People believe that worshipping this immortal god can make peopleHealth and longevityThis immortal god is actually a belief of Taoism in pursuing longevity.
The elderly Shouxing, one of the three stars of fortune, wealth and longevity, is dressed as a civilian, kind and amiable.But in ancient times, he used to be a man of high status and dignityStar official。It is not the legendary Antarctic Immortal Emperor.
God of Longevity
The longevity star is the old man star, and the name in western astronomy isShip baseAlpha star, located in the southern hemisphereSouth LatitudeAbout 50 degrees, in ChinaNorthern regionIn fact, it's hard to see.Sima Qian《Redords of the Grand History of China·It is recorded in the Tianguan Book that when the Qin Dynasty unified the country, it began to build a Shouxing Temple in Xianyang, the capital, to worship the Antarctic Old Man Star.But the reason for worshipping him is quite different from that in 2017.The main idea is that when you see the birthday star, the world is at peace;If you don't see it, it indicates that there will be war.early stageAstrologyIn the book, it is also mentioned that if the color of the old star is dimmer, or even completely disappeared, it indicates that there will be war.
Zhu Xuanxian's Chinese painting Longevity Star (1991)
The peaceful and prosperous times in ancient China were indeed short and rare.Decades of chaos and governance.After a long period of separation, we must unite, and after a long period of cooperation, we must divide.And this old man star is just a good symbol of this turbulent situation.But it is far from enough to be just a symbol. The ancients had a strong practical and utilitarian purpose in observing the celestial phenomena and astrology.So what is the practical value of the Antarctic Elderly Star?Maybe it is his status as an old man and his ability to carry an important ethicssense of worthRead - that is respect for the old and filial piety.
eastEmperor Ming of the Han DynastyDuring his reign, he presided over a ceremony to worship the birthday star.He personally dedicatedSupplies, read out in homageEulogy。At the same time, a special banquet was arranged, and the participants were all ancient and rare people.All over the world, as long as they are over 70 years old, both nobles and civilians are eligible to become HanEmperor MingOur guests.After the feast, the emperor also presented wine, meat, rice and a beautifully crafted cane.
This event was recorded in the Book of Han - Etiquette Annals, and it was a great creation of Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty to honor the longevity stars in the sky and the long-lived old people in the world.
《Redords of the Grand History of China·"Longevity Star Temple"《expound sth. obscure》, "Longevity Star, cover the Antarctic Old Man Star, seeZetianNext to Li'an, the ancestral hall is used to pray for longevity: "Song DynastyBuilding keyThe poem of "Rose Collection" IV "Portrait of Ye Chushi": "More pines and bamboos are added to make longevity stars, and I am willing to dry up the manuscript." Later, it is used to refer to people who live long.elementFang Hui《Tongjiang sequel》The poem of the 20th "Wuxu Birthday": "Every birthday in the guest house,Next door deliveryShouxing. "
Respecting the old is the embodiment of good nature.andEmperor Ming of the Han DynastyTaking this opportunity to show his virtue of respecting the elderly is undoubtedly a political show that hopes to win the hearts of the people.Not only was it advocated, Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty also granted privileges to the elderly.The royal staff presented at the banquet is proof.
The kingpin, also known as the dove stick, because the top of the stick is a statue of a turtle dove.The emperor presented a turtle dove stick to the elderly. It is said that because the turtle dove is a non choking bird, it may mean to wish the elderly a healthy diet, health and longevity.What kind of privilege does this stick represent?
Shouxing
1981 GansuWu WeiA batch of bamboo slips of the Han Dynasty were found, which recorded several criminal cases, several of which involved privileged old people with royal staff.The first one said that a man surnamed Wang, a civilian in Runan, beat the old man with a stick, and was later sentenced to behead and abandon his body in the downtown.The second one is about a junior official of the Han Dynasty who detained an old man without authorization because he was suspected of violating the law.Although there was no beating, he was sentenced to capital punishment and beheaded in public.Judging from the judgment results of these two cases, they both show a deliberate preference for the old man with a stick.In other bamboo slips recorded in the commercial laws of the Han Dynasty, we also found that in business, the old people with sticks also had incomparable advantages: 32 BCEmperor Cheng of the Han DynastyThe imperial edict issued stipulates that the elderly couples who have no children to support can be allowed to operate liquor business, and all are tax-free.Businessmen who volunteer to take care of the elderly can also get duty-free treatment and open duty-free stores to sell alcohol.Looking at the documents of the Han Dynasty, there are records of similar imperial edicts from time to time.Why can we have privileges just because we are old, and why did the Han government enforce respect for the elderly and filial piety through strict legislation?
