Xiao Tianshu heard that Li Zixuan, this kid, was still coming, so he was angry and said, "What are you still doing?" This is a Taoist temple, not a place for you to go on a blind date......"

Nian Fu smiled and said: "Hehe, don't pay attention to him, you are the same age, even if you are good friends, your classmates are not ......"

Li Zixuan listened to Xiao Tianshu's repeated scolding himself, and also sneered: "Even if a Taoist priest can't get married, I will have a good relationship with my young lady when the time comes, isn't it a monk who is also vulgar?" Hehe, as long as the two are happy, where is there anything difficult! Even the laws of heaven and earth can't stop people who love each other from being together......"

Xiao Tianshu didn't expect that he couldn't be angry, so he scolded two sentences at will to relieve his anger, and turned people away by the way, who knew that this kid was not on the road, no matter how he said it, he looked innocent and innocent who didn't understand the world, but unfortunately he was not his younger brother, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that the more innocent he was, the more annoying he was.

Xiao Tianshu said: "It's still vulgar, it's still in love with each other, what you say is better than singing, don't have your spring and autumn dreams, go back and wash and sleep, Taoist priests can't get married, how about it?" Dumbfounded this time, right? ”

Li Zixuan said: "Wedding is one of the four major events in a person's life, "birth, marriage, birth and funeral". Birth is the birth of a person, marriage is marriage, birth is fertility inheritance, and mourning is a hundred years of return. These four things basically run through everyone's life. Why can't Taoist priests get married? Is it possible to get married? ”

Li Zixuan obviously listened to Xiao Tianshu's words, felt weak, and couldn't bear to admit defeat, so he turned to Nian Fu with his eyes.

Nian Fu was also soft-hearted, so he had to smile and say: "The first thing we have to figure out is: how does Taoism view marriage? "Taoism originated from the Yellow Emperor and was integrated in Lao Dan." Lao Tzu and Zhuangzi are representatives of Taoism, Taoism is a traditional Chinese religion, with a peculiar style: half into the WTO, half out of the world, probably is "swaying up to 90,000 miles" at ease! Taoism in China is divided into two major schools, one is called "Quanzhen", founded by Wang Chongyang's patriarch, Quanzhen Religion, which requires strict observance of precepts, and severe punishment for Taoist priests who violate the precepts, from kneeling incense, expulsion to death; The other faction is called "Zhengyi", which was created by Zhang Daoling's patriarch, and Zhengyi Sect takes "Zhengyi Jing" as the main classic, worships immortals, draws talismans and recites spells, subdues demons and exorcisms, and prays for blessings and disasters. ”

Li Zixuan was puzzled: "Does this have anything to do with whether the Taoist priest can get married?" ”

Nian Fu smiled: "Of course it matters, otherwise do you think I'm idle, the biggest difference between the two factions is: the Quanzhen Sect is to abstain from meat and alcohol, and they are all cut off from red dust and cannot get married." Zhengyi Sect is relatively relaxed, you can eat meat in normal times, you are allowed to get married and have children, and you are encouraged to enter the world to practice and accumulate merit in your practice, but all the prohibitions are not allowed when doing Dharma things. As a native religion of China, Taoism takes Tao as the highest belief and the five elements of yin and yang as the basic theory. As for the view of marriage, Taoism (mainly refers to the same as Zhengyi, the same below) is not against marriage and starting a family, which has a lot to do with the theory of yin and yang. ”

Xiao Tianshu said in an air: "Nian surname, brother? ”

Nian Fu said, "Huh? "I thought to myself, what is this Xiao Tianshu doing in a weird way?

Xiao Tianshu said: "Are you still a buddy?" Why are you telling this kid this......

Nian Fu said: "Oh, what can I do, I only thought of you when I said it, and I didn't want to tell him that it was like this, so what should I do?" Either I use my mana to take it back, and take these words back like water spilled out, how much mana will this take, or Brother Xiao, you can try it? ”

Li Zixuan smiled: "Hehe, it's okay, let's talk about it first, I've heard it too, I know everything I should know......"

