What is the significance of this day of Yang Gong’s Thirteenth Anniversary?

"Yang Gong's Death Day" is also known as "Yang Gong's Thirteen Taboos". According to legend, it was set by Yang Junsong, a Feng Shui master in the Tang Dynasty. The thirteen "anniversaries of death" are respectively the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, the eleventh day of February, the ninth day of March, the seventh day of April, the fifth day of May, the third day of June, the first day of July, the twenty-ninth day of July, the twenty-seventh day of August, and the ninth day of September. Twenty-fifth, October twenty-third, November twenty-first, December nineteenth. These thirteen "anniversaries of death" are all inappropriate. What is the anniversary of Yang Gong’s death? We can refer to Volume 36 of "Sikuquanshu·Qin Ding Xieji Defiang Shu" "Defense of Falsehood". The entry "Yang Gongji" on pages 811-1019 is: "Many secular people fear Yang Gongji, and Tongshu also It has been said for many years that it is not a good day to travel, and it is unfavorable to do things, all because I do not know the reason, so I am confused. According to it, it is the day of the house fire pig, and the order of the Spica is on New Year's Day. The number of days in the room is Yang Gongji. Regardless of the size of the month, a week of 28 days goes back two days, so the 13th day of the first lunar month, the 11th day of the second lunar month, and finally the 12th day of the seventh lunar month. On the 13th day of the lunar month, the husband's day is like using Jiazi to mark the day. It does not necessarily start in Da Nao, but it has been a long time. It is a natural sequence and does not need to be arranged. Yes. However, I haven't heard of any taboos on the day of the month. Today, it is not the day of the night, but it is forced to start on New Year's Day. It cannot be rotated every year, and if the first month is small, it will be on the 11th day of the second month. It is a dangerous place, no matter how small the second month is, then the ninth day of March will be a virtual place, and An Deqiang will be called a house fire pig! "Jin Zhi" says: "The camp is Yuan Palace, also known as Qing Temple, it must not be bad luck." Yao. "Poetry" said: "Dingzhi Fangzhong was written in the Chu Palace." "Erya" said: "The camp is called Ding." If you think of it as a fire, and the tail, chamber, scorpion, and wings are all fire places, why should you avoid it in the chamber? If you think of it as a pig, and it is not in the same shape as the star palace, it can actually be called a pig. . This is not the case for false accusations against the people. I don’t know why Yang Gong needs people. His words are probably from the Western Regions. The people are disgusted by the sound, so how can they be used in China? Yeah!" We know that "Sikuquanshu" is a comprehensive collection of classics, histories, books and collections compiled by Ji Xiaolan, a scholar during the Qianlong period. Because the book versions at that time were mixed and full of errors...the naming of it by the emperor and the emperor shows its authority. (All my article information was obtained from the "Sikuquanshu". Not everyone has the conditions to see this complete book. Fortunately, a CD version has been published now...) This text in "Sikuquanshu" has been Analyze its authenticity very clearly. "New Year's Day" refers to the Spring Festival (the first day of the first lunar month), and there is no basis for specifying the beginning of Spica as the twenty-eight constellations. Because the observatory’s date values ​​for the 28 constellations will never change, and it has nothing to do with the day numbers of the month. First understand the Twenty-eight Constellations: Ancient Chinese astronomy divided the celestial bodies into five parts of the four directions and the central palace for observing celestial bodies. East and west are divided into 12 areas, called twelve times, rotating around the celestial pole in Ziweiyuan (commanding Taiweiyuan and Tianshiyuan) ⑤. According to the overall image of the visible star group, it is divided into Eastern Canglong ① (spring) (administering