2. The origin of the traditional "Ying Laoye" in Chaoshan.
Chaozhou people mainly go to temples to worship gods.
But it is strange to say that when Chaoshan people go to temples to offer incense, they generally do not call it worshiping gods, but call it "worshiping the master". There is a difference between "worshiping the master" and "worshiping gods" among fashionable people. It is only called "worshiping gods" and "thanking gods" at the end of the lunar calendar year when they pay tribute to gods.
To study its origin, we must start from the ancient books. The people of Chaoshan have believed in many gods since ancient times. There are temples in every village, especially in the larger villages and towns in the plains, there are more temples.
Most of the idols enshrined in the temple are carved from wood. The larger ones are larger than the human body and are painted with gold. The smaller ones are only one or two feet or even a few inches tall. Their faces, hands and clothes are all Painted. The temple is collectively known as "Laoye Palace" in Chaozhou folklore.
The larger one has a hall patio, with "dragon and tiger" wall sculptures on both sides of the patio. There are also various patterns carved or inlaid on the eaves and temple ridges, including dragons, phoenixes, carps, figures, plays, etc. decorate. The small temple is only as wide as a small hut, with a shrine and a table in the center.
There is also a smaller model-style palace with small idols inside and people praying outside. The gods believed in by Chaozhou people include gods from myths and stories, gods from historical figures, gods connected with people from other places, and gods unique to the place. The commonly believed temple gods include: Xuantian God, Tianhou Madonna (also known as Tianhou Madonna) Mazu), Empress Mercy, Empress Zhusheng, Emperor Baosheng, True Lord, Seven Saints, Three Righteous Emperors (i.e. Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei), Hua Gong Hua Ma, Master Fu (also known as Tu Tu Ye, Tu Tu Uncle) , the God of Houtu), the King of the Three Mountains (also known as the prince, the God of the Earth in the village), the Mukeng Saint King, the Wind and Rain Saint, Wenchang Ye, Kuixing Ye, the Prince... Chaozhou City also has the prominent Anji Saint King. .
Various industries also have various names of gods and set up their own small shrines to worship them. After liberation, superstition was eradicated, idols in various temples were burned, and temples were used for other purposes or demolished.
In the past ten years or so, some old temples have been rebuilt as cultural relics and become local attractions. There are no less than a hundred kinds of gods worshiped by Chaoshan people, but the land god is the most popular. Regardless of the size of the village community, there must be an earth temple; when building a tomb, a small tablet with the word "earth god" (or the word "福神") must be placed on the side of the tomb.
This kind of land god originated from the ancient Tianshe God and Sheji God. In rural areas of Chaoshan, the "King of Three Mountains" is also enshrined and regarded as the greatest god of good fortune.
Zheng Changshi of the Qing Dynasty said in "Hanjiang Wenjianlu·Three Mountain Kings": "The Three Mountain Kings are the gods of good fortune in the tide." This is the unique and most worshiped local patron saint of the tideland; it is commonly known as "The King of the Three Mountains". "Lord Lord".
Whenever someone dies in the village, the descendants or family members will go to Ditou Temple to report the death, which is called "reporting to Ditou". The land god is also widely worshiped among urban residents.
Paste a piece of red paper on an inconspicuous corner of the wall with the words "Landlord God Tablet" as the God Tablet. On every first and fifteenth day of the lunar calendar or major folk festivals, incense must be burned and sacrifices made.
The so-called master originally refers to the officials in the old days.
Volume 5 of Wang Yingkui's "Liu Nan Essays": "In the pre-Ming Dynasty, the Jin gentry only called Jiuqing Laoye, Ci Lin called Laoye, foreign ministers and above were called Laoye, Yu Zhi was called Ye, and the villagers just called Laoye."
In the Qing Dynasty, officials above the fourth rank were called adults, and those below the fifth rank were called masters. In the old days, nobles were also called masters, and servants called their masters also called masters.
The temples in Chaoshan are commonly known as Laoye Palaces, and the "masters" they worship are actually officials and celebrities who have benefited the people in history or legend. The masters mentioned here are actually people who have status in the hearts of the people.
However, due to thousands of years of folk worship and deification, as well as the noise and use of rulers in the past, the worship of the master and its place (the Laoye Palace) have been covered with a mysterious veil. Today, when science and technology are highly developed, it is necessary to inspect and study it, lift the veil, and restore its true historical appearance.
