I want to know what Tai Sui is.
What are the taboos in the folk custom of offering sacrifices to Tai Sui and worshipping Tai Sui? Tai sui is also called Tai sui Xing Jun, or Sui Jun, which is a star and folk god. "The General Examination of Continuing Literature, the Paper of Suburb Society 190" records: "Those who are too old are the gods of twelve Chen. Jupiter runs once a year, and the calendar is twelve days a week, if it is a step. From the child to the sun, from noon to the sea, the so-called twelve gods are also. " Since the Qin and Han dynasties, Tai Sui has been regarded as a fierce god, and there is a saying that "reaching the fierceness of Tai Sui, enduring the fierceness of Tai Sui". People think that it is not appropriate to start work in the ground in the old age, otherwise it will lead to disaster, so there is a saying that "it is unlucky to start work in the old age." In Taoism, "Tai Sui" is the honorific title for the gods, that is, Tai Sui Jun. The Taoist book says that every 60 years is the reincarnation of Jia Zi, and that in every "fleeting year", a fairy is sent to the world to take charge of the fortunes of the world. Therefore, the people respectfully call these gods "Tai Sui", and there are 60 Tai Sui in 60 years, so they are collectively called "Sixty Jiazi Gods". 20 14 year is Tai Sui, which is the year number of Zhang Ci. He was born in Jingxian County of Ming Dynasty (now Jingxian County of Anhui Province). His name is Zhang, aka. He studied the Five Classics of Confucianism since childhood, and he was proficient in all kinds of articles and strategies. Zhang Ci is a steady person who is keen on teaching and sets an example. During his training in Funing Prefecture (now Xiapu County, Fujian Province), he persuaded the people to work hard in agriculture and reap a bumper harvest every year. At that time, there was an alarm of Japanese invasion, and the gates of Funing Prefecture were closed. Outside the city, people who want to escape the enemy's disaster are kept outside the city gate. Despite the obstruction, Zhang Ci personally opened the gate and put all the people at the gate into the city, saving a large number of people. Zhang Ci died in office. During the funeral, the local people came to see him off, regardless of distance, to remember his outstanding merits. In the folk, people believe that Tai Sui dominates people's fate and good or bad luck. If we offend Tai Sui, it will bring misfortune and disaster. As the old saying goes, "Tai Sui is like a king, the head of the gods, and the Lord of all evils, such as the king of the world, so don't offend him." There is another cloud: "In old age, no happiness is a disaster." So what kind of situation is "release"? Generally speaking, there are two kinds of criminals who come to Taisui Yue: one is in time, mainly in the zodiac, and the other is in the Japanese branch. One is spatial, that is, feng shui offenders are too old. Judging from the zodiac, if the average person is the same age as the elderly, or is punished, washed away, injured, broken, etc. , he is a kind of "tai sui". Therefore, 20 14 Wu Jia Year of the Horse has three zodiac signs: horse, mouse, ox and rabbit. 20 14 years, Taizi position is due south. To a certain extent, the position of Tai Sui has a very strong gas field, which is not suitable for breaking ground, otherwise it means gas dispersion, which is very unfavorable to his family. So 20 14 tries to avoid breaking ground due south. Tai sui chong will affect the promotion of fortune to a certain extent, or bring adverse effects. Therefore, all localities should hold the traditional customs of "eliminating disasters", "worshiping the elderly" and "respecting the elderly" every year to eliminate disasters and pray for Naji; There are also Taoist priests or Feng Shui masters who are specially designed for people who are destined to be too old, or choose auspicious years to help transport evil mascots, so as to resolve the adverse effects brought by Chong Ke's "too old". Reminder: The day of beginning of spring is the handover day of Tai Sui, and it is also the day to pay homage to Tai Sui. A grand sacrificial ceremony should be held to worship Tai Sui, so some taboos should be especially known: try not to eat meat or drink the night before the ceremony, take a bath and wear clean clothes; Women should avoid menstrual period; During the worship, be calm, don't think about things unrelated to the ceremony, keep the altar quiet, and pray sincerely in your heart to bring good luck.
