What is Tai Sui?

Tai sui is a astrology created in the era of the yellow emperor, also known as "Zhao Ji" At the age of 60, it takes the branch chronology of 60 Jiazi as its running cycle.

The so-called Tai Sui, originally the honorific title of Taoist gods, is the leader of gods and evil spirits corresponding to heaven and earth. In numerology, it refers to the rotation of sixty flowers, which takes charge of luck every year. Once every 60 years, it has the supreme status in the duty year.

For example, Jiazi is too old, that is, Jiazi is on duty at 1984, Jiazi is too old, and the other five elements are inviolable, otherwise there will be disaster. As the old saying goes, "When you are old, you should be strong, take the military power and decide life and death." There is another cloud: "In old age, there is no blessing but a curse." And so on.

In the folk, "Tai Sui" has always been regarded as a mysterious force, which can dominate and influence people's fate in the dark (in fact, Tai Sui is Jupiter in the sky, and Jupiter runs every twelve months).

In fact, "Tai Sui" is actually a celestial body assumed by the ancients. It is recorded in Compendium of Materia Medica that Tai Sui is a single-celled organism, which looks like a mass of meat, grows in moist soil and can be eaten and used as medicine.

The origin of worshipping Tai Sui:

Since ancient times, it is generally believed that people who commit tai sui will have a hard time, everything will go wrong, their careers will be difficult, and they will be ill. Therefore, people who "commit Tai Sui" usually come to the temple at the beginning of each year to "worship Tai Sui" and participate in Taoist ceremonies (Dojo).

Communicate with the gods through special ceremonies such as chanting, fighting, going to the table, petitioning, etc., and the gods will bless the believers who attend the ceremony (Dojo) and get the induction and blessing of the gods ("the core monument of life is too old" and "Dai Nian is too old"), thus achieving family peace, good health and successful career for one year.