Nian Fu saw that Xiao Tianshu just rolled his eyes, and said: "The early Taoist classic "Taiping Sutra" also believes that if there is no marriage relationship, it will inevitably lead to "Yin and Yang do not intersect, and it is extinction and no world." Peng Zu, who is regarded as an authority in the Taoist community, proceeds from people's physiological and psychological instincts and believes that "men cannot be without women, and women cannot be without men". At the same time, if you want to cultivate the immortal path, you must first cultivate humanity. Marriage is also a kind of preaching need, imagine that Taoist priests do not get married, hidden in the mountains and forests, in the long run, who will preach? ”

Li Zixuan was also fascinated when he heard this: "Yes, look at what our ancestors said, if you don't get married for a long time, who will preach!" ”

Nian Fu said with a smile: "It is precisely for many reasons that disciples of the Zhengyi sect can get married and have children. However, it must be noted that the same beliefs and value orientations are the basis of Taoist marriage, and Taoist weddings talk about marriage, and in Taoism there is a "old man under the moon who respects God" who specializes in the fate of men and women; There are the "two immortals of harmony" who are in charge of the harmony of the couple; The "Hongluan Tianxi Xingjun" who is in charge of happy events, celebrations, and marriage signals on behalf of marriage ties. At the same time, the Taoist Taiyin Emperor, that is, the god of the moon, "Yuefu Phosphor Star Jun Miaoguo Su Yue Tianzun" also manages people's marriage problems. In addition, Taoism also has Taoist weddings exclusive to Taoists, and usually Taoist weddings are divided into a welcoming process and a ritual process. ”

Li Zixuan smiled: "Ah! Even the gods in charge of marriage have it, which means that this marriage must be married, and I see on the Internet that there are Taoist priests who can get married solemnly and elegant! Do Taoist priests have to wear ancient costumes when they get married? ”

Nian Fu said: "I haven't seen this, Xiao or you want to talk about it?" ”

Xiao Tianshu rolled his eyes and said: "The invitation process, let's not talk about it here for the time being, let's focus on the scientific ritual process." The ritual process can usually be divided into six parts: "......"

The content of the pre-Qi scientific instrument mainly includes: step virtual rhyme, lifting Tianzun, hanging rhyme, high gong speech, Yao altar rhyme, small swing filth, etc.

The first thing is to make the newcomers incense, so that the incense cloud is the letter and convey the heart. After that, worship heaven and earth to thank the heaven and earth alliance, and worship the patriarch to thank the ancestor for the blessing and protection. After the newlyweds expressed their gratitude to the gods, Master Gao Gong began to "welcome the truth and invite the saints" to witness the marriage. And after asking the sacramental God to make his intentions clear, he began to pronounce the table. That is, to send an "email" to Tiangong to prove the newlywed, which will be stored by Tiangong.

Welcoming the gods and inviting the Holy Evidence Alliance, the content includes: high merit speech, great praise rhyme, lifting the heavens, wishing incense mantras, entering the mind, burning the table to the sky, etc.

Coronation

The bride and groom crown, the master of the high gong to add hairpins to the bride, the bride and groom give letters and bows to each other, the bride and groom drink a glass of wine, the parents of both sides go to the temple to make incense, salute the gods, take a seat, the bride and groom bow to their parents three times, and offer tea, etc.

The marriage is consummated, including: high merit speeches, consummation praises, etc.

The contents of thanksgiving include: the bride and groom bow to the patriarch, bow to the master of high gong, bow to the spectators, and complete the ceremony.

Xiao Tianshu said: "The whole marriage process was completed under the witness of the ancestor master, listed as an immortal, and Gao Dao. For Taoists, the testimony of the ancestor is more sacred than the oath of the mountains and seas. ”
