auspiciousness are the six maxims of China people, which express and entrust people's concern for life, yearning for a happy life, pursuit of beautiful things and their own social values, and represent a people's view of happiness. Especially during the Spring Festival, these six words are used the most and everyone loves them.

Ji, fame, good and evil should be the moral character of a master, advocating good deeds and positive energy. There is a saying in the ancients: "Looking up three feet has a god". Whatever you do, you must remember to be "cautious and independent".

But what does Ji really mean? I'm just a beginner and I don't know yet. I hope a tutor can teach me a thing or two.

Presumably, dustpan is "dustpan broom", which refers to housework. "The Book of Rites Quli" says: "When you treat the excrement of the old man, you must add a dustpan." Discipline also refers to inspection and care. Does Ji Ji mean to test whether to respect the elderly, that is, to test the virtue of filial piety?

In addition, dustpan also refers to one of the 28 stars, which is a whirlwind produced by the swinging of the dragon's tail. Therefore, it is good wind to stay in the skip. Once it is particularly bright, it is a sign of the wind, so it represents the main symbol and the image of the tongue. If so, it is to test whether your words and deeds are positive energy, so as to determine whether you are kind.

Grains division (giving birth to two ears every year), millet conservation division, plague division and blood lake division are related to life and health.

The God of Grains should refer to Shennong, Yan Di. "Guan Zi Liang pian" contains: "Yandi Shennong planted grains in the grandson of Qishan." "Han Li Wen Jia" said: "Yan Di Shennong began to teach people to farm. Its virtue is as strong as a god, so it is called Yan Di Shennong. "

Legend has it that Yandi Shennong was the ancestor of agriculture, industry, commerce, medicine, literature and other fields: making crops and growing grains; Treat Sang Ma, wear clothes; Make five strings, know rites and music; Cut off the wooden bow and conquer the world; Making pottery is good for life; Taste a hundred herbs and preach medicine.

His invention made mankind take a major step from nomadism to settlement, from fishing and hunting to farming, from ignorance to civilization, and promoted great changes in human society.

Most of the clay sculptures of the "Five Grains God" worshipped in rural areas of Fujian are holding a pile of rice with straw mats on their shoulders, with distinctive symbols of farming culture. However, the God of Grains in Taishan Temple in Feng Long did not. He wore official clothes and held Ruyi.

Baoji is the valley god and the country is the earth god. The full name "State" also represents the meaning of the country. Ancient monarchs set up a country to worship the heaven, seeking peace and security for the country.

Therefore, there is a saying that "the mountains and rivers are the country", which means that the king rules the mountains and rivers in Wan Li, and the common people grow crops on the land of the mountains and rivers in Wan Li. "The blessing of the country" is the blessing of the people. The people have food and clothing, and the king is stable.

The grain department and the millet department should be the stable sources of grain for the main population. Because this is the foundation of the country, and it is also the foundation for the people to settle down. Peace and prosperity.

Plague management concerns people's health. In ancient Fuzhou, due to the bad ecological environment and sanitary conditions, various plagues often occurred. People are afraid of helplessness, so they fantasize that there is a god in charge of all this, and no god has anything to do with the whole story of the plague. Therefore, there were many temples dedicated to the god of plague in ancient Fuzhou. Taishan Temple is no exception.

The theory of "blood lake" is Taoism, but it also incorporates some Confucianism.

Taoism believes that bloody bodies and filthy bodies, both men and women, will fall into the "blood lake hell" after death, that is, "blood pollution" should be the main reason for falling into the blood lake hell.

Specifically, "all the dead who produce blood pollution" includes those who died in dystocia, those who polluted water by blood, those who aborted or killed children, those who died in prison, those who died because of soldiers on the battlefield, those who died because of injuries, those who died because of malignant diseases of purulent blood and so on. All "blood hurts the soul, both men and women" enter the "blood lake" after death.

Women who die in childbirth are usually covered in blood, and their "soul of dystocia death" is among the "souls of blood injury", so women will fall into the lake of blood. This is a bit unreasonable and even discriminates against women. Women's physiological phenomena and childbirth are natural and arduous processes. In ancient times, they regarded it as filthy and even ominous, which really reflected the low status of ancient women.

The exorcism department, the prison department and the Yin and Yang department expect people to stay away from bad luck, even if they encounter misfortune, they can save the day and even run Gankun.

This is the case with folk belief, which embodies people's value judgments on likes and dislikes, right and wrong, health and safety, and also contains thoughts and expectations on life and the world, and has the pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty.

Although there are many unscientific factors in folk beliefs in historical changes, which must be abandoned, some positive and good things are worthy of recognition. The social thoughts and folk customs they reflect should also be studied and standardized under the background of mainstream thoughts in contemporary society.

Due to the lack of talent, the above is only the result of personal visits, and there must be some shortcomings. I sincerely ask my teachers and friends for advice. Thank you! (End)
