Drawing Ceremony......

1. The procedure of the drawing ceremony has a certain procedure for drawing symbols, and it must not be simple and the order reversed. From a general point of view, the painting of talismans must be set up to perform altars (especially Taoist priests), there is a so-called "general altar style".

The general mantra in the general altar style is written with the gods that Taoist priests usually believe in - the land, the city god, the Eastern Blue Emperor, the Southern Red Emperor, the Western White Emperor, the Northern Black Emperor, the Vermilion Bird General, the Xuanwu General, the Black Killing General, etc.

Such as the ancient Dunhuang Taoist priests when drawing the general altar diagram in the general charm in the general charm. The Taoist priests also had to build an altar and make two seals of the Emperor of Heaven. These two seals are carved on the altar, both before and after. There are also those that do not have a "general altar style" or an altar, such as "please immortal method" and so on.

When inviting the immortals, offer three plates of fruit, three teas, and three wines to the shrine of the main hall house... , or temporarily set up in a certain direction outside the house, equivalent to the dining table of the table.

Before drawing the talisman, one should first purify one's mind - concentrate, be sincere, clear of distracting thoughts, concentrate on one's mind, and purify one's body, face, hands, and mouth, and prepare offerings such as fruits, rice wine, incense and candles, as well as pen and ink, cinnabar, yellow paper, etc.

For these supplies, the Taoist priest first used a divine spell to make it have divine power).

(1) Pen mantra: The five thunder gods will be electrocuted, and the Warner will be alive and secure, and the ghosts will be restrained, and all the dead and alive will be destroyed, and I will live forever, and I will be as urgent as the law.

(2) Water mantra: This water is not extraordinary, the water in the north is a little bit of water in the inkstone, the clouds and rain must be swallowed by the sick, and the diseases will be eliminated, and the evil ghosts will be swallowed and swallowed like a crush, and the urgency will be like a law. Fourth, the time taboo of drawing talismans The Dragon Boat Festival is an auspicious day for drawing talismans and making talismans, and the talismans are mostly held on this day.

This is especially true for drawing Dragon Boat Festival exorcisms. There are four days of the year when you should not scribble on the symbols, and if you draw them on these four days, it will not only be ineffective, but also harmful. These four days are the ninth day of the third month, the second day of the sixth month of the sixth month, the sixth day of the ninth month, and the second day of the twelfth month of the lunar calendar.

It is best to choose sub-time or hai-time for drawing symbols. It is said that at this time it is the time when the yang disappears and the yin and yang are long, and the aura is the heaviest, and it can also be used at noon, mao, and unitary.

Actually, the semiotics of the world now ...... Ye Chao personally felt that it was far less preferential, deep, and wonderful than the talismans of the Chinese Taoist priests......

However, the mainstream culture of the world at present is dominated by the West.

In fact, if Oriental culture was the mainstream as hundreds of years ago, then it is likely that there would be no "semiotics", and the appearance of symbolics would be almost the same.

You, the Taoist priests, used to be a group of people who were at the forefront of science, and it was they who refined gunpowder through alchemy.

However, many of the Taoist priests' "Fu Zheng Xue" are secret, so the truth is not known to outsiders.

However, the Taoist talisman can really be called a special existence of semiotics.

The world has not justified the name of the talisman, and of course Ye Chao will not take a mouse - nosy. He believes that the idea that the talisman is a kind of magical "semiotics" will be put forward sooner or later, and sooner or later there will be experts, scholars and even scientists to study it.

This is the inevitability of the world and academic development, so there is no need for Ye Chao to meddle in things, Fu Gong, a rune culture unique to Chinese teachers, will get its due status sooner or later.

Why didn't the Chinese Taoist priests apply for any World Heritage Site for their talismans?

Maybe I don't know?

Ye Chao felt more disdainful.

Most of the Chinese people used to worship the foreign and flattering, but the Taoists saw through the reincarnation of the world, the change of dynasties, and the vicissitudes of life could not move their Taoist hearts, let alone just a name for a world cultural heritage?

Those who have attained the Enlightenment do not see the need for this.

However, Ye Chao, as a mortal, feels that this is still necessary, but it is difficult to say who will mention it and who will be willing to mention it.

To be honest, Han Xiao also studied semiotics, but in the end, he still thought that the Chinese Taoist talisman was better...... Force some.

Therefore, Ye Chao, who studies semiotics, turns to study talismans, which feels very fun.

At that time, Ye Chao was really afraid that he would lose his mind by playing Fu Fu by himself......

There is an old Chinese saying that playthings lose their minds.

The source of this sentence is in the book "Shangshu Traveling Mastiff": "Playing with people loses morality, and playthings lose their minds."

Here's another allusion:

In 668 B.C., Chinese history had entered the Spring and Autumn Period. The status of the Zhou royal family declined, and the various vassal states competed for power, the weak and the strong, and the Duke of Qi Huan reused Guan Zhong, playing the banner of "respecting the king and conquering the king", and laid the hegemony in one fell swoop.

At this time, the defense of the country was a different scene. After decades of national political turmoil in Zhouhu, Xuangong, Huigong, and Qianmu, the vitality of the country was greatly damaged, and the glory of Uncle Kang and Wugong had already become a distant shadow of hope.

At this moment, a generation of absurd monarchs Wei Yigong stepped onto the historical stage of defending the country.

Wei Yigong is the seventeenth monarch of the fourteenth generation of Wei Guo, and his biggest hobby in life is neither power and art, nor wine, let alone governing the country, but raising cranes.

He built a special palace for raising cranes, and he was accompanied by cranes all day long, and he liked the crane's outstanding appearance and arrogant and elegant posture very much, so that he was fascinated, and he left all the big and small things of the country from top to bottom.

He also let the crane ride in a high-class and luxurious car, even more advanced than that of the ministers of the court, and when the crane rode through the street, all passers-by had to respectfully dodge the side.

In order to raise cranes, the defense of the country has to spend a lot of resources every year, and the people have invisibly increased the burden, and they are all complaining. Due to Wei Yigong's abandonment of state affairs, the ministers' recitals were like mud cows in the sea, and many international and domestic affairs could not be handled in a timely manner, which gradually aroused strong dissatisfaction among the ministers.

And Wei Yigong indulged in playing with cranes, ignoring the actual situation, and had long lost his grand ambition to revive and defend the country.

Soon, the catastrophe of the defense of the country struck.

In 659 B.C., the Di tribe in Shanxi and Shaanxi seized the opportunity of the weakness of the defense of the country to send troops to invade and defend. Wei Yigong panicked immediately after receiving the report, and he ordered the army to resist, but the soldiers all said angrily: "Since the crane can enjoy higher treatment than us, let it go to war now!"

Wei Yigong had no choice but to personally supervise the army of the country and fight with the Di people in Xingze. Due to the lack of fighting spirit of the army, the patriotic army was quickly defeated by the Di tribe, and even Wei Yigong was killed on the battlefield.

Later, if it weren't for the aid of Qi and Song, the only remaining more than 700 people in Weiguo, Weiguo would really be wiped out.

Later generations cannot forget the lesson of Wei Yigong's playing with cranes and destroying the country, so they will call his behavior "playthings lose their minds".

The ancients had a poem: "I once heard the ancient admonition to warn of poultry famine, and whoever knows a crane will lose the state." Xingze was full of phosphorus fire at that time, maybe he rode a crane back to the immortal country?"

It is a sharp satire on Wei Yigong.
