Are Du Ji and Luo Hou evil spirits in the ancient legends of China?

Indian astrological terms. In Indian astronomy, the downward intersection of the ecliptic and the ecliptic is called Lahu, and the upward intersection is Ketu, which, together with the sun, moon, water, fire, wood, gold and earth, is called Jiuyi. Because the eclipse occurs near the intersection of the ecliptic and the ecliptic, it is also regarded as a god of food (eclipse).

According to Indian astrology, Luo Ru, Du Ji and Qiyao can dominate the fate of the world. In the Tang Dynasty, an Indian named Qutan Sida introduced the Indian calendar to China, which was called the "Nine-year Calendar". Nine-year calendar is synonymous with nine obsidians.

According to the above explanation, purple gas and the moon are not among the nine shades. According to the written understanding, purple gas refers to auspicious gas. The moon is a comet, but I don't know what the moon means. Probably belongs to the category of ancient astrology in China.

Du Ji and Luobian

A quote from Shula and Asura: "Lahu is a demon in ancient Indian mythology. According to legend, he is the son of Cynthia, the daughter of Yeti Wang Wei Porogi Ti and Dasha. He is also known as the king of planets and meteors, the patron saint of southwest China; He has four hands, and his lower body is a snake tail, so he is good at doing evil. When the gods and Asura stirred up a sea of milk, Luo Huan disguised himself and sneaked into the ranks of the gods to steal nectar. As a result, the sun god and the moon god discovered it and reported it to Vishnu. Vishnu immediately cut off Luo Huan's head and arm with a magic disk. However, because Luo has drunk manna, his head is immortal. In order to get revenge, he often devours the sun and the moon, resulting in an eclipse, which is the origin of the eclipse. Luo Wei is a dark star, and the dead body turns into a star (comet), both of which are ominous stars. " This is the concept of ancient Indian astrology: a star suddenly appeared in the night sky, which threatened everyone and was called the capital of rice. The star that robbed the sun and the moon and caused the eclipse was called Lolo.

In Buddhism, Du Ji's and Luo's arguments are somewhat similar to Indian mythology. In the book "Seven Obsidian Disaster Elimination Volume", he wrote: "Luo Wei stopped Luo Shi. Yellow banner. An eclipse head. A reply. A sun head. Often invisible. There is a solar eclipse every day. As soon as the sun shines, it will erode. Compared with the sun and the moon, it is also erosion. I would like to press the clouds of Tianzhu women. Han said that clouds, the sun and the moon are all the same. The moon covered the sun. The sky is as big as the sun. If the sun doesn't shine, it's darkness and emptiness. Dark and imaginary values of the moon and eclipse. Two is different. Today, according to Tianzhu calendar, we can discuss it through an excellent course. This is a disaster for this palace. Or the thing that needs to be hidden most. Often retrograde in the sky. There is no disease in the line. Du Ji intercepted a leopard tail from his division. The tail of the god of eclipse. A month. Moon leader. Often invisible. Going to this palace is a disaster. Or the thing that needs to be hidden most. Walking in the sky forever is not sick. "

Among them, the phrase "today is based on the Tianzhu calendar, so it should be" comes from Indian mythology. Luo Wei's "solar eclipse" and his plan are "often invisible", which is also in line with Indian astrology. In Buddhism, these two are also fierce stars. There are the mantra of these two stars in the Buddhist scriptures, but don't ask me how to pronounce it: "The mantra of the stars: Royale Saisu (two in one) Royale Saimo Shedu Ye Ye (name) Van Dijia Liye (two in one) He (name) Du Ji Star Yan array (Luo Wei wears jewelry, the sun and the moon are all beautifully dressed): Yi Riluo (Hull) Jidu (name) Begging for forgiveness (.

