I went to Xiazhanshan Temple yesterday 2 days. This is the most famous temple in Qingdao . I wanted to go there a long time ago, but I always felt that this was a superstition and I didn’t want to do such things.
Little When you look at the date of the grandma at home, she will burn incense and kowtow to the old lady in the main hall on a picture. This is the most important ceremony. Sometimes my grandfather will help you do something. I was very naughty at the time and deliberately used the burning incense to light a few holes on the hanging chart. Grandma was so dazzled that she didn't see it. Sometimes I would steal some crispy meat from the offerings, which means I would just say a few words, but after I offered them, I would eat them at home.
However, I still can’t figure out who the old lady is on the picture. My grandma always calls her old lady. I guess it may be Taishan old lady , which is a belief circulated in the Luxi region. If a friend goes to climb Taishan , when you walk up Zhongtianmen for a while before you reach Nantianmen , you will see a tribute from an old lady Taishan on the side of the road. It is a very short hole. If you don’t pay attention, you will easily miss it.
Hall The left hand side of the door of the house will worship God. In writing, it is Jade Emperor . The position of the worship board is as high as the upper threshold. The burning incense must be inserted into the incense box on the board. It is said to be an incense box, but it is actually all , wood ash . I don’t know what I have accumulated for decades, and I keep it under the eaves all year round, and I don’t know how many times I have soaked in rain.
Grandma can't reach it when she gets older. I'm a little taller. If I'm at home, I'll ask me to put the incense in it, and then grandma put the tributes on the ground, kowtowed, and muttered to let me go to school well, the whole family is healthy, promotion and wealth, etc. I have never kowtowed me before. If I am in a good mood, I will stand at the door and watch TV. I will always sneer at the young scientific young people who have received socialist education since childhood.
is the only one left to worship in Kitchens Prince , which is the most well-known god. The kitchen conditions at home are relatively simple, and the living environment of the Kitchen God is not very good. The hanging statue will be dark and sticky after not lasting for a month. In the later period, it is difficult to distinguish the size of the hanging statue. Perhaps because of the relatively single function of this god, the worship given to it by grandma in memory is also the simplest and the number of times is relatively small.
It is said that at this time, some sesame candy should be offered. This sesame candy is a bit sticky. I heard people say that offering sesame candy means sticking to the mouth of the Kitchen God and saying less bad things. But my grandfather almost never bought sesame candy, and I have never eaten it at home. When I grew up, I saw that there was something sold, so I started eating this thing. Hehe, it was quite good, it was quite sticky.
only have these three gods. I feel that they are all Taoist ...
small When I was in my own village, I don’t remember any temples, but there are ones in the surrounding villages. I would like to say it is a temple, but I always say one word in my home, but I don’t mention the word temple. On any date, grandma would ride her little triple wheel to burn incense and kowtow with a group of old ladies. Before going, the old ladies would discuss what kind of Bodhisattva to worship.
I have never been to it. Sometimes I would curiously ask my grandma where the temple is, and who would kowtow, but after asking, I forgot and never thought about going there. I remember one time I heard from my grandma that the temple I had been to before was demolished by the government because of superstition, but they couldn't go there. I laughed and told my grandma that this was all superstition and that you old ladies were just cheating on you. My grandma didn't speak, and I didn't know what grandma was thinking at that time, but another temple was built around behind, and my grandma followed again.
I know what my grandmother would say every time she burns incense and kowtow. There must be 9 of the 10 sentences that are all of me. When I was a child, I was healthy, I studied well after school, and I started a family as soon as possible after graduation. I was tired of listening.However, I have never had any serious illness and my studies are relatively smooth. My grandma has made a lot of contributions. Because of her good studies back then, my grandma was very proud. But later, I left home and I never cared about her. I was just fooling her by doing it.
I rarely see Taoist things outside, and it seems that there is no popular kowtow worship in Taoism. There are many Buddhist temples, but I have no interest in Buddhism. I think there are many monks in Hua. I went to Mount Wutai just to have fun before. I just passed by those temples and just wanted to bow my head. I asked me to kneel down and kowtow, but there was no door. The only feeling of wine and meat passing through the intestines and Buddha’s heart is my only feeling.
But , sometimes people change a little, and I don’t know why, maybe I really understand when I grow up, and accidentally saw the introduction of Zhanshan Temple again, let’s go.
A passage was printed on the wall of a hall in Zhanshan Temple. I think it is very interesting. The general idea is to burn incense and three pieces of burning, which discusses that worshiping Buddha is not superstitious, but more of a sustenance in the heart, and it teaches people truth, goodness and beauty. OK, that’s great. I didn’t have much thought burden at that time. I was not superstitious about burning incense and kowtowing. By the way, I just said that, I was not interested in Buddhism. This passage touched me a lot at that time, and now I forgot it completely, alas.
would not kowtow, so he asked his companions about kowtow etiquette. After a walk around, he kowtowed three times before finding the gods in charge.
