Seven-star lamp in classical novels
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang has reached the last moment of this chapter. His heart is still filled with Liu Bei's entrustment and concern for the great cause of reviving the Han Dynasty, so he is full of disappointment for the world.
His disciple Jiang Wei advised him to save his fate by praying for a long life, with the following plot:
Mid-Autumn Festival in August, Galactic Night. High curative value is zero, the standard does not move, and Diao Dou is silent. Jiang Wei led 49 people to guard outside the account. Kong Ming set up a fragrant flower sacrifice in his tent. There are 7 headlights on the ground, 49 small lights outside, and a monument lamp at the core of life inside. ..... The next day, the director for the disabled vomited blood. Consider military aircraft during the day and step by step at night.
Sima Yi looked up at the starry sky and knew that Zhuge Liang was going to die soon, but he was not convinced, so Xia Houba led the troops to explore.
Unexpectedly, Wei delayed thinking that he had robbed the village, and hurried to the tent to report that he had trampled out the lamp of the life core monument.
Zhuge Liang threw a sword and sighed: life and death have a life, and you can't pull it.
Jiang Wei tried to behead Wei Yan, but Zhuge Liang stopped him and said, "Sima Yi didn't rob the village, but he asked me if I was alive or dead."
Zhuge Liang died in the army after telling the funeral.
Zhuge Liang's seven-star life continuation method failed. According to Zhuge Liang, "If the main light doesn't go out within seven days, my life can be increased by one year" (one year is 12 years).
It's a pity that this magical technique failed. Seeing this, some people will ask, has anyone succeeded in renewing their lives in this way?
There really is.
It is said that Liu Bowen, a strategist of Zhu Yuanzhang, is also a man of God who knows about 500 years ago and 500 years later, and people are still reading his prophetic work Song of Pancakes.
Liu Bowen strategized and assisted Zhu Yuanzhang to achieve the emperor's hegemony and Daming's rule over the world for 276 years. Liu Bowen worked hard in the process of assisting Zhu Yuanzhang, and once felt that his life was not long. He also used the magic of the seven-star lamp to prolong his life. According to legend, his life has really been extended by one year.
Later generations lamented the difference in opportunities between Zhuge Liang and Liu Bowen, which led to "Zhuge Liang divided the world into three parts and Liu Bowen unified the Central Plains".
The principle of seven-star longevity extension-the southern bucket is the main life, and the big dipper is the main death.
From the details of Zhuge Liang's extending his life with seven-star lights:
First, the number of headlights is seven; Second, there are life lights in it, and third, it is necessary to "step by step" at night.
A little analysis of these three pieces of information will reveal that they are all closely related to the Big Dipper: the seventh is the number of the Big Dipper, and the "stepping bucket" directly tells the relationship with the Big Dipper, and China's belief in lanterns, the core of life, is also closely related to the Big Dipper.
