What is magic? Encyclopedia of magic knowledge.

Taoist spells and spells originated from the wishes of ancient witches. Taoist incantations were popular in the Eastern Han Dynasty and were also closely related to symbols. When drawing symbols, you should recite spells, and when using symbols, you should also have 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 all diseases disappear. In practice, magic is often used to soothe the nerves, settle the mind and pray for God. At the end of every sentence of Taoist incantations, there is generally a sentence "urgent as a law". In Song Dynasty, Zhao Yanwei explained in "People's Banknotes on the Clouds at the Foothills": "It's as urgent as a law, and it's as if Chinese officials turned to colloquialism today. Therefore, the Han people in Zhang Tianshi inherited it, and Taoism got the narrative of the ancestors. " . It shows that this word was handed down from Zhang Tianshi in the Han Dynasty, which means it is effective to use.

In the eyes of Taoist priests and alchemists, symbols are the secret magic weapon to communicate between man and god, and can't be scribbled casually. 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 ways to scribble, some are articles about immortals, some are about reciting spells step by step ... They are very elegant in spreading paper, researching ink and writing pens, with complicated procedures and methods, which make good men and women dizzy.

abstract

The ancient monks in China believed that magic, as the basis of the five skills of mountain, medicine, divination, fate and physiognomy, was the medium and channel for the dialogue between monks and heaven (spiritual world). Through this channel, the nine gods can be used by us, and the gods can be used to exorcise ghosts, thus achieving the purpose of praying for blessings, eliminating disasters, treating diseases and saving lives.

The spell consists of five elements: Fu Tou, Becoming a Buddha, Fu Abdomen, Fu Foot and Fu Dan. If operators are used as metaphors, Fu Tou is like a human head; Being in charge of Buddha is like a person's mind and heart; Lying on the belly is like a belly stomach, 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 guts, it's like the door is unlocked.

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

Fu Tou

First, there have been many factions of magic since ancient times, but each faction 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, Shangqing Lingbao Tian Zun, Taiqing Moral Tian Zun) or Sanjie Palace (City God, Land, Founder). The three hooks represent the three clean-ups on the whole symbol, and the letters and the names of the gods 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 go thousands of miles away. " Every word should be just right, which is called "stepping on Fu Tou".

"Fu Tou" also has imperial edicts, Lei Ling ... and so on. Like Fu Tou, there are many kinds, which vary from sect to sect. Most people ask God to dispatch troops, and many books regard "imperial edicts" as Fu Tou. If there is no symbol of "three hooks" and "three cleanness", it must be cursed: "Nine chapters in a round place. Today I am writing, and all the ghosts are hiding. " Do it.

Fudan

Second, Fu Dan is the soul of A Fu Ling and the master of A Fu Ling. Whether Afu can give full play to its efficacy depends largely on whether it is guarded by Fu Dan.

Calligraphy symbols are generally called entering the symbol, which means asking ancestors (gods) 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 word gallbladder is made up of some secret words.

Fujiao

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

(Note: Langmei Fu Method: Fu Ding San Gou, meaning "Samadhi True Fire")

Emblem ceremony

First, the procedure of graffiti ceremony.

There is a certain procedure for doodling, which must not be simple or reversed.

Generally speaking, all calligraphers should set up an altar to pay homage (especially to Taoist priests), which is called "total altar style". The general mantras in the altar are written about the gods that Taoist priests usually believe in-land, 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 total curse in the total altar map set by the Taoist priest in Dunhuang in ancient times.

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

There are also those who do not have a "total altar style" or build an altar, such as "inviting immortals to dustpan". When the fairy dustpan is invited, three plates of fruit, three cups of tea and three cups of wine are used for the shrine of the main hall … or for temporary storage outside the house, which is equivalent to a table.

Before drawing symbols, you should clean your heart-concentrate and be sincere, eliminate distractions, concentrate, cleanse yourself, wash your face, wash your hands and gargle, 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 used a spell first, which made them have great power.

(1) Pen Curse: In the fifth year, Raytheon will burn the light of Warner, and for the rest of his life, he will bind ghosts and hide evil, and all life and death will be destroyed. 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 a sick person 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 four days a year. If you scribble symbols in these four days; Not only does it not work, but it is 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 purple stone or stone sea as a symbol. It is said that at this time, the yang disappears and the yin is long, and the gas field is the heaviest, followed by noon, noon and unitary time.

Four suggestions

Spells generally have four main forms of expression, the so-called four strokes:

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

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

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

Fight: it is a step fight, which is divided into five elements, seven stars, eight diagrams and other different steps, representing different forces.

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

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