Half a bowl of clear water illuminates the universe, a talisman instructs ghosts and gods;
Step on yin-yang gossip steps, holding a wooden sword in hand to slash demon souls.
The yellow missionary coat casts the heroic spirit, and the life is clear and bright;
Holding the turbid wine over his head, weeping sadly to respect the Taoist.
When it comes to our Maoshan, the first thing that comes to mind is the many Maoshan series of movies shot by Hong Kong in the early 1980s. Lin Zhengying played the nine uncle's talisman, which is omnipotent in exorcising ghosts, setting off a "Maoshan fever". Today, decades later, there are still some fanatical fans who are obsessed with magic and have blind worship and fantasies about Maoshan. Today, Xiaodao will tell you what is Maoshan, and are all the scenes in the movie real? ?
First of all, we need to know why the first thing that comes to mind when it comes to drawing talismans and catching ghosts is Maoshan Longhu Mountain?
Except for some of the good faith influenced by movies and novels, the Taoist priests of Maoshan have been required to practice painting talismans and ritual rituals since ancient times. Unlike the Taoist priests of the Quanzhen School, the Zhengyi School mainly focuses on fasting rituals and talismans. They are good at chasing ghosts and exorcising evil spirits and praying for blessings. The purpose of the disaster is to exorcise the demons and protect the people; the Quanzhen religion mainly focuses on alchemy and cultivation of immortals, and the purpose is to obtain the Tao and become an immortal. Therefore, most film and television works take Zhengyi Taoist priest as the prototype. The Zhengyi faction is divided into Maoshan, Lingbao, Qingwei, Jingming and other factions. There are four major altars, namely the Zhengyi Xuan altar in Longhu Mountain (called Wanfa altar because of the talisman of the three mountains), and the Shangqing altar in Maoshan. Pavilion, Lingbao Xuan altar in Zaoshan, Jingming Zong altar in Nanchang Xishan.
Is Mao Shanshu in the movie real?
Most of the spells are made up and based on the folk Maoshan technique, which is quite different from our orthodox Maoshanzhai teaching rituals, and the spells are exactly the same. The orthodox Maoshan School refers to the Maoshan Shangqing School in Jurong, that is, the Shangqing Zongtan. It is precisely because of the influence of movies and novels that many Jianghu masters have been born, and they use the title of Maoshan disciple to swindle and deceive Maoshan's reputation.
So whether the Maoshan magic really exists, and how to judge it?
Regarding this point, Chairman Yang, Chairman of Maoshan, gave a clear explanation in an interview. Daoist Master Yang Shihua: In the Shangqing School of Maoshan, there are many real Taoist arts of the Taoist Association, which is inseparable from their sincere belief in Taoism and their awe and worship of gods. For example, in the "Three Mao Tables" in the Taoist rituals of Maoshan, the masters have to step on the gang, and first place a gang rug in the center of the mandala. Suzaku, Xuanwu). The so-called stepping on the gang step means that the masters step on the gang rug. The gang step is based on the corresponding position of the twenty-eight constellations in the sky, and then the gods inside and outside the body through the Shangqing school's cun-si, cun-imagination. Introspect the appearance and activity status of the gods, recite the names of the gods you want to summon, and perform specific hand moves and incantations to summon the heavenly soldiers and generals to the field to protect the field. This is the "calling general" in Taoist magic. The master communicates the wishes of the believers with the gods through "calling generals", and realizes the communication between people and gods. This is an important content of Taoist magic, and this is what people often call psychic, and we Taoist talk about the induction of heaven and man. This is not something that everyone can do, but it must be done by Taoist masters and believers when they perform fasting rituals. In Taoist rituals, the contents that cannot be explained by science, such as mage holding a flag in hand, chanting mantras, etc., are a kind of Taoist magic, rather than the one-sided understanding of people's one-sided understanding of flying over the walls and escaping through the walls.
What are the general classifications of the spirits of Maoshan?
Maoshan's talisman, peace talisman, student aid talisman, harmony talisman, lucky talisman, calamity-relieving talisman, and requiem talisman are all relatively influential talismans in the folk. The most common ones are "talismans" with folk customs such as warding off evil and pestilence, avoiding evil spirits and protecting the body, seeking auspiciousness and avoiding evil, entering and exiting safely, eliminating disasters and solving difficulties, and having no taboos. Fortune".
There are two main types of rituals in Maoshan.
1. The ritual ceremony of the main altar (Yangjiao, generally made for living people, the basic idea is to eliminate disasters and prolong life, bless the safety of the population, and the silkworm business is prosperous, etc.) It includes: issuing talismans, playing music, morning, noon, evening, and repentance , Participating in fighting, auspicious stars, offering heaven.
2. The ritual of saving death (Yinjiao, generally for the death of three generations of ancestors, and then the transformation of the dead, mainly for the deceased) It includes, "Fang Yankou (there are tin cans, Doumu, and Xianweng) and so on.
Finally, please screen carefully. Don’t trust the so-called Maoshan master in Jianghu. If necessary, you can go to Maoshan to learn about related matters. I also hope that people in Taoism will unite and let more people know about our Taoism through the platform.
The weather is swaying, and I say that the sun is prosperous!