Jiao, Kang, Di, Fang, Xin, Wei, Ji), Southern Suzaku (Xia) (administering well, ghost, willow, star, Zhang , Wing, Zhen), Western White Tiger (Autumn) (governed by Kui, Lou, Wei, Pleiades, Bi, Shen, Xiang) Northern Xuanwu (Winter) (governed by Dou, Ox, Female, Xu, Wei, Room, Wall). And they are named after birds and animals, which are just similar to the astral group. For example: the virtual sun rat, the dangerous moon swallow, the room fire pig, etc., are not physical animals. Besides, there is no ancient astronomy that says that the Jiaomu Jiao constellation must be on duty on the first day of the Lunar New Year, so how come the 13th happens to be the Huo Zhu constellation on duty. Besides, the moon has different sizes. It is impossible that if it retreats for two days every month, it will be a house fire pig. This is without basis. "Sikuquanshu" mentions that when Yang Gong died on the 13th day of the first lunar month, it was the House Fire Pig Day. Moreover, the folk custom in the Western Regions is that they hate pigs and the sound is unpleasant, so this day is taboo. Subordinate nonsense! However, in Rongcheng, Hebei, only the thirteenth day of the first lunar month is the most important day for Yang Gongji, because the local people commemorate Yang Gong's day, which is another matter. Yang Jisheng, whose courtesy name was Zhongfang and nicknamed Jiaoshan, was from Rongcheng (now Rongcheng, Hebei Province). He was a Jinshi in Jiajing and was awarded the title of chief of the Nanjing Civil Service Department, and later changed to a member of the Military Department, Wai Lang. He was imprisoned for the ten major crimes of raping Yan Song. He was killed three years later. Before his execution, he wrote a poem: "My loyal heart shines through the ages, but my heroic spirit is still too weak. I have not repaid my kindness in my life, so I will keep it as a replenishment for my loyal soul." It is popular among the people that "Yang Gong's Death Day" is a day to commemorate Yang Jisheng, who hates powerful traitors. Yang Jisheng was smart and talented when he was young, and he was also a celebrity in the Ming Dynasty known for his clever pairings. Legend has it that when Yang Jisheng first entered the private school.

One day, a very old student came. When the teacher saw that such an old man also came to study, he made a joke: Old student, who knew that as soon as he finished his words, he was picked up by Yang Jisheng who was sitting next to him. , answered casually; Xiao Jintu. The teacher was shocked: "This kid is so smart, he will definitely be a Jinshi in the future!" One day, the teacher was out, and the students were playing a game of forming battle formations. They were having fun when the teacher suddenly came back, and everyone hurriedly hid around. The teacher was furious. , one by one, they will be punished to kneel, and they will hide their faces. It is stipulated that those who step out first will not be punished, and those who do not step out will continue to be punished. Yang Jisheng smiled slightly and replied: Show your name and fame. The anger on Teacher Lidian's face immediately disappeared, and he exclaimed: "This is absolutely true!" He stretched out his hands to help Yang Jisheng up. Once, Yang Jisheng's cousin Xin Tiyuan came to his home as a guest. There happened to be no wine at home and the wine in the pub was sold out. Yang Jisheng's father was very embarrassed. Xin Tiyuan then came out to play: "Without wine, you are a poor master." As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a childish voice reply: "You have a son who is a famous minister." When my cousin saw it, it was Yang Jisheng who answered and he was full of praise. Yang Jisheng has outstanding talent and spicy writing style. He once wrote a couplet for the martial arts hall of the Jinan Temple in Shandong Province: An iron shoulder bears moral responsibility, and a ruthless hand writes articles. Later, Mr. Li Dazhao, the pioneer of the proletarian revolution, highly praised Yang Jisheng's famous couplet, in which the word "spicy" was changed to the word "miao", which became "Iron shoulders bear moral principles, and skillful hands write articles", which