1. Sanshan King Temple. The three mountain gods Jin, Ming and Du are worshiped.
The earliest Sanshan King Temple is the Lintian Ancestral Temple in Hepo Town, Jiexi County. In addition, there are Sanshan King Temples in various counties in Chaoshan, Taiwan, and Southeast Asian countries.
2. Earth Temple. Commonly known as Tu Tu Gong Temple, commonly known as Fude Temple, it worships the god of earth.
According to folklore, the land god is the god who manages the land, that is, the social god. 3. Yuxian Temple.
Worship the rain god. According to legend, there was a child prodigy in the Song Dynasty, Sun Daozhe, who helped the people with rain and eliminated disasters, and was revered as the God of Rain.
There are Yuxian temples in Jiedong, Chao'an, Chaoyang and Raoping counties. In particular, the "Wind and Rain Saint Temple" in Yuluo Town, Jiedong County, Jieyang City is more famous because it is related to the patriotic poet Xie Ao of the Southern Song Dynasty.
Xie Ao (1249-1295), whose courtesy name was Gaoyu, was named Xifazi, and his posthumous title was Legenggong. He was not only a great patriotic poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, but also a national hero who resisted the Yuan Dynasty.
At the same time, he is also the ancestor of more than 200,000 residents with the surname Xie in Jieyang City and even in eastern Guangdong. Xie Ao was originally from Changxi, Fujian Province. His ancestor Xie Bangyan was a famous poet in the Song Dynasty. His father Xie Yue wrote "Spring and Autumn Annals" and "Zuo Shi Dialectics" which were passed down to the world.
In the second year of Xianchun (1266), the second year of Emperor Duzong of the Song Dynasty, Xie Ao moved to Lin'an with his father. At the age of 17, he was already good at poetry and prose, and had a good reputation. In June of the 10th year of Xianchun (1274), the reign of Emperor Duzong of the Song Dynasty, Emperor Shizu of the Yuan Dynasty issued an edict to attack the Song Dynasty.
In July of the first year of Jingyan, Duanzong of the Song Dynasty (1276), Wen Tianxiang opened his government in Nanjian Prefecture (the state is now located in Nanping City, Fujian Province) and called on all parties to raise troops to protect the Song Dynasty. Xie Ao was so patriotic and indignant that he spent all his family's money to go to the country during the national calamity. He led his villagers to defect to Wen Tianxiang and was appointed as a "counselor to join the army". Xie Ao was 27 years old at the time.
In the second year of Jingyan (1277), Xie Ao accompanied Wen Tianxiang to escort Song Emperor Bing, sailed south, entered Zhangzhou, restored Mei County, and attacked Chaoyang. At that time, Xie Ao's wife Wu, who came with the army, was pregnant. Soon she gave birth to a son in a boat on the Houjiang River in Chaoyang, named Huaihu and Zuixian.
Later, in the battles in Jieyang, Haifeng and other places, Wen Tianxiang fell into the hands of the enemy. ★ ★★ ★★ ★ ★★ ★★ ★ ★★ ★★ ★ ★★ ★★ ★ ★ Bamboo slips are affectionate, carefully crafted, and every word is written into the wood, showing creativity and passed down through the ages---------- -------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------☆☆☆☆★★Personality *Gift*Customized*Net★★☆☆★★Sheng*Jing*Bamboo*Art*Fang★★☆☆★★★★★★★★★★★★☆☆-----Baidu Search : Shengjing Bamboo Art Workshop---------☆☆★★★★.
3. Introduction to Ying Laoye
Ying Laoye is a Han folk sacrificial activity in the Chaoshan area of ??Guangdong. Ying Shen Ying is a Chaoshan dialect word. In this phrase, it The ancient meanings of Huihuan ("Hanshu Yanzhu") and Jinyu ("Wenxuanxue") are retained. The sacrifice to Qi of the Shang God is called "Ying Da Lao Ye" because during the sacrifice process, there must be a ceremony of the earth god patrolling the earth's environment.
4. The origin of the traditional "Ying Laoye" in Chaoshan
In the first month of every year, the people in Chaoshan area hold a large-scale temple fair called "Ying Laoye".
