The swastika is one of the thirty-two major phases of the Buddha. According to the Nagarjuna Sutra, it is the sixteenth Great Personality and is located on the Buddha's chest. Also in Volume 6 of the Sutra on the Sayings of the Great Sakyani Qianzi, it is said to be the eightieth good appearance of the Sakyamuni Buddha, located on the chest. In the twelfth volume of the Ten Grounds Sutra, it is said that when Sakyamuni Bodhisattva had not yet attained Buddhahood, he had the appearance of a vajra swastika of merit and majesty between his breasts. This is what is generally referred to as a phase of merit and virtue in the chest. However, in Volume 3 of the Fang Dang Dang Shuang Yen Sutra, it is said that there are also five swastikas in the Buddha's hair. In the 29th volume of the Arhat Vinaya Miscellany, it is said that the Buddha's waist also has a swastika. "The swastika is only a symbol, not a word. It is indicative of immense auspiciousness and is known as the Auspicious Sea Cloud, also known as the Auspicious Happiness Swirl. Therefore, in the 381st volume of the Mahaparinirvana Sutra, it is said that the Buddha's hands and feet and the front of his chest are marked with auspicious and joyful whirls to indicate the Buddha's merits.

The symbol of the swastika has a spin to the right - the swastika; and a spin to the left - the swastika. According to the twenty-first volume of the Hui-Lin Yin-Yi, the Hui-Ivana Yin-Yi, and the Avatamsaka Sutra, etc., there are seventeen places in the total **** where the swastika phase is said to be a rightward rotation. However, in the fan held by the statue of the Mālījītian shown in the tenth volume of the Dhārānī Jītā, the swastika-phase depicted is left-rotated - the swastika. There is also a swastika phase at the feet of the statue of Yakushi Buddha at Yakushi Temple in Nara, Japan, which is also left-rotated, but most accounts have it right-rotated. The earliest main gods in Hinduism, such as Vishnu and Krishna, had swastikas on their chests. In the ancient Indian legend, all the reincarnated kings who can rule the world have thirty-two major phases; Buddha is the king of the Dharma, so he also has thirty-two major phases, which is recorded in the Vajrayogini Sutra.

In recent times, there have been debates about right-handedness or left-handedness. Most people believe that right-handedness is right and left-handedness is wrong. Especially in the 1940s, Hitler, in Europe, also used the swastika phase as a symbol of his Nazism. Since then, there has been more debate, some saying that Hitler used right-handedness and Buddhism used left-handedness. In fact, in the Tang Dynasty, during the time of Empress Zetian Wu, a character was created, the swastika, pronounced as "wan", which means "good fortune and virtue", which is left-handedness; Hitler used the diagonal swastika, while Buddhism uses the square swastika. In Buddhism, the swastika is square. In Hinduism, the swastika is right-swirled to indicate a male deity and left-swirled to indicate a female deity. As for Tibetan Lamaism, they use right-handedness, and for Benjaminism (bon-pa), they use left-handedness.

According to a study by Dr. Governor Mitsukushima of Kokushikan University in Japan, the swastika was not a script, and was first used in Brahmanic records in the eighth century BCE as the chest hair of the main god, Vishnu, and as a mark called vatsa rather than as a script, and then used in Buddhist texts in the third century BCE. In the second century CE, it was renamed 'svastiko, which was originally a spiral of hair on the head of a calf, evolved into the chest hair of the main god Vishnu, and then became one of the sixteen major phases, and then one of the thirty-two major phases.

After the Second World War, Buddhism standardized on the left swastika after the Second World War because of the right swastika, which Hitler used in the Nazi party flag

The swastika, which is related to the scripture's translation and the spread of Buddhism, roughly speaking since the Wei and Jin dynasties. The Dajia Guangfo Huayan Sutra, Volume 65, "Entry into the Dharma Realm," says that Shakyamuni "had a swastika on his chest, and was flat and full in all seven places." The swastika is a sign of good fortune and is one of the 32 phases of Shakyamuni. In ancient India, Hinduism and Jainism used the swastika as a sign of good fortune and wrote it on their gates, offerings and books. In Jain religious ceremonies, the swastika and the vase are among the eight objects that symbolize good fortune. The swastika in Sanskrit, pronounced Muroi? In Sanskrit, it means "to be blessed" and was formerly translated as "auspicious sea cloud".