This is because respecting the old is not only a virtue, but also the filial piety ethics derived from itFeudal dynastyIt is the foundation of governing the country.The core of filial piety is obediencePatriarchy。stayconfucianAdvocatedMaster TiandiFive virtuesIn China, the relationship between monarch and minister is equal to that between father and son.So advocating filial piety is actually praising the character of loyal officials.
Since the Antarctic Elder Star undertakes such an important educational task, it is not surprising that ancient astrologers said that he is a longevity star related to the rise and fall of national fortunes.But the strong political color made him deviate from the original meaning of praying for longevity.Ordinary people are more concerned about how they can live forever.So Taoism provides a solution by creating aLong life and justiceSuccessful practitioners.
Of course, the 767 year old is not credible, but it seems that Peng Zu was indeed a person in history.《Redords of the Grand History of China·The Chu Aristocratic Family records his distinguished origin. He is one of the Five EmperorsZhuan XuGrandchildren.FromXia DynastyBy the Shang Dynasty, they had lived nearly 800 years.The stories about his longevity have been circulated as early as the Qin and Han Dynasties.Qu Yuan's long poem《Heaven asks》He was mentioned in,ConfuciusandDaoist philosopherHe is also regarded as a model of longevity in his own works.
Although Peng Zu is not in the skyStar officialHowever, people believe that he has mastered a set of health preserving methodsReal lifeYou can achieve immortality through cultivationWinners。This is also the reason why people combine him with the birthday star.
You can live to 767 years old. What kind of regimen is it?《Zhuangzi·It is recorded in Deliberate that: vomit the old and accept the new, go through the bear and stretch the bird, guide the way,Peng ZushouThe examiners are good.Exhale the old and bring the new, that is to say, regulate the breathing with the mind. What is the matter with the guidance and guidance?
The so-called Bear Sutra refers to imitating the climbing action of bears, and the so-called bird stretching refers to imitatingbirdsIn particular, the crane spreads its wings and draws its neck.It can be seen that Peng Zu'sGuidanceIn fact, it is a kind of fitness gymnastics that imitates animal body movements.
Shouxing
Pre Qin TaoismHe believes that heaven and earth are immortal and eternal.worldMetaplasiaEverything breeds life, which is the greatest virtue of heaven and earth.People believe that heaven is kind, and it has taught people the art of longevity while giving life.But later, people could not extricate themselves from the superficial happiness brought by various material desires and utilitarianism, and gradually lost the instinct of longevity.But there is still a remedy, that is, Tao follows nature and learns from animals in nature.
The reason for imitating bears is that they can not eat for several months during their hibernation. Health practitioners believe that this is because they are familiar with the art of eating qi to restore the valley.The reason for imitating cranes seems to be that they like his elegance, and that he is free and carefree when he lifts up;Maybe people should also imagine the moment when they become immortalRed-crowned craneIt's so leisurely.
Since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the Taoist theory of health preservation has gradually become a system.There are dozens of works under the pseudonym of Peng Zu, including Peng Zu's Sexual Cultivation Classic《Peng Zu's Theory of Health Maintenance》And Peng Zu's Prescription for Nourishing Nature and Preparing for Emergencies, etc.In addition to guiding Qigong, alchemy, TCM and other health care theories, it also involves cooking, eating, andIntraatrial operation。
Taoist classicsThe two kinds of people have been talked about since the middle agesPhysiological needs"Food, color, sex", that is, people's innate desire.Contrary to the Confucian attitude of regarding it as a scourge, Peng Zu's regimen did not avoid talking about food and sex, and regarded it as an important training content.
