Why do Taoist priests take dust?
Blowing dust is an article that condenses the energy and information of the universe since ancient times. It has the miraculous effects of strengthening the body, improving intelligence, eliminating diseases and strengthening the body, suppressing evil spirits and avoiding evil spirits. Therefore, it is an excellent treasure collected and handed down by Buddhists, Taoists, Confucians and others in past dynasties. Dust blowing combines the philosophical essence of Zhouyi, Eight Diagrams, Taiji and Yin and Yang. A bodhi bead is embedded in the top of the dust blowing handle, which makes Sakyamuni Buddha become a Taoist under the bodhi tree. The bodhi bead itself has the effect of avoiding evil spirits and getting rid of diseases. Bodhi beads represent Tai Chi, which means Tao. Tao gives birth to one (upper gossip bell jar), two (middle gossip bell jar), two (lower gossip bell jar) and three things (lower gossip bell jar). The dusting handle is made of 64 ropes and 38 white (black) ponytail ropes? 9? 0( 10000) means endless life, and the handle has 102 ropes. Each rope uses four ponytails, totaling 408, and the bell jar consists of 32 ponytail ropes, each rope uses four ponytails, each bell jar totals 128, and three bell jars count 384. The dusting pole is made of superior rosewood, and 32 ropes on the upper and lower layers are woven into earth dragons and decorated with ancient coins. The middle and lower layers are braided with 96 ropes, totaling 322 ponytail ropes. There are tassels in the bell jar, and there are two kinds of red and yellow up and down. Red is auspicious and yellow is rich. Divided into two layers, each layer is 32, and the upper and lower layers are 64, which coincides with the 8864 hexagrams. The lower dust tail consists of 384 ropes, which are consistent with 8864 hexagrams. Each hexagram is divided into six hexagrams * * * 384 hexagrams. Each rope has ten ponytails, totaling 3840, representing everything. The lower establishment is divided into five layers and eight layers, and each layer represents the five elements (gold, wood, water, fire and earth) and the eight diagrams (dry, look, yin, truth, Xun, reason, Kun and right).

In that case, Buddha dust is not exclusive to Buddhists. People in the thunderbolt generally hold Buddha dust, which I personally think is innate. Generally, it is blown by Buddha dust, so kung fu is naturally much more advanced. For example, in the first world war, the sword was alone against the three magic generals, and the sword held the dust and kissed the xiu in one breath, and a stream of true qi was born leisurely. The true qi is poured into the Buddha's dust, and when it is collected, it is released and swept away.

Buddha dust is now a decoration, not the mainstream weapon in the thunderbolt. Recently, weapons have grown. The long Dao that swallowed the Buddha boy (I forgot what it was for a moment) and the sacred sigh and solitary gun of Yan Guiren are unparalleled works. Let's talk about Yan Guiren's pike again. Barracuda in the world has the oldest origin. In the era of Chezhan, soldiers used long soldiers and bows and arrows, but spears were the most suitable, so spears were the most popular. Unfortunately, although it was a fighting tool at that time, there was no certain way to use it; The two arrays are opposite, but with this weapon, they hit each other at a distance and stabbed themselves. According to legend, the gun was actually handed down by Miao Man. The gun spectrum contains: there are cannibals in the west, and the people are brave. Both men and women are skilled in martial arts, artists are kings, and the masses obey and dare not disobey; Therefore, the children of Wu Chishi's family are five or six years old. Even if they practice martial arts, those who are too weak to join the army will be abandoned by their parents, and the people in the village will not be with Wu. Clans are especially good at pike. This spear is seven to eight feet long, with a golden front and a wooden handle. When dancing, cold stars are dotted with silver light, and water can't be poured in. It can be used to attack the enemy, and the arrow stone cannot be destroyed. This is also the beginning of marksmanship. According to the suspicion of the western regions, Wu Chishi's family background can't be tested. As for when this law was introduced into the Central Plains, there are different opinions, so there is no need to delve into it. In short, marksmanship originated from the Wuji family, which is beyond doubt.