was regarded as the left and right inscriptions. One time, Yang Jisheng took a boat across the Yangzi River to visit the scenery of Jiaoshan Mountain in Zhenjiang. He stayed in a Jiaoshan Cave at night and suddenly came up with a wonderful couplet and wrote it on the mountain wall. The couplet says: Yangzi crosses the Yangtze River, and Jiaoshan lives in Jiaoshan Cave. The whole joint name intersects with the scenery, Yangzi refers to himself, and Jiaoshan is Yang Jisheng's nickname. It's so natural and wonderful. During this tour, he also wrote a couplet. Lian Yun: People's hearts are not high. The natural destiny is determined by God. Why bother to use organs? Yang Gongji's words: Yang Gongji Phonetic: yáng gōng jì Definition: 1. The old superstition starts from the 13th day of the first month of the lunar calendar. From now on, it will be Pepsi two days earlier every month. Taboo day. According to legend, the story began with Yang Jiupong, a warlock from Kanyu in the Song Dynasty, so that day was called Yang Gongji. A long time ago, there lived an old man named Yang. People called him Mr. Yang. This Duke Yang has thirteen sons, who are like wolves and tigers, and they have a lot of wealth. It can be said that he wants people and wealth. Yang Gong was naturally a little erratic. One day, I was so happy that I started chatting with people there, saying: "I don't have any sons every month, but I can still have one who can celebrate the New Year with me." Gods are everywhere, but mortals don't talk too much. Crazy. Yang Gong's crazy talk happened to be heard by a passing god. The god went to heaven and reported it to the Jade Emperor. The Jade Emperor was furious and ordered him to have a son every month. Starting from the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, one of Yang Gong's sons will die every month. Each month goes forward two days, the first month is the thirteenth day, the second month is the eleventh day, the third month is the ninth day, and so on. This year happened to be in the seventh month, so I adopted Duke Yang's two sons in July. The days are the first and the twenty-ninth of July, so this year is thirteen months. Naturally, none of Yang Gong's thirteen sons were left. At the end of the year, naturally no one would celebrate the New Year with Yang Gong. Later, people called the day when Yang Gong's son died as Yang Gongji. These days are very toxic and you cannot go out. However, now that people go out every day, it doesn’t matter. But if you want to choose a day to do things, it is best not to choose these days. Most people know that on the 13th day of the first lunar month, people should avoid doing work or traveling. Why is this? Song Taizong Zhao Ershe fell into the Liao Kingdom's plan and went to the North for talks. Under the leadership of Yang Jiye, the Yang family's seven men and eight tigers broke into Youzhou to escort the Northern Expedition. They marched to Lianglang Mountain. Yang Jiye believed that this trip The soldier violated the taboo of place names, and his own surname was "Yang". When "sheep" met "wolf", and when he met two "wolves", it was difficult to win. He warned the officers and soldiers to be careful. As a result, during the war, they encountered an ambush and were defeated. On the beach, the Yang family will be seriously damaged. Da Lang died for the King of Song; Er Lang died short-lived; San Lang's horse trampled on flesh and mud; Si Lang lived in the country; Wu Lang was afraid of death and became a monk; Qi Lang was killed by a random arrow; General Yang was killed in front of Li Ling's monument; only Yang was left. Rokuro. The generals of the Yang family were defeated and dispersed. On this day, the 13th day of the first lunar month, the death anniversary of the generals of the Yang family. In order to commemorate the loyalty of the country, people designated the 13th day of the first lunar month as "Yang Gongji". Later, some people decided to commemorate the death of Duke Yang and designated one day in each month as the death day of Duke Yang. It is commonly known as the "Thirteen Taboos of Duke Yang". Everything should not be done on this day, as it is considered unlucky.

