What does "Tai Sui" mean?

Tai sui-the name of an imaginary planet that runs in the opposite direction to Jupiter. Ancient China people used the revolutionary period as a reference figure.

brief introduction

Tai sui is the honorific title of Taoist gods, also called Tai sui Xing Jun, or Sui Jun. Tai sui is Jupiter in the sky. Because Jupiter runs every twelve months, the ancients called Jupiter an old star or Tai sui. Tai sui, also known as Tai sui Xing Jun, is both a star and a folk god.

The traditional chronology method in China is called Ganzhi Chronology, which consists of ten branches (A, B, C, D, E, Ji, G, Xin, Ren and Gui) and twelve branches (Zi, Ugly, Yin, Mao, Chen, Ji, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Qi and Hai). It started in Jiazi and ended in Guihai. A reincarnation takes 60 years, which is called 60 Jiazi.

However, many people don't know that in these 60 years, a fairy will fall from the sky every year to serve the year. He is responsible for the good and bad of this year, and also for the fortune of people born in this year. The people respectfully call these gods "Tai Sui", and there are 60 Tai Sui in 60 years, so they are collectively called "Sixty Jiazi Gods".

Sixty Jia Zi Tai Sui Xing Jun

There were 60 Tai Sui gods in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. By the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the names of these 60 Tai Sui gods had been changed. Now there are 60 Tai Sui in temples in Anfeng all over the country.

Where to break the ground in tai sui

The ancients called Jupiter "Tai Sui" and thought that Jupiter runs once every twelve years (actually, 1 1.86), and divided Sundays into twelve times. Jupiter passes by once a year, and it has a specific name. When Taisui Yue belongs to a certain party in a certain year, the party can't break ground, otherwise it will bring disaster. This is actually a ghost cheated by a charlatan. Later, people denounced others' violation of themselves as "putting their heads on the ground", which shows their high prestige.

This statement existed as early as the Song Dynasty. At the end of Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of Ming Dynasty, it was mentioned in the second chapter of Shi Naian's Water Margin that Zhu Wu, Chen Da and Yang Chun were prepared to fight against the government troops in order to rob money and grain for the use of the thatched cottage. Zhu and Yang want to fight Pucheng, but they don't listen to Zhu and Yang's advice, and they insist on borrowing the road from Shijiacun where Shi Jin lives to fight Huayin. When passing through Shijia Village, Shi Jin stopped all Zhuang people and shouted to Chen Da, "You should have ears, too. How dare you. You must go straight to the lion's lair. " Of course, there are still many people who dare to say so. The book about Chen Da is no match for Shi Jin, and it was captured by Shi Jin.

Commit tai sui, rush tai sui and punish tai sui.

If the average person's age is the same as the annual value, it is called the age of the offender, and the hedge of age is called the age of the rush; Poetry Covenant: I am too old to sit on my head without happiness or fear of disaster. Therefore, no matter what kind, in that year, everything will be very difficult, the career will be more difficult, and the body will be more sick. Therefore, it is necessary to offer sacrifices to Tai Sui Xing Jun to ensure peace.

Each of the sixty jiazi has a one-year-old god rotation, and the one-year-old god who rotated in that year is called the old age. If you want to know that you are too old, you can find your name in 60 jiazi.

What do you mean, crime is actually a rush, and "rush" is also divided into "year rush" and "hedging".

"Nianchong" refers to a year in the zodiac. For example, this year is year of the snake, and the snake is the year;

"Hedging" refers to the year of the zodiac plus six years, and "hedging" is also called "six reds", that is, Woods Chong, Ugly Buchong, Shen Yinchong, You Mao Chong, Chen Xuchong and Hai Si Chong; Take the new temple year of the snake as an example. Mind is in conflict with the sea. Therefore, Zhu Xiao's employment in Xinsi year of the snake is a "hedge". He is too old. Anyone who encounters the "year rush" or "hedge" of the zodiac will go to the temple to worship Tai Sui, so that everything will be smooth.

What do you mean, too old to punish, too old to punish, that is, the so-called "prejudice"? If a person's birth year is three years different from the zodiac to which the fleeting time belongs, it is a punishment, that is, it is "eccentric" with the fleeting time. As the old saying goes, when people get old, they can't enjoy it. For example, year of the snake Xiao snake is too old, Xiao pig is too old to rush, and Xiao monkey tiger is too old to rush.

