What is a spell, an encyclopedia of spell knowledge

Taoist spells and spells originated from the wishes of ancient witches. Taoist incantations were very popular in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and they were also closely related to symbols. When drawing symbols, you should recite spells, and when using symbols, there are spells. All methods have certain spells. Spells become the sincere and heartfelt voice of the caster, thus ensuring the effectiveness of all spells. When praying, spells are words that praise the gods and pray for their wishes; When treating diseases, spells are words that need spells to work and make all diseases disappear. When practicing, spells are mostly used to calm nerves, calm the mind and ask the gods for help. At the end of every sentence of Taoist incantations, there is generally a sentence "urgent as a law". In the Song Dynasty, Zhao Yanwei explained in "The Cloud of Banknotes at the Foothills": "It's as urgent as law, and Chinese officials turn to common sayings, so it is today. Therefore, the Han people in Zhang Tianshi inherited it, and Taoism got the narrative of the ancestors. " . This shows that this word was handed down by Zhang Tianshi in Han Dynasty, which means that it is effective when it is used.

In the eyes of Taoist priests and alchemists, symbols are the secret magic weapon to communicate between man and god, and you can't just scribble. Therefore, there are "painting symbols that don't understand anything, but make ghosts and gods laugh;" If you can draw, you will be shocked by ghosts and gods. There are hundreds of scribbling methods. Some of them want to think of God's articles, and some of them want to recite incantations step by step ... They are elegant in laying paper, grinding ink and raising pens, with complicated procedures and complicated methods, and good men and women are confused.

abstract

The ancient monks in China believed that magic was the basis of the five skills of mountain, medicine, divination, fate and physiognomy, and it was the medium and channel for the monks to talk with heaven (spiritual world). Through this channel, the nine-day immortals can be used by us, and the immortals can be used to exorcise ghosts, so as to pray for disaster, get rid of diseases and save lives.

The incantation consists of five elements: Fu Tou, Buddha, abdomen, foot and Fu Dan. If the operator is taken as a metaphor, Fu Tou is like a person's head; Being in charge of Buddha is like a person's mind and heart; The abdomen is like the stomach of the abdomen, where we write spells; An operator's foot is like a human foot; Courage is like a person's courage. If an operator doesn't have the courage of an operator, it's like a door without a lock.

Bad guys can enter at will. Therefore, character bravery plays an important role in character order.

Fu Tou

First of all, there have been many schools of magic since ancient times, but each school worships its founder, which is different, so Fu Tou's code is also different. For example, the common "three hooks" on many symbols are symbols representing Sanqing (Jade Qing Yuan Shi Tian Zun, Qing Qing Lingbao Tian Zun, Tai Qing Moral Tian Zun) or Sanjie Palace (city god, land, founder). The three hooks on the whole symbol represent Sanqing, and the hooks in the name of the imperial edict and God represent the three realms. When writing this "three hooks" in the next book, you should silently recite the mantra: "One move moves the world; Two ancestral swords; Three strokes move thousands of miles. " Every stroke should be just right, which is called "stepping on Fu Tou".

"Fu Tou" also has laws, Lei Ling ... and so on. There are many kinds of Fu Tou, which vary from sect to sect. Generally speaking, people ask God to send troops and send troops, and many books take "decrees" as Fu Tou. If there are no symbols of "three hooks" and "three clean-ups", it must be cursed: "the sky is round and the place is nine chapters. I am writing today, and all the ghosts are hiding. " Do it.

Fudan

Second, Fu Dan is the soul and master of Fuling. Whether a Fu can give full play to its efficacy depends to a great extent on whether it is guarded by Fu Dan.

Calligraphy symbols are generally called brave in entering symbols, which means that ancestors (gods) are required to sit in this symbol order and guard the portal of this symbol.

Common words are "Gang", "Jing" and "Ma", and the word "Hua" is too numerous to mention. But what is courage? The character gallbladder is made up of some secret characters.

Fujiao

Third, the "cross foot" is used to end the character gallbladder and the writing process of a character. It also has an extremely important position.

(Note: Langmei Symbol Method: The three hooks on the top of the symbol indicate "Samadhi True Fire")

Emblem ceremony

First, the procedure of graffiti ceremony.

There is a certain procedure for doodling, and it must not be simple or upside down.

Generally speaking, all calligraphers should set up altars to worship (especially for Taoist priests), which is called "total altar style". The general incantations in the Tanjing are written by the gods that Taoist priests usually believe in-the land, the city god, Di Qing in the east, Chi Di in the south, Bai Di in the west, Hei Di in the north, General Suzaku, General Xuanwu, General Hei Hei Zi and so on, such as the general incantations in the Total Altar Map set by ancient Dunhuang Taoist priests.

Taoist priests will also build altars and two seals of the Emperor of Heaven. These two seals are carved on the altar, both on the front and back.

There are also those who do not set up a "total altar style" or build an altar, such as "inviting immortals to dustpan". When you invite the dustpan fairy, put three plates of fruit, three cups of tea and three cups of wine in the shrine of the main hall … or put them in a temporary place outside the house, which is equivalent to a table.

Before drawing symbols, you should clean your mind-concentrate, be sincere, get rid of distractions, concentrate, clean your body, clean your face, clean your hands, rinse your mouth, and prepare sacrifices such as fruit, rice wine and incense sticks, as well as pen and ink, cinnabar and yellow paper. For these items, the Taoist first used magic spells to make them have great power.

(1) Pen Curse: In the fifth year, Thor will burn the light of Warner, and throughout his life, he will bind ghosts and hide evil souls, and all life and death will destroy Tao. I am as urgent as the law.

(2) Water curse: This water is extraordinary. It's a bit like the water in the north. It takes a while for the patient to swallow all the diseases. To ward off evil spirits is like smashing.

Fourth, the time taboo of painting symbols The Dragon Boat Festival is an auspicious day for painting symbols and creating symbols, and most of them are held on this day. This is especially true when painting the Dragon Boat Festival exorcism map.

You can't scribble symbols for four days in a year. If you scribble symbols in these four days; It is not only ineffective, but also harmful. These four days are the ninth day of March, the second day of June, the sixth day of September and the second day of December in the lunar calendar.

It is best to choose Zishi or Shihai as a sign. It is said that at this time, yang disappears and yin is long, and the gas field is the heaviest, followed by noon, noon and unitary time.

Four suggestions

Spells usually have four main forms of expression, which are the so-called four tips:

Fu: It is calligraphy fu, which represents the official documents and laws of the spiritual world.

Curse: It is a spell, which represents the code and chanting order of the spiritual world and plays a role in persuading ghosts and gods.

Seal: it is a handprint, representing the authority and seal of the spiritual world.

Fighting: It is a kind of step fighting, which is divided into five elements, seven stars, eight diagrams and other different steps, representing the power of different functions.

Magic is actually a kind of cultivation of thought, which strengthens people's spiritual strength through a fixed carrier, thus playing a corresponding role.

(In The Adventures of Jackie Chan, the spell has different functions and was changed to the zodiac. )