Song Fayun "translation of the name of the collection" Volume 6, cited Tang Huiyuan "new translation of the large square Buddha Avatamsaka sound and meaning" said: "the case of the swastika is not the word, the great Zhou Changshou two years (693 AD) the Lord of the right to make the text, written in the Tianshu, the sound of the Wan, said the collection of auspicious virtues also." Qiao Hui and more power number of Wu Zetian, first revered the Tao, and later suppressed the Tao revered Buddhism. She did so for a reason. Wu Zetian by Tang Taizong's talent, changed into Tang Gaozong's Zhao Yi, in the court struggle by any means necessary, beat Wang Huang Huang and Xiao Shufei and become the queen; she killed Li Tang royal family, and then changed the Tang Dynasty for the week as the emperor; she appoints the cool officials, with tyranny to deter the subjects, what she did, with the thinking of Confucianism is difficult to explain. And the road is the Li Tang royal family recognized, Chong Dao can not betray Li Tang, then only go Chong Buddha road. Ting Gong four years (688), Wu Cheng Si forged engraved with "the mother of Goddess of Mercy, Yongchang emperor" of the Ruishi, instigated by the table that the Ruishi out of the Luoshui. In the same year, some people also forged the Ruishi inscribed with "Buddha comes from the air, the top of the roof for the authorization (prophecy)", "three six years less singing Tang Tang, the next also singing Wu Mei Niang," claiming that it was obtained in Bishui, thus implying that Wu Zetian's claim to be the emperor was the will of the Buddha. The first year of Tianjiu (690), "East Wei State Temple monks Faming and other compilation of the Great Cloud Sutra four volumes, the table on it, that the Empress Dowager for the Maitreya Buddha was born, when the contemporary Tang Tang for the Lord of Yama Fudi (the world of man), the system awarded to the world" (Ziji Tongjian), Volume II, "4). In September of that year, she became the Holy Spirit Emperor of the Great Zhou. In the second year of Changshou's reign (693), when Bodhidhari and others translated the Po Yu Sutra, they added the words that "the Son of the Sun and Moonlight Heavenly Creator" was in the "Kingdom of the Mahabharata," and that "she appeared in the form of a woman to be the Lord of the Self". This kind of Buddhist prophecy is for Wu Zetian to ascend to the throne and consolidate the effectiveness of the emperor.

Regarding the "heavenly pivot", "Ziji Tongjian" Volume 2 "five records: Yanzhai yuan year (694), "Wu Sanshi Shuai four barbarians chiefs asked to cast copper and iron for the heavenly pivot, stood outside the end of the door, remembering the merits and virtues of the Tang Dynasty and glorify the Zhou Dynasty". The center of the sky was 105 feet high, with eight sides. Tianshu 105 feet high, eight sides, each five feet in diameter. On the diameter of three zhang Teng Yun Cheng Lu disk, one zhang high four dragons holding fire beads, the pivot of the sky engraved with Wu Zetian inscribed on the list of "the Great Zhou all countries to celebrate the virtue of the heavenly pivot", engraved with Wu Sanshi wrote the text of Tang and praise of the Zhou, the names of the hundred officials and chiefs of the four barbarians. The establishment of the heavenly pivot praise virtue is Wu Zhou's initiative, the swastika engraved on the heavenly pivot, praise Wu Zhou auspicious virtues. As the years passed, the heavenly pivot had long since fallen into disrepair and disappeared. Now, Wu Zetian's mausoleum, stands in front of the wordless monument, in the end, is the self-confessed high merit, the text is difficult to express; or succeeded the Tang Zhongzong on her merits and faults are difficult to comment on, only speechless?

From the archaeological discovery of cultural relics, the Sui and Tang dynasties, the swastika has come out of the Buddhist scriptures, and become the decorative theme of everyday objects. In the history of the evolution of copper mirrors, from the Tang Dezong to the late Tang Dynasty, popularized the swastika mirror. The rulers of the Yuan Dynasty revered Buddhism, and a number of powder boxes decorated with the swastika were unearthed at the site of the Qu Dou official kiln in Dehua, Fujian. Qing dynasty swastika brocade large side geometric pattern planted pile carpet, people can still see, that the continuous swastika is not broken.

