Feng Shui (12)The cultures of burial (1)
The culture of burial produces two series. It is a series of rituals, a series of burial feng shuis, what words to write on the coffins, and how to deal with coffins. This is a series of rituals.
Then the Feng Shui series is quite special. The feng shui series is divided into two series, one is funeral, and it is buried immediately after death. One is called the golden funeral. The bone burial after bone picked is called the golden funeral. If I am selling coffins, then this ceremony must be taught, how should the coffin be placed? When I was young, we had a big family, and every month there were dead people. Since Chen’s early years, Chen family has a rule. That is to say, when the people of Chen’s family died, and the people of Chen’s family must carry the coffin and buy the coffin to be brought back by Chen’s family, so I know a little about the ceremony.
When the dead are going out, the coffin can't go back, the dead is put in the coffin, the foot is in the front, and the big coffin head is behind. So to raise the coffin must to understand, to lift the front, do not lift the back, the wood in front is relatively small, the back is so big, I did not understand before, was deceived by the older generation, said that young people are not seen behind, lift the back, we are older and carry the front. The weight behind is not the weight of the dead, but the weight of the coffin.
Taiwan's culture is completely different from that of the mainland. Therefore, Taiwan's entire feng shui system is not actually a feng shui system of the mainland. Of course, there are many key points. It is passed down from the mainland, the secret is copied, and Taiwan is used again, but the whole method. Not necessarily the mainland is better.
The entire culture of Taiwan’s funeral was relatively independent. It was probably after the arrival of Taiwan in the late Ming Dynasty that everyone got up. But those people to Taiwan who came from the end of the Ming Dynasty, why are we different in Taiwan? They are all very bad. All tried the best to tidy up the other side. It is still like this now. I have to frame the other side. This is a characteristic of Taiwanese. So this feature is up to now, so it’s to say that everyone live very painfully.
Therefore, Taiwanese must worship Buddha. Why do they worship Buddha? Because their past lives killed too many people. Therefore, the more people who hurt others more in the past, the more devout Buddhists. The whole basic gene of our Taiwanese people is pirates, or serfs or slave labor. The earliest ethnic groups in Taiwan are like this.
So where do these people come from? Zheng Chenggong father, come from Zheng Zhilong. Zheng Zhilong was working on Taiwan for ten years before he landed in Taiwan, because he was a pirate. The people who came to Taiwan were pirates. Where did the pirates come from? From the coastal areas of Fujian, Zhejiang, and Guangdong, recruit serfs and slave laborers. Because it was very chaotic at that time, Ji Jiguang was fighting pirate, so when the Treaty of Shimonoseki, Taiwan was ceded to Japan, and Japan came to rule Taiwan, the Japanese seemed to be in Taiwan, and the rule was very intimate, Taiwan and North Korea was ruled by Japan at the same time. Japan feels like return to its own home in Taiwan. It is very intimate. It can be seen that Zheng Zhilong’s entire serfs, slaves and pirates were combined at the time, and probably Japan’s bloodlines were quite numerous.
There is also a relationship between genes. There is a feeling that many people still worship the Japanese, so those people do not worship Japan? The people in the military area who they talk about Japan they hated it. The problem lies in this kind of concept. Therefore, after this, Zheng Zhilong came to Taiwan to open up, why is it open? Because you really can't be a pirate when you can fight at sea and no sea sick, the agricultural workers on the coast of Fujian they cannot fight in the sea. They will be dizzy when they get on the boat. They have to grab people but finally get robbed. Those people are sent to Taiwan to open up, why?
This kind of basis can be seen from the existence of many history. When Zheng Chenggong failed in the mainland, he drove several broken ships to the outer seas of Tainan. After the encirclement, why did the Netherlands surrender? Because these slave laborers and serfs in Taiwan knew that Zheng Zhilong’s son had to sail to Taiwan and the Dutch did not let him in, then these people gathered together to cut off the food that the Dutch had eaten, no eating or drinking water. Few months later they surrendered. If there were no such people, would the Dutch surrender? Zheng Chenggong’s ships are on the sea. Don’t take long. As long as float for a month, everyone has to fish and eat, can’t eat it. He surrendered himself because have nothing in the sea. The problem is these on Taiwan’s land. People, surrounded the whole of the city, so that he surrendered, not Zheng Chenggong surrendered them in the outer sea of Tainan, they have to surrender.
Zheng Chenggong came up, the question came, why do I always say that the Taiwanese pirate genes are still there, and my opinion that Zheng Chenggong is not die sick but killed, otherwise it will be impossible to die at the age of 30. I didn’t die on the boat, why did I die after come to the land and have food to food, my opinion, because Taiwan’s entire acceptance of Taiwan from Japan, all the fighting, my ethnic group and the ethnic group fight, killing and robbing everywhere, this is fight. The history of the fighting still exists, and the Hsinchu Yimin Temple is a fight, and there is a fight there. In the era of my great-great-grandfather, Zhangzhou and Quanzhou fought, Quanzhou and Fuzhou did it, and what state did with what other state, and in the end they swore that no one should be marry. All I know is grabbing. You are here to find a way to get rid of the grass hut. Burn it off.
Why is it finally stabilized? The whole fate of Taiwan, the benefits of Penglai Xiandao, naturally there are people to reform, after the Treaty of Shimonoseki was cut to Japan, it is not allowed to fight. If you kill, I will kill you. Therefore, Taiwan’s local chronicles are anti-Japanese, in fact not anti-Japanese. The power of the fighting is too great. When the Japanese want to ban, they will fight with the Japanese.
