There is a certain procedure for doodling, which must not be simple or reversed.

Generally speaking, all calligraphers should set up an altar to pay homage (especially to Taoist priests), which is called "total altar style". The general mantras in the altar are written about the gods that Taoist priests usually believe in-land, city god, Di Qing in the east, Chi Di in the south, Bai Di in the west, Hei Di in the north, General Suzaku, General Xuanwu, General Hei Hei Zi and so on. Such as the total curse in the total altar map set by the Taoist priest in Dunhuang in ancient times. Taoist priests will also build altars and two seals of the Emperor of Heaven (Figure 2-2). These two seals are engraved on the altar, both on the front and back.

There are also those who do not have a "total altar style" or build an altar, such as "inviting immortals to dustpan". When the fairy dustpan is invited, three plates of fruit, three cups of tea and three cups of wine are used for the shrine of the main hall … or for temporary storage outside the house, which is equivalent to a table.

Before drawing symbols, you should clean your heart-concentrate and be sincere, eliminate distractions, concentrate, cleanse yourself, wash your face, wash your hands and gargle, prepare sacrifices such as fruit, rice wine and incense sticks, as well as pen and ink, cinnabar and yellow paper. For these items, the Taoist used a spell first, which made them have great power.

(1) Pen Curse: In the fifth year, Raytheon will burn the light of Warner, and for the rest of his life, he will bind ghosts and hide evil, and all life and death will be destroyed. I am as urgent as the law.

(2) Water curse: This water is extraordinary. It's a bit like the water in the north. It takes a while for a sick person to swallow all the diseases. To ward off evil spirits is like smashing.

(3) Inkstone Curse: The Jade Emperor has sacred inkstones everywhere. Jin Mu is full of fire, water, earth, thunder, rain, lightning, lightning and lightning.

(4) Ink Curse: The Jade Emperor has robbed the gods of ink, which is like a cloud. The dispute between the nine planets is as urgent as a law.

(5) Cinnabar Curse: The fierce demons in Stan Town exorcise ghosts, and learning books like Fu Ling is faster than three realms. Before drawing symbols, you should burn incense and bow down, make a wish to tell the god of heaven and earth and express your prayers. After greeting, take out paper, ink or cinnabar, sit still, think about luck, and draw the symbols you want to draw in one breath without any pause. When drawing symbols, you should blow air into them, and at the same time, you should gently recite the mantra with your mouth while drawing. In addition, the left hand that doesn't hold the pen should make the gestures that must be used when writing, such as Sun Jun's tactic, Yue Jun's tactic and plough's tactic. Rijun's unique trick: the fingertips of the four fingers of the left hand are bent, and only the second finger extends horizontally, with the fingertips facing up. Yue Jun formula: Except that the fourth finger extends horizontally and the fingertip is upward, the other four fingers are slightly bent inward. Highest day formula: the second finger extends horizontally, the fingertips are upward, and the fingertips of the other four fingers are slightly bent inward. It is said that the formula of "Kouyuejun" is used to take the Yin and Yang Qi of the Sun and Moon, draw air into the spell, and be cheered by the gods to exorcise evil spirits and reduce ghosts, so as to increase the efficacy of the spell. The application of Tian Gang tactic also lies in using this fingering to command ghosts and gods, and using Tian Gang to point to spirits when drawing symbols.

After drawing the symbol, put the nib up and the nib down, concentrate all your energy on the nib, hit the symbol paper with the nib three times, and then press the symbol with the diamond sword, showing a sense of majesty that the divine power has been attached to the symbol. Finally, lift the painted symbol paper around the furnace for three times, and so on, and the symbol painting ceremony is completed.

Second, graffiti materials

Scribbled materials are generally stipulated; Painters must use ink or cinnabar, especially cinnabar. Cinnabar is widely used because the ancients believed that cinnabar had the function of suppressing evil spirits. The carrier of the word is red wood board, because in ancient times, people thought that mahogany had strong exorcism power. Followed by cypress board, jujube board, stone, brick and yellow paper. In addition, cloth and spun silk are also widely used.