During the Sui and Tang dynasties, the swastika was sometimes written as a swastika in Buddhist scriptures in different ways, and there was some confusion. The Tang Huilin (唐慧琳) suggested that the swastika should prevail. In Tibet, there is a difference between the counterclockwise swastika and the clockwise swastika. Tibetan Buddhists use the swastika as a sign of good luck and write it on temple doors, walls and other artifacts. The swastika, on the other hand, is a symbol worshipped by the Benjaminists, who call the swastika "yongzhong", meaning "solid" in Tibetan. Benzai believe that the swastika contains "solid faith unchanging" meaning, the swastika will be written in the temple door, walls, scriptures and religious scrolls, some areas of Tibetans, in the deceased's forehead to draw a swastika. The Benjaminists do it in a left counterclockwise direction, and the Tibetans do it in a right clockwise direction, touring around monasteries, stupas, sacred mountains, and holy places. The swastika and the swastika indicate the different ways of circumambulation in Benjaminism and Tibetan Buddhism. Benjaminism is a primitive religion similar to shamanism, which takes divination of good and bad luck, praying for blessings and eliminating disasters, inviting gods to drive away ghosts, and getting rid of illnesses and relieving troubles as its main activities.

Swastikas and swastikas appeared as symbols very early in the history of human culture. Neolithic sites in West Asia - the Bakun site south of Persepolis in Fars Province, Iran - have unearthed colored pottery dating no later than 3500 BCE, including ceramic elephants of the goddess of fertility, who had swastikas on her shoulders. The Majiayao culture (3,300 to 2,050 B.C.) of China's upper Yellow River, a late Neolithic culture, belonged to the Majiayao culture, and more than 130 types of incised symbols have been found at the base of Liowan, east of the city of Dule County, Qinghai, among which are swastikas. These symbols, scholars believe, were used to keep track of events. Ancient Mesopotamia had swastikas on its currency. As Europe entered the Bronze Age, the swastika became a decorative symbol. Swastikas can be found in early Christian art and Byzantine art. Swastikas and swastikas were also used by the Polynesians, the Maya of South and Central America, and the Navajo Indians of North America. The Navajo Indians used the swastika to symbolize the god of wind and rain. Early Germanic peoples*** had a deity, Thor, who was a god of thunder, and the swastika was his mallet.

The years passed and humanity entered the 20th century. Hitler believed that the Aryans were the best race, and the swastika was the symbol of the Aryans; the Jews were the inferior race, and in his fervent pursuit of "racial purity", he set off one anti-Jewish movement after another. In the 1920s and 1930s, when designing the flag for the National Socialist Party of Germany, he inserted a black swastika in a white circle on red cloth as an anti-Jewish symbol, and in September 1935 it became the flag and emblem of the Third Reich. Under the banner of the red, white and black swastika, the Nazi Party's anti-Jewish campaign, the Second World War instigated by the Third Reich and other fascist countries, caused the holocaust of mankind.

The swastika and the swastika as symbols have a long history and cover a wide area, and many nationalities have used it.

The American ethnographer Morgan (1818.11-1881.12) said in Ancient Societies, "Posture and the language of symbols seem to be something primitive, the sister of the language of speaking distinctly. ...... evolved the two are still inseparable. Yes, postural or body language and symbolic language, like sisters, have always gone hand in hand with articulate language. Even when mankind stepped into the digital age and computer language became popular, postural language and symbolic language did not disappear. In the tunnel of time, symbols such as the swastika, the ten, the Chinese taiji, the ancient Egyptian beetle and so on, which came from the ancient times, have released or are still releasing energy, and they have positively or negatively influenced human culture. So don't discount the symbolic language that has been or will be produced throughout history, which tells you much more than a single block character. ......

