How to place immortal tablets and ancestral tablets?

Memorial tablets, also known as "God Lord", "God Lord Card" and "God Position". It is to write or carve the names of gods and ancestors on wooden boards, metal plates, cardboard, silk, walls and other objects to symbolize gods or ancestors and make sacrifices. In China's family, the traditional culture lasted for thousands of years, paying attention to the placement of gods and ancestors' memorial tablets. The way the deity is placed in the house is the embodiment of the traditional concept of respecting heaven and god and pursuing the distance with caution. Peace of mind has a great relationship with ancestral tablets, which can not only serve as the spiritual sustenance of the whole family, but also keep the family safe. According to the folk saying, the uneven memorial tablet of gods and ancestors may bring disaster. Today, Dr. Zheng discusses this problem simply and clearly from the perspective of psychology, for the reference of friends only. First, the general principle of calming nerves and ancestral tablets, we must pay attention to the perfect cooperation of weather, geography, people and these three aspects. The so-called timing is to carefully choose a good day to ascend the throne and ancestral tablets. The appropriate place is to choose an auspicious place in the house, or to be the auspicious place for the master to come to the gods and ancestors. Human harmony is to choose a god who has a sense of fate with you and ask a magical master to do a complete calming ceremony. Second, the specific method of calming the nerves (1), the method of calming the nerves: 1, first choose "Cary" or "Fu" according to the lunar calendar. Choose Italian annual seating, such as 20 12, which is Italian and western. Therefore, it is best to choose a seat facing east or west. If you have to choose another sitting direction for environmental reasons, then you should install a floating furnace, that is, put a porcelain plate under the incense burner first, and then take it away on an auspicious day next year. 2. Select the auspicious day, auspicious day and lucky day of the person in charge. You can't choose the person in charge and his wife to kill each other, three evils and three punishments, four kills with one blade of an arrow, or turn around and pay tribute to the sun. It's best to put the shrine in the center of the house, not too far in front or back. There should be a wall behind the throne, and it should be strong. In addition, the front of the shrine should be clear, not facing the corner, acute angle, telephone pole or other unclean items. The level of fragrance should be measured by Lu half a foot, and its auspicious characters should be positioned: take the head and tail of wealth with Lu half a foot, start from the ground and reach the height of auspicious characters. The distance from the cabinet to the opposite door is preferably twice the total height of the cabinet. In addition to auspicious characters, the length of the left and right walls of the cabinet should pay attention to "left dragon and right white tiger", and the right wall (tiger side) should not be too narrow to avoid "forcing the tiger to hurt people". Calm the walls with gold before calming the cabinets. 4, before calming the nerves, you must first load the furnace and wait for the arrival of the gods. (2), the big fear of calming the nerves: 1, it is best to put the idol on the cabinet or table. The cabinet must be placed in the direction of the sun, not behind the window or balcony. 2. Don't put the ark in a narrow space, and don't let God face the wall. The backrest of the cabinet must be firm, can't shake, can't often hit, and it's best to lean against the wall. 3. Don't put the cabinet against the door, bathroom door, kitchen door, back against the bed or toilet or kitchen, and don't put it in the bedroom. 4, cabinets can not be backed by the kitchen, nor can they be placed in the kitchen. Kitchen God is set in the nearest place to the kitchen. 5. The cabinet should not be backed by the toilet or placed in the toilet and bathroom. 6. The taboo of the ark of God is to lift it from the ground without roots and should not be placed on the gate. 7. The display of the god cabinet should be based on the principle of solemnity, conciseness and practicality, and sundries should not be placed casually. The front of the cabinet must be kept clean, and tea, fruits and flowers should be served diligently every day. Clean the shrine with clear water every day, and wipe the front of the shrine clean. Dr. Zheng specially reminded that there should be no beams at the top of the incense burner. The furnace position should be in line with the abdomen of the Buddha. If it is too low, it is advisable to wrap the longevity gold in red paper and put it under the furnace. Ancestor tablets can only be put after the idol, and cannot be reversed. Ancestor tablets cannot be higher than idols; The ancestral fireplace should not be higher than the Buddha's fireplace. If there are two ancestral tablets in the family, the main surname should be on the left and the deputy surname should be on the right, separated by a seven-inch red line. Don't put speculative things such as gold and copper in the ancestral furnace. There should be the incense position of God, Buddha and ancestors, not just the incense position of ancestors. Moreover, before the case of God, you can't put drugs, knives, filth and other disrespectful things. (3) How to install the furnace before calming the nerves? In order to wait for the arrival of the gods, the way to install the furnace is: (1) The incense burner is burned with Shoujin first. (2) After burning the spell, put it into the furnace. (3) Put three coins in a positive and negative form (or twelve coins, one positive and one negative in a circle) on the furnace bottom (4) and sprinkle incense ashes. (5) Blank the symbols on the furnace. (6) Light fifteen sticks of incense. (7) According to the installation time, aim at the position in the incense burner, move the needle on time, such as ugly son, ugly son and ugly son, and erect a column of incense respectively. If the furnace is installed in Shi Mao, twelve incense sticks will be erected one by one from the base. (8) For the other three sticks, the first stick stands in the center of the incense