"Yang Gong's Death Day" is also called "Yang Gong's Thirteen Death Days". The thirteen "annihilation days" are respectively the 13th day of the first lunar month, the 11th day of February, the 9th day of March, the 7th day of April, the 5th day of May, the 3rd day of June and the beginning of July. 1. On July 29, August 27, September 25, October 23, November 21, and December 19, nothing should be done on this day, as it is all unlucky. "There are two versions of Yang Gong Sacrifice. One is to commemorate Yang Linggong Yang Jiye, and the other tells myths and legends. (1) The thirteenth day of the first lunar month is also called "Yang Gong Sacrifice". According to legend, it is the day when the old linggong Yang Jiye died in battle. Not appropriate. People use various forms to commemorate his achievements. (2) There was once an old man named Yang. The villagers called him Yang Gong. He had 13 sons. After the Jade Emperor heard about it, he was very jealous because he had no son. On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, King Yama told the old man that according to the "Book of Life and Death", the old man would die every month, and Mr. Yang said that he would die within one year. Thirteen sons, twelve months in a year, one son dies every month, and there is still one left. From that day on, King Yama asked Yang Gong to die every 28 days, and they were separated within one year. After death, these thirteen days are the 13th day of the first lunar month, the 11th day of February, the 9th day of March, the 7th day of April, the 5th day of May, the 3rd day of June, the 1st day of July, the 29th day of July, and the 27th day of August. , September 25th, October 23rd, November 21st, and December 19th. In the future, every time these days come, Yang Gong will sacrifice to his son, so later generations will mark the 13th day of the first lunar month and related days. It is called "Yang Gong Sacrifice". It is said that Yang Laolinggong, the general of the Yang family, always won the battle, but there were always a few days when he lost the battle. Later, it was concluded that no war could be fought on the day of Yang Gong's death. Heaven cannot do big things, and we cannot visit relatives... The specific times are: the thirteenth day of the first lunar month and the eleventh day of the second (month); the ninth day of the third month and the seventh day of the fourth month; the fifth day of the fifth month and the third day of the sixth day; the first day and the twentieth day of the seventh month September; August 27th, September 25th, October 23rd, November 21st; December 19th. The origin of Yang Gong’s death day. Yang Junsong (834-906), whose name was Yi and whose courtesy name was Junsong. Titled "Poverty Relief", he was a native of Ganzhou. (Some say he was a native of Douzhou, but he was actually the governor of Ganzhou in the 43rd year of Qianlong's reign in the Qing Dynasty (1778).) "Local Chronicles" called "Ganzhou Prefecture Chronicles") as "Dou Chronicles", and Douzhou was mistakenly called "Dou Chronicles". In the sixth year of the reign of Wang Xianzhi (874), Huang Chao responded to the Gengzi reign of the Guangming Dynasty (880) and entered Chang'an (today's Xi'an). ) Yang Jiupong stole the "Secret Technique of Forbidden Jade Letters", which is Guo Pu's "Burial Book", and returned to Ganzhou to teach his apprentices in Yangxianling. Yang Junsong used Kanyu's techniques to make burials for countless poor people throughout his life. Fu, won the hearts of the people, and people respectfully called him Yang Jiupong. There are many legends in the life of Mr. Yang. He used the skills he learned to save kind and virtuous people from poverty. During this period, some bad people and evil people threatened Mr. Yang to seize land, but Mr. Yang refused. During this period, some politicians and evil people obtained the land. He did not reach the auspicious place he ordered, and during this period he harmed Duke Yang. He was killed thirteen times in his life. Because Duke Yang saved countless people and had profound merits, every time he was in danger, there was no danger. Therefore, Duke Yang had thirteen taboos. [Taboo: The taboo of death is that if you don’t see that someone’s elder has died, you will put a note with the word “Ji Zhong” on the door]. Yang Gong had thirteen taboos in his life, which means that evil people cannot find auspicious places, so they resort to various methods to harm them. He was killed, but due to the auspicious nature of man and nature, good deeds will surely prosper. Every time there was only a thrill, but no one killed him, so Yang Gong's three thousand disciples designated the thirteenth day of his death as the day of Yang Gong's death. During these thirteen days, his disciples refrained from offering blessings to others for burials and observed the taboos of their masters at home.