The swastika, or "yongzhong" or "yongzhong" in Tibetan, is a symbol that is used to symbolize a number of different things. " or "yongzhong laqu". In the Tibetan monastery buildings, residential buildings, tents, furniture, carpets, clothing, stone carvings, magic artifacts, works of art, as well as festivals, weddings and other celebrations, commonly used swastika symbols. It is widely and frequently used. "The swastika has a single figure or a series of figures, and its shape is left-rotating or right-rotating. In the past, the swastika was written in two ways and had two meanings. The swastika used on the Buddha statue is the left swastika, and the swastika used on the Benjaminism is the right swastika. According to "Dictionary": "Swastika" is not a word, but a symbol on the chest of the Buddhist Rudra, which means good luck and happiness. "The swastika was also used as a charm by many tribes in ancient times. "The swastika appeared in the history of ancient India, Persia, Greece and other countries; the Indian swastika symbol appeared in the Indus civilization period, the time of its appearance is about 4,500 years ago. The Chinese swastika, which appeared about 4,500 years ago, was originally a deformation of the abstract frog limb pattern. The swastika pattern on the pottery of Liouwan, Qinghai, is a kind of abstract deformation of the frog limb pattern.

First, the origin of the swastika symbol

In the history of human culture, the swastika as a symbol has a long history, covering a wide area, and many ethnic groups have used it. The origins of the swastika symbol are both foreign and local to the academic world, and there are many opinions, which are still not agreed upon.

The first of these is related to China.

Luoshu implies ten thousand characters.

Luo Shu a little change, you can advance the 10,000 characters:

Luo Shu ④ ⑨ ②

③ ⑤ ⑦ ?

⑧ ① ⑥

In the structural state of the Ten Thousand Characters, the numerical relationships implied by Luoshu, i.e., not easy to be seen at a glance, are very clearly reflected, such as the four sets of numbers where the difference between the two numbers is 5; the two curved arms of the Ten Thousand Characters have equal sums of the numbers, all of which are 25, and so on. In other words, the Ten Thousand Characters is a unique mathematical analysis of the Luoshu, and it reflects the intrinsic connection between the Luoshu and the Hetu in terms of mathematics and science, as long as the curved arms are straightened outwardly, the structural form of the Luoshu is consistent with that of the Hetu. When there are Luoshu and Wanxian, it is fine to omit the Hetu, because the mathematical and physical relationships in the Hetu are also basically reflected. In view of the above analysis, instead of saying that the ten thousand characters symbolize the radiant sun rays, it is better to say that the ten thousand characters are the transformed form of Luoshu, on the one hand, we can not see the ten thousand characters from the rays anyway; on the other hand, the ancients worshiped the ten thousand characters due to the worship of the Luoshu is also reasonable.

(a) The swastika symbol in the outside world

Some people in the academic community believe that the swastika symbol is "imported": the earliest from India or Europe. It appeared in the ancient cultures of many Eurasian peoples, such as ancient Greece, Persia, and ancient Babylon, and was later adopted by some ancient religions, such as Brahmanism, Buddhism, and Jainism.

Ancient Mesopotamia had a swastika on its currency. As Europe entered the Bronze Age, the swastika became a decorative symbol. In early Christian art and Byzantine art, the swastika can be seen. The Polynesians, the Mayans of South and Central America, and the Navajo Indians of North America also used the swastika. Early Germanic peoples*** had a god, Thor, who was a god of thunder, and the swastika was his mallet.

The Neolithic site in West Asia, Bakun, south of Persepolis in the Iranian province of Fars, has unearthed painted pottery dating from 3500 BC, including a goddess of fertility, who has a swastika on her shoulder. Brazilian primitive Karaje people also have "miscellaneous swastika" symbols on the decorative items.