burner, the second stick stands on the right side of the first stick, and the third stick stands on the left side of the first stick. (9) Cross your hands and pray, and sincerely say: "The safe stove is good, the divine light shines, and the home is safe." (4) Specific procedures for calming the nerves (1) Draw a wall with seven pieces of gold to exorcise evil spirits, and read a spell to order it to be clean. (2) Put the magic lamp and candlestick away. (3) Offerings (three sacrifices, three bowls of glutinous rice balls, three cakes of steamed bread, three cups of five kinds of seasonal fruits, tea, wine, etc.). (4) Hold the idol and turn around the incense burner three times, whispering "Enter, be peaceful and calm, the town house is bright" and then locate the idol. (5) Put ancestral tablets, incense burners and magic lamps in order. (6) Light three incense sticks in the open air outside the door, recite the mantra and invite the Buddha to sit down. (7) Light three sticks of incense, and then insert incense on the incense burner. (8) Accompany the worshippers to burn incense and pray. (9) When the incense inserted into the incense burner burns one third, start toasting once, twice and three times. (10) Ask the gods for instructions, and then start burning four-color gold (Dashoujin, Shoujin and Fuhuijin in turn). (1 1) The priest and his followers made homage to the gods. (12) I paid homage to the land Lord in the kitchen that night (unless I entered the new house, I don't need to pay homage to the land Lord). (13) After calming the nerves, remember not to interrupt the incense for three days (you can continue it with incense rings). Third, the specific method of installing ancestral tablets (1) Writing ancestral tablets varies from place to place, which means that the number of words is particular, and not all words can be used. We need to close the ecliptic. There are big ecliptic and small ecliptic. 1, Dahuangdao: How long will it take to get to the road and when will you go back to your hometown (Dao, Yuan, Tong, Da, Yao, Huan) 2, Xiaohuangdao: the sick old (born and old) (2), Dr. Zheng's example: For example, our local area is Hehuang Island, and the number of words is circulated according to two poems of Dahuangdao, and then finally, then the last word. The correct number of words for "walking on the side" in the Great ecliptic can also be "one character, two characters, five characters, six characters, eight characters and eleven characters". If the number of words is longer than these two poems with the word 12, then the words corresponding to "walking the edge" should be circulated after the poems, such as the word 13 "The ancestor of X was in the Tang Dynasty". (3) The format of Huang Xiaodao and Huang Xiaodao's combination is that the word number cycle corresponds to the word "sheng", such as "six characters", and the sixth word in the cycle of "birth, sickness, death and pain" is the word "sheng", then the eleventh word in the cycle is also the word "sheng", such as "birth, sickness, death and pain", then eleven words. Dr. Zheng reminded that all localities should choose "big ecliptic" or "little ecliptic" according to their own customs, and the rules should be based on the number of words in the big and small eclipses. On both sides: Zuo Zhaoyou Mu's lucky boy covered the land where Bao lived, and the core monument of life flourished as a dragon god. (4) Divine couplets: Baoding Cheng rang Xiang Jie Caiyintai to report good news, candles gave birth to flowers, incense lasted for thousands of years, Kun lived for a long time, Ming Yan lived for a long time, and the country was kind. Liu Zishi, president of Gong Zu Normal University, is now Zechang, etc. The name and hall number are written on the banner. General banners include: Zude Liu Fang Wandai Rongchang Si 'en Hall Siyuan Hall, etc. (5) In which direction should the ancestral tablet be placed? Ancestor tablets should be consistent with the orientation of the house, and it is best to put them in the hall. (6) Is the ancestral memorial tablet better at home or in the temple? Generally speaking, monasteries are good, and monasteries have morning and evening classes every day. Ancestors can gain wisdom by listening to the classics, get out of the sea of life and death as soon as possible and go to the western paradise where Amitabha lived. We just need to observe whether the temple is really built or not, and whether it is a temple that integrates knowledge and practice. Ask the master, can I write the ancestral tablets together? (7) Do you still need to put the portrait of your ancestors next to the ancestral tablet at home? Dr. Zheng thinks it depends on the local feng shui, so do as the Romans do. (8) Can the portraits of ancestors be hung together with the photos of the living? 1, hanging together is absolutely impossible. Excessive Yin qi indicates disaster and death, and the living will lose their lives if they wear too much Yin qi. 2. The ancestors in a family can be understood as a family. If there is a god in the main hall (living room), the portrait of ancestors can be placed under the position of God, not higher than God. The photos of the living can't be put together with the portraits of the ancestors, because they can't be equal! Under special circumstances, in some places, if the photos of ancestors are not too old, they can be placed with the living. 4. It is best to hang photos of ancestors in the main hall, facing south, indicating the emperor's mind, adjacent to the Buddha. If conditions permit, it is best to build a shrine in the flat area of the south slope of the mountain with high terrain. There should be no obstacles in front of the shrine, and the land in front of the shrine should always be flat. Remember not to plant trees. Dr. Zheng specifically explained: 1. What Dr. Zheng said above is just general attention. Friends must combine local customs and habits. 2. Relieve one's nerves. Ancestor memorial tablet is very important, which can not only serve as spiritual sustenance for the whole family, but also keep the family safe. 3. In addition to calming the nerves and worshipping ancestral tablets, friends also need to make adjustments according to their own situation and the situation of the house, so as to dissolve the youthful spirit, so as to foster strengths and avoid weaknesses and prosper.