Operators have different carriers and different methods of use. Wooden symbols are usually hung or nailed somewhere, or burned to ashes and swallowed up by water; Stone and brick materials are generally buried underground; Some paper materials are worn on the body, some are burned to ashes and swallowed with water, and some paper symbols or cloth symbols must be written in two copies and must be swallowed and pasted. For example, Zhang Tianshi's disease removal symbol (Figure 2-3) is used by patients who are sick on the first day. Write on yellow paper with a red brush. When you write, knock your teeth three times and spray a clear water to the east. While writing, I read the Curse for Illness: Yang Yang is famous, and the sunrise is in the east. I press this symbol to sweep away the ominous. Take advantage of the light of the flying city to catch monsters, so that Tian Peng Lux can break the disease, subdue monsters with filthy King Kong, and turn evil into good luck. As urgent as the law! Write two copies, one burned to ashes and the other posted on the door.

Third, several special scribbling methods

As mentioned above, the method of drawing symbols is generally to draw vermilion water or ink on boards, stones, bricks, paper, cloth or spun silk with a pen. In addition, there are several special brushstrokes worth mentioning.

The first is the tip of the tongue. The writing on the tip of the tongue is different from the pen. The pen book is written with a brush, while the tongue book is written directly with the tongue as a pen.

The symbol written on the tip of the tongue is used because the symbol written on the tip of the tongue has a strong "town" effect. Because the tongue represents the heart, and the heart is fire in the five elements, the cinnabar used in calligraphy symbols is also close to fire, just like lighting a bonfire in the forest at night, and the wild animals dare not go near the front to "ward off evil spirits". Dry in the northwest, dry for the sky, and the "sky" in Yuan Shi is more deterrent.

The second is to write a virtual picture with your fingers based on emptiness. This is how the hemostatic symbol (Figure 2-7) is drawn.

This kind of symbol does not need to be drawn on any object, but the key is the action of the symbol, so the action requirements are extremely complicated and strict. The purpose of this kind of symbol seal is not long-term defense, but immediate response in an emergency, so the symbol body is far less important than the symbol action. Because symbols don't need to exist for a long time, they just need to draw in the air with their fingers.

The typical symbol of writing virtual images with fingers based on emptiness is the therapeutic symbol.

The bone is stuck in the throat. In this critical situation, it is possible to write down a symbol and stick it there for treatment. "Divine power" can only be displayed in the action of drawing symbols. Once the action is completed, the treatment is over.

The concrete drawing method of these four symbols is: use half a bowl of clear water, bend the ring finger and little finger of the left hand in the palm of your hand and hold up the water bowl. Bend the thumb of the right hand with the ring finger and the little finger pointing to the palm, only straighten the middle finger and forefinger, take a breath to the east, then blow into the bowl, and then write the symbol on the water surface of the bowl with the middle finger and forefinger of the right hand. While writing, I read a spell: this bowl melts into the East Sea, its throat melts into a deep pool, and Kowloon enters the hole. I propose: Your Majesty is in a hurry. Drink half a bowl of water in one breath after writing. After the bones are swallowed, the bones should be digested with the symbol of melting bones (Figure 2-9), and the rice and wheat tents should be digested with the symbols of rice and wheat tents. The drawing method of the bone-turning symbol is: bend the ring finger and little finger of the left hand, hold the water bowl, draw the symbol to the water surface in the bowl with chopsticks in the right hand, and then drink it in front of the sun. It is said that bones can digest.

The way to eliminate the symbols of rice and wheat awn is to write "cart, cart" on the ground with your right hand, step on it with your left foot, then write "awkward" and step on it with your right foot. The left hand bends the middle finger and the ring finger to hold the water bowl, and the right hand writes symbols on the water surface, and at the same time reads the spell of "lightning hitting water". Finish writing and drink the water in one breath. ...

The third is to write a virtual painting with bronze swords, swords and tokens. For example, Yao people say that bronze swords are a treasure to exorcise ghosts and evil spirits. Therefore, when Yao people hold some witchcraft ceremonies, they should draw water with bronze swords to ward off evil spirits. When Dong Taoist worships ghosts and gods, they should use tokens and swords to draw symbols pointing to the water, indicating that ghosts and gods are eliminated and ghosts are driven away.

Fourth, the time taboo of graffiti.

Dragon Boat Festival is an auspicious day for painting symbols and making water, and painting symbols and making symbols are mostly held on this day. This is especially true when painting the Dragon Boat Festival exorcism map.

You can't scribble symbols four days a year. If you scribble symbols in these four days; Not only does it not work, but it is also harmful. These four days are the ninth day of March, the second day of June, the sixth day of September and the second day of December in the lunar calendar.

It is best to choose purple stone or stone sea as a symbol. It is said that at this time, the yang disappears and the yin is long, and the gas field is the heaviest, followed by noon, noon and unitary time.
