The history of barnyard grass throwing

What is tossing? Jid m ℉ o ℉ o is a kind of ritual to invite divination, which is widely circulated in China society.

"Rin" is also called "Bei" (Bei), so "tossing Rin" in Minnan dialect is also called "postscript cup". According to the traditional custom, the content of the ceremony is to throw two half-moon cups about the size of a palm, one flat and one convex, to explore the meaning of ghosts and gods.

The convex surface is "Yin" and the plane is "Yang". Throwing is a communication tool between man and the spirit of God, and man can learn the will of God by throwing.

When throwing barnyard grass, first light a candle to sacrifice to the gods, and then explain to the gods the reason for throwing barnyard grass. After picking up the barnyard grass and putting your hands together to pay homage, you should wrap the incense in the incense burner and throw it on the ground. This is barnyard grass. After thanking the gods with folded hands, it takes three "saints" to pick up barnyard grass and throw it on the ground.

The historical origin of sending Wang Zhongzhai to Xiamen can be traced back to the early Ming Dynasty.

There are three large-scale places to send the king in Xiamen: Lvcuo Village in Anxi Town, Zhongshan Village in Haicang and Zhongzhai Village in Huli. This custom is usually held every three to four years, and it is determined to be held on a fixed lunar day by throwing reeds.

Sending the king's boat is sending the prince who hunts for the sky. There is no conclusion about the legend of the sovereign, which can be traced back to the early Ming Dynasty and the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty at the latest.

In 2004, 148 was sent by the prince, which has a history of more than 500 years. This prince does not represent the "god of plague", but instead of the emperor, he travels around the country, rewards the good and punishes the evil, and blesses the good weather, the country and the people.

Usually held once every three to four years. In the fixed lunar month, the ceremony of sending the king boat was held, and the king boat was made of Chinese fir or paper. Invite the prince to board the king's boat, load the daily necessities and even burn them at the seaside. "Sending the king boat", also known as "burning the king boat", is a traditional folk custom of Han nationality in ancient coastal fishing ports and fishing villages. By offering sacrifices to Poseidon and mourning the souls killed at sea, they prayed for safety at sea and profitable fishing.

The custom of "sending the king's boat" by fishermen in Xiamen Port also integrates the belief of Wang Ye (Zheng Chenggong). It is said that this custom originated in Taiwan Province Province. In the early Qing Dynasty, fishermen made a "king boat" to commemorate Zheng Chenggong's great achievements and sent it to the sea, but they received the news without making it clear.

This Han folk custom was interrupted during the Cultural Revolution. 1995 At the initiative of residents who went to Taiwan Province and Xiamen, the triennial activity was resumed, and the scale was more grand and lively.

The origin of throwing is a ritual of asking questions about Taoist beliefs, which is widely circulated in China society.

"Rin" is also called "cup", so "tossing Rin" in Minnan language is also called "postscript cup" According to the traditional custom, the content of the ceremony is to throw two half-moon cups about the size of a palm, one flat and one convex, to explore the meaning of ghosts and gods.

The convex surface is "Yin" and the plane is "Yang". The following is a description of the positive and negative combination: one level and one convex: calling it the "holy grail" (or "holy grail") means that the gods agree or things will go smoothly.

However, if the prayer is very cautious, it will take three consecutive times to count. Two planes: called "Laughing Cup" (or "Laughing Cup"), which means that the gods have not yet decided whether to approve or not, and their behavior is unclear. They can be thrown to the gods for instructions, or their prayers can be clarified again.

Two convex surfaces: it is called "Yin Cup" (or "Angry Cup"), which means that if the immortal doesn't agree, something will go wrong and you can submit it again for instructions. In folk beliefs, there are several established bow throwing ceremonies as follows: bow throwing is usually limited to three times.

Before throwing a bow, you need to explain your name, birthday, address and instructions to the gods. Before throwing the cup, put your hands together and worship the gods before putting it down.