Everything is taboo on the day of Yang Gong's death. The gods stayed for 13 days, so you must prevent too many losses in your actions. All construction and construction will be doomed if it is not met by fire or robbery. It is not appropriate to get married, and it will be unlucky if it does not lead to death. If you are born on this day, , all the gains and losses from hard work. If the burial occurs on this day, the descendants of the descendants will be angry. The Shangguan will be appointed on this day, and the thief will be worried about the Lord being dismissed from his post. Knowing that it has been widely spread to others, the descendants will be prosperous. On the 13th of the first lunar month , February 11th, March 9th, April 7th, May 5th, June 2nd, July 1st and 29th. August 27th, September 25th, October 23rd, 11th The twenty-first day of the month, the nineteenth day of the twelfth lunar month. All things should be avoided on the day of the lunar month's death. The fifty-fourth and twenty-third day of the lunar month are in the world. From ancient times to the present, there have been written words, which are passed down by word of mouth without leisure. In the country where there is nothing to do, Li Yan went to the house to mourn Sanlang. On the fifth day of the month, he committed the death of his parents, so he was responsible for the death of the fourteenth day. Cao Cao's official affairs were all caused by the accident on the twenty-third day. Note: It is the fifth, fourteenth, and twentieth day of each month. The three days are all unlucky days. The death days of visiting a sick person are Renyin, Renwu and Gengwu, and Jiayin, Yi, Maoji and Maozha. The gods leave these six days for visiting people to die for the sick. "Yang Gong Ji" is taboo in the Yang family of the Song Dynasty. There are 13 days in a year. During these 13 days, there is no war. Because people respect the generals of the Yang family, many people continue to use it. It has become a custom over time. For example: if someone is born on a certain day when "Yang Gongji" is celebrated, it is inevitable that people will make irresponsible remarks. These 13 days are: January 1132 month 1113 month 94 month 7 month 5 month 37 month month 1 month 17 month 24 month 21 month 9 month 2 Shi 5 month 2 month There are two versions of Yang Gongji. One is to commemorate Yang Linggong and Yang Jiye, and the other is about myths and legends. (1) There is a legend about the death anniversary of Yang Gongji in various places. Most people know that on the 13th day of the first lunar month, people should avoid doing work or traveling. Why is this? Legend has it that Zhao Kuangyi, Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty, fell into the Liao Kingdom's plan and went to the North for talks. The generals of the Yang family, led by Yang Jiye, broke into Youzhou with seven men and eight tigers to escort the Northern Expedition. They marched to the front of Lianglang Mountain. Yang Jiye believed that this trip The soldier violated the taboo of place names, and his own surname was "Yang". When "sheep" met "wolf", and when he met two "wolves", it was difficult to win. He warned the officers and soldiers to be careful. As a result, during the war, they encountered an ambush and were defeated. On the beach, the Yang family will be seriously damaged.

The thirteenth day of the first lunar month is also called "Yang Gong Sacrifice". According to legend, it was the day when the old prince Yang Jiye died in battle, and everything was unfavorable. People use various forms to commend and commemorate his achievements. (2) Once upon a time, there was an old man named Yang, and his neighbors called him Mr. Yang. Yang Gong has 13 sons, all of whom are well-known in both civil and military affairs and are famous far and wide. When the Jade Emperor heard about it, he was very jealous because he had no son. On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, King Yama told the old man that according to the "Book of Life and Death", the old man would die one son every month, and all of them would die within one year. Yang Gong said that he had thirteen sons, and there were twelve months in the year. One son died every month, and there was still one left. How could he die for fun? As a result, starting from that day, King Yama asked Duke Yang to die one son every 28 days, all within one year. These thirteen days are the 13th of the first lunar month, the 11th of the second lunar month, the ninth of the third lunar month, the seventh of the fourth lunar month, and the fifth of the fifth lunar month. , June 3rd, July 1st, July 29th, August 27th, September 25th, October 23rd, November 21st, and December 19th. From now on, on these days, Yang Gong would offer sacrifices to his son, so later generations called the 13th day of the first lunar month and related days "Yang Gong Sacrifice". On the above-mentioned days, there are generally no large-scale celebrations, no weddings and funerals, and no traveling far away. "Yang Gong's Death Day" is also known as "Yang Gong's Thirteen Taboos". According to legend, it was established by Yang Junsong, a Feng Shui master in the Tang Dynasty.
