Pinch the tactics and step.
In the practice of Daoism, the mage often recites incantations, pinching the tactic with both hands and stumbling. Kneading step is one or two basic body movements when a mage practices dharma. To understand Taoism, we must have a preliminary understanding of both.
Step help, full name step help step fight, also known as the sky-mending plan. It was handed down from ancient times: Gang, originally a star at the tail of the Big Dipper, was the Big Dipper, and later it was expanded to refer to five stars in the southeast, northwest and China. The mage forged a piece of land ten feet in size, laid a list, symbolizing the ninth heaven, and wore cloud shoes. In a melodious Taoist song, he kept thinking about nine days, walking according to the image of the house and the gossip of the nine palaces, thinking that he could fly for nine days and send it to Zhang. Prohibit ghosts and gods, break ground and recruit thunder. Therefore, Taoism (especially Orthodoxy) is a basic skill, and it is also a master's basic body movement.
It is generally believed that Bu Gang was developed from Gu Yubu. But there are two views about the relationship with Yu. There is a saying that Yang Xiong said in "The Eye of Law". It is emphasized that Li said in Hanshu that in the past, foreigners ruled the soil and water, but there were more witches than Yu. Gui Li's note said: It is full of faults to manage water and soil and involve mountains and rivers, so it is lame. Folk wizards often follow Yu Bu's example. In this way, the jade department originally imitated Dayu's limping from water control. Another view can be found in ancient books such as Bao Puzi's Inner Chapter, Fairy Medicine and Eight Emperors in the Cave. When Dayu was harnessing the water, he saw a big bird with forbidden spells on the coast of the South China Sea. It walked in a strange way and could turn a big stone, so Dayu imitated its pace and made it into a spell, with good results. Because it is made of jade, it is called Yubu. From these statements, it can be seen that the jade part was formed very early, which was related to the ancient forbidden spells. The basic step of Yubu is three steps and nine tracks, and later it is extended to different Yubu steps such as twelve tracks and three or five tracks.
Jade has three steps and nine traces, and it is considered to have the shape of the Big Dipper, so it is integrated with the treading bucket: "Golden lock flows beads. Three or five steps "cloud:" Beidou is a middle fight. Fighting is a star, turning into nine spirits. There are nine footprints according to the law, called Xingban. " (Beidou, it is also a fight. It becomes a nine-spirit and nine-trace step, which is called a star meter. ) The so-called Nine Signs Sign the Big Dipper and Fu Bi. Outline, originally written just, originally refers to the last star of Dou, and later refers to Beidou. Known as an outline, it may be related to understanding the star map as a discipline in a certain area of Tianyu. He also said that when he was treating floods, he could spell when he saw a bird. He studied it for three years. After the skill was completed, he stepped on nine barrels and matched the stars in the first step. Generally, later generations understand that Yu Bu and Bu Gang are consistent with the Eight Diagrams of Jiugong, saying that "three steps and nine traces, traces become obstacles and deviate from divination." "Because there are many kinds of stars, and new steps are constantly compiled according to the content of the ceremony, there are many names of step stars or step buckets, which are often used at the same time with the pinch tactic, which is the two most basic body movements when casting spells. It is said that as for the Tang and Song Dynasties, more than 700 kinds of steps and kneading strategies were added together, which was really magnificent.
Common steps: As mentioned earlier, there are many methods or outline methods, but there are only a few basic ones. Meng Weidao, the orthodox school in the Eastern Han Dynasty, has "five stars and three cardinal guides", among which the stepping method is five fights in the southeast and northwest. Later, the 28-night gang, the five-star plan of the sun, the moon and so on were deduced. These are relatively basic and commonly used outline methods. The most basic kind of fighting gang is called Beidou Xuanshugang. There is only the Big Dipper on the map. Take the name of the star as the step name when stepping forward, and take the name of the star as the step name when turning back. Twenty-eight nights symbolizes twenty-eight nights in the sky-ancient China divided the sky into twenty-eight different regions, which were called twenty-eight nights and were marked with corresponding stars. They are the representatives of the whole sky, and the steps symbolize the rotation of buckets and the coming of Sunday.