The origin of "Taiwan Province Dajia Mazu" is related to Dajia Mazu's annual pilgrimage to Beigang Tiangong. According to the legend of the older generation, it has a history of 100 years, and it is the largest and most distinctive religious activity in Mazu Tempel, causing a sensation in Taiwan Province. This pilgrimage to Beigang for more than 100 years was decided in 1977 because of Zhenlan Palace. It caused a dispute between the two temples about whether Mazu in Zhenlan Palace is the spirit of Mazu in Chaotian Palace. At the same time, Fengtian Palace in Xingang actively invited Mazu to make pilgrimages around Xingang. Therefore, the pilgrimage to Beigang was cancelled in that year, and I went to Fengtian Palace in Xingang and made a pilgrimage around Xingang until now.

Border Pilgrimage: Every year in the early March of the lunar calendar, the "Border Pilgrimage" is a huge scene, with array heads, art pavilions, floats and so on. Only in the whole country. It is impossible to estimate the pilgrims entering the border. Every good man and woman has a fragrant flag in her hand. In this palace, we pay homage to the Virgin in the sky and wish the family all the best. On the night of the Lantern Festival, the date of pilgrimage is set. At the same time, we accept the registration of "grabbing incense" and service personnel on all fronts.

Out of the city: On the day of pilgrimage (usually in early March), everyone is crowded with people who send "Tiannv" to follow the incense. Route: Dajia passes through Qingshui, Shalu, Longjing, Dadu, Changhua, Flower Bed, Garden, Wan Yong, Tianwei, Xizhou, Xiluo, Wucuo, Erlun and Tuku. After the resumption of work, it is still the largest, largest and widest pilgrimage group in the province. From the activities, we can see the efficacy and degree of belief of "Da Jia Tian Nv".

Every year in the third month of the lunar calendar, Dajia has the biggest festival, which lasts for seven nights and eight days. The pilgrimage group trekked back and forth for more than 200 kilometers. Because of that sincere respect, they can accomplish their feat on schedule every year. Dajia Mazu pilgrimage group is the largest and most famous in the province.

It is said that Dajia Mazu went to Beigang to make pilgrimages. It has a history of one hundred years. During the reign of Chen Wu (1977), Zhenlan Palace cancelled its seven-night and eight-day trip to Beigang and went to Fengtian Palace in Xingang for pilgrimage.

The worship activities of Dajia Mazu began at 0: 00 in the morning, and a large number of believers would rush into Zhenlan Palace with fragrant flags in advance, bow down, make wishes and make cups. In the afternoon, a ceremony for praying for peace was held in a clean sedan chair, and the chanting group prayed for a safe and smooth pilgrimage. Then, President Yan Qingbiao invited the main and auxiliary burners, Meizhou Mazu, flags and other related items to the sacred sedan chair. The first fragrant Taipei Dajia Mazu Friendship Association arrived in Dajia in great strides. The messenger hurriedly led him into the town orchid palace, followed by Erxiang and Shenxiang, which attracted many people to watch.

At 0: 00 in the morning, after the three "carbines" placed in front of the temple embankment were ignited, the high sedan class slowly advanced to the temple embankment under the heavy protection of security guards and other personnel. Wherever the sacred sedan chair went, devout believers took the initiative to kneel down and worship, and firecrackers were deafening along the way. Believers' mood reached its peak, and more than 100,000 believers gathered behind Mazu's sacred sedan chair to see Mazu out of the city. Firecrackers and fireworks turned everyone into.

After more than 200 kilometers of trekking, the last day of Mazu's return trip was the last activity of pilgrims. When pilgrims enter the downtown area of Dajia, they will be in various streets. On that day, the townspeople will also prepare banquets to entertain relatives and friends, and the North and South department stores will also gather in front of the temple to set up stalls on Jiang Highway and Shuntian Road. So the day Mazu returned to drive was the busiest day in Dajia Town.

