Taoist magic was originally an ancient skill of China. It is usually considered as divination. There is a saying that Taoism is a traditional and precious cultural heritage summed up by the ancient people of China through long-term observation and repeated verification in their struggle with nature. There is also a saying that "Daoism" is the achievement of truth. After the Yuan Dynasty, due to foreign invasion, a large number of materials were damaged and lost, and many schools appeared. According to the function, there are two kinds of Daoism: rational number specialization and magic specialization.
What is the role of Daoism?
1, used for forecasting, unifying the army, geomantic layout, etc.
The real Taoist prophecy is to calculate the development of events according to the laws of nature through the reasonable arrangement of symbols such as intrauterine, extrauterine, heavenly stems, earthly branches, five elements, eight diagrams, eight doors, nine planets, Ba Shen and twelve longevity.
The prediction step is not a slight narrowing of the corner of the eye, but a concentrated arrangement of tiger and leopard doors. By calculating the final decision, starting from the address, starting from the sky, looking for the tenth day, looking for value symbols, looking for value, arranging eight doors, arranging Ba Shen, arranging nine planets, arranging dark dry, hiding dry, arranging twelve immortals and distributing in twenty-four mountains, the trend of the event can be calculated by analyzing the symbols. A set of logical methods that have been passed down for thousands of years, rational and orderly, is the real Taoist prophecy. As shown below: Taoist palace layout.
2. Joint forces
Daoism's method of commanding troops is based on prediction. Here is a brief introduction. For example, a general who uses God as the "lunar shadow" can seal off the city and hide soldiers here. For another example, using God to meet a white tiger means that there must be an enemy attack in the direction of Gou Chen. At this time, our general can use the characteristics of "white tiger" hidden under Gou Chen to ambush him. If the enemy general is also proficient in the art of war, he will rely on his own land with a hook and then hide in it. The generals of the two sides adopted the magical Taoist law of leading troops, arranged their troops and arranged their positions, and used their wits to fight bravely.
3.feng shui
In ancient China, people from the emperor to the Li people attached great importance to geomantic omen. Since the emperor ascended the throne, he began to choose Long Mai to build the imperial tomb. This shows the importance of Feng Shui in China. Traditional geomantic omen mostly refers to "situation school" and "Lu 'antou" regulating qi, while Taoist geomantic omen directly uses special door panels to measure geomantic omen.
