Fan Waijuan, where should we go? Five, the taboo of crazy superstition!

Five, the taboo of crazy superstition! In addition to heavy armor beating aristocratic clothing, aristocratic cosmetics with toxic effects, and absolutely unhealthy aristocratic diet, heian period's boring aristocrats still seem to be too masochistic, so they invented all kinds of dazzling taboo superstitions-the complexity of their contents, and if we strictly abide by them, I'm afraid it will be enough to make us modern people crazy. Heian period's Japan was mild and peaceful on the surface, but the imperial court was still full of dirty power struggles. Due to heavy exploitation, the bottom people live in extreme pain and always feel that there is no hope. There are also many depressed and pessimistic people among the nobles, who are quite confused about the future. This overall listlessness eventually led to the prevalence of superstitious activities and the rampant theory of ghosts and gods. At that time, in the cognition of Japanese officials, all kinds of legendary monsters did not live in distant forests, islands and valleys, but lived with human beings in this capital, even under the same roof. These demons often cause trouble and bring endless fear and pain to mankind. Humans move during the day, while ghosts haunt at night. Sometimes they pass by in groups on the streets of Beijing. This supernatural phenomenon is the famous "nocturnal ghost". It is said that people who happen to witness this scene will be cursed and die! Because heian period's intellectuals are so developed in associative ability, they just imagine the capital where they live as a terrible cave full of monsters. Therefore, those officials and nobles who are less courageous than rabbits just scare themselves in various ways and feel that there are dangers everywhere, so they must find professionals to find ways to keep them safe. Therefore, the Y and N teacher groups represented by Abe Harumi came into being in Kyoto, heian period. The peaceful period, which lasted for four centuries, became the most active stage for teachers Y and N Yang, and even many government affairs depended on the opinions of teachers Y and N Yang. To tell the truth, no matter how many mysterious veils the later literary works put on the legendary teacher Y and N Yang, such as Harumi Abe, heian period's Japanese teacher Y and N Yang's means of exorcism is not much different from our Shen Han witch in rural China. It's nothing more than hanging my hair, whispering mysterious spells and dancing weird dances, then waving swords and bows in the air a few times, sprinkling a few handfuls of salt or beans outside the door (a custom that has been passed down until now), posting a few runes, and finally telling you that the ghost has been driven away, so pay quickly! —— Pay attention to the fact that teacher Y and N Yang in peacetime usually uses "no killing" as an excuse to only exorcise ghosts and not destroy them on the spot. As a result, the aristocratic family had just settled down for a few days, and soon paranormal happened again. Ask Shi Yang y and n, and he is told that "the ghost came back last time". So, the poor noble master had to gnash his teeth and take out a large sum of money, asking teacher Y and N Yang to do another ceremony and drive away evil again, so on and on ... I have to say that teachers Y and N Yang of that era were very economical and knew the truth of long-term flow. Just as the hospital now wants patients to recover immediately, it wants patients to survive and save money every day. However, the level of fools in Y and N Shi Yang is obviously higher, which just makes the whole Kyoto a magic cave, so that you rich people or officials can live in the shadow of ghosts all your life, be afraid, and regard yourself as the only savior ... Well, from this perspective, nobles or officials in heian period are short-lived, which seems to have some psychological factors in it ...-In heian period, absolutely. They not only choose the lining to choose their location when they go out for business, but also have corresponding taboos on trivial matters such as getting up, washing order and dinner food. Once there is a disease disaster at home, it is considered a ghost, and teachers Y and N Yang must be invited to exorcise evil spirits and eliminate disasters. As for weddings and funerals, moving to new homes and other major events, it is necessary to repeatedly predict bad luck and investigate Feng Shui. By the end of each year, your noble taboo calendar will be changed to a new year. Naturally, you should also pay the next fee to Y and N Shi Yang ... just like modern charging software, it needs to be updated and upgraded every year. (Of course, there are also some people who are determined not to believe in evil spirits, are not afraid of ghosts, and do not ask Shi Yang for help, but this is only a minority. In this way, because everyone has his own calendar, what everyone fears and what he needs to avoid is different and changes every year. However, this taboo calendar is absolutely private, and officials rarely circulate and communicate with each other unless they are best friends. It's really not easy to know in a roundabout way ... The so-called "Ji Fang" means staying at home, not receiving guests, and only praying for forgiveness and blessing from the gods ... As for whether he is really praying, only he knows. In later cartoons and novels about heian period, this neurotic taboo custom evolved into an easy way to be absent from work: in cartoons, an official was often seen sitting on an ox cart with a sad face, and suddenly he heard the driver report that "my Lord, a dead cat/dog was found in front of him". The official immediately smiled and ordered him to turn around and go back to the office-he could finally stop going to work! -In the concept of Heian period, if an official deliberately avoids the reform of political struggle, or feels too tired to be lazy at home, or even the grape trellis at home falls down in an attempt to escape from his fierce wife (in the aristocratic society of Japan in the early Heian period, the wife visiting system was still implemented, and the husband and wife were separated, and the wife generally lived in the mother's house, which was considered by scholars as "the remnants of matriarchal society"), they could all pass. The shortest duration is Ri, and the longest duration is 45 days. In short, in heian period, "Ji Fang" and "long vacation" should belong to the same category. If you say you have a holiday, you will have a holiday. A holiday is one and a half months. Such a laid-back working environment naturally envies modern civil servants. But the problem is, if you have something to ask an official to stamp and post, but you know that he has no substitute in Ji Fang, but your position is not high enough to drag him out of the house to do things for you, then you have to wait endlessly day after day. In fact, in Japan and the imperial court in Heian period, because all officials lacked the concept of time and liked to give themselves holidays, their work efficiency was horribly low, and often a small matter could drag on for several years. Once, an emissary of the Song Dynasty crossed the ocean and boarded Kyushu Island. He presented his credentials to the Kyoto court and asked when he would get an answer so that they could prepare to return to China. As a result, the local officials of Kyushu Island told them: Dear guests of Song State, please wait patiently! Your majesty's reply to last year's letter from the messenger of the song dynasty has not been written yet! (The last messengers naturally left without waiting to get the book back. )