Chaoshan "Ying Laoye" usually starts on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year. The gods believed by Chaoshan people include the "Emperor of the Three Mountains", "Tu Gong", "Uncle", "Emperor", "Prince", "Empress", "Princess", "Mazu" and so on.
The days of "Master Ying" vary from village to village and are generally inherited from ancestors. On the days of "Ying Lao Ye", villagers from all over the country stay up all night. They move their offerings early to the square table in front of the ancestral hall where they "worship the master", also called "Putting God in front of the God".
On the day of "Ying Lao Ye", offerings such as chickens, geese, ducks, sweet fruits (rice cakes), incense candles, "money", fireworks, firecrackers, etc. are placed in front of the "Lao Ye" god early in the morning. A sea of ??sacrifices formed in front of the gods, how spectacular! The most eye-catching thing before the gods is that those "rich men" who have made a fortune, in order to thank the "master", specially ask people to make large firecrackers that cannot be surrounded by several people, and large incense that can burn for several days and nights.
In order to show their great respect for "Master" and a holy heart, the aunts and grandmothers in the countryside will put a few red flowers (pomegranate flowers) and fairy grass on the sacrifices in front of "Master".
When the "Ying Laoye" officially begins, it is led by the elderly in the village (the boss of the village), and the young people in the village carry the "Master", and the Chaozhou gongs and drums team (there will be two in the village) Under the escort of three groups of gongs and drums, we traveled through the entire countryside and finally returned to the gods in the countryside. It was considered complete. The route of "Ying Laoye" is very particular. Which road and lane the "Master" passes first means the strength of the "household (share)" in the village, so he will follow the route set by his ancestors to avoid "households". The discord between "feet" and "feet".
In addition, the "master" generally cannot be carried across the boundary of the neighboring village, otherwise it will be considered as deliberately invading the other country, which may easily cause trouble. Every year in Chaoshan area, fights between townships due to "Ying Laoye" occur frequently.
During the days of "Ying Laoye", large rural areas would invite theater troupes to entertain the "Master". Wealthy villages will hire a Teochew opera troupe, while poorer ones will hire a troupe that plays lip-syncing tapes. I heard that the cost is much cheaper.
Small villages will invite movie screening teams to show movies for several nights. Some villages also invite "paper shadow" classes to make "paper shadows", puppets, etc. In addition to the generous donation from the boss, the remaining expenses for the "Ying Laoye" are "tied money" (raised funds) by each household. After the "Ying Laoye" is over, the elderly principals in the village will post an announcement in front of the ancestral hall, announcing all the expenses. The money for the questions and the fees paid for the "Ying Master" activity will be announced to everyone to show fairness.
Many villages will invite many relatives and friends to the village on the day of "Ying Master". It is said that the "Ying Master" in the countryside, the more guests a house has, it proves that the owner of that house is more respectable and the family of that house is more prosperous.
The night of "Ying Master" is the night of young people. Young people in the countryside will move the fireworks and firecrackers at home to the fireworks and firecrackers shed specially built for the "Ying Master" in the village. The fireworks and firecrackers in the village will not stop all night long, resounding all night long.
"Ying Laoye" is a folk custom in the Chaoshan area. It was discontinued during the Cultural Revolution when "the Four Olds were destroyed and the Four New" were established. At that time, people could only worship secretly at home during the "Ying Master" day.
After the "reform and opening up", as the living standards of the people have improved day by day, traditional folk activities such as "Ying Laoye" have become more and more lively year by year. Although the traditional activity of "Ying Laoye" has a certain superstitious color, the people mostly do it to celebrate the harvest and pray for good weather in the coming year.
"Ying Laoye" is actually a manifestation of the peace of the country and the people, and it is also the essence of Chaoshan culture. To protect copyright, reposting is prohibited.
5. Composition by a master from the sixth grade Shantou Chaoshan Kunmeiying School
Autumn is the most beautiful season in my heart; although it is not as colorful as spring; it is not as green as summer. ; There is no whiteness in winter! But it is the season of harvest and fragrance!
I love the autumn harvest. The autumn wind decorated the fields with colorful colors, painted the sorghum ears golden yellow; dyed the apples in the orchard pink; and changed the grapes into violet. The red tassels of the corn sticks have all dried up, and only the unripe "big blind" tassels here are still red.
