What is the Japanese shrine for?

Brief introduction of Japanese shrines 2006-11-2413: 09 For Japanese, shrines are one of the most daily sights. After being born next month, parents will hold the well-dressed baby to the shrine to pray for the smooth growth of the child; On the third day of July in 1 1 month, three-year-old boys and girls, five-year-old boys and seven-year-old girls all wear traditional costumes and follow their parents to the shrine to cross their hands and bow down. Other seasons, weddings, various exams ... even women's love, marriage and pregnancy depend on the shadow of the shrine. In other words, in Japan, Buddhist temples are in charge of everything after death, but when people are alive, they pray for God's protection almost all the time. Whether it is a shrine located in a lush forest, a shrine that you have to climb seemingly endless stone steps to reach, or a small shrine quietly sandwiched between high-rise buildings in the city, the ways of paying homage are similar. Here, let's visit a virtual holy land. Social symbol (しゃごぅひょぅ) First of all, there should be a "social symbol" in front of the bird, which is the name of the shrine. Although I don't know when it originated, according to the literature, it should have originated in the Edo era and popularized in the Meiji era. Before the war, the names of "associations" were marked with "big associations with official currency" and "small associations with national currency" respectively. After the war, lanterns (wooden lanterns, pottery lanterns, metal lanterns and stone lanterns) were abolished, and the most common one was stone lanterns. Lanterns were introduced into Japan with Buddhism. They were originally used only in Buddhist temples, and later used in shrines in peacetime. After the Muramachi era, it evolved into a shrine donated by believers, so there are many lanterns in the shrine. The oldest extant lanterns are the torii in とりぃぃ and the torii in Chunri Society. Etymology includes various sayings, such as "stop the bird" and "enter through". Because the historical origin is older than the country, it can be regarded as a boundary between the human world and the divine world, indicating that once you step into torii, it is a sacred place. Torii is made of wood, stone, copper, iron, pottery and cement. And most of them are made of wood. There are also various forms, but generally there are two cross bars and two straight columns. The three largest torii in Japan are torii (height16.8m), torii (height10.93m) and torii (height10m). These three are all made of wood. Loumen Most famous shrines have building doors, and the most luxurious one is probably Yangming Gate in broad daylight. Usually there are two generals, Hum and Ha, on both sides of the temple gate, and the "God with Bow and Arrow" (minister with arrow) on the left and right sides of the shrine floor. "Divine grace" is a plaque that records the names, positions and order of gods. Usually hanging on Ruiyuan (みずがきたまがきききききが) is also an enchantment. The innermost layer is Ruiyuan, the outermost layer is Banyuan, and the middle layers are Yuyuan Garden. Inside the Ruiyuan is the main hall dog (こまぃぬ), which is like a lion's guardian, not a dog. It is said that there are decorations of "lions and stubborn dogs" in heian period Palace. In "Pillow Grass", Qing Shao Na also mentioned hanging curtains with "stubborn dogs". It was only in the edo period that it was popularized in the shrine. The oldest existing stone carving "Dog" is the statue in front of the south gate of Dongda Temple, which was built in 1 196. Men and women alike, but occasionally there are statues of penises and genitals. Generally speaking, from the front, the elephant (dog) has a long horn on the left and the elephant (lion) has a long horn on the right. "A" is the first sound in Sanskrit, and "しなわ" is the last sound. In tantric religion, the word "しめなわ" means all strings. This is also an enchantment to distinguish the "sacred world" from the "secular world". In the past, rivers or springs in shrines were usually used for gargling and washing hands. After the Kamakura era, stone bowls were gradually replaced. The oldest existing water tray is Ruogong Bagan (Kyoto Dongshan Wutiao) (1386). The "hand water shed" of the general shrine is very simple, but the "hand water shed" of the luxury shrine is very particular. The rule of swaddling is to hold a long-handled spoon in your right hand, scoop water to wash your left hand, and then scoop water to wash your right hand with your left hand. Then scoop the water into the palm of your left hand with your right hand, and then rinse your mouth with clear water in the