Guns, like spears, are the most widely used spearmen in ancient battlefields, which have been recorded in the later Han Dynasty, but their blades are long and have not yet left the spearhead form. Because spears are inconvenient to use, guns gradually became popular in the Jin Dynasty. The bronze spear head used at that time was slightly smaller than before, and it was similar to the iron spear head of later generations. There were many people who were good at guns in the Tang Dynasty. "The Biography of the Five Dynasties Kings" said: "Yan Zhang is brave and powerful, and the iron gun moves with a hundred paces. He rides like a flying horse, and others can't lift it. In the army, his name is Wang Tie Gun. After the Song Dynasty, spears were basically replaced by guns. In Wu Jing Zong Yao, Ceng Gongliang listed eighteen kinds of long-rod iron guns in Song Dynasty, including: falling horse gun, double hook gun, ring gun, single hook gun, revolver gun, revolver gun, cone gun and so on. Yue Fei, a famous anti-gold star in the Southern Song Dynasty, was very good at using guns. Up to now, there are still Yue's marksmanship.

The usage of guns mainly includes: stabbing, poking, tart, rushing, winding, winding, blocking, holding, flapping, pointing, poking, dancing and so on. Personally, I think Yan Guiren's most handsome move is sweeping: Yan Shuangfei, when the thunderbolt rushed into Yan Guiren to save the west wind, when Yan Shuangfei flew out, the person who blocked it was injured, and the person who blocked it died, sweeping a way out; Another example is Yan Gui's two pairs of feathers. Within the gorge road, Yanyun collapsed and the mountains and rivers shook! Yan Guiren destroyed Shiyong Gorge Road with a halberd, trying to stop the feather family from being humiliated! Amazing offensive, rare tricks, the confrontation between speed and strength, everyone was scared to sweat!

Just like the initial conclusion of color, the three primary colors of red, yellow and blue, the three primary color weapons of China Wushu are sticks, knives and swords. No matter stick or knife, sword is regarded as the most offensive weapon, and sword is based on the struggle between people. The traditional sword system in China has a sharp tip, two edges and a narrow blade. Unless it is a heavy weapon, it can block and cover the frame. When a sword comes out, it must be recruited. The sword is used to attack the enemy first. If you keep the sword, you can only use people as a medium, or retreat, or attach the true qi and internal force to your body, while the fighting power with enemy soldiers will fall under the sword. In a word, the sword is the most important weapon among all kinds of weapons, which is the same in China and the west (for example, Zorro is the representative of the western sword), and the "stab" principle of the same sword. Recently, the most eye-catching is the swordsmanship of the wise sage of the sun and moon, which represents who to give up, the unity of personality and the combination of yin and yang. The more you play, the brighter it gets. The main type of attack, the attack form is that the double swords try to get close to the enemy's body, and the mother and son attack alternately or together. The swordsman's swordsmanship is wide, his position changes rapidly, and his center of gravity keeps shifting.

Compared with the sword being applied to people, the knife may be a weapon that people began to master at the beginning, that is, in the initial process from animals to people. The top-down cutting, splitting or crosscutting of the knife may be due to the nature of struggle for existence between man and the surrounding natural environment. Therefore, among weapons, knives are the wildest, in other words, the most aggressive. However, compared with the sword, the knife is completely "offensive", and the attack and defense of the knife are relatively balanced. Knife, single-edged, thick back and wide face, is undoubtedly far easier to defend than sword in terms of shape.

Besides, fighting? It's so natural. The gorgeous battle scene in the thunderbolt is quite attractive. Is it beautifying violence? We should put aside the specific moral position and look at this objectively. In human nature, there is a potential desire to watch power and disaster. For example, each of us doesn't want to encounter a disaster, but everyone likes to watch disaster movies. Disaster movies have a high box office. American movies show the destruction of the earth and the sinking of a ship. The audience is very large. Everyone likes to watch movies that are very exciting and adventurous. Why? What kind of mystery does this reveal in human nature? A large group of us sat in the dark hall, eating French fries safely, and then watching the people on the screen have bad luck, in earthquakes, landslides and sea cracks. This is human nature. People actually feel their sense of security in other people's disasters. That's when you realize, ah! I live happily! This is human nature. Just like watching disasters and violence, it is in line with human instinct, but people should distinguish this instinct from morality in reality. You can't gloat in real life. The schadenfreude in real life should be solved in art, and the visual beauty of martial arts displayed by thunderbolt conforms to this aesthetic law. When many of us watch the gorgeous martial arts scenes in the thunderbolt, what we feel is not bloody violence, nor is it the kind of feeling that makes people impetuous and want to fight. No one saw the thunderbolt and wanted to go out and fight with others. If we see two people fighting in real life, if these two people know kung fu, they may play well, but most fights are not good-looking. Sometimes when we see a fight, we have a physical aversion. If one person beats another person's head off, we will feel unbearable.