The main ceremonies of Mazu in Dajia include praying for peace, getting on the sedan chair, starting driving, staying driving, praying for happiness, celebrating the birthday, returning driving and seating. These ceremonies not only have religious significance, but also have the function of calming people's hearts and strengthening their beliefs. The ceremony of praying for peace was held on the day before departure, mainly to inform Mazu about matters related to pilgrimages, and to pray for the smooth activities of pilgrims and the safety of pilgrims. After the cleaning ceremony of the sedan chair, the ceremony of getting on the sedan chair is to welcome three Mazu, that is, the main mother, the auxiliary boiler mother and the Meizhou mother, into the sedan chair seat. The departure time of Dajia Mazu is around midnight. As soon as the departure time arrived, three "carbines" were lit and the incense team set off for Xingang. After three days and four nights, the pilgrimage team arrived at Fengtian Palace in Xingang, welcomed Mazu into the temple and held the opening ceremony. The main significance is to thank Mazu for blessing and make the pilgrimage process safe and smooth. The blessing ceremony is to pray for Mazu to solve problems for believers, plant blessings and prolong life. On the fourth day of the pilgrimage, believers held a birthday ceremony for Mazu, which was the most important activity of the pilgrimage, and decided on the time to return to Mazu. The ceremony was held at midnight that day, and the pilgrims followed Mazu back to Dajia. On the eighth day, the pilgrimage team returned to Dajia. After entering the downtown area, they returned to Zhenlan Palace surrounded by believers, and then held a ceremony to thank Mazu for his pilgrimage. Everyone's annual Mazu pilgrimage officially ended.

During the pilgrimage to Mazu in Dajia, all believers volunteered to provide meals and set up incense tables to welcome drivers. There are many folk customs that pray for peace and increase wealth, such as grabbing a sedan chair to keep Mazu, paying tribute to Mazu's health, asking Mazu for tea, marrying a newsboy, exchanging pacifiers with the third prince, and feeling the luck of the taxi team in Wenchang written test. Will be given a "sense of sacredness." What is reflected behind these behaviors is actually the anxiety and helplessness of the people. After all, depressed hearts need an outlet, but they choose to talk to Mazu instead of looking for a lifeline or a psychologist. Every year, wherever Mazu enters the incense group, it is often seen that believers kneeling to meet Mazu collapse and cry when the sacred sedan chair appears, and no matter what grievances, they are relieved at this moment.

By analyzing the worshipping of Xu Shaofeng, a geomantic master of Mazu, we can see that Mazu's name Maureen ascended to heaven at the age of 28. Because countless people were saved in their lifetime, people built temples to worship and pray for Maureen to protect the safety of fishermen. According to legend, after Maureen became immortal, she often traveled between islands with clairvoyance and clairvoyance. If a passing ship encounters danger, as long as you sincerely recite Mazu's holy name, Mazu will respond and save people from danger. Therefore, people call Mazu the patron saint of the ocean. With the development of history, Taoism reveres Mazu as Tian Fei, Tianhou and Tiannv. Mazu Tempel has great influence at home and abroad, from Dandong in the northeast of the motherland to Tianjin, Shandong, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan provinces. There are many temples and incense. With international exchanges and cultural exchanges, Mazu belief has spread to all parts of the world, such as Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines and other Southeast Asian countries. People's belief in Mazu is deeply rooted because of Mazu's spiritual protection. Sacrificing Mazu has become a custom and tradition. Then, how to worship Mazu and how to worship Mazu can have better results? Let's listen to the experience of Feng Shui master Xu Shaofeng in this respect. How to invite Mazu statue:

1. Mazu statue was invited to open at Meizhou ancestral temple and hold a ceremony of spiritual separation. After throwing the holy grail on auspicious days, you can take back the statue of Mazu and go home.

