There are always some relationships that must be treated with care. What exactly is Tai Sui? When did the saying about Tai Sui begin to spread? What do people think Tai Sui is?

The ancients believed in astrology, and Jupiter was called a "lucky star" or a "long-lived star", which entrusted the good wishes of wealth, peace and good luck in the world. In different areas corresponding to Jupiter's movement, there will be "Tai Sui", which is equivalent to the incarnation of Jupiter on the ground.

Due to the low level of productivity in the past, people are full of fear of this "rare" and "angel of God", fearing that offending it would be a disaster from heaven. In fact, as early as the Dayu era, Tai Sui was recorded in Shan Hai Jing.

In addition to the records in ancient books, news that Tai Sui was discovered often came out after the founding of New China. In 2005, CCTV also made a special report on the discovery of Tai Sui. In fact, Tai Sui is a large compound fungus, because it is a kind of paleontology between animals and plants, so it is difficult to classify it into a specific category. Not only does it have no magical power, it is also a guy who can't protect himself. In Ming Dynasty, Li Mingzhen classified it as "vegetable" in Compendium of Materia Medica.

Having said that, the research on Tai sui has never stopped, and scientists hope to classify Tai sui into a specific biological category as soon as possible.

Tai sui, formerly the honorific title of Taoist gods, is the leader of the gods and demons corresponding to heaven and earth. Later, it was quoted as "the theory of ghosts and gods" to infer the fortune of human beings. As the old saying goes, at the age of twenty, he took military power.

"Field of Life and Death" has another cloud: "When you are in your traditional era, if you are unhappy, there will be disaster. Or the cloud: "anti-yin, tears are zero." . "and so on. Time is too old?

Time flies, which means constant change every year.

Time is too old, a total of 60 people, ten days of work and twelve places of support. They have their own names and endless time series, so they are also called "messengers of time".

The fleeting time is too old, and it is a good or bad year for a gentleman to manage people. As the old saying goes, "Tai Sui is like a king, the head of the gods and the master of all evils, and he is like the king of the world, so don't offend him. In 2002, in the Year of the Horse, there were four zodiac criminals: Tai sui Ma Ren-Punishment, Rat Man-Punishment Rabbit-Punishment, and Niu Ren-Punishment "Punishment": meaning criminal law and criminal injury; Conflict and punishment, also known as Yin Fu. "?" : Really? Strike and confrontation; At war? , also known as anti-yin. "Broken": indicates damage or breakage. "Harm": there are disagreements and differences.

Those who commit crimes, rush, break and harm are all influenced by the old times, which will lead to official disputes, career obstacles, investment failures, emotional fluctuations, personnel discord, emotional separation, and even serious incidents of accidental bloodshed.

In addition, during the Renwu period, the surname of Tai Sui was Lu Mingming. If someone calls, the surname is Lu or Mingming; You must pay attention to breaking the taboo of traditional names. Resolve the fierce power of Tai Sui. You can worship tai sui as a blessing in order to avoid disaster. You can also get the "Hua Tai Sui Mantra" to protect your health.

There is an old saying in China that "breaking traditional ideas" is a cultural taboo. People used to think that not believing in this taboo would really lead to disaster. It is recorded in Youyang Miscellaneous Notes in the Tang Dynasty that there was a man named Simomo who "dug a hole in the head of Tai Zi, saw a piece of meat as big as an ox, squirmed it and filled it up, and its meat grew up with the filler. Fear and abandon it. After staying for a long time, I was stuck in court. The maid of the Feng brothers learned the news of his sudden death within a few days, and only one woman stayed. "

Guang Yi Ji also said: Huang Liang is not afraid of ghosts. Every year, people try to dig the head of Tai Sui. Once I dug up a piece of meat, whipped it hundreds of times and threw it on the road. That night, I saw a god riding a horse to mourn the meat and asked, "Brother Tai Sui, why don't you take revenge for being humiliated by him?" The answer is: I can't help it. "Tai Sui" disappeared after dawn.

In China, "Tai Sui" has always been regarded as a mysterious force, a force that can dominate and influence people's destiny in the dark. It's gone. It's everywhere. In fact, "Tai Sui" is actually a celestial body assumed by the ancients. As a concrete creature, "Tai Sui" is real.

There are detailed records in Shan Hai Jing, Compendium of Materia Medica and other ancient books, which are called "meat", "according to meat", "local meat", "gathering meat" and "sealing". In China's myth history book Shan Hai Jing, there is a record about "meat": "Gathering meat has eyes but no stomach, quite like Pimal. It is endless and cannibalism is thin. " Guo Pu, a famous scholar in Jin Dynasty, explained "seeing meat" when commenting on Shan Hai Jing: "Gathering meat, like beef liver, has two eyes. The food is endless, as good as ever. "

Yu Shinan, a famous scholar in the Tang Dynasty, also recorded "local meat" in Bei Tang Shuchao, and his historical materials were copied in the Records of Foreign Objects in Linhai. The article said: "The soil is as black as a child, the arm is five inches long, there is a belly in the middle, there is no mouth, and it is three-thirds full, which is as big as a hairpin, making it delicious."

