A complete collection of rendered positions in heaven, God bless the people, God.

Tang Wenjin Jushi, born in a family of traditional ancient books culture, is a famous master of planning who is proficient in modern business ethics. Since 1980s, he began to accurately predict and grasp the changes in the market. Many self-made investors and real estate developers have made great achievements under his guidance, and now there are countless billionaires.

Last time, the laity in Tang Wenjin explained to us the mystery of God's blessing in heaven. Next, the laity in Tang Wenjin will continue to use the geomantic secrets handed down from the family to uncover the mystery of the land god at the door.

Land gods are also called "Ford Shen Zheng", "Land Lord", "Land Lord" and "Land Lord". According to the ancient book "Kanyu Book" circulated among the people in Tang Wenjin, the land god belongs to the local protector in folk beliefs and is one of the most worshipped gods among the people. Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, there was a phenomenon of offering sacrifices to land gods in places where Han people lived. In the traditional culture of China, offering sacrifices to the god of the earth means offering sacrifices to the earth, and emperors of Ming and Qing dynasties also hold ceremonies to offer sacrifices to the earth regularly in Beijing Ditan every year. In modern times, people set up land shrines at the gate to pray for peace and ensure a bumper harvest.

Nature worship of land and personification of land god

China has worshipped the land since ancient times, and gradually changed from a natural worship of the land to a humanized image of the land, that is, the land god. There is a cloud in Zuo Zhuan, an ancient book handed down by Tang Wenjin lay people: "Where there is a society, there must be a land god, and the land god is the master of guarding the society, which is called superior." Shuo Wen Jie Zi also explains the word "she" in this way: "She is also a landlord", as the name implies, that is, she is the owner of the land. Social sacrifice is a sacrifice to the earth. In addition, the land god is also called "Houtu", such as Book of Rites: "Houtu is also a social god" and "* * * The public governs Kyushu, and his son's Houtu can level Kyushu, so he worships it as a society." ; "Historical Records": "Soup to attack the summer, sacrifice to the ground". It can be seen that the so-called land god is the social god, and people's worship of the land god stems from their awe and gratitude for the earth that breeds everything.

The legend of the land god

Many of the traditional gods in China have fixed identities, such as the Eight Immortals and Guan Gong. The identities of some gods are gradually diluted and abstracted into the general names of many gods with the same functions, such as the "heavenly officials" mentioned last time. The land god is similar to the celestial official, and it is the general name of a group of gods with the same clergy. However, unlike Tianguan, the land god is not fixed, but has regional and personalized differences, and different land gods have different legends. The ancient books of Wenjintang handed down by laity also recorded the following legends of land gods.

Jiang was the earliest land god in Han Dynasty. According to the fifth volume of Sue Ji Shen, "Jiang people are also straight people. ..... At the end of the Han Dynasty, he was the commander-in-chief of the mausoleum. He chased the thief to the foot of Zhongshan Mountain, and the thief wounded him. Because of the slow restraint, he died in an instant. At the beginning of Wu Xian's reign, his old ministers saw Wen, rode white horses, held white clothes, and served as servants. I was surprised to see this man leave. Wen Zhui said,' For this reason, I am a land lord, and I am a blessing to the people. I can declare the people and build a shrine for me. No, there will be a lot of blame. "... so the emissary named Hou ... In order to build a temple, Zhongshan was named Shan Jiang. "Since then, local heroes have gradually appointed local land gods after their deaths, and there are land gods everywhere.

According to another legend, Zhang Fude, an official of the Zhou Dynasty, was born in Zhou Wuwang on February 2, 2002. He was smart and filial since childhood. At the age of 36, he was appointed as the chief tax collector of the court. He was honest, diligent and loved the people. He died in Zhou Muwang for three years at the age of 102. There was a poor family who felt its kindness and worshipped in a stone house surrounded by four big stones. Soon, they became rich from poverty. Therefore, the local people all believe that this man will become a land god after his death, so they jointly built a temple and worshipped him with gold, honoring him as "the God of Fuld".

As a result, gradually formed a view among the people, that is, after the death of a virtuous person, the Jade Emperor can make him a land god. This view can also be reflected in some traditional China literature. For example, Pu Songling's Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio has a fictional story: a ghost of Wang Liulang who drowned in the river has a kind heart and can't bear to return his body to the sun with a woman holding a baby, and he was appointed as the land god of Zhaoyuan Zhen Wu in Shandong Province by the Emperor of Heaven.

The rank of the land god

In addition to the difference between regionalization and personification, the land god is also hierarchical. The ancient book "Kanyu Book" handed down by Tang Wenjin laity records: "The country, the Lord of the land, has a vast land, and it is impossible to worship the world all over, so it is also a reward to seal the land of the country." This is the reason why the land gods are graded.

This concept of hierarchy is also reflected in the Book of Rites Sacrifice: "Wang surnamed Li She, governors set up clubs for the people, governors set up clubs for themselves, Hou She, and doctors set up clubs in groups." It can be seen that at that time, the sacrifice to the land god had been graded. When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty regarded the "Houtu Huangdi" as the highest land god, local land gods were still being worshipped everywhere.