Second, choose a quiet place in your home, and you can place a shrine here with Mazu's permission. A stack of gold paper is placed in the middle of the shrine, and the statue is presented on the gold paper. The bottom of the statue seat is slightly lower than the incense burner.

Three, vases or lotus lanterns can be placed on both sides of the statue. In front of Mazu, it is best to use a round copper incense burner with two candlesticks and a long-lasting electronic red candle. Three plates of fruit can be served in front of the virgin Mary.

Four, after the complaint is properly filed, three cups of green vegetables, five fruits, three sacrifices and nine gifts are offered on the altar, and the incense ashes from the ancestral hall are added to the sandalwood stove where cigarettes curl up. Three pillars of incense are sacrificed to heaven first, and then three pillars of incense are inserted in the Mazu incense burner. The whole family knelt in front of the incense table with incense. Read the essay "Remembering Mother Mazu, Kindly Protecting the Country and Benefiting the People". I'm here to dedicate Anjin's body to this house ... pray ... "... half of the incense is thrown out, and the Three Holy Grails are used to confirm that the Virgin has settled in. In addition, Xu Shaofeng, a Feng Shui master, suggested offering sacrifices to the statue of Mazu in the morning and evening on weekdays, and offering tea in front of Mazu every morning if possible. March 23rd is Mazu's birthday every year, and believers who worship Mazu will worship on this day. Xu Shaofeng, a master of geomantic omen, suggested that worshipping Mazu is exquisite. You can click on the suggestion to do it. Food: Five kinds of animals (chickens need cocks and capons), several kinds of fruits, six to twelve bowls of various dishes, noodles (with red paper), hair cakes, red turtle cakes, three bowls of red jiaozi, three cups of green tea and five cups of wine.

Sacrifice: choose the auspicious time of the day. After the tribute, light candles, offer tea, burn incense and pray. Cigarettes should be inserted with three sticks of incense.

Toast: the first time you drink, invite the fairy to come and ask if the fairy will come. Drink for the second time, tell God what you want and explain how to thank them. When the incense burns to one third, worship with gold paper in both hands, and then burn four colors of gold in turn (Dashoujin, Shoujin, Jin Chu, Fujin and A-Nokes Semen Strychni). Here's to the third glass of wine. Ask the gods if they have finished it. If the offering is removed after use, the wine will be spilled on the paper ash. In addition, the ninth day of September is the day when Mazu ascended to heaven, and the offerings should be mainly vegetarian and fruit.

I wonder if the history and culture of Miaojiang can help you sort out the whole map of Miaojiang in the 25th year of Jiaqing (A.D. 1820). The area west of Yuanjiang River, south of Youjiang River, north of Chen Jiang and east of the junction of Hunan and Guizhou is designated as Miaojiang River, surrounded by water on three sides and mountains in the west, winding across Dalal Mountain in Hunan and Guizhou provinces.

The city is surrounded by Miao village, and bilateral relations are quite tense. The atmosphere of this small town surrounded by enemies must be unbearable, and there will never be such harmony and leisure as it is today. There are different opinions about the origin of Miao ancestors.

"The Warring States Policy Wei Ce" says: "In the past, there were three Miao people, the waves on the left and the water in Dongting on the right. Wenshan is in the south and Hengshan is in the north. " Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, most of the Miao people belonging to the ancient "Three Miao" are said to be descendants of Chiyou and a tribe called "Jiuli".

After years of battles with Yanhuang, Yao, Shun, Yu and other tribes, they gradually moved southward from the lower reaches of the Yellow River and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and settled in the desolate mountainous areas in southwest China, known as "Nan Man" in history. Some of them lived in Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan and Guizhou, and were called "Wu Lingren" or "fifth-rate people" in the Han and Tang Dynasties. Xiu Ba Ma Xiu, an epic poem circulated by Miao people in western Hunan, records the history of continuous migration of Miao ancestors.

