Thousands of years ago, there were records about Tai Sui in China's ancient book Shan Hai Jing. In Shan Hai Jing, Tai Sui is also called "seeing meat", "gathering meat" and "the meat". You see, everyone has the word meat, which means edible. According to Shan Hai Jing, "seeing meat" first appeared in front of ancient tombs, and it was an item that ancient emperors liked to eat before their death. It has the characteristics of "eat up and get it back" and "eat one piece after another", that is to say, it can grow again after eating one piece.
In ancient times, tai sui was regarded as the medicine of immortality. According to Qin Shihuang's Biography, after Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, the emperor who was the king of one country heard that there was an elixir in the East that could make you live forever. So in the 28th year of Qin Dynasty, he personally led a team to the East to find the elixir of life. He came to Langya Town, Shandong Province, visited the famous alchemist Xu Fu and ordered him to find a way to live forever. Chui fook immediately led thousands of boys and girls running around and came to Penglai, Shandong Province to look for fairy medicine. So Xu Fu built a boat and led 3000 boys and girls across Fusang from Dapeng Mountain in Zhejiang to Yingzhou and Fusang (the Japanese archipelago) in ancient times, and continued to look for that kind of fairy medicine. It is said that the fairy medicine that Qin Shihuang asked Xu Fu to look for was the traditional Ganoderma lucidum.
There is also a record in Xuanshiji: Xiaomou, a native of Lanling, can't study, can't farm, and go into business. One day, Fu Xiao built a house and dug out Tai Sui in the yard. He looks like a human hand, fat and slippery, and his face is reddish. He is very worried. He has heard that if he collides with Tai Sui, there will be disaster, but he has heard that eating Tai Sui can avoid disaster.
So he got up the courage to cook it and ate it. Because it was delicious, there was nothing left. In the next few years, not only did he not encounter any disasters, but he became alert and cheerful, and he also grew new hair, which greatly rejuvenated him. A few years later, I met a stranger and said to him, "You eat Ganoderma lucidum, just like a turtle crane, but it is not suitable for living in the world." Retire from the mountains and give up personnel disputes, and you can become immortal. "
In Compendium of Materia Medica, Li Shizhen called it "Zhi" in the "vegetable" department of Rouzhi, and it was also called "the top grade of this classic" with the Ganoderma lucidum we saw. Compendium of Materia Medica also lists several prescriptions focusing on "treatment", indicating that they have special curative effects on some difficult diseases, and their common characteristics are: "Long-term eating, strengthening the body and prolonging life". And because it has the characteristics of spontaneous growth, it is more precious. So emperors of all ages tried their best to find it. It is said that the story of the ancient emperor looking for Ganoderma lucidum is most famous. Qin Shihuang sent Xu Fu to lead thousands of boys and girls to find medicine.
There is a saying in Compendium of Materia Medica that gravy is like meat, so the shape inside is reflected in many textures, which is consistent with some structures of some muscle bundles on the side. "Compendium of Materia Medica" once recorded colors, including the saying that "yellow people are like purple and gold", so this can also be reflected in the color of the surface, and there is also the saying that "they are as sharp as soldiers". Then we can also see that there are some very white structures on the faults inside, which is also in line with the records in Compendium of Materia Medica. In addition, there is a sentence in Shan Hai Jing, which is quite similar to Biemabo. Puffball is a bread-like fungus.
Tai sui (also known as Tai sui) is an imaginary star in ancient astronomy and astrology in China, which runs contrary to Jupiter. Later it evolved into a belief in the gods. Legend has it that where Tai Sui runs, there will be a meat in the corresponding direction, which is the embodiment of Tai Sui Star. If you break ground here, it will disturb Tai Sui, so you can't break ground on Tai Sui's head.
origin
During the Warring States Period, there seems to be a kind of "Chronology of Ages", that is, the position of Ages in the sky is used to indicate the year, and every year has a period of 12, which is used for astrological calculation in ancient times.
At first, because people looked up to observe the movement of celestial bodies, the geographical orientation used to express it was often the opposite of that used in life.
There will be mistakes in the operation of Lao Xing. The star of the year is Jupiter, which travels at 3 1 degree every year (1 day, period of revolution of Jupiter is 398.88 days) and orbits the sky once a year, 1 1.86 years. If the unit is 12 years, there will be a difference of 1 year every 86 years, which is called "the year of the year". This error is very troublesome and will lead to inaccurate astrology.
In order to avoid mistakes, in the middle and late Warring States period, astrologers designed the perfect Tai Sui star. Tai sui is an imaginary star transformed from an old star. Tai sui was designated to rotate in the same direction as the five planets. Therefore, when people use the timetable of Tai Sui, the movement direction of Tai Sui is consistent with geographical habits (north to south, left to west, right to east). In addition, it is stipulated that Tai Sui walks 30 degrees every year (1 Chen), and 12 just circles around the sky, so it can be used to date more accurately (later evolved into the trunk branch dating method, which is still in use today), and more importantly, there will be no error.
"Continuation of Wen Tong Kao, Examination Paper of Rural Society 1900": "Tai Sui is the God 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. " The ancients divided Sunday into twelve segments, each corresponding to a branch of the earth, called once. Jupiter orbits the sun once every twelve years, which is roughly once a year.
believe
Tai sui first appeared in Xun zi ru Xiao, and the belief of avoiding Tai sui was differentiated from the study of avoiding the old and occupying the stars. These two beliefs were often confused during the Warring States period, and it was not until after the Han Dynasty that they were gradually clarified.
In ancient times, Tai Sui was regarded as the king. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Wang Chong said in Lun Heng, "Tai Sui means as long as an official heart." Liu Renda of Zhu Bi in the Southern Song Dynasty said: "The emperor is doomed to be too old, and the queen is doomed to be too old." A brief summary was made in the prescription of Ji Bian in Qing Dynasty: "Tai sui, Jun Ru, whose prescription is solid in Kyrgyzstan, is also a people who dare to use it." Tai sui is a noble god, and its position is noble and auspicious, of course, but the people in CoCo Lee have to avoid it because the position where Tai sui is located is too noble, so as to conform to the status of ranking.
Tai sui is not a fierce god, but a patron saint. The Ming Dynasty's "Three Commandments" said: "It's really too old, also known as the toe-turning evil spirit. Need Universiade and Tai Sui, its year is auspicious; If you punish and break the harm, you will fight fiercely with Tai Sui. " It is auspicious to be in harmony with Tai Sui, but it is fierce on the contrary. Yuan Shushan (188 1-? ) said: "The husband is too old, supreme, not evil." .
The Book of Jieji Frontier Defense in the Qing Dynasty also said: "Li Guangsheng said: Those who break the old age can't build, move, marry or travel far away, and offenders will mainly harm their parents at the expense of money. Only war is beneficial. ..... It is said that the year-end break is the most fierce god, and the Li Guangsheng cloud "Auspicious War" covers the year-end break, that is, sitting in the position of the year-end break and the enemy is broken, while Tai Sui uses the year-end break. " As long as you sit in the lion's den (that is, with your back to the lion's den) and let the enemy face the lion's den, then the enemy will fall into a "broken year" situation. Therefore, it goes without saying that those who carry the lion's den are lucky and those who face the lion's den are fierce. From the above discussion, as long as we follow the rule of "right back punishment, left front morality", we can be in a favorable position. If you don't follow this rule, after the arrangement and combination of front, back, left and right, it will gradually change from good to bad, with "Zuo De's execution" as the most fierce, but later the auspicious side of the prince was ignored and turned into a fierce god.
