Sparse prose is a letter that mortals pray for immortals, which means a bridge between immortals and mortals.
in a narrow sense, sparse prose is a letter that mortals pray to the immortals on top of various dharma meetings and rituals, and it is a bridge between immortals and mortals. Broadly speaking, all the letters that worship the gods and buddhas, the heavens and the earth and the ancestors belong to sparse letters, which are a bridge between heaven and the earth, the immortal, and the yin and yang, and a formal proclamation to worship the gods and buddhas and the ancestors of heaven.
the word "sparse text" is also called "sparse text", "superficial text" and "sparse text between heaven and earth", which can be subdivided into "chapter table", "wish text", "mourning chapter", "superficial text" and "hanging words" and so on. The formal prose format is generally kept by the master for his own use. I hope that everyone can use all kinds of special prose to transport, pray for wealth and ask God to send Buddha.
The origin of sparse prose
Sparse prose originated from Taoism and was first used only in Taoism. To put it simply, sparse writing is a letter that mortals pray for the gods, and its function is similar to that of letters between people. Sparse prose is the expression of language information of praying for the gods and worshiping the gods and ancestors, and it is the reason why people pray for themselves, and through worshipping, they think about the blessings of the gods.
Books are to paper, and they are to post letters. After incineration, the priests made contributions to Cao Cao and Feiyun presented them to the Buddha. Then reach the heaven, build a bridge between immortals and mortals, so as to communicate the wishes expressed by man and God and realize the purpose people pray for. The earliest application of Taoist prose originated from ancient times, when the Emperor offered sacrifices to heaven and earth, or offered sacrifices to five mountains and four blasphemies. The ancestor Tianshi of the Eastern Han Dynasty inherited and applied the original model of the ritual of offering sacrifices to heaven, earth and water.