When they still stayed in the era of "Zhanchu Zhanpu" (Jianghan Jianghuai Valley of Chu State), "they multiplied like fish and shrimp and harvested like mountains; More and more people and stronger teams; Life is getting better and better, tree house tile; Women wear silver and gold, men wear silk and satin; Cattle and horses are full of mountains, and pigs and sheep are full of circles. " After being destroyed by the evil spirits "cangue ga" and "cangue hideous", he was forced to leave the fertile plain and move to "Gao Rong Bachuo" (by Wuling Mountain) to rebuild his new home in Luxi Cave. "Men come and get married, and women come to accumulate hemp spinning lines", "The grain is abundant and the six livestock are prosperous; Cooking stoves smoke around the ninety-nine ridge, singing resounded through the sky in Wan Li ",only to be chased by evil spirits. "Natural disasters cover 99 mountains, and there is no home on earth".

The Miao people couldn't resist the seven cases and seven houses, so they had to rush from Dachuan to the river and from the river to the stream, just like "the fish in the river went upstream". Starting a business again and again brings about migration to more barren areas again and again.

Nowadays, it's hard to imagine how the Miao ancestors helped the old and took care of the young, reluctantly bid farewell to their former homes, and stepped into the hinterland of western Hunan, where wild animals entered and exited the unpredictable forest. Miao people love to sing folk songs, but even on such a happy occasion today, exporting Miao songs will still make people feel sad and sad. Those choking tunes are not intended to entertain others, but show the imprint of step by step and five steps by step. Perhaps the environment in which these Miao songs were born was a hard and unpredictable journey of Miao ancestors.

At the end of Ming Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty, the population of Han nationality in Central Plains surged. In order to solve the contradiction between population and land, Miao nationality was occupied and no way back Miao nationality was occupied, which led to the struggle between Han nationality and Miao nationality for living space from time to time. The Miao people were forced into the alpine zone in the southwest mountainous area step by step, and their living environment became worse.

According to the Survey of Miao Customs: "The four seasons climate of Miao nationality is different from that of the mainland. It is often filled with black fog, and it is slightly cheerful at noon.

When I am in a daze, people and animals don't meet each other, and it is difficult to move their toes. It's rainy in spring and summer, and it's hard to stay in the mud for ten days or months at a time.

As soon as it rained, the steam soaked into the bones and muscles. Its spring water is cave magma, extremely cold and biting. Drinking it will be bad for the stomach and the soil and water are not good. In the meantime, people who live outside often get boils. "

How to put feng shui at home is helpful to your career. Xu Shaofeng, a master of geomantic omen, concluded that the orientation of a house largely determines its ventilation and lighting. Good sitting posture can bring fresh air and bright light to the house, while bad sitting posture will make the air of the house turbid and the interior dark. It can be seen that residential orientation plays an important role in feng shui environment. Xu Shaofeng, a master of geomantic omen, pointed out that there are five geographical essentials in geomantic omen theory, namely "dragon, cave, sand, water and direction". "Image" is one of the five elements. When doing geomantic omen, we should pay attention to the orientation of sitting, which is the relationship between context and Tang Ming. Only the orientation of sitting can distinguish the two. The sitting direction of the house largely determines the ventilation and lighting of the house. Good sitting orientation can bring fresh air and bright light to the house, while bad sitting orientation will make the house air turbid and the room dark. It can be seen that residential orientation plays an important role in feng shui environment. Xu Shaofeng, a master of geomantic omen, pointed out that bad geomantic posture in this house will affect geomantic omen. As we all know, in geomantic omen, to find a treasure trove of geomantic omen, we should first look for Long Mai. After finding a lively dragon, find the knot according to the direction of the dragon. The cave is the gathering point of the mountain range and the best foothold. Whether an environment has the function of storing wind and gathering gas, sand plays a decisive role. The direction is the vertical direction of the house, and its function is to choose the best temperature at this node where the wind and gas are hidden, so as to better accept Long Mai's anger. Xu Shaofeng, a master of geomantic omen, introduced that the best sitting direction should be chosen in the environment where the living dragon has the best air gathering point and there is sand around. It can make the water and sand in Tang Ming produce auspicious magnetic fields. This magnetic field can be applied to people after practicing geomantic omen, resulting in the effect of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil.

