The feng shui balcony is high and the room is low.
In China's mythology, the black and white impermanence of the underworld is to attract ghosts after death. People have only one awe of black and white impermanence, and no one will ask what they represent. Heaven and earth change people's minds: the so-called "ghosts and gods" are just another state of existence of life. Black and white impermanence is also a kind of existence.
State.
What is impermanence? Impermanence refers to the messenger sent by the underworld who meets the dead between yin and yang.
Why is impermanence divided into black impermanence and white impermanence? Isn't it yellow impermanence and purple impermanence? 1 Black and white impermanence is not due to the difference of skin color or clothing color, but is called white impermanence and black impermanence. Black and white impermanence is only the representation of yin and yang, and "black" and "white" represent one yin and one yang, that is to say, black impermanence represents feminine body and white impermanence represents masculine body. This is also consistent with the black-and-white (black represents yin, white represents yang, and white represents yang) color contrast painting of yin-yang fish in Taiji diagram. It can be seen that the theory of impermanence can not be separated from Taiji diagram, and the theoretical basis of impermanence is the theory of Yin and Yang. Since ancient times, the colors of Tai Chi pictures are all black and white, and there are no other colors such as Rayna Sue. Therefore, when people describe things, it is impossible to deviate from the theory of Yin and Yang and describe impermanence as yellow impermanence and purple impermanence.
Why can't there be only one impermanence? Must be black and white?
First of all, what is a soul? What is spirit? According to the dictionary, the soul, an old superstition, refers to the spirit that can exist without the body. Spirit-superstition refers to the spirit attached to the form. Although people often associate souls to describe souls, in fact, the meanings of these two words are obviously quite different. First, the soul must leave the living body and exist independently. Spirit can only exist if it is attached to life, and it cannot be independent, otherwise it cannot be called spirit.
Secondly, both soul and spirit refer to a kind of spirit, which seems to be their similarity, but the meaning of the word "spirit" is too wide. If we subdivide it, we can find that the "spirit" referred to by soul and spirit is actually different. Soul refers more to soul. In addition to what people usually think of as the "material" of the soul after death, people often say that "teachers are engineers of the human soul", and the "soul" here refers more to thought and morality. There is another explanation for the soul in the dictionary-the most essential and important part of things. For example, Soul of the Nation, Soul of Dance and Soul of the Yellow River, here more embodies a kind of cohesion, a kind of spirit and an abstract life. There is another explanation of spirit in the dictionary-spirit and energy. The combination of words has boldness of vision, courage and sound physique. This "spirit" focuses more on energy than spirit. Heaven and earth are easy to believe, and God really means gas; Is the gas circulating in the human body; It is the spirit of the sun relative to the underworld; It is the qi that passes between meridians; It is the vitality of people mentioned in qigong; This is the spirit of the avenue. In the configuration table of Yin-Yang and Five Elements in Huangdi Neijing, God corresponds to the lung in the five organs and the nose in the five senses. Both lung and nose are related to breathing and qi. And in Huangdi Neijing, it is said that "God hides in the lungs". Therefore, the theory of breaking the spirit into the air is well founded. Third, from the above two points of reasoning,
After death, the soul will fly away and leave the human body; And the spirit is scattered with people's death, without attachment and operation; So there are idioms such as "out of your mind" and "out of your mind", but you don't say "out of your mind"
Fourth: Everything has Yin and Yang, so which is Yin, soul and spirit? Which one is Yang? People often say that "ghosts never leave the body", and the soul should naturally be cloudy. I haven't heard anyone say "the soul of the sun never leaves" However, spirit is not a ghost. When a person dies, it is often said that the yang god is scattered, and naturally it is yang. At first glance, it seems reasonable, but in fact, it is not! Soul and spirit cannot judge whether it is yin or yang in an independent and single state. Because the primitive existence of soul and spirit can not be separated from life, whether it is human, animal or plant, it is all life. It is absolutely wrong to talk about soul and spirit alone without life, whether it is yin or yang.
The yin-yang attribute of spirit should be consistent with the yin-yang attribute of life. For example, a man belongs to Yang, his spirit is Yang, and a woman is Yin. This is why when reading palms, men should look at their left hands and women should look at their right hands. When arranging the eight-character Universiade, it is only a matter of "spirit" that men should follow the yin and women should follow the yang. The yin-yang property of the soul is just the opposite of the yin-yang property of the living body. For example, men belong to Yang, the soul is Yin, women belong to Yin, and the soul is Yang.