I love the colorful colors of autumn. Look, a touch of purple here, a touch of yellow there, yellow and purple dotted with green! Late autumn, gorgeous late autumn, it mixes gold and purple with the still vivid remaining green, as if the sunlight has melted into drops and loomed in the dense trees, like a shy little girl.
I love the remaining leaves of autumn. The withered yellow leaves of the sycamore and locust trees were picked up by the wind and turned somersaulting in the air, like a naughty child. When it was about to fall, it was picked up by the autumn wind, spinning in the air and slowly falling. Some fallen leaves are used as organic fertilizers, and some fallen leaves are blown by the wind to the river and become boats for little ants...
I love autumn! I love the harvest of autumn, the richness of autumn, and the remaining leaves of autumn. How I wish I could keep autumn here!
6. The origin of Chaozhou Youshen Tournament (Ying Laoye)
Origin:
According to legend, the Holy King of Anji is the statue of the king and his wife during the Three Kingdoms period. Wang and his wife were Shu Han people. They accompanied Zhuge Liang in his expedition to Yunnan, and later served as the governor of Yongchang County in Yunnan Province. During their reign, they cared about the people's welfare, governed with integrity, and protected the territory and borders. When they died in office, local people built a shrine to worship them.
In the early Qing Dynasty, a man named Xie Chao who held an official position in Yunnan was framed. Wang and his wife saved him. The Xie family was grateful for his kindness and brought back statues of the king and his wife, and built a temple on the south embankment of Chaozhou City to worship him. The Holy King of Anji ate a piece of incense and protected his people, which was quite miraculous.
It is said that once during the flood season, the Hanjiang River surged, the floods were surging, and the south embankment was in emergency. A group of green snakes gathered in front of the temple. The Han River slowly receded, and the embankment was in danger. The elders in the city believed that this was King Anji showing his sage, incarnating himself to retreat water and protect the environment and the people. So the temple was expanded, the god's body was rebuilt into a larger body, and worship was performed solemnly.
Extended information
Festival culture
Chaoshan festival culture is deeply influenced by the belief in the mythical concept of destiny. The four seasons and eight festivals have their own objects: such as On the first day of the first lunar month, we worship the God of Heaven, on the 15th day of the Lantern Festival, on the 15th day of the lunar month, we worship the God of the Sun, on the 9th day of the 9th month, we worship the Sun God, on the 15th day of the 10th month, we pay homage to the Lord of Grain, Shennong, on the 11th day of the lunar month, we worship the gods and ancestors, and on the 24th day of the twelfth month (small year) ) God went to heaven, worshiped the Kitchen God, and offered sacrifices to all the gods on December 30th.
However, although there are many objects for worshiping gods and the festivals and customs vary from place to place, there are two things that are the same. First, during festivals, when worshiping gods as usual, ancestors are also worshiped.
From the Spring Festival to New Year's Eve, worshiping ancestors is an important part of the festival culture. On the first day of the new year, "New Year's Day, people get up in the morning to worship their ancestors, burn candles and incense, and serve tea, fruit, wine, and food. Everyone pays homage to their parents, and the elders and younger ones worship each other in order" (Jiaqing's "Chenghai County Chronicles"). The second is to pay special attention to the transcendence of individuals, families and happiness while worshiping gods and ancestors.
In China, "Wandering Gods" have been a carrier for the concentrated display and exchange of folk customs, folk art, and national culture since ancient times. The Youshen event is a very grand event for the people. In order to hold the Youshen event well, the Youshen team will prepare and rehearse more than a month in advance.
The organizers of the Wandering God activity will carefully select men, women, old and young in the village who meet the requirements to form a team of Wandering Gods. Participants are responsible for carrying the statues, holding escort flags, playing gongs and drums, etc., and each perform their duties to form a professional team. An orderly team of wandering gods.
With the development of the times, the Youshen Tournament has also undergone great changes. The gods enshrined in the Youshen Tournament are no longer just a few fixed gods, but vary from place to place. The place is the king of the three mountains, Guan Di Ye, Hua Gong Hua Po, Tiger God and so on. The route follows the traditional path. Even though some places have been remodeled, most of it is still the same.