Where a house stands and what it faces will have a direct or indirect impact on the physical and mental health and career development of people living there. If the front door of the house is facing a smoky garbage dump, the pests and odor generated by the garbage dump will rush into the house, breathe unhealthy air and look at dirty garbage, which will not only make people unhealthy physically and mentally, but also affect people's mental mood, and they will be in a bad mood when they go out early in the morning. What can they do on this day? But if the front door of the house faces the beautiful environment. Fresh air, flowing water, birds and flowers, even if you are upset, you will suddenly feel good when you see such a beautiful scenery. There is a cloud in burial: you get angry only after burial. Xu Shaofeng, a master of geomantic omen, said that walking upright is the best way to resolve hostility and move towards peace, and how to walk upright is directly related to his geomantic environment. Below, Feng Shui master Xu Shaofeng summarized several directions for your reference.

1. Yang positioning. Chaoyang has always been one of the unchangeable foundations of residential buildings in China for thousands of years. When designing a house, we should take the sunny side as the direction. In addition, if you are in the middle of the street, you should take wide people or people with many pedestrians as the positive direction. If there is a sea and a river next to the building, the house should face the water.

2. Take reality as the seat and take emptiness as the direction. According to Feng Shui master Xu Shaofeng, the real one refers to a room or a stove or a shrine, while the virtual one refers to a balcony and a living room. In other words, the residential orientation should be mainly rooms, stoves or shrines, balconies and living rooms. In modern houses, there is a balcony in the living room, which can incorporate sunshine and fresh air and create a comfortable living environment.

3. If it is a rural house, sit on the hillside and face the water. If one room is connected to another room and there is a patio, it is necessary to take the patio as the direction. If there is no patio, you have to go in the direction of most houses. If there is a pond in the hall, it should be oriented in this direction. The front of the yard should face the yard. If the yard is behind, take the vegetable field as a seat.

How to invite ancestors and gods when moving 1. Choose a good day.

2. Ask the immortals first, then the ancestors.

3. Arrange the orientation of the gods

4. Otherwise, it will have a great impact and cannot be ignored!

Xie basket, black umbrella (to worship ancestors, not gods)

1. Bye-bye, tell the immortals (ancestors) that they are moving, and the address of their new home is xxxxx.

2. Put the ancestral tablet in the thank-you basket and hold an umbrella when you leave your hometown.

3. Get on the bus at the same time as Xiang, tell your ancestors when you get on the bus, get off and cross the bridge.

Ancestor tablets don't need to be tied with red cloth, but please go back when you buy a new ancestral tablet. ※

When I arrived at my new home, I began to settle down on my desk.

The immortal (ancestor) must have gone too far before he went to the table (put a golden bucket in the middle of the living room).

6. The gods have gone too far with the gold of life.

7. ancestors went too far in cutting gold.

8. After the installation, ask the gods (ancestors) whether they have arrived at their new home.

If there is no sacred barnyard grass when sitting, you need to consider whether there are other problems. If there are sacred barnyard grass when sitting, it doesn't mean that your god (ancestor) must have been to your new home. Maybe an external spirit came to your god (ancestor) and gave you the sacred barnyard grass. ※

Therefore, if ordinary people are not sure that it is their own gods and ancestors who come to their new homes, it is best to invite professional teachers to sit down. ※!

When you arrive at your new home, you must report to the door gods, ancestors and gods before you can enter the door.

Gods belong to family gods, and ancestors are your family. When you enter a new home, you don't need to report to the keeper!