Why do you say that? In order to explain Yin and Yang more intuitively, they are represented by positive and negative charges, with positive charges representing Yang and negative charges representing Yin. According to the principle of like-sex repulsion and opposite-sex attraction, and the principle of yin-yang and five elements, we can deduce that:
Male: Yang body = Yang spirit+ghost.
Female: Yin body = Yin soul+Yang soul
Yang body is life, which is equivalent to Tai Chi, while Yang qi and ghosts are equivalent to Yin (ghost) and Yang qi. One yin and one yang is the way! So that the yin and yang state of men and women can be balanced. When a person's body dies, the soul will leave the body and enter another space (usually called the underworld). If you want to enter this space, there must be an indirect "matter" to receive the soul, and this "matter" is impermanence. At this time, the function of black and white impermanence began to play a role. Black impermanence is the representative of femininity, white impermanence is the representative of masculinity, and the human soul is divided into yin and yang. When the human soul leaves the body, the male ghost (negative charge) is attracted and captured by the impermanent positive charge. The masculine soul of women (positive charge) is attracted and captured by the impermanence of femininity (negative charge). The principle that impermanence fixes the soul on itself is that the same sex repels and the opposite sex attracts. The legendary ghost sees black and white impermanence and just can't act. In fact, it is attracted by a powerful force.
If impermanence has only a neutral structure, then no matter what the characteristics of the soul and the yin and yang, it can't interact with impermanence and can't be absorbed and captured by impermanence. Therefore, impermanence must have two attributes of yin and yang, namely black and white.
Why does it have to be black and white when people are dead? If a person's ghost is attracted by impermanence, impermanence is obviously useless. White impermanence can solve the problem by one person. Why should two people come and go at the same time? The previous article only talked about the relationship between soul and impermanence, not about spirit. As we all know, the soul flies and dies, while the soul flies and scatters. In fact, it is saying that both soul and soul leave the human body. To fly is to be attracted and captured by impermanence. The spirit will disperse, that is, the spirit will no longer gather in the body and be sucked away by external forces, and the body of the spirit will dissolve. And distracting thoughts also depend on impermanence. Its principle is still that like-sex repulsion and opposite-sex attraction. Yang (positive charge) will attract each other when it meets black impermanence (negative charge), and "Qi" will be sucked away from the human body and eventually dissipated. In the same way, the yin spirit can only dissipate when it encounters impermanence. That is to say:
For men, white impermanence sucks the ghost, while black impermanence scatters the yang;
For women, black impermanence absorbs their yang souls, while white impermanence dispels their ghosts.
So be black and white at the same time.
Don't be afraid of black and white impermanence. It's not a bad thing to be quoted by them, which shows that you are still in a relatively advanced cycle and have not become a legendary lonely soul.
Of course, people still don't want to be led by black and white impermanence. What more people expect is the introduction of Buddha, Yue Xian and Lotus, and the bliss of jumping out of reincarnation. But the proportion that can reach this level is too low after all. But this does not hinder people's yearning. On the contrary, more and more people are working hard for it.
The origin of black and white impermanence
In the famous ghost town, there are two small gods that often appear, one is white impermanence and the other is black impermanence. What do these two gods do?
White impermanence and black impermanence, also known as impermanence Sir Zhong, are gods who specialize in catching evil spirits. Black impermanence is one of the top ten beauties. Bai impermanence always smiles and wears a long hat that says "you are here"; Black impermanence has a lost expression and wears a long hat that says "I'm arresting you". Why is impermanence black and white? Think about it for several reasons: First, many gods in religion are human beings. You can't just have one department a day to catch evil spirits, you have to take turns. Otherwise, a god can't stand in this position for a long time. So, one during the day and one at night; Secondly, from the perspective of black and white yin and yang, it conforms to the Taoist theory of yin and yang; Thirdly, from the analysis of many folk stories, Bai impermanence mostly punishes people who are "unworthy", while Black impermanence specializes in catching evil spirits with chains and fetters.
Tian Zi Temple, a famous mountain in Fengdu, has an impermanent master; There is an impermanent idol and his wife in the impermanent temple; There are impermanent couples in the "City God Temple". White impermanence has a wife, and black impermanence has an impermanent woman.
There is a typical story about impermanence. One year in Tomb-Sweeping Day, Bai Biao was crossing the road and saw a woman with two children crying in front of a grave. She was very sad. I saw an old man not far away shaking his head and sighing, very sympathetic. Bai impermanence asked the old man, only to know that this woman was greatly wronged.
