It is said that this year is the Year of the White Tiger. What do you mean?

This is an article published by a friend of mine the other day. I'll lend it to you. Is 20 10 gengyin year really the year of the white tiger? Just after one-third of the ugly year of the lunar calendar in 2009, there were some problems in the year of 20 10 Geng Yin. Some people can't stand loneliness and become interested in 20 10 Geng yin year. Because there are many things in 20 10, we must make a plan in advance in 2009. For example, if you want to have a baby on 20 10, you have to get pregnant in advance in 2009; For example, when you graduate from 20 10 to find a job, you have to know the job market in 2009 in advance. Others want to know whether getting married on 20 10 is good, traveling is good, moving is good, repairing the house is good, etc ... Some people have heard that 20 10 is the Year of the White Tiger, and it is said that they are afraid of getting married because they are most afraid of white tigers getting in the way. Others have heard that 20 10 is not the Year of the White Tiger, but the Year of Hu Jin, which is an auspicious year. So what year is 20 10? To explain these problems, we must first understand what a white tiger is. White tiger, formerly known as White Tiger Star, is a concept of ancient astronomy, which refers to the four spirits in the sky and a group of constellations in the twenty-eight nights. The Four Spirits, also known as the Four Elephants, refers to an image composed of four stars in the sky, namely the Dragon Constellation in the East, the White Tiger Constellation in the West, the Suzaku Constellation in the South and the Xuanwu Constellation in the North. According to "Three Auxiliary Huang Tu", "Black Dragon, White Tiger, Suzaku, Xuanwu and Tiansi Spirit are all square". Twenty-eight constellations are the 28 constellations that Chinese ancient astronomers divided, selected and marked the stars in the area where the sun and the moon passed. The book "Shangshu Kao Ling Yao" said, "The East Corner, Kang, Bian, Zhai, Heart, Tail and Basket are seven nights, which are shaped like dragons and named Zuo Qinglong; There are wells, ghosts, willows, stars, Zhang, wings and seven nights in the south, which are shaped like quail birds and are called paper crane; There are seven nights in the west, such as Kui, Lou, Stomach, Chang, Bi, Gou and Shen, which are shaped like tigers. The right white tiger (Kui, Lou, Stomach, Chang, Bi, Gou, Shen) makes up the seven nights of the western white tiger, but the orientation of this tiger is just the opposite of the black dragon constellation, with its head facing west and its tail facing north. Fighting in the north, cattle, women, emptiness, danger, room and wall for seven nights, it looks like a tortoise and snake, called Xuanwu Queen. " These four gods were later used by Taoism as the patron saints of this religion. Ge Hong in the Eastern Jin Dynasty said in the book "Miscellaneous Answers in Bao Puzi" that there are twelve green dragons on the left, twenty-six white tigers on the right, twenty-four suzaku in front and seventy-two basalts behind. Taoist temples often worship the four spirits on both sides of the Lingguan Hall at the mountain gate. The four spirits are dressed in gold, which means taking the four spirits as the door to protect the gods. Taoist priests enter the temple to burn incense, mostly from the mountain gate, that is, from the worship of Wang Lingguan and Si Ling. In the large-scale fasting ceremony of Taoism, there are also many gods with four spirits and twenty-eight nights. In the ceremony, there are often details of summoning the four spirits to protect the law. Taoism not only uses four spirits to protect gods, but also sets sacrifices at the entrance of Guan Gong Mountain. Later, it was also used as an image, choosing a land of feng shui as Guan Gong Temple. Therefore, the image of the four spirits further extends to Feng Shui. The ancients often regarded the places of "Zuo Qinglong, You Baihu, Qianzuzha and Houxuanwu" as a treasure trove of geomantic omen, which is not only suitable for the construction of Guan Gong Temple, but also suitable for the construction of ancestral graves. Such a treasure trove of geomantic omen is certainly suitable. So when did this white tiger spirit beast become a white tiger malefic? According to the observation of ancient astronomy in China, some natural disasters often occur when the fleeting time accords with the numerical value of the White Tiger constellation, so unlucky years are called "White Tiger Year" and unlucky people are called "White Tiger Star", which is the origin of calling the White Tiger a jinx. Of course, confirmed by modern astronomy, although this speculation has certain reference value, it is not accurate, has great limitations, and has nothing to do with the year of the tiger in the lunar calendar. However, some superstitious people are still used to far-fetched, saying that all the years of the tiger are the years of the white tiger. This statement without scientific basis is just superstition and unreliable. In fact, whether the fleeting time is good or bad is related to the five elements of the fleeting time itself, and has nothing to do