Defeat the villain

Open classification: witchcraft

catalogue

? A despicable character

? time

? location

? ceremony

Beating villains is a popular witchcraft ceremony in Hong Kong and Guangdong. I hope to use this witchcraft ceremony to expel and retaliate against the so-called "little people."

A despicable character

In the concept, "villain" not only refers to a specific person, but also can be an unspecified person relative to "noble person". China's traditional worldview is a dualistic worldview, which also produces various folk witchcraft beliefs, "Yang" and "Yin"; "Heaven" and "Earth"; "Right" and "evil"; "Male", "female" ... and so on, and "villain" and "noble".

time

The time for beating villains varies from temple to temple. The most popular day is "earthquake", and other times are "except for the day" recorded in the lunar calendar or almanac on the sixth, sixteenth and 26th day of each month. According to the folk saying, "the quiet" is the day when everything in hibernation is awakened by the spring thunder, so all kinds of filthy things, including villains and white tigers, are also beginning to stir, so it is necessary to beat the villains at this time to avoid the harm of the villains. The Sixth Day and the Minute Day are cloudy days in China's traditional view of the universe, so they are also days to relieve villains.

location

Beating villains usually happens in dark places, such as the bottom of a bridge. In Hong Kong, the Goose Neck Bridge between Causeway Bay and Wan Chai has become a popular place to beat villains. Every time people are surprised, many people go to the local land temple to beat villains. In the past, most of them were elderly people, but in recent years, young people have also participated.

ceremony

As far as its purpose is concerned, beating villains can be divided into passive witchcraft and active witchcraft aimed at specific people, while its ritual is a mixture of simulated witchcraft and contact witchcraft.

The client entrusts a specific goddess and gossip to use paper cut into human figures, write personal information or nothing on the paper as needed, and beat the paper with shoes or other objects to achieve the client's purpose.

The whole ceremony can be divided into eight parts:

Sacrifice to god: worship the god of heaven and earth with simple incense sticks.

Note: Write the customer's name, birthday, etc. On the patchwork amulet. If you want to fight a specific villain, write or place names, birthdays, photos, clothes and other things that can represent the identity of the specific villain on the villain paper.

Beating villain: using the shoes of the parties or performers, religious symbolic weapons or even various symbols such as incense sticks or cigarettes to beat and hurt villain paper. Little people's paper is divided into little people's paper, men's paper, women's paper and five ghost papers.

Sacrifice to the white tiger: If you hit the villain on the day of shock, you must sacrifice to the white tiger. The yellow paper tiger represents the white tiger, with black stripes on the paper and a pair of fangs on the corners. Sacrifice usually uses a small piece of raw pork with pig blood and puts it in the mouth of the paper tiger (feeding it), so that the tiger will not hurt people when it is full. Moreover, the goddess of worship will put greasy raw pork on the mouth of the paper tiger, so that the mouth of the paper tiger is full of oil and water, so that it can no longer open its mouth to hurt people. In some places, after the white tiger is sacrificed, the paper white tiger will be burned or its head cut off with a bronze sword.

Solution: Dispel all rumors, disasters and other small objects such as sesame seeds and beans, or burn paper boats and spells to eliminate disasters and solve problems.

Blessing: I pray for your help with red noble paper as the client.

Into the treasure: burning gold ingots, gold and silver paper, etc. To worship ghosts and gods.

Cup: "throw", throw two half-moon blocks, one flat and the other bent outward. Two flat upward cups are positive cups, the downward cup is negative cups, and the next one is the Holy Grail. The appearance of the Holy Grail marks the completion of the ceremony.

How did the Lantern Festival in China come about? The origin and allusions of Lantern Festival.

Lantern Festival originated in the Han Dynasty in China, and there are quite a few traditional folk customs. The proverbs and customs in Taiwan Province Province are also very interesting. It is said that the rebellion in Lu was put down on January 15th, so Emperor Wen of Han designated this day as the Lantern Festival. Later, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty further designated the Lantern Festival as Shangyuan Lantern Festival, and ordered the whole country to set up lanterns and tie the colors on that day? In order to worship the "Taiyi God", that is, the God who rules the universe.