In Compendium of Materia Medica, Li Shizhen, a famous doctor in the Ming Dynasty, classified "meat" as "meat" and called it "the top grade of this classic", and divided it into five categories, among which the description of "meat" is: "meat is like meat. Red people are like coral, white people are like cutting fat, black people are like paint, and yellow people are like Zijin. " At the same time, in the category of "red" in Compendium of Materia Medica, several prescriptions mainly containing "red" are listed, which shows that "red" has special curative effect on some difficult diseases, and its common characteristics are: "long-term eating, light weight, not getting old, prolonging life."

According to experts in microbiology of Jilin University, the so-called "Tai Sui" is a kind of myxobacteria between protozoa and fungi, which lives in soil and has strong vitality. This is a very rare large myxobacteria complex in nature. This "Tai Sui" found in Shuanghetun, Yunfeng Village, Jiapigou, Huadian, Jilin Province has been preserved in cartons for more than half a year, and there is still no decay, moth-eaten or deterioration. It's still fresh, without any peculiar smell. In this regard, experts said that it is actually a mixture of living organisms and low-level fungi, and it cannot be simply equated with the "meat" recorded in ancient books such as Compendium of Materia Medica. This newspaper visited the southern mountainous area with "Tai Sui" today? ",reported an unknown creature found in Zhongge Old Village, Xiying Town, which aroused the interest of many citizens, and everyone had different opinions. The reporter asked Professor Lu Haoquan, a biology expert from Shandong University, for verification on relevant issues. Professor Lu has been exposed to and studied such things before. Professor Lu told reporters that what people call "too old" is probably a mixture of slime molds, fungi and bacteria. There are more in the south than in the north, but wherever it is, it will appear as long as the environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity are suitable. There was a heavy rainfall this year, and it is not unusual for this kind of thing to appear in a mountain village in the southern mountainous area. For the local people's saying that "Tai Sui" can make a frog-like cry, Professor Lu said that it may be the sound of trapped air in the bee colony. When people step on it with their feet, the air is squeezed out. In addition, because the flora is also a living body, it is normal to metabolize with the surrounding environment. When the environmental conditions change and are not suitable for the growth of flora, it will slowly decay and disintegrate. Professor Lu also said that the practical value of this flora is not great, and it cannot be completely equivalent to the records in ancient books such as Compendium of Materia Medica.

On the afternoon of May 30, 2002, at the foot of Changbai Mountain, at the corner of the second Songhua River in Shuanghetun, Yunfeng Village, Jiapigou Town, huadian city, Jilin Province, a great event happened in a small mountain village that almost no one paid attention to-"Tai Sui" was tied up and carried into the village from the mountain 50 miles away.

This tai sui was discovered by villagers when they went into the mountains to herd cattle. Tai sui is the most famous demon in Chinese folk beliefs. Almost everyone knows the phrase "put your feet in the lion's den", which means that putting your feet in the lion's den is inviolable, otherwise it will be a disaster. The world also says that those fierce "stubble" are too old. So what exactly is this troublesome tai sui?

According to China Folk Dictionary, Tai Sui is the god of age. "Tai sui is the god system, commonly known as the son of heaven." The traditional image of Tai Sui is the evil image of wearing a purple and gold crown, wearing a military uniform and holding a square painting halberd. The essence of Taisui Yue is the hypothetical age star in astronomy, which is a bit funny. Its function is rather vague. Some people call it Jupiter, some people call it the god of the four seasons, some people say it is the god of the twelve immortals, and some people say it is the moon god. In a word, it is closely related to the star of the year.

China's traditional folk beliefs are mainly expressed in the form of taboo. Migration, marriage and building a house all depend on the position of Tai Sui. If it is in front of the traditional position, everything will stop.

Tai sui, bought by Han Zenglu, a villager, appeared in the deep mountains of Shuanghetun, shedding the mystery of folklore. From the image point of view, it is too ordinary. Two big meat pies, connected in a figure of eight in the middle, like two lung lobes. At first glance, it looks like two piles of scattered cow dung. No one will associate them with Tai Sui. Tai Sui is full of rich folklore, so that when people are scrambling to see Tai Sui's face in the yard, some ignorant chickens jump on Tai Sui, bounce off the thick humus and look for grass seeds to eat.

In other words, this image is extremely ordinary, letting people point and throw things around. For more than a month, many mysteries have been set in this small mountain village.

Is it an animal or a plant? What makes it 1.4m long, 17cm thick and 52.5kg heavy? If it is an animal, can it run and how? Is it alive or not? Pull open the "elastic armor" of Tai Sui like humus and fish scales, and we can see Tai Sui in a place of only one or two square meters. The color of its meat is not consistent. Generally speaking, the fuller the place, the more orange, mainly concentrated at the intersection of the eight characters. At the tail of the two characters, the meat is gray or bluish white. This kind of meat is hidden in the "bullet armor" and is not easy to obtain. Some people try to cut off some "bullet armor" and put it in their mouths to taste, which is tasteless. Someone got a piece and made wine with Kanto ginseng. No smell.

It is suggested that knowledgeable natural and social scientists should devote themselves to the study of Tai Sui, such as establishing Tai Sui Museum, opposing superstition and advocating science through the study of Tai Sui genes and uses, and creating an era in which human beings use modern science and technology to live in harmony with nature.
