Chapter 124

Ye Rongrong saw that there were only 200 points of honor left. He gritted his teeth to exit the lucky draw interface. There was no way. The remaining 200 points of honor were of great use to Ye Rongrong.

Forget it, since there is no lottery, ye Rongrong can't help checking that he has no attributes for a long time.

looking at his position as a versatile and single skilled farmer, ye Rongrong understood that this skill probably refers to Qin, Qi and calligraphy. Now he knows how to play Qin, all of which are single skills. Of course, these are only Ye Rongrong's own guesses. Is this really the case I don't know.

I don't know. I was so scared that I almost forgot. In just three or four months, I had so many skills that I felt like a little Superman.

Monday, November 23, 2015, October 12, 2015. Ganzhi, on the day of guimao in the year of Dinghai in the year of Yiwei.

[appropriate] haircut, open, remove, dismantle, decorate, bury, start work, trade, set up voucher, hang plaque, set up bed and plant.

[taboo] entering a house, moving, cooking, praying, offering sacrifices, getting married, thanking the earth, digging a well, building a house, visiting a doctor.

This is the day that the old people who know geomantic omen and fortune telling in the village choose to start their work in the village according to the Yellow calendar. In China, building houses, building roads and getting a wife all have to choose the day according to the Yellow calendar to ensure smooth sailing.

The Yellow calendar, or the imperial calendar, is produced on the basis of the Chinese lunar calendar, with many kinds of calendars to express the good and bad luck of the day.

It is said that the Yellow calendar was created by Emperor Xuanyuan, so it is called the Yellow calendar. It is also known as "Tongshu" in the folk. However, because the word "Shu" in Tongshu is homophonic with the word "Shu", it is also called Tongsheng because it is taboo.

The main contents of the Yellow calendar are the date table of the 24 solar terms, the auspicious and ominous events of each day, the Chinese Zodiac fortune, etc.

However, before the construction started, there was a ceremony to worship the mountain god. In rural areas, people were still feudal. Before the mountain was built and the road was built, the gods were sacrificed.

In the eyes of rural people, the purpose of opening mountains and building roads is to disturb the gods. It's easy to disturb the gods if they don't offer sacrifices to the gods and honor them.

Once the gods are annoyed, they will bring disaster. That's a great thing. So the old people in the village attach great importance to it. A few days ago, all the things needed for sacrifice have been purchased. Ye Rongrong doesn't understand this either. He just needs to sign the money.

Anyway, ye Guangrong is a little more clear. He can haggle over everything, but he can't give less money for the sacrifice. He has to buy the best of everything. If he is poor, he can't be poor. That's a big disrespect.

No one wants to upset the gods in the legend. What's more, ye Guangrong grew up in the countryside and was very superstitious in these supernatural things.

At about 7:30 in the morning, all the old and young men and women in the village came to the entrance of the village to participate in the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the mountain god.

In the middle of the road, we set up a few square tables, on which we set up all kinds of tributes, most of which are fruits, with big pig heads in the middle, and some incense, paper, candles and so on.

We should know that offering sacrifices to gods is at the cost of offering gifts. People can kneel down and kowtow to the gods, burn incense and burn paper, but the most affordable way for the gods is to offer sacrifices.

In the eyes of the ancients, people had seven emotions and six desires, so did the gods. Since people pray for gods, they should be willing to offer their best things to win the favor of gods.

But people have different tastes, and different gods have their own tastes, so there are many kinds of sacrifices. Mainly meat.

After all, in the eyes of the ancients, meat was the most important food. In the era of primitive gathering and hunting, meat was hunted by people with all their lives. When primitive agriculture and animal husbandry developed, meat was still extremely valuable.

The ideal life conceived by Mencius in ancient times was that he could eat meat at the age of 70. The gifts of his disciples were just two bundles of dried meat, which showed that meat was rare.

Because of this, meat became the main sacrifice to the gods. In ancient times, carnivores used for sacrifice were called "sacrifice", which refers to horses, cattle, sheep, chickens, dogs, pigs and other livestock. Later, they were called "six livestock". Among the six livestock, cattle, sheep, pigs and three animals are most commonly used. Fish and rabbit game can also be used for sacrifice, but they are not "sacrifice".

In addition to "sacrifice", there are also grains, which are called "Jisheng". Fresh and tender fruits and vegetables are also commonly used in folk sacrifice. After Buddhism was introduced into China, "Zhaiji" has more fruits. In addition, wine is also a common sacrifice for gods.As for the origin of sacrifice, it is said that in the remote ancient times, the ancestors of human beings cut the thorns and covered the hills and rivers, explored the land, and settled the country. After being full of wind, rain, thunder and electric shock, they felt awe of nature and believed that all things in heaven, earth, sun and moon had their own gods.

Later, with the development of religious thought, the concept of Shinto became more specific and practical. The Chinese people were actually very broad-minded.

It is generally believed that since gods come to protect human beings, the more they are, the better they will be. In Buddhism, there are gods of Buddhism, and in Taoism, there are gods of Taoism. Although Confucianism has not developed religious forms and religious organizations, Confucius said that "intelligence and integrity are called gods" is tantamount to setting a standard for "godhood".

Under this concept, many emperors, prime ministers, great Confucians, famous generals, loyal ministers, righteous men, chaste women, and filial sons who recorded local aspirations in the past dynasties, who were in line with the "divine personality" and had outstanding deeds, who were born to be British and had spirits after death, had the opportunity to set up temples for worship.

Given the vast territory, large population, long history, rich cultural relics and so many sources of gods in China, it is not surprising that there are such gods and Buddhas in China to protect the common people and receive incense from all directions.

In addition to sacrificial offerings, incense sticks are also indispensable, because in ancient legends, people can not directly communicate with the gods, but express their wishes to the gods through burning incense sticks.

As the saying goes, "worship God in the temple and call people in the house" is a kind of respect and courtesy. Worshiping God in the temple requires offering incense, but it doesn't mean that God only sucks the incense. It's a way to greet the gods.

"Begin to worship the mountain god, play music and fire salute."

As soon as eight o'clock arrived, ye Kongming, as the chief sacrifice, cried out, announcing the official start of the ceremony of offering sacrifices to mountain gods.

After setting off the salute, he began to light candles and incense. When he began to worship, he had to read a bunch of sacrificial texts that ye Guangrong didn't understand. Ye Guangrong didn't have to care about anything. He just followed the main people in the village to worship and kneel.

It took half an hour for the ceremony of offering sacrifices to mountain gods to be over, and the sacrifices were withdrawn. These sacrifices were taken back to be distributed to everyone to eat, so that everyone could feel immortal. After all, in people's consciousness, after these sacrifices were presented, the gods would only eat a little, and the rest would be given to people.