The Lantern Festival, also known as Shangyuan Festival, is regarded by the people as the birthdays of Shangyuan, Yipin, 1997, Blessing the Heavenly Official Cave and Yuanyang Wei Zi Emperor in the Taoist "Three Officials san huang", from which comes the auspicious words "God bless the people".

There are many folk customs and proverbs about the Lantern Festival, among which "stealing customs" is quite interesting. It is said that the men and women who finally got married "stole onions to marry a good wife, stole vegetables to marry a good husband, jumped vegetables to marry a good wife, and stole an old good wife" at midnight snack in the Yuan Dynasty. If a newly married or married woman wants to have a son, she can "steal a bamboo fence to have a boy" on Yuan Xiao night, or on the Lantern Festival.

In addition, it is also a custom for Yuanxiao to predict good or bad luck by listening to incense. People who want to predict good or bad luck can first tell the gods what they want to do in the temple at home, then determine the direction of going out by throwing a raft and listen carefully to other people's conversations during the trip. After returning home, they can ask the gods for instructions and judge good or bad according to what they have heard.

There is also a Lantern Festival custom of "offering sacrifices to teachers and mothers", which is relatively unknown. It is said that Dong Shi was ugly in the Warring States period, but she was good at embroidery. At the age of 20, she drowned one night in Yuan Xiao, picking up embroidered shoes in the toilet. If Fu Shuo girls want to learn the embroidery skills praised by everyone in the future, they need to prepare candy, sweet cakes and an embroidered shoe in front of the toilet on Yuan Xiao night.

During the Yong Ping period of Han Dynasty (AD 58-75), when Ming Chengzu advocated Buddhism, it happened that Cai Cheng returned from India to seek Buddhism, saying that it was the fifteenth day of the first month of Mohato, India, and the monks gathered to pay tribute to the relics, which was an auspicious day to participate in Buddhism. In order to promote Buddhism, Emperor Hanming ordered "burning lamps to show Buddha" in palaces and temples on the fifteenth night of the first month. Since then, the custom of putting lights on the Lantern Festival has spread from being held only in the court to the people. That is, on the fifteenth day of the first month, both the gentry and the people hang up lights, and the urban and rural areas are brightly lit all night.

The custom of setting off lanterns during the Lantern Festival developed into an unprecedented lantern market in the Tang Dynasty. Chang 'an, the capital at that time, was already the largest city with a population of one million in the world, and its society was rich. Under the personal initiative of the emperor, the Lantern Festival became more and more luxurious. After the middle Tang Dynasty, it has developed into a national carnival. In the prosperous period of the Tang Xuanzong Kaiyuan (685-762 AD), the lantern market in Chang 'an was very large, with 50,000 lanterns and all kinds of lanterns. The emperor ordered 20 giant lantern buildings with a height of 150 feet, resplendent and magnificent.

The Lantern Festival in Song Dynasty is superior to that in Tang Dynasty in scale and dreamy lighting, with more folk activities and stronger national characteristics. Since then, the Lantern Festival has continued to develop and the time of the Lantern Festival has become longer and longer. The Lantern Festival in Tang Dynasty is "the day before and after Shangyuan". In the Song Dynasty, two days were added after the 16th, and in the Ming Dynasty, it was extended from the 8th to 18th to ten days.

In the Qing Dynasty, Manchu entered the Central Plains, and the court no longer held lantern festivals, but the folk lantern festivals were still spectacular. The date was shortened to five days and continues to this day.

In Taiwan Province Province, lanterns have the meaning of light and elegance, and lighting them means lighting up the future. The homonym of Taiwan Province Lantern and En stands for having a boy. So in the past, women would deliberately wander under lanterns, hoping to "drill under lanterns to lay eggs" (that is, swim under lanterns to give birth to boys).