China's famous sutra translators Hatamarash and Xuanzang translated the swastika symbol into the word "virtue", emphasizing the Buddha's infinite merit and virtue. In the Northern Wei Dynasty, Bodhi Luji translated the swastika as the word "Wan". In the second year of Wu Zetian's Changshou reign (693), the Tang dynasty decided to pronounce it as "Wan", which means to collect all the auspicious virtues of the world. It is first mentioned in the Buddhist classic Avatamsaka Sutra, Volume 65 (80-volume edition), "Entry into the Dharma Realm": "The chest is marked with a swastika, and the seven places are flat and full". Tang Huiyuan, "Hua Yan Yinyi": "The swastika was not a word, but in the second year of the Zhou Changshou period, the Lord of the world made this text, which was written in the Heavenly Pivot, and the sound of it was Wan, which means that it is a collection of auspiciousness and virtues." With the Tang Dynasty, the swastika was written in two ways, either left- or right-handedly, and the Tang Hui Lin's "All Sutra Sound Meanings," Volume 21, said, "Right-handedness should prevail." This symbol is used in Buddhism to symbolize the illumination of Buddha's light, or as a Buddhist logo. Therefore, in Chinese and foreign Buddhist monuments, the Buddha's chest are marked with a swastika character, to show the Buddha's "Rui Xiang", symbolizing good luck, light, sacred and beautiful.

It is reported that the swastika was introduced to China in the 4th century AD during the Eastern Han Dynasty, along with the advancement of Buddhism to the East; because the swastika has an auspicious meaning in the Buddhist scriptures, it was later taken as the meaning of the perfection of all virtues. "The introduction of the swastika into Chinese life is related to the translation of Buddhist scriptures and the spread of Buddhism. It is also said that the origin of this Tibetan swastika worship may be related to the ancient Persian fire Zoroastrianism, rather than the worship of the sun god.

Hitler believed that the Aryans were the best race, and that the swastika was the symbol of the Aryans; the Jews were the inferior race, and in his fervent quest for "racial purity", he set off campaign after campaign of exclusion of the Jews. In the 1920s and 1930s, when designing the flag of the National Socialist Party of Germany, he inserted a black swastika in a white circle on a red cloth as a symbol of opposition to the Jews, and in September 1935, it became the flag and emblem of the Third Reich. Under the red, white and black swastika, the anti-Jewish movement of the Nazi Party, the Third Reich and other fascist countries provoked the Second World War, resulting in the holocaust of mankind.

(B) "Swastika" symbol of the local said

In recent years, China's Neolithic era, several sites, ...... are found painted, engraved or printed "swastika" symbol pattern, some people speculate that it originated in China, from China spread to the outside world. The reason is: as early as 6,000-7,000 years ago, the ancestors in the Gan and Qing regions made pottery with swastika symbols, Guangdong, Inner Mongolia and other places in the Neolithic sites also found similar symbols, so the swastika symbols from the local. "Therefore, the swastika is of local origin. "The swastika is a variant of the word "wu," which was used in the oracle bone inscriptions of 3,000 years ago because it was first used as a messenger of the sun. The word "witch" in the oracle bone inscriptions three thousand years ago, because "witch" was the earliest messenger of the sun, so the oracle bone inscriptions of the word "witch" are also similar to the swastika; in the rock paintings found in different parts of China, such as the rock paintings of Yinshan Mountain in Inner Mongolia, the rock paintings of Canyuan Mountain in Yunnan, the rock paintings of Huashan Mountain in Guangxi, the rock paintings of Shogun's cliffs in Lianyungang, the rock paintings of Gongxian Mountain in Sichuan Province, etc., all of them depicted or symbolized the sun god. or symbolizing the sun god. Generally, the sun god has a round head with radiant light, or a figure holding the sun, or a round sun shape with a swastika in the circle. Swastikas are not only found in the pottery patterns of Gan and Qing in the northwest, but also in the Neolithic sites in the hinterland of the Central Plains, as well as in the oracle bone inscriptions and bronze inscriptions of the Shang and Zhou dynasties. These facts show that the cult of the swastika existed long before the introduction of Buddhism.

In recent years, in Tibet, Qinghai and other places have been found in ancient rock painting sites, rock paintings, in addition to animals, the sun, auspicious patterns, there are rock paintings of the swastika symbol. Such as Tibet Ali Ritu County found in Ritu rock paintings have "swastika" symbol evolution process sequence chart. Therefore, some scholars believe that the swastika symbol appeared the earliest in Tibet and has a profound meaning. Later on, swastikas also appeared in India, China and the West, but there is a big difference in their meanings. It is also believed that the swastika symbol did have a numerical meaning in the first place, and was used to represent "nine". ...... "Nine" as a sacred number, to be worshipped.

