Fan Waijuan, where should we go? Five, crazy superstition taboo!

Five, crazy superstition taboo! In addition to the heavy armored aristocratic clothing, toxic aristocratic cosmetics, absolutely unhealthy aristocratic diet, and boring aristocrats in peacetime, it seems that it is too masochistic, so we invented all kinds of dazzling taboo superstitions-the complexity of which, if strictly observed, may be enough to make us modern people crazy. Japan, in peacetime, was mild and peaceful on the surface, but the imperial court was still full of dirty power struggles. Due to heavy exploitation, the bottom people live in extreme pain and always feel that there is no hope. There are also many frustrated and pessimistic people among the nobles, who are quite confused about the future. This overall listlessness eventually led to the prevalence of superstitious activities and the rampant theory of ghosts and gods. At that time, in the cognition of Japanese officials, all kinds of legendary monsters did not live in distant forests, islands and valleys, but lived with human beings in this capital, even under the same roof. These demons often cause trouble and bring endless fear and pain to mankind. Humans move during the day, ghosts haunt at night, and sometimes they pass by in groups on the streets of Beijing. This supernatural phenomenon is the famous "nocturnal ghost". People who accidentally witness this scene are said to be cursed and die! Because the intellectuals in Heian period were too developed in associative ability, they just imagined the capital where they lived as a terrible cave full of ghosts. Therefore, those officials and nobles who are less courageous than rabbits just scare themselves in various ways and feel that there are dangers everywhere around them, so they must find professionals to find ways to keep them safe. Thus, in Kyoto, Japan during the Heian period, a group of Y and N teachers, represented by Abe Harumi, came into being. In the peaceful period that lasted for four centuries, it became the most active stage for teachers Y and N Yang, and even many government affairs depended on the opinions of teachers Y and N Yang. To tell the truth, no matter how many mysterious veils the later literary works put on the legendary Y and N Yang teachers such as Harumi Abe, the Japanese Y and N Yang teachers' exorcism methods in peacetime are not much different from those of our Shen Han witches in rural China. It's nothing more than long hair, whispering mysterious spells and dancing strangely, then waving swords and bows in the air a few times, sprinkling some salt or beans outside the door (this custom has been passed down until now), posting some runes, and finally telling you that this ghost has been driven away, so pay quickly! —— Pay attention to the fact that teachers Y and N Yang in peacetime generally only exorcise ghosts and do not destroy them on the spot. The excuse is "no killing". As a result, the aristocratic family had just settled in for a few days, and soon paranormal happened again. Ask Shi Yang y and n, and he is told that "the ghost came back last time". So, the poor noble master had to gnash his teeth and take out a large sum of money, asking teacher Y and N Yang to do another ceremony and drive away evil again, so on and on ... I have to say that teachers Y and N Yang in that era were very economical and knew the truth of running water. Just as the hospital now wants patients to recover immediately, I hope they can hang there alive and save money every day. However, the level of Shi Yang's fooling is obviously higher, which just makes the whole Kyoto become a magic cave, so that you rich people or officials will live in the shadow of ghosts for the rest of your life, and you will be scared and think of yourself as the only savior ... Well, from this perspective, nobles or officials in peacetime are short-lived, and it seems that there are some psychological factors in it ...-In heian period, absolutely. They not only choose the lining and orientation when they go out to do business, but also have corresponding taboos about the time of getting up, the order of washing and the food for dinner. Once there is a disease disaster at home, it is considered a ghost, and teachers Y and N must be invited to exorcise evil spirits and eliminate disasters. As for weddings and funerals, moving to new homes and other major events, it is necessary to repeatedly predict bad luck and investigate Feng Shui. And by the end of each year, your noble taboo calendar will be changed into a new year, so naturally you have to pay the next fee to Y and N Shi Yang ... just like modern charging software, it needs to be updated and upgraded every year. (Of course, there are also some people who are determined not to believe in evil, are not afraid of ghosts, and do not ask Shi Yang for help, but only a few. In this way, because everyone has his own almanac, what everyone fears and what needs to be avoided are different and change every year. However, this taboo calendar is absolutely private. Unless it is the best friend, officials rarely circulate and communicate with each other. It's really not easy to beat around the bush ... and the so-called "Ji Fang" just stays at home, does not receive guests, and only prays for the forgiveness and blessing of the gods ... As for whether he is really praying, only he knows. In later cartoons and novels about Heian period, this neurotic taboo custom evolved into a relaxed way of absenteeism: in cartoons, an official was often seen sitting on an ox cart with a sad face, and suddenly he heard the driver report "My Lord, a dead cat/dog was found in front of him". The official immediately smiled and ordered him to turn around and go back to the office-he could finally stop going to work! -In the concept of Heian period, if an official intends to escape the reform of political struggle, or feels too tired to stay at home, or even the grape trellis at home falls down, in an attempt to escape his fierce wife (in the aristocratic society of Japan in the early Heian period, the wife-visiting system was also implemented, and the husband and wife separated, and the wife generally lived in her mother's family, which was considered by scholars as "the remnants of matriarchal society"), she could pass. Among them, the short duration is Ri and the longest duration is 45 days. In short, in heian period, "Ji Fang" and "long vacation" should belong to the same category. If you say you have a holiday, you will have a holiday. A holiday is one and a half months. Such a laid-back working environment naturally envies modern civil servants. But the problem is, if you want to find an official to stamp and post something, but you know that he is in Ji Fang, but your position is not high enough, and you have to drag him out of the house to do things for you, then you have to wait endlessly day after day. In fact, in the Japanese imperial court in Heian period, because all officials lacked the concept of time and liked to give themselves a holiday, their work efficiency was horribly low, and often a trivial matter could drag on for several years. On one occasion, an emissary of the Song Dynasty crossed the ocean and landed on Kyushu Island. He submitted his credentials to the Kyoto court and asked when he would get an answer and let them prepare to return to China. As a result, the local officials of Kyushu Island told them: Dear guests of Song State, please be patient! Your majesty's reply to last year's letter from the messenger of the song dynasty has not been written yet! (The last messengers naturally left without waiting to get the book back. )