The so-called food refers to the cooking of food.In the past, the chef industry regarded Peng Zu as the founder. On the day of Peng Zu's birthday in the lunar calendar, the national cooking masters gatheredXuzhouOutside the east gate of the cityPengzu Temple, pay a visit to the founder, Peng Zu.Because Peng Zu is the first gourmet and highly skilled chef ever recorded.As early asQu YuanOf《Heaven asks》Mentioned Peng Zu modulationPheasant soupdedicateYaoThe famous allusion of Emperor.
Peng Zu's cooking skill is so superb that he can be curedanorexiaPersistent disease, then the idea of eating healthy and long life will be easily accepted by people.
The culinary art of diet was then incorporated into the theory of health preservation, and it complements the guided fitness.Imitating the body movements of long-lived animals can live forever, while another more direct method is to eat them.So the so-called long-lived animals aretortoiseDeer and turtle have become the tonic for longevity. It can be said that it is a two pronged approach to achieve the goal of fitness and longevity by guiding gymnastics and cooking delicious food.
thatIntraatrial operationWhy is it also regarded as an important part of health preservation theory?This is because the ancients attached men and women to the heaven and earth, and the heaven and earth hand over to produce all things, and men and women join to pass on the generations. Therefore, the combination of men and women is a way to imitate the harmony of yin and yang of heaven and earth.According to the Taoist theory of health preservation, the art of sexual intercourse is also a method of cultivating immortality.
Legend of the image of the birthday star
Due to the integration of Taoist concept of health preservation, the image of Shouxing has also changed accordingly.The most outstanding one is his greatforehead。This is the mural of Yongle Palace in Shanxi, which may be the oldest living image of longevity.Among the thousands of immortals in Yongle Palace, we can recognize him at a glance because of his super brain.
There are many guesses about the origin of the cerebrum gate. Some people think that the cerebrum gate comes from the phenomenon of rejuvenation. There are many old people and childrenPhysical featuresSimilar on.For example, the hair of newborn babies is scarce, so is the old.And hair is less naturalforeheadIt seems very big.
The brain gate of the longevity star is also closely related to the image of longevity created by the ancient regimen.For example, the head of the red crowned crane rises high.Another example is the longevity peach, which is a special longevity fairy fruit offered by the Queen Mother at the peach party. It is said that it blooms and bears fruit every three thousand years. After eating it, it will become immortal and live forever.Perhaps it is because of the fusion and superposition of these longevity images that the Longevity Star's cerebrum door is finally created.
The change of Shouxing's walking stick shows the weakening of his political enlightenment function.The original king's staff carved with turtledove as a symbol of privilege was replaced with a peach wood walking stick.It is said that peach wood can cure diseases, strengthen the body and prolong life.
According to folklore, in the northeast of the earth is the place where evil spirits live. There is a gate, called the Gate of Ten Thousand Ghosts, which keeps evil spirits away.It is said that this gate is used by the Emperor of HeavenpeachIt's made of wood.To be on the safe side, two peach trees were planted in front of the gate to ward off ghosts and evil spirits.Interestingly, modernscientific researchIt is found that the juice of peach tree does contain some special ingredients that inhibit the growth of bacteria.In the past, peach branches were also used in traditional Chinese medicineA medicine, and people believe that it is toward the northeast, that is, toward the Ghost GatePeach twig——The medicine is the best.In the past, the royal staff, a symbol of privilege, has become the mascot of longevity in the hands of longevity stars to cure diseases and strengthen the body.
Local legend of Shouxing
Changsha, Hunan, Shouxing Street, named after a large Shouxing Temple.As recorded in local chronicles, the Longevity Star Temple was built here as early as the Tang Dynasty and lasted untilRepublic of China。It is said that incense was very popular in those days. Many people came here to burn incense and pray for longevity.
More than a hundred miles south, you can reach the real land of longevity -- NanyueHengshan MountainThat is, the birthday ratio often mentioned in coupletsNanshanNanshan.During the Tang and Song Dynasties, there were no less than ten longevity temples of different sizes built on the mountain. The existing longevity pavilion is a relic of the Song Dynasty.