Astrology in China is much more formal than that in India. Today, the ancient "Du Ji" is called the north intersection or dragon head. The north intersection of the moon and the rising intersection is the intersection of the ecliptic and the moon's orbit around the earth. The northern node is usually considered as the place where Jupiter's positive characteristics play, so the house where the northern node falls on the astrolabe represents a field of strength and growth. In reincarnation astrology, the north intersection also represents the direction that individuals should strive to develop in this life. The figure of the north intersection on the astrolabe is a horseshoe-shaped symbol with the opening facing downwards. Today, the ancient "Luobian" is called the south intersection or Wei Long, the southern suburbs of the moon and descending node, which is the south intersection of the ecliptic and the moon's orbit around the earth. The south intersection has Saturn's characteristics, so the house where the south intersection appears in the astrolabe represents a limited or difficult field. In reincarnation astrology, the south intersection also represents the place where individuals are easy to escape and retreat in this life. The south intersection figure on the astrolabe is a horseshoe-shaped symbol with an upward opening.

In China's myths and legends, there are only a few "faces", and they are just two of the "nine ghosts". The nine Yao's are: Xing Jun, Huode, Mude, Taiyin, Tude, Luo (Rihou) Xing Jun, Sun Xingjun, Jin Dexing Jun, Shui Dexing Jun, The Journey to the West, and the Monkey King (the third new day? ), Tota Li Tianwang will fight, and Jiuyao ranks in 28 places, and its status is not high.

China's physiognomy also uses the concept of "Du Ji Luo", because physiognomy often associates the names of stars with the human body. Eyebrows are brothers' palaces, Luowei on the left and the capital on the right. There is harmony between the brothers. Fortunately, China didn't explicitly point out that they were evil stars, otherwise everyone would have taken to the streets with evil stars. The poem says: "Luo Wei needs to grow, and the old man eats the sky." Plans must be neat, and neat people have wives and children. "This is a good face. Do you fit in? In addition, there is a saying of "five stars and six splendors" in the Complete Works of the Condor Heroes. The poem says: "Luo Jixing is handsome and long, and it is clear that sticking to meat should be three yang. Zuo Luo is not only an official like this, but also famous in the distance. Luo Wei is thin and tall, impatient and fierce. Eyebrows are like weeping willows, and brothers and sisters have swaying hair. Right meter (missing) "

Finally, some gossip and other things are also called "Du Ji". Du Ji (Sanskrit Tuke) is a Buddhist temple (Sanskrit dhvaja, Pali dhaja, transliterated as Titorow, Titorow and Tuoshuo). ), also as a treasure building, a Japanese building and a French building. As one of the flags, it is used to worship Buddha, Bodhisattva and Dojo. It is different from the usual words' Zan' and' Zan' (Sanskrit pata^ka^, Paliwenpat! A^ka^), there is no difference; But there are differences according to the shape, that is, the barrel is a building and the long sheet is a flag. The translation of Nominal Collection means that pata^ka^ is translated into a flag and Tuco is translated into a building.

"The Great Sun Sutra" Volume 9 (June 39, 673):' If the Brahma clouds are bound, they will turn into buildings; Brahma cloud is the capital, and this one becomes a flag, which is slightly different. However, the buildings are solemn and colorful, and the floor plans are similar, but the flags are more dense, such as military paintings of turtles, dragons, birds and animals, which means that the three armies celebrate the festival together. "According to the theory of the Sun Sutra, if the piggy bank is the same as the capital in shape and size, but the connection between the capital and the military flag is emphasized, it means that just like the king or general puts the marks of various animals on the military flag, the users of buddhas and bodhisattvas attach pendants printed with the words representing buddhas and bodhisattvas. In addition, according to the Bali text translated by Hideo Takada of Japan, buildings and banners all mean military flags. It is said that kings and generals use military flags to command their troops to the enemy; And the Buddha used the building of wisdom to resist all the troubles of the magic army. As a symbol of destruction, it is regarded as a solemn instrument to praise Buddha, Bodhisattva and solemn Dojo.

This is not what we call a trick, but it doesn't hurt to know something.
