Today is the eleventh day of the lunar calendar, which is the traditional folk City God Christmas. City God is a type of Land God . It is one of the objects of sacrifice to the ancient emperor after the harvest at the end of the year. It is called the "Ba La Sacrifice". The old man said: Today is "the moon enters the temple of heaven, three do and three don't do". What do they mean by each?
What is "City God"?
Today is the Christmas of the City God. The interpretation of "City God" in " Shuwen " is: "The city is to support the people. The god is a city and pond. If there is water, it is called a pond, and if there is water, it is called a god." The ancients built city walls and dug trenches around the city to block the attacks of enemies and wild beasts. "City God" refers to trenches without water around the city. Water is a river and water is a god. Its function is to protect people from living and working in peace and contentment.
Therefore, the City God is the same as the Land God, and its main function is to protect the people. Therefore, there are City God Temples in many places. Every May 11th day, people will go to worship, some pray for rain, some pray for blessings, and some fulfill their wishes, which is very lively. Over time, a kind of temple fair was formed.
Today's moon enters the temple of heaven
The moon passes through one night every day, and walks through the Four Symbols Seven Constellations every seven days, and enters the first constellation of the Four Symbols every Thursday. When Thursday is the day of "Si You Chou", the month enters the Dou Su. Today is Thursday of May, which means the moon enters the dove. This Dou Su is not Beidou Seven Stars , but Xuanwu 's first Guan, which is Nandou Six Stars .
The Ji Su of the seven constellations of the Qinglong are connected to Dousu. Qi Su is the tail of the Qinglong , and Dousu is the head of the Xuanwu. Therefore, the "Ji Dou" is the junction between the dragon's tail and the snake's head, which is also called "Tian Temple". Although the six stars of the Southern Dipper are not as bright as the seven stars of the Northern Dipper, the two echo each other and their role is also very important.
The handle of the Big Dipper is always pointing to the seven constellations of the Qinglong, and the stars are moving, once a year. Therefore, the Big Dipper is built with four seasons, divided into yin and yang, equals five elements, and moves the military and controls the time of the four seasons of the year. If the handle of the Dou pointing to the east, the world will be full of spring; if the handle of the Dou pointing to the north, the world will be full of winter. Therefore, the time of all things is the process from Nandou to Beidou, which begins with Nandou and ends with Beidou.
So "Sou Shen Ji" says: "Nan Dou is born, Bei Dou is killed. Ordinary people are born from Nan Dou and pass Bei Dou, and all prayers are to Bei Dou." means that the Big Dipper determines the length of time. If the Big Dipper draws a stroke, everything will be empty. Therefore, the ancients worshipped Beidouxing , which was actually praying for longevity, commonly known as " Guandu ".
For example, Zhuge Liang Wuzhangyuan poses "Beidou" to prolong life, that is, the seven stars of the Big Dipper are in the middle, and the twenty-eight constellations surround the surroundings. If the main light does not go out within seven days, it will prolong life for one century. But in the end, the lights went out due to the entry of Wei Yan , and failed. It is because the Big Dipper controls time, while the Big Dipper controls everything in this process.
Nandou Six Star Lord are: Tianfu Siming Star Lord; Tianxiang Silu Star Lord; Tianliang Yanshou Star Lord; Tiantong Yishu Shiwei Star Lord; Tianji Star Lord; Tianji Star Lord. Among them, Silu, Siming, Dufen Fu, and prolong life all represent the glory and wealth in this process, that is, "Fu Lu, and Shou", etc. Therefore, the Beidou draws a single stroke, and it ends here. The Nandou draws a single stroke, and wealth will prolong life.
So people pray for blessings and longevity, etc., worship the six stars of the Nandou, so the Nandou is also called the "Tian Temple". " Tian Official Book " says: "Nan Dou is a temple, and the title and salary of Nan Dou, and its six stars are in Yue." means that the six stars of Nandou are the Temple of Heaven, and the place where they are divided is Yuedi , which is the star lord in charge of fortune and fortune.
"Three Doses" are: praying for blessings, prolonging life, praying for children, and seeking wealth
Today, the moon enters the Nandou, which is the Christmas of the City God, so you should worship the six stars of the Nandou to pray for blessings, wealth or extend your life.As the saying goes: "A single stroke of the Nandou can live ninety-nine", originated from the story of " Guange " during the Three Kingdoms period. If the Beidou scores a stroke, it will be completely over, so there has been a custom of "worship and fighting" since ancient times.
Among them, the Seven Constellations of Beidou are their destination, Zima belongs to Ganlang , Chou and Hai belongs to Jumen , Yin and Xu belongs to Lu Cun, Mao and You belongs to Wenqu Star, Chen and Shen belongs to Lianzhen Star , Si and Wei belongs to Wuqu Star , Wu and Horse belongs to Pojun Star . These seven stars are the Big Dipper. According to legend, Peng Zu was originally named Peng Xiu. Because the Big Dipper was the seven stars who lived for their lives, they eventually lived to be over 800 years old and were called Peng Zu.
But no matter how long you live, you are always poor and sick in the process. All this depends on the six stars of Nandou, so you should worship Nandou. So Beidou determines the end time, while Nandou determines the happiness and sorrow in this process. Nandou can extend the time of this process, and Beidou is the final end.
Today is the of the month of Wu , which is also the Christmas of the City God. The original meaning of "Si" is a baby, so Si day is also the day of ancient people praying for their children. For example, Shangsi Festival is actually a festival for praying for children, so you can pray for children today. Since the six stars of Nandou are in charge of blessing, wealth and longevity, and the moon enters the Nandou, it will definitely suppress blessing, wealth and longevity, and the division of the Nandou is in the more land, so the more you should pay more attention to, that is, Guangdong, Fujian, and wait.
However, there is no way out for heaven. If the moon enters the Nandou, there will be a paralysis. Therefore, the Jingfang said: "The moon enters the Nandou with Zi Chou Shen, and there will be pardons on the next 182 days, and there will be no remaining prisoners." Chen Zhuo also said: "The moon enters Nandoukui, and the world is amnesty." "Huangdi Zhan" says: "The month is October to April, and the world is amnesty. The nearest period is 60 days, the middle period is June, and the long term is one year. Those who enter Nandoukou three times a year will be pardoned every year." Today's "moon enters the southern divine", tomorrow's Jiawu is the first day of pardon this summer, which shows that there is no way out for heaven.
"Three Don't Do" are: Don't Travel, Don't Marry, Don't Quarrel
Today is Guisi Day in the month of Wu, Wu is Zhongyue in summer, and Si Day in Zhongyue is "Red Sha Day". As the saying goes: "When you go, you will definitely not return home; when you get married, you will get married, and a daughter will marry three families; when you get a house, you will burn your family after a hundred days." Si is a place where fire is strong, its image is Qian, which is the position of the yang. in yang is , which is day . When fire is strong, it is "melting gold", and "gold" means wealth.
So Peng Zu said: "Do not travel far on Si day, wealth and property are hidden." Similarly, "Si" is also a road, but it is bent and obstructed, and its pronunciation is the same as "death", so Si day does not travel far. Gui water ranks last in the heavenly stems, and is at the end of the heavenly stems, and it will never be repeated afterwards. Therefore, it is said that "Gui does not make any lawsuits" means that you do not argue with others, you will lose your mistakes and will not win the argument.
And the day of Guisi in Wu month is itself a day of marriage and separation, and it is also a day of red sand, so don’t travel far away, don’t marry, don’t quarrel, especially don’t quarrel with your family, such as between husband and wife. If the fire is strong, the heart fire is strong and it is easy to lose your temper. You must learn to be tolerant and tolerant.