But the ancient Nanyue Mountain HengshanMain GodIt's not the birthday, it'sThe Antarctic Immortal Emperor。This building was built in the Tang DynastyThe Nanyue TempleIt was built for him.Southeast Northwest MiddleChina's five great mountainsThe gods of nature are evolved from the worship of natural mountain gods.The so-called longevity of the Antarctic may also come from the ancients' imagination of the southern climate.And the position of the birthday star in the sky also happens to be in the south direction, so it is easy to hear the birthday star burning incense and making vows and expressing piety.
In the folklores of later generations, the Antarctic Immortal Emperor and the Antarctic Elderly Star are often confused, perhaps because their names all contain Antarctica, which is close to the concept of longevity.stayTaoist ImmortalsIn the pedigree, these two gods are far higher than Peng Zu.Although Peng ZuLong life and justiceBut after all, he is a historical figure, not as noble as the Antarctic Emperor and the Antarctic Old Man Star.
So when it comes to longevity, we still use the Antarctic Elderly Star orAntarctic FairyThe most famous identity.
Nanyue Hengshan Mountain
Since the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, the Taoist immortal team has been growing, and longevity has become a must for the immortals.Such as the Antarctic Emperor,NandouBeidou,Chinese ZodiacHe is the real king who protects his life. He has 36 days and 60 livesJia ZiGod and so on have the function of blessing longevity.Uncontrolled creation of gods results inDecentralization of power, greatly weakening the divinity of the longevity star.The government of the Ming Dynasty ordered the cancellation of the national system of sacrificing longevity stars that had been followed since the Qin and Han dynasties.Shouxing has completely removed the political color, and since then, he has made a great leap into the folk, becoming the most secular immortal in ancient China.
old timesPengshan CountyWhen people celebrate the birthday of the elderly, they will hang a portrait of the birthday star.Although asking God to come down to earth is often a mere formalitybirthday partyIt is true that it can make the old man happy.Family members gather in the hall, where children and grandchildren can enjoy delicious food and wine, and enjoy the happiness of family.This scene is a family ceremony to express filial piety and kinship, and the portrait of the birthday star is an indispensable auspicious symbol.
The custom of celebrating birthdays was not popular at first, which may be derived from a simple idea: because people think that their birthday is actually the mother's crucifixion day.Remembering the kindness of their parents is not compatible with the festive atmosphere of celebrating their own birthday.After the Ming and Qing dynasties, the custom of celebrating birthday for the elderly gradually rose.Kangxi Qianlong heydaySeveral unprecedented grand meetings made the folk birthday celebration custom flourish.The most luxurious birthday party in history isQianlongHeld by the emperorA feast for thousands of old people。In that year, Qianlong was 74 years old, and he was pleased to be the fifth great grandson. He claimed to be the emperor of ancient times and the perfect old man.He issued an edict inviting more than 6000 representatives of the elderly over 60 years old to comethe Forbidden CityGo to dinner to celebrate your birthday.
This one is called《Longevity Ceremony》The pictures of the time depicted the grand occasion.The elderly were invited to the banquet with the help of their families, which covered the streets and alleys of the capital.
It has become a common practice to celebrate the birthday of the elderly since the Qing Dynasty.It has gradually formed a complicated ceremonial display, and some old rules have been followed until 2017.
For example, the principle of celebrating a birthday is to celebrate a whole life, that is, forty, fifty, and sixty.However, after the seventies, many more statements were added.77 is also called Xishou, because the abbreviation of "Xi" is 77, 88 is also called "Xi"Mishou, which is also the saying of word splitting.
This is because the year is over70 years agoIn other words, there will be an opportunity for the elderly to enjoy family reunion.After the age of one hundred, we should do it every year, and we should do it in a big way.This is an expression of filial piety, hoping to bring more to the elderlyHappiness。It is always an important part of Chinese traditional morality to attach importance to family, kinship and respect for the elderly.The birthday ceremony is the externalization of this virtue.
Although Shouxing no longer has a dignified divinity, it is passed down from generation to generation because of the needs of folk ethical life.