From the archaeological discovery of artifacts, the swastika symbol has become a decorative motif in everyday objects during the Sui and Tang dynasties. In the history of the evolution of copper mirrors, from the Tang Dezong to the late Tang Dynasty, the popularity of the swastika mirror. At the site of the Qu Dou kiln in Dehua, Fujian Province, a Yuan dynasty powder box decorated with the swastika was unearthed. Qing dynasty swastika brocade large side geometric pattern planted velvet carpet, that continuous head of the swastika symbol.

Since the Tang Dynasty, the Chinese and Tibetan national costumes are common in the swastika symbol pattern, but also contains a variety of symbols. Han folk costumes, the swastika symbol after careful treatment, the four ends of the swastika symbol extends to draw a variety of chain-link pattern, long and continuous, containing the meaning of wealth and prosperity. Sometimes the swastika symbol is also tilted, or elongated deformation, the four sides of the swastika symbol continuous pattern gives a sense of rotation of the dynamic, highly decorative.

An Xu pointed out in the "Tibetan clothing art": "swastika" pattern has been regarded as the traditional pattern of the Han people, people used to call it called the flower of the word, in fact, it originated from one of the Tibetan ancestors of the Qiang people culture. If we go back to an earlier time, we can see it in ancient Persia, Greece and India. Before the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Qinghai region was known as the "Qiang Rong land", the Qinghai Mafang culture is the first Qiang culture. Mafang culture site distribution area, mostly for the present Tibetan settlement area. So far in the back of the Tibetan region, there are still Tibetan compatriots to the swastika embroidered on the back of the clothes, and even stabbed on the body, become tattoo symbols, in the Tibetan other decorations are also very common .......

In Tibet, Linzhi County, Mirei Township, Yongzhuzhe village in the territory of the stone monument in addition to engraved with the Tibetan language, the monument surface below the carved monument seat, profile arc, 20 centimeters high, 1.6 meters wide. Carved on the seat of the raised swastika 11 symbols, with the color of Tibetan Benzoism. The inscription reads: "After the succession of Chidlom Songtsen, Prince Kungpo Gyalpo, in order to safeguard the interests of the small state, requested the Zangpo to reaffirm the old alliance: ... "In the past, since the separation of the brothers, and at the time of my father's ancestors, there was no separation between the government, the people, the people, and the gods; but nowadays, the people are happy, and the common government is like the swastika that is permanent. Nowadays, however, the officials of the Zangpo's inner government are imposing taxes and duties, and there are people who bully and abuse them. In order to make the future eternal peace, I pray to the king to give a letter of the covenant edict, in order to always live in peace and happiness.

According to Dr. Kalmyk Sangmudan, an important doctrine of Benzoism is to make Omulungren as the center of the universe, which is marked by the nine levels of Yongzhong Mountain (symbolized by the swastika), the top of which is in the shape of a crystal boulder called the Altar City. At the foot of the mountain, there are 4 big rivers flowing in 4 directions respectively, and there are 4 big palaces in 4 standard directions around Yongzhong Mountain, constituting the main area of Omulungren. Here mentioned the Tubo people of an ancient "orientation view", that is, Yongzhong Mountain as the center, to the Ganges River, the Indus River, Sydney River, the Bo Fork River and other 4 big rivers divide the center of the continent. Accordingly, it has been hypothesized that the topographical structure of the Yongzhong Mountain is an analog of the original structure of the swastika. That is, the swastika symbol is the earliest of the Tubo people a text geographic symbols.

In the Gyaltsen Tibetan area circulated the legend of the origin of Benzeneism in the local. It is said that a long time ago, the Lords of the Kailash Tibetan area were goddesses and transmitters of Benjaminism. They came back to earth to spread Benjaminism. The goddess turned into a roc bird, gave birth to four eggs, the last one was a flower egg, named Laxi embracing the Zhong, sent by his father, the God of Heaven, in the Year of the Rat, the Dragon Day rabbit riding the dragon driving to the foot (one-legged gully), and the goddess of the White Dragon Princess Yixi Zaxi married, husband and wife back to pay homage to the God of Heaven's father, Father of the God of Heaven, arranged for them to go to look for a swastika terrain to live in, spreading the Benzoism; this legend is also related to geography.

