In 979, at the age of 59, Harumi was ordered by the crown prince (later Emperor Hanayama) to go to Nachisan to perform a ceremony to seal the tengu. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
From then on, Harumi seems to have gained the trust of Emperor Hanayama, and the records detail Harumi's execution of the Onmyodo ritual.
After the abdication of Emperor Hanayama, Harumi also gained the high trust of Emperor Ichijo and Fujiwara Michicho, as can be seen from Fujiwara Michicho's diary "Midoseki Hakuki" and the diaries of other nobles.
As an onmyoji, Harumi is very prestigious, and has served in important positions such as Doctor Sakyo Quan, Granary Temple, Harima Mamoru and other important positions, and his status has also risen all the way to the fourth place due to Fujiwara Michicho's trust and strong work ability, and he has been given the "Faqing Temple".
It became an insurmountable peak for the Onmyoji of the Heian period. In addition, Qingming's two sons, Jichang and Jiping, were also appointed as doctors of astronomy and the head of yin and yang, and the **** family also became a yin-yang Taoist family that can be compared with the Hemao family of the master's loyalty. Because he is the son of the white fox, the world calls him the "white fox son".
And about Ann and Bei Qingming's parents, Ann and Bei Qingming's father, usually think that he is the lower-level nobleman **** Yicai, about his mother, there are more legends, the most common one is that his mother is a white fox (influenced by the Japanese Inari God belief), named Yu Zhikai.
According to the Tale of Kuzuha Monogatari, Ann and Beizai rescued a white fox from the hands of Evil Emon, which was the fox fairy "Kuzuba" who had been practicing in the Shinta Forest of Izumi Province for many years.
After the transformation of a person and a good material fell in love, and then gave birth to Qingming. When Qingming was five years old, he unexpectedly saw his mother's original form as a fox, and the moment of separation came. Kudzu leaves her weeping young son and returns to the forest.
"If you miss it, look for it...... The deepest part of the Izumi Shinta Forest, Kuzuha ...... "The song that is repeated repeatedly, that is the last words that the mother gave to the child, and after the sunny tomorrow, he will follow the instructions of this song and be able to go to the secret place of the forest to see his mother again, but the official Japanese version is that the mother of Ann and Bei Harumi is a mountain people, and her name is unknown.
But there are also legends that **** Qingming does not have parents, but is transformed by himself in all things.
Modern research believes that in fact, An, Beyicai should have married a lowly performer at that time, or a low-status class such as a mountain folk wandering girl, and in the later period, in order to cover up this disgraceful fact or deliberately deify An and Bei Qingming, there was the legend of the white fox Ge Ye, in order to consolidate the status and mystery of **** Qingming in people's hearts.
The Heian period in which Harumi lived was an era of civilianism and peace on the outside, but on the inside it was full of sordid aristocratic power struggles.
Due to the incompetence of the public rule at that time, the life of the people at the bottom was miserable. In this terrible situation, the people at the bottom have the question of "what am I living for?"
And the high-level capable and the losers of power also have the question of "how can the political situation be saved?" ".
So, in this case, all kinds of negative emotions filled an era, and with it came the appearance of resentful spirits, and it was the work of the onmyoji to confront these resentful spirits that endangered humanity.
In addition, at that time, Kyoto, Japan suffered unprecedented natural and man-made disasters: major earthquakes, fires, floods and other situations continued to emerge, so the people were panicked, and the rebellion of ghosts and gods was very loud.
The nobles were convinced of the auspicious and evil of the position and date, and every time they went out, they had to pick the day and choose the direction, and whenever there was a disease or disaster, they would excuse ghosts and creatures to haunt them or encounter unclean things such as a hundred ghosts walking at night. Therefore, the aristocracy of the time was familiar with the various taboos of Onmyodo, strictly followed its etiquette and decrees, and even had corresponding taboos on daily life such as getting up, washing, and eating.
(And this custom continued until the Meiji Restoration.)
And the good and bad of the court should also follow this principle. Therefore, at that time, Yinyang-dao not only had an exclusive department in the state--Yin-Yang Liao (Yin-Yang Liao is one of the six liao under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Central Affairs, responsible for observing astronomy, meteorology, divination, formulating calendars, and expelling the troubled monsters in the capital to balance the yin and yang in the world.
In addition to officials, there are also onmyoji, yin-yang doctor, yin-yang sheng, calendar doctor, calendar doctor, astronomical doctor, astronomical student, missing carving doctor, shou chen ding and other staff), but also affect the implementation of national policy, this period of yin-yang is no longer a simple taboo and spell-based faith, but has a certain political significance.
As a result, Onmyoji was active in the political arena as a "national civil servant" in the Heian period. What's more interesting is that because the Yin-Yang Dao was monopolized by the Heavenly Emperor, the "Folk Yin-Yang Dao" was also developed in the public house.
An and Bei Qingming are the best, most outstanding, and greatest of the onmyoji of all generations, and his ability far exceeds that of any generation and any onmyoji.
According to the Tale of the Past and Present in the Noshi (classical Japanese literature), Haruaki saw the spirit of the maid in his house when he was born.
According to the Uji Monogatari and Kojitan, Harumi's main body is the reincarnation of a high monk, and in the course of his studies, he has gained the ability to manipulate ghosts and spirits.
After that, Ashiya Michiman looked for Qingming to fight, but failed miserably, so he had to be his apprentice. Qingming was ordered to go to the Tang Kingdom and worship the Venerable Master as a teacher.
After cutting daylilies for three years and three months, he helped the Venerable Master build a Manjushri Hall. When he returned to China, the Venerable Master passed on to him a copy of the Golden Black Jade Rabbit Collection. After ten years outside, his wife Lihua (also transliterated: Pear Flower) and Daoman committed adultery.
Daoman said to Qingming: I got a copy of "Golden Black Jade Rabbit Collection" in my dream. Qingming said that it was impossible, and Daoman took it out of his arms to show him, and it turned out that it was secretly copied by Lihua. The two argued, Daoman killed Qingming, and Lihua finally became a family.
Manjushri Hall burned down suddenly, and the people of Bodao knew that Qingming had an accident and rushed to Japan. Excavate large and small bones from the tomb and cast a spell to resurrect Harumi. Qingming cut off Michiman's head and burned the notebook.
As a result, there is a Japanese proverb: "Onmyoji does not know his own luck", which is said to be Ann and Bei Harumi. (Note: Because the story of Pear Blossom is typical, it is also widely spread in Japan, so later generations use "Pear Blossom" as a metaphor for Harumi's wife)
Qingming's wife, the only trace to follow is the above-mentioned "pear blossom". As for the so-called "Kamo Sara" or his daughter "**** Saya" in the Chinese and Chinese fanfictions, or the so-called "Tuyumen Yuanji" is the wife of **** Qingming, the names are all imaginary, and there is no record in the history books, so it is determined that it is apocryphal.