It turns out that this woman surnamed Chen is the third daughter of a wealthy businessman. The rich businessman has a lot of money, but his son is unfortunate. He only gave birth to three daughters, all of whom are pockmarked so far. My mother blamed herself and loved her when she saw her third daughter infected with smallpox. She died last year.
Chen Jiayou has a buddy named Auda, who is honest on the surface and very calculating in his heart. He thinks that Miss Chen San is a pockmarked girl, and the son of a rich family will definitely not want her. It is better to seduce her as a wife, and when her father dies, this rich family will not belong to him!
Then miss Chen San said that many marriages were because of that pockmarked face, and she didn't want it once. When she saw that Auda was strong and made her father like her, they flirted with each other and soon became lovers in private. A few months later, Miss Chen San's belly became bigger and bigger. Miss Chen San's father had to let Ao Daizuo be his son-in-law. After Oda really became a son-in-law, his father-in-law made him a manager, and he had the final say in everything in the family. Gradually, Auda became more and more disrespectful to her father-in-law, smoking wine outside and whoring with women; When he went home, Miss Chen San persuaded him to humiliate Miss Chen San. Master Chen is ill and angry. The more you gamble at night.
Bai impermanence was very angry at the old man's words and decided to teach him a lesson and give Miss Chen San a way out.
He followed Miss Chen San home. There happened to be a gambler to collect gambling debts. At first glance, it's a big deal. You have to pay him one hundred and twenty pieces of silver. Seeing no one at home, the gambler wanted to be rude with Miss Chen San in his arms, and was suddenly slapped three times. Miss Chen San pushed the gambler away, fled into the back room, plugged in the door, and was really overwhelmed. She hanged herself with a rope. She hung a rope and broke a rope, which made her feel very strange. She opened the door and carried her two children into the house. Miss Chen San smiled kindly and was not afraid.
White impermanence said, "Why commit suicide? You might as well pack up the money you left at home and go somewhere else. You have to raise your two children! " "Miss Chen San listened to the white impermanence and left with two children. After Miss Chen San left, Chen Jia's four shops caught fire at the same time. That Aoda was holding a girl in Chunxiangyuan, smoking a big cigarette, and when he got home, all his belongings were burned out.
There are many legends about black impermanence, and one is typical. Legend has it that there were two fathers and sons. My son likes leisure since childhood and hates work, smoking and gambling. The father is very strict, but the son just won't listen. Once, my son came back from gambling and lost everything. The father accidentally killed his son. After the death of his son, his bad habits remain unchanged, and ghosts still do evil and harm people on earth.
A few years later, one night, my son came outside his house. When he was about to enter the house, the dogs in the yard kept barking. Knowing that another ghost was coming to harm people, his father left the room with a knife in one hand and a tung oil lamp in the other. Seeing his father's ferocity, his son jumped into the house and said, "Father, this child didn't come to harm anyone. He just wanted to come back and see your old man."
My father said, "You do evil in the world, and even after you die, your neighbors are not clean.". After I accidentally killed you, I still felt bad for a long time. It is not difficult for me to continue to do evil. "
The son said, "What you said is really reasonable. My son found out now and vowed not to do evil again. He will definitely turn over a new leaf and return to the afterlife to repay his kindness. "
Father said, "That's good, otherwise it's hard for father to see the villagers."
The son said, "Dad, don't worry. From now on, my son is tortured and will never visit your old man again. " Take care, father. "
Since then, my son has really never harmed anyone again. He went to the eighteenth floor of hell to be punished. On the eighteenth floor of hell, he suffered a lot before he realized the value of life. Those evil things he did in the past are really guilty.
On one occasion, King Guang of Qin summoned him in Yamaraja, the Tenth Hall, and said, "Why don't you double the body back to Yang?"
He said: "I have done bad things that thousands of people hate to scold in my last life." Everywhere I go, people kill me with knives and sticks. Doing evil is really reviling. I want to be a good person again. "
Qin Guang said, "It seems that you are really an evil ghost who can turn evil into good. I tell you, if you are a good ghost for another three years, I will seal you up on a cloudy day. "
Three years later, the Ten Halls of Hades summoned him again and said, "In the past three years, you have really changed from evil to good and done a lot of good things. I've reported to Yin Yunzhun that I've made you a reward and punishment officer, specializing in catching ghosts. "
Since then, he has been wearing black linen clothes, patrolling around in the middle of the night and making unannounced visits. He rewarded Yin for his good deeds and evil deeds, and arrested many evil spirits.
Whether impermanence Sir Zhong belongs to Taoism, Buddhism or folk belief is hard to say, probably because both Taoism and Buddhism believe in these two gods, but Buddhist temples offer the most sacrifices.