Unknown creature-"Tai Sui"

"Tai sui" is an unknown creature on the earth, and its existence, function and influence have always been controversial in the field of biology.

It is not an animal or a plant, but a protoplasm in the process of life evolution. In other words, Tai Sui may be a myxomycete, a protoplast between biology and fungi, with the characteristics of both protozoa and fungi. Li Shizhen called it "Yueshi" in Compendium of Materia Medica, and called it "the top grade of this classic". Shan Hai Jing, an ancient book, called Tai Sui "seeing meat, gathering meat and starting over" and described it as "recovering after eating all".

history

In fact, thousands of years ago, there were records about Tai Sui in China's ancient book Shan Hai Jing. In Shan Hai Jing, Tai Sui is also called "seeing meat", "gathering meat" and "the meat". You see, everyone has the word meat, which means edible. According to Shan Hai Jing, "seeing meat" first appeared in front of ancient tombs, and it was an item that ancient emperors liked to eat before their death. It has the characteristics of "eat up and get it back" and "eat one piece after another", that is to say, it can grow again after eating one piece. As for the idea of longevity after eating, Li Shizhen, a medical scientist in Ming Dynasty, did record it in Compendium of Materia Medica. According to Compendium of Materia Medica, "Meat and cheese are like meat, and they are creatures. White people are like cutting fat, yellow people are like Zijin, and all open holes are as hard as ice. " In Compendium of Materia Medica, Li Shizhen called it the "Zhi" of the "Vegetable" Department of Rouzhi, which is also called "the top grade of this classic" with the Ganoderma lucidum we see now. Compendium of Materia Medica also lists several prescriptions that focus on "treatment", which shows that they have special curative effects on some difficult diseases. Their common feature is: "Long-term consumption can strengthen the body and prolong life. And because it has the characteristics of spontaneous growth, it is more precious. So emperors of all ages tried their best to find it. Among them, it is said that ancient emperors would look for Ganoderma lucidum. The most famous story is that Qin Shihuang sent Xu Fu to lead 3,000 boys and girls to find medicine.

According to Records of the Historian Qin Benji, after Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, the emperor, as the king of a country, heard that there was an elixir in the East, which could make you live forever, so he personally led a team to the East to find the elixir in the 28th year of Qin Dynasty. He came to Langya Town, Shandong Province, and visited the famous alchemist Xu Fu, who was ordered to look for the elixir of life and gave Xu Fu a lot of manpower and material resources. Xu Fu immediately led 500 boys and girls eastbound and came to Penglai, Shandong Province to look for fairy medicine. So Chuifu built a ship and led 3,000 boys and girls to Fusang. He went to Yingzhou, the ancient abbot, which is now the Japanese archipelago, and continued to look for the fairy medicine. It is said that the fairy medicine that Qin Shihuang asked Xu Fu to look for included Ganoderma lucidum.

Guo Pu, a famous scholar in Jin Dynasty, explained "seeing meat" when commenting on Shan Hai Jing: "Gathering meat, like beef liver, has two eyes. The food is endless, as good as ever. "

Yu Shinan, a famous scholar in the Tang Dynasty, also wrote about "local meat" in Bei Tang Shuchao, and his historical materials were copied in the Records of Foreign Objects in Linhai. The article said: "The soil is black, as big as a child, with five inches of arms, a belly in the middle, no mouth and three feet, as big as a hairpin, which makes it delicious."

Guang Yi Collection records that Chao is strong-willed, has legends or taboos about ghosts and gods, and never believes or fears them. He often deliberately dug up the soil at the position of attacking Tai Sui. One day, he dug up a lively white meat ball at the position of Tai Sui. He flogged this lively piece of meat hundreds of times and threw it on the side of the road, and then sent people to secretly observe the movements around him.