with whether it conforms to the "Year of the Tiger". When the sky is dry, the time flies, that is, like the emperor, when the land is supported, the time flies, that is, if the emperor and the queen are born together, then the world will be peaceful, and the emperor and the queen will be together. How difficult it is for the world. However, it is natural for the emperor to be obedient to the queen. For example, the queen is obedient to the emperor, which is wrong. For example, 1996 Bing Yin Year of the Tiger, the fire of Emperor C is born with the branch of Houyin Wood, and the world will be peaceful. Another example is 1998 Wuyin Year of the Tiger. Yin Mu, the empress of the earthly branch, forced the local tyrant to defend his position, so the water under his jurisdiction was flooded. For example, Shen Jia in 2004, a good friend in 2005, and the underground branch, Shen You Jin Ke Tian Gan Jia, failed to restrain the shallow soil under her control, so mine accidents occurred frequently in the past two years. In 2008, there was an earthquake during the Wuzi War, but the Wuzi soil was finally filled with water, so the general trend was auspicious. 20 10 is the Year of the Tiger in the China Zodiac. Although Yin is strong wood, Geng is strong gold to restrain Yin wood, so Yin tiger can't make waves. On the contrary, this kind of pine and cypress likes to meet strong gold and grams, and is known as "the wood without gold cannot be made." Therefore, the year of Gengyin is only the year of Muhu in the zodiac, and there is no astrology. " There is also a folk saying about the white tiger, which refers to a woman without pubic hair. In the old society, this kind of adult female without pubic hair was called "white tiger". Taiyuan Dialect Dictionary: White Tiger Essence: Superstition refers to adult women who have no pubic hair and think that such women will hinder Zukov and bring bad luck. Luoyang Dialect Dictionary: "White tiger: female without pubic hair. "Chongming Dialect Dictionary": "White Tiger Star: Calling a woman a curse is a bad life. Chinese Dictionary: "White Tiger Star: the evil spirit mentioned by astrologers is unlucky when it meets". These statements are nothing more than one meaning, that is to say, a woman without pubic hair is a "white tiger" woman, and a "white tiger" woman is called a "white tiger star" because of her strong sexual desire, which will hinder her husband's marriage and bring bad luck to her husband's family. But modern medicine has proved that this statement is unreasonable. Physiologically speaking, it is not necessarily unreasonable for women to have a strong sexual desire. If sexual life is moderate, it will sometimes improve the quality of love and marriage. So "White Tiger Girl" has nothing to do with the "White Tiger Constellation" in the sky. This is purely a far-fetched superstition and should be completely abandoned. Hu Jin's theory is far-fetched. Some people think that the tiger in the four spirits is in the west and the west belongs to gold, so it is called Hu Jin. This statement of determining the fleeting time according to the orientation has no reference value and is not worth believing. I can't believe the business speculation that all years are golden years. For example, the year of the golden pig, the year of the golden mouse, the year of the golden bull and so on. So from the five elements, is the year of 20 10 Gengyin a white tiger or a Hu Jin? Judging from the fleeting time, the annual stem is Geng Jin, the annual branch is Yin Mu, and the five acts are Jin Mu for one year. Judging from the tone of 60 Jiazi, 20 10 Geng Yin, 20 1 1 Xin Mao are all pine and cypress trees, and the babies born in these two years are all "pine and cypress trees". In ancient times, the fleeting time was determined by the sound there, so judging from the sound there, it should be regarded as a "year of the wooden tiger". It is neither a white tiger nor a Hu Jin. So what is the image of "pine and cypress"? According to the understanding of the Three Commandments Conference, "Geng Mao's qi takes advantage of Yang, and the power of cultivation must be shaped. When the golden frost is on, the wood is prosperous, and when it is cold, it is firm, so it is called pine and cypress wood. "Geng MAO pine and cypress wood, wood to the officer in Yin, emperor in MAO, wood, is not its weakness, so it is called pine and cypress wood. Snow and ice covered the earth, and the wind blew the spring, more than Zhang Jing gave. Therefore, pine and cypress are strong trees. Only the fire in the furnace and the water in the water can hurt it, and other encounters are harmless. Pine and cypress trees, such as Dalin trees and willow trees, are all varieties of wood, but their quality is not as good as that of pine and cypress, so they are bound to be jealous. Pine and cypress trees like to see gold, and when they meet it, it indicates wealth. 20 10 gengyin and 20 1 1 xinmao, pine, cypress and wood are made of gold. Meeting Zheng Jin is a good sign, which indicates that although there are some ups and downs in Jin Mu in the past two years, the general trend is auspicious, and it can hold weddings, build houses, start businesses and other festive things, which also indicates this.