There is also a legend that the swastika was created as a signpost by Ludongzan, a minister of the Tibetan King Songtsen Gampo, when he proposed marriage to the Tang Dynasty. Later, the swastika was passed down in Tibetan areas to symbolize harmony, unity and good fortune.

Tibet, Lhasa, in front of the gate of the Da Zhao Temple, "the Tang Tang Alliance monument" stone inscription in Tibetan language within the sentence "this mighty virtue is incomparable, the king of Yongzhong majesty and splendor. Benzanism believes in "Yongzhong" as a deity, and the swastika to the left as a representative. Ancient and modern Tibetan folk popular to "yongzhong" word for benzo temple name and benzo believers personal name. In kham and jiajung Tibetan area, Tibetans held a wedding, the bride to the groom's home to the bride sitting place with barley set a "swastika". It is said that in Moya, a swastika is drawn on the forehead of the deceased after death.

Some academics believe that the swastika, the symbol of Benzoism, is the worship of the ancient ancestors of the Sun God, and the counterclockwise direction is the cognition of the ancient ancestors of the direction of the celestial body, reflecting the essence of nature worship.

The swastika has been passed down for thousands of years along with the historical process of Tibetan culture. "The swastika, as a symbol of "eternity" and "immortality", has an extremely profound cultural meaning, and has been influencing people's way of thinking in the deep structure of Tibetan culture.

Second, the symbol of the swastika

The reason why the swastika has not been obliterated from ancient times to the present and has been popular all over the world shows that it is not a symbol of general meaning, but has its own special connotation. The swastika is not a symbol in the ordinary sense of the word, but has a special meaning. "The swastika symbol was first used as a symbol of the sun god or the god of fire by human beings, and later referred to the Sanskrit metaphor of 'the auspicious sign of the chest', ...... is one of the thirty-two phases of Sakyamuni. Many peoples around the world have used the swastika as a symbol of ancient religions. "The swastika symbol has two ways of writing, two meanings, namely clockwise "swastika" and counterclockwise "swastika", respectively, on behalf of Buddhism and Bengtism.

At present, the academic community on the symbolism of the swastika symbol is summarized as follows: 1, is a Chinese character in the word "Wan"; 2, in view of this image appeared in the chest of RuLai, so it is said that its symbolism for the Buddhist "reincarnation "said the appearance; 3, the image has a Chinese character square form structure, so it is said to be lost "engraved in six thousand years ago in Gansu Majiayao pottery culture pottery on a Chinese character"; 4, because this symbol has been cast in our country during the Warring States period zhongshan to symbolize the king's power of the bronze battle-axe, so that this figure "is a Chinese character"; 4, because this symbol has been cast in China during the Warring States period zhongshan to symbolize the king's power of the bronze battle-axe. Therefore, it is said that this figure "is a totem symbol representing a race, or a unique symbol ---- clan emblem", and thus it is the "clan emblem of the White Di", a member of the northern Di tribe that had been prominent for a while since the Shang and Zhou Dynasties in Chinese history; 5. The prehistoric primitive shamanism The concept of "immortality of the soul" can be an artistic representation of ancestor worship, "and its function is a spiritual and cultural life of people in primitive societies, for the purpose of giving vent to their emotions, expressing their wishes, expressing their will, and praying to their ancestors for blessings and elimination of calamities for their own purposes. Therefore, the swastika symbol image is the primitive religion through which the unity of the nation, to protect the people or to seek success in the art of faith expression.

In addition, there are the following points of view: First, that the swastika pattern may have evolved from the sun pattern, it is said that this figure symbolizes the "sun worship"; Second, that symbolizes the appearance of fertility worship; Third, that the The "swastika" pattern in the Majiayao culture is an abstract deformation of the frog limb pattern; four is that the "swastika" pattern is used to remember things; five is that the sun or the symbol of fire; six is a symbol of the wind wheel. Seventh, in the Tibetan primitive Benzai religion has the meaning of auspiciousness and endless life.

For the Shinigami's swastika, please go to the "swastika" entry, thank you!