In the middle of the night, a large group of horses and chariots appeared in the street from nowhere and surrounded the meatballs. A man in the car asked Tai Sui, "Why are you willing to be humiliated like this, but don't take revenge?" "Tai sui replied," he is full of momentum and blood, I can't help him! 」

Research and discovery

From ancient times to the present, news about the discovery of "Tai Sui" has been constantly coming out. Especially since 1980s, it has been reported in Inner Mongolia, Jilin, Shandong and other places. Although the discovery of "Tai Sui" is no longer a major news, both the public and the scientific community have always been very interested in "Tai Sui". In the early 1990s, he and scientists from Beijing, Jilin, Shaanxi and other places began to study Tai Sui.

shape

There is no fixed value for the shape, color and size of Tai Sui, and it seems to grow with time.

Biological nature

According to the information published by Northwest University, it has a complete cell structure and a respiratory function, that is, it produces carbon dioxide. By directly measuring carbon dioxide, it is proved that it has a metabolic process and produces carbon dioxide, which proves that it is alive.

● Statement 1: Myxomycete Complex

Experts observed through a high-power microscope that the composition of "Tai Sui" is a large number of bacteria with different varieties. Individuals who combine "Tai Sui" have certain elasticity and sometimes secrete silky mucus. At that time, experts concluded that the so-called "Tai Sui" should be a "super-large rare slime mold complex". It has the characteristics of protoplasm and fungi, and is a living organism. Experts estimate that Myxomycetes feed on microorganisms such as bacteria, yeast and mold spores, and take cellulose and chitin as nutrients, containing about 50% protein, as well as nucleic acids, yeast and mold. However, due to the limitation of scientific instruments, no further molecular analysis was carried out on these bacteria.

● Statement 2: Myxobacteria

Microbiologist of Jilin University explained that "Tai Sui" is a slime mold between protozoa and fungi, which lives in soil and has strong vitality.

● Statement 3: Higher fungi

Professor Bai Yuhua from the School of Life Sciences of Nankai University sliced Tai Sui and observed it under a microscope. It was found that there were hyphae in it, which were initially identified as higher fungi.

● statement 4: it is not a slime mold complex.

Yan Xiaolan, a morphological expert at the Institute of Microbiology, China Academy of Sciences, discovered many years ago that the object contains a lot of water. Protein experiment, no protein reaction, no nucleic acid reaction. When you burn it on the fire, you can smell choking. He estimates that there are aldehyde groups, alcohol groups or hydroxyl groups. Because Myxomycetes must have protein and nucleic acid components, he judged that "strange meat" was not a complex of Myxomycetes.

● Other statements

Some experts also believe that "Tai Sui" is the oldest living specimen of paleontology discovered so far, and it is "the ancestor of human beings and all animals". However, both researcher Li Taihui and Professor Shi said that although the statement that "Tai Sui" is a myxomycete complex is basically acceptable, the concept of "Myxomycete Complex" is very vague, and it is not clear what kind of species "Tai Sui" is. Only through molecular system analysis can we uncover the secrets of "Tai Sui" one by one.

Because it is still a mystery, it has been popular for many years.

In fact, the scientific research on "Tai Sui" has been one after another for a long time, but why has the popularity of "Tai Sui" continued to increase in recent years, both in the folk and in the scientific community? Experts believe that there are two main reasons.

First of all, the folklore of "Tai Sui" has been circulated since ancient times, and some related records are very uncertain. For example, Qin Shihuang once decided that "Tai Sui" was an immortal elixir and ordered Xu Fu to lead his men to do everything possible to find it. According to ancient documents, in northern China, "Tai Sui" is a legendary evil spirit. As the saying goes, there are some sayings, such as "Dare to go to the lion's den to break the ground" and "Make a lion's den". Therefore, whenever a suspected "Tai Sui" creature is found in various places, people will be extremely concerned, and the media will scramble to report the hype.

Secondly, at present, the scientific research results have not clearly explained what constitutes the "Tai Sui" flora complex. Li Taihui said that the research on fungi by scientists all over the world is still limited. At present, there are about 6.5438+0.5 million-2 million kinds of fungi in nature, and only about 5% of them have been studied by the scientific community. There are more than one million kinds of fungi that have not been identified. Therefore, experts have no doubt that even if Sun Yat-sen University has made new research progress on the molecular system of this substance, it is still difficult for the scientific community to formally name this complex creature.
