Does the monk know how to draw symbols?

There is a certain procedure for doodling, which must not be simple or reversed.

Generally speaking, all calligraphers should set up an altar to pay homage (especially to Taoist priests), which is called "total altar style". The general mantras in the altar are written about the gods that Taoist priests usually believe in-land, city god, Di Qing in the east, Chi Di in the south, Bai Di in the west, Hei Di in the north, General Suzaku, General Xuanwu, General Hei Hei Zi and so on. Such as the total curse in the total altar map set by the Taoist priest in Dunhuang in ancient times. Taoist priests will also build altars and two seals of the Emperor of Heaven (Figure 2-2). These two seals are engraved on the altar, both on the front and back.

In fact, there are many books with symbols to read or refer to.

There are many books about spells and symbols in the lower right corner of the picture. You can find some such books.

There are also those who do not have a "total altar style" or build an altar, such as "inviting immortals to dustpan". When the fairy dustpan is invited, three plates of fruit, three cups of tea and three cups of wine are used for the shrine of the main hall … or for temporary storage outside the house, which is equivalent to a table.

Before drawing symbols, you should clean your heart-concentrate and be sincere, eliminate distractions, concentrate, cleanse yourself, wash your face, wash your hands and gargle, prepare sacrifices such as fruit, rice wine and incense sticks, as well as pen and ink, cinnabar and yellow paper. For these items, the Taoist used a spell first, which made them have great power.

(1) Pen Curse: In the fifth year, Raytheon will burn the light of Warner, and for the rest of his life, he will bind ghosts and hide evil, and all life and death will be destroyed. I am as urgent as the law.

(2) Water curse: This water is extraordinary. It's a bit like the water in the north. It takes a while for a sick person to swallow all the diseases. To ward off evil spirits, rush.

(3) Inkstone Curse: The Jade Emperor has sacred inkstones everywhere. Jin Mu is full of fire, water, earth, thunder, rain, lightning, lightning and lightning.

(4) Ink Curse: The Jade Emperor has robbed the gods of ink, which is like a cloud. The dispute over the ink of the nine planets is as urgent as a law.

(5) Cinnabar Curse: The fierce demons in Stan Town exorcise ghosts, and learning books like Fu Ling is faster than three realms. Before drawing symbols, you should burn incense and bow down, make a wish to tell the god of heaven and earth and express your prayers. After greeting, take out paper, ink or cinnabar, sit still, think about luck, and draw the symbols you want to draw in one breath without any pause. When drawing symbols, you should blow air into them, and at the same time, you should gently recite the mantra with your mouth while drawing. In addition, the left hand that doesn't hold the pen should make the gestures that must be used when writing, such as Sun Jun's tactic, Yue Jun's tactic and plough's tactic. Rijun's unique trick: the fingertips of the four fingers of the left hand are bent, and only the second finger extends horizontally, with the fingertips facing up. Yue Jun formula: Except that the fourth finger extends horizontally and the fingertip is upward, the other four fingers are slightly bent inward. Highest day formula: the second finger extends horizontally, the fingertips are upward, and the fingertips of the other four fingers are slightly bent inward. It is said that the formula of "Kouyuejun" is used to take the Yin and Yang Qi of the sun and the moon, and breathe air into the charm, which is cheered by the gods to exorcise evil spirits and reduce ghosts, so as to increase the efficacy of the charm. The application of Tian Gang tactic also lies in using this fingering to command ghosts and gods, and using Tian Gang to point to spirits when drawing symbols.

After drawing the symbol, put the pen tip up and the pen tip down, concentrate all your energy on the pen tip, hit the symbol paper with the pen tip three times, and then press the symbol with the diamond sword, showing a sense of majesty that the divine power has been attached to the symbol. Finally, lift the painted symbol paper around the furnace for three times, and so on, and the symbol painting ceremony is completed.