palm of your left hand. Finally, erect a spoon filled with clear water to clean the long handle. In short, you can't directly send the clear water from the spoon into the mouth to gargle and worship the temple (はぃでん), which is generally located in front of the main hall, and some shrines are integrated with the main hall. There is a clock above the worship hall. Before you visit the temple, you should ring the bell to call God back, lest God run to play chess with other gods and not hear your prayers. It is said that the bronze bell was introduced to Japan in the 4th century, but it was not until the Middle Ages that it was hung in front of the shrine for worshippers to ring the bell. Don't forget to throw the coin into the "cash box" before shaking the zero (さぃせんばここばこここここごぇ𞗃). Usually you throw a five-dollar coin, because "five yuan" and "Yu Yuan" (ご the first two bows are deep and then high-five. The last salute was the second high five. You don't need to separate your palms, just cross your palms and nod, and then pray in your heart that the "three books" in the three shrines are usually mirrors, swords and jade, that is. This is a symbol of the throne handed down by emperors in past dynasties. Among the three kinds of artifacts, Kusanagi sword went into the sea with Emperor Andrew in the "Battle of Genping", and the other sword was presented by Ise Shrine in the future, which is the three royal artifacts at present. In ancient shrines, "three books" are usually information from mountains, rocks, rocks and other natural objects. у (のりとはらぃ) "News" is based on the origin of Japanese mythology to recite this shrine to worship gods. Pit is to remove all evil and dirt from body and mind, which is different from general bathing. Well, there are various ways. The most common way is that after reading the message, God waves his "imperial coin" (white paper or colored paper banner), and then another God soaks the branches of Tuo 'aryang in salt water and waves them left and right. Salt water refers to seawater. Japanese shrines hold "big moves" every June and1February. It is said that this ceremony has shaped the Shenmu (しんぼく) since the end of the seventh century. If you see a "note rope" tied to a shrine or. The famous Japanese shrine Shenmu is Toarey Yang (800 years old) from Chunjiu Society in Naraichi, "T-shirt" from Kyoto Metropolitan Meihe Society (しるしのすぎ), and Ayatsuga (1800 years old) from Toarey Yang, a fragrant paper palace in Fukuoka City. In other local holy places, the Shenmu Divine Music (かぐら), which has a history of more than 1,000 years, is a sacrificial ceremony to entertain gods to enjoy music and dance. 1/the "Imperial Music" established in kloc-0/century was held in the palace, and the folk music was subdivided into witch music, Izumo music, Yi Shi music and other photo agencies (せっら It's interesting to see this small club hall. Usually, there are wooden signs in front of the lobby of small clubs. There are many small halls in some local shrines with a long history. After reading the explanation for a long time, I still can't see what it has to do with offering sacrifices to gods in the main hall. At this time, you can make up stories for the gods and draw horses. In ancient times, live horses were dedicated to the gods. Horse racing was actually a divination ceremony, but horses were expensive animals. If there is a clear purpose when visiting the shrine, such as entrance examination, pregnancy, marriage, etc. You can buy a painted horse, write down your name (never write your phone number and address, and never write a pseudonym) and pray, and then hang it in the imperial seal (ぉふだ) designated by the shrine. In addition to amulets, there are some small things in the "guardian", which are suitable for hanging on sacred symbols such as people, purses, mobile phones and carriages (ぉみくじ). Now, God is tied to branches or fixed places in shrines. In fact, in the past, only people who prayed for love or marriage between men and women were allowed to tie gods to branches in shrines, which shows that. In short, regardless of horse paintings, imperial edicts, guards and sacred signs, the shrine will first perform the ceremony of "cutting" every year, and then burn them all. The "imperial edict" at home can be taken to the shrine and thrown away after one year (or when prayer is finished). Any shrine has a place for people to throw such spells, and it doesn't have to be thrown at the shrine where they first got the spells. However, if you got the spell while traveling (overseas) and can't throw it back later, you can also burn it yourself/%C3% Ce% CF% EB% D2% F8% Ba% D3/blog/item/da1kloc-0/5f22373720a64623E8E3.
