[1] Zhang Lei's poem "The Eighteenth Day of the First Lunar Month"
? When the lights are turned off, the city meets the barren villages,
Weng Yu's sleeping day is over;
Why can a shepherd boy get up early,
Slowly drive Baigu out of Chaimen.
Today is the day to move to a new house and "burn the kang", but Yu Tian didn't come home all night, which worried his nephew Yu Mufan to death. It was still daylight, so he called the groom to go look for it with him.
People in mountain villages get up earlier than those in cities.
Every time he meets someone, Mu Fan gets out of the car and asks if he has seen a noble lady pass by.
People say: I have never seen it.
"Could it be, is there a place to stay?" The more Mu Fan thought about it, the more frightened he became: in case of a scandal, he, the nephew who sent her home, would be punished. He urged the coachman to hurry to the hut that looked like an earth temple.
He found the small earthen hut, and seeing that the door was closed, he lay on the crack of the door and looked inside.
I saw that the second aunt and the middle-aged man were lying on the table and fell asleep. The good news is: there is one on each side. Mu Fan quietly pushed the door open and went in, only to see the little book boy lying on the big bed, sleeping soundly with his feet up.
Mu Fan gently pushed Yu Tian, ??and whispered: "Second Aunt, Second Aunt, wake up" It meant to leave as soon as no one saw you before dawn.
Who knows, Yu Tian raised his hazy eyes and asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"
Mu Fan said: "Keep down, don't wake people up"
Yu Tian whispered: "What are you doing here?"
"I'm here to pick you up!"
"Pick me up - why?"
"Didn't you burn the kang today?"
"Why don't you just burn a kang, why did you come from the capital so early in the morning?"
"I never came home at all."
"Why don't you go home?"
"Second Aunt hasn't returned yet, how dare I go home?" Mu Fan muttered, "If I lose Second Aunt again, my father won't eat me!"
"I'm such an old man, how can I just throw it away?"
Mu Fan whispered, "It's not like you never lost it."
"Heh, you child, how did you expose Ergu's shortcomings?" Yu Tian woke up Wang Mian with such a loud voice.
He opened his eyes and saw a young man standing in front of him. He was startled at first, then he recovered and asked, "You, your son?"
"It's your son!"
"I, my son, me, why don't I know?"
Yu Tian said: "Now, don't you know!"
"Got it, got it," Wang Mian fell back to sleep.
Mu Fan was terrified by this fairy dialogue, thinking: "Why, I am their child? No wonder my father doesn't treat me very close!" He looked at the ragged man again, "Is he my biological father?"
Yu Tian said: "Why are you looking at him? Go to your third aunt's house and tell me, go to my house to accompany guests, but don't. After your father comes, there is no one to sit with him."
"Oh, I see," Mu Fan went out suspiciously.
Mu Fan didn't know how he got to Sangu's house either.
As soon as he entered the door, he called "Three Aunt", and sat down on the stool with a long face. Yu Lu murmured in her heart: What happened to this family again, it was early in the morning. Then he asked, "What's the matter, Mu Fan?"
"nothing!"
"It's nothing, what are you doing so early in the morning?"
"Second Gu asked Ye to burn the kang."
"It's a good thing to burn the kang!" Yu Lu breathed a sigh of relief, "What upset you?"
Mu Fan sat there without saying a word and sulked.
"Why, who burned your house down?" You Gan, who was lying on the kang, jokedThe first thing for a person to do is to "report the funeral" at the Earth Temple, because the dead ghosts will be sent to the City God's Mansion by the Earth God. For example, Volume 3 of Hu Puan's "China Customs and Customs", the second part records that "when a mortal first dies, the family members must use reed mats and straws to surround the land temple next to the earth temple, which is the place where the soul lives, which is called the pagoda. , the family will have two meals at lunch and dinner, with one bowl of rice and two plates of vegetables, and send them to the ghost apartment next to the temple, for three days at most, and two days at least, which is called meal delivery." The meaning obviously refers to The person has just died, and the ghost stays in the land temple for a while, and the family still needs to send food. The land is also in charge of marriages in the world. The land in "The Match of Immortals" contributed to the marriage between Dong Yong and the Seven Fairies. phase and. As for plagues, tigers and wolves in the village, praying for the land to eliminate disasters; praying for theft and lawsuits, praying for the land to guide the wrong people and uphold justice, were also often held in the old villages.
(4) Responsibility type
The god of land belongs to the gods at the grassroots level. Experts and scholars believe that the god of land is the god of local administration, protecting the peace and tranquility of the village. Some experts also believe that it belongs to the city god, who is in charge of the household registration of the deceased in the village, and is the administrative god of the underworld. Producing all things: The land contains all things, and it also produces and nourishes all things. It grows five grains to nourish the people. This is the reason why Chinese people love the land and worship the land. "Taiping Yulan" quoted "Book of Rites Wai Zhuan" as saying that the god of land "the country is based on the people, and the people regard food as the sky, so the founding of the country, the monarch and the people, first ordered the establishment of the society, and there are many lands and valleys, so they cannot be sacrificed all over the place, so they are in the country city. , set up an altar to worship it."
Management of the hometown: Since the Eastern Jin Dynasty, with the gradual improvement of the bureaucratic system from the central to the grassroots in the feudal country, the land god has also evolved into the lowest level of small gods in the Taoist god hierarchy who can only manage the local area. Volume 5 of "Sou Shen Ji" in the Eastern Jin Dynasty stated that Jiang Ziwen, a native of Guangling, died of chasing a thief. After Sun Quan of the Eastern Wu Dynasty came to power, Jiang Ziwen appeared in Taoism and said: "I should be the god of land for this (Guanjing) to bless the people." The Fuer Xiamin referred to here refers to the protection of the native houses in the hometown, the safety of the native houses, the importation of children, the prosperity of the six animals, and the fairness of people. There is often a couplet in the Earth Temple in southern China, which says: "The father-in-law is fair, and the mother-in-law is kind."
Underworld administration: It is a custom in many areas of China that everyone is born with a "temple king's land" - that is, the land temple to which he belongs, which is similar to everyone's hometown; Go to the land temple to which it belongs for sacrificial activities. Or the family members of the newly deceased, go to the earth temple and report the deceased's name, birth date and other information, in order to ask the earth god to guide the deceased. People in southern Fujian and Taiwan believe that the land god can bless agricultural harvests, businessmen's success in business, travelers' safe journeys, and even protect graves from evil spirits. The land god is an extremely functional deity. Generally speaking, the god of earth and earth is the guardian deity of the place, and the god of a village and a mile.
(5) Earth temples
Earth Temple Earth Temple, also known as Fude Temple and Bogong Temple, is a place (temple) for Chinese folks to enshrine the "Land God". It is more than small buildings built spontaneously by Chinese folks. There are distributions.
?Because the godhead is not high and it is a grassroots belief, most of the earth temples are simple in shape. The simple ones are placed under trees or on the side of the road. With two stones as walls and one as the roof, they can become earth temples, commonly known as "Lei" type earth temples. In some large temples, there are also people who have local land gods in the halls.
(6) Sacrificial etiquette
The birthday of the god of land: the second day of the second lunar month
? On the day when the land is publicized and ascended to heaven: the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar
"Zhuluo County Chronicles": "The mid-autumn festival is the same as the second day of February; the visit to the autumn report is also. The four places sing and hear each other. It is a social drama", so the so-called spring prayer and autumn report are the same as the above two days , the current ritual should be a change of the old social sacrifice custom.