The basic function of Buju is to symbolize flying for nine days and forbid foreign objects and ghosts. Gang, also known as the highest heaven and the lowest earth, so Bu's first function is to follow the map. It is believed that he has ascended to heaven for nine days, traveled across Kyushu, traveled around the world and flew to fairyland. Among them, the most basic ones are the big gaps and buckets in the river map, which are referred to as gaps and buckets for short. In fact, it is the original Big Dipper. The Big Dipper and two auxiliary stars are used as the map, but the river map and the divinatory symbols listed are used as the specifications. It can be used after winter solstice and summer solstice. The former began with divination and moved in one place; The latter moves from divination to position. The nine figures in the river map represent nine regions in the sky, or nine planets, such as Brahma Camp (Kanyi), Rentian (Kuner), Tianzhu (Zhensan), Tianxin (Xunsi), Qin Tian (Secondary Five), Tianfu (Liu Gan), Tian Chong (Duiqi), Tian Rui (Genba) and Tianfeng. When walking, recite the mantra and point out the direction, symbolic meaning and strength of the steps in turn. For example, the last step of "Winter Solstice" uses the mantra: "Fight for twelve days, ride on the highest day, and you will feel like a cloud." Seven stars move to the sky, knowing whether the change is good or bad. Entering the house across the sky, step six rhythm (press: refers to rhythm. The ancients thought that rhythm was connected with the running rhythm of heaven and earth, and the six-step rhythm refers to the rhythm of stepping on the rhythm. ) Persevere in Party A and Party B (by: refers to heavenly dryness, and changes instantly. )。 Walking in the sky, I am eager to ascend to heaven. I am cold and deep, but I can be Lu Chen. Rely on Tianzhu, embrace Tianxin, and climb to the sky from now on. Looking up at the sky, the sky is full of surprises. Go home, combine rigidity with softness, add happiness and stay in the future. I'm a thousand years old. After the sun rises, you follow each other step by step, and you can drive away all evil spirits and avoid all evil spirits. As urgent as law. As can be seen from this mantra, this mantra mainly refers to flying in the sky, which has various supernatural functions of eliminating disasters and avoiding evil spirits. Together with the Twenty-Eight Nights Gang, the Moon, the Moon and the Five-Star Gang, it represents a certain area or fairyland in the sky, so we should keep these scenes in mind when we step forward.
For example, there is a bright star bead, and there are two methods, one is eight steps and the other is three steps. Taoist priests have to take this step every time they burn incense. While walking, I chanted a mantra: "Jade Qing is a vegetarian, and the Great Brahman is distracted. Yuangang flow, star bead crown week. As urgent as the law. " And think about the three realms. The Three Realms refer to Jade Qing, Shangqing and Taiqing, where Sanqing God lives. In the step-by-step mantra, the Taoist priest lights incense, which is equivalent to moving the stars in the sky to the ground, so it depends on step by step. There is also a representative of Kyushu in this gang, called Kyushu Gang. Kyushu refers to the Kyushu of Yong, Liang, Yan, Yang, Qing, Xu, Yu and Ji. The ancients used it to represent the whole land of China, so walking means touring the whole land. Another religious function of Bu Gang is to ban ghosts and gods and foreign objects. It turns out that Yu Bu and Bu Gang have both the meaning of flying for nine days and the function of forbidding ghosts and gods. However, in the later development, they gradually became specialized, some of which were mainly flying for nine days, while others were more prominent.
For example, the thunder method breaks ground and thunders, breaking through the yin and releasing the yang, so thunder occurs. Another example is the possession in the examination method, so that ghosts and gods can be attached to children or other pre-designated people; The tiger god Xiao called the coffin, and in the ceremony of breaking the seclusion, he was called General Tiger (the god responsible for chasing ghosts). Because the main function of Taoist magic is to use supernatural power to change foreign objects and control the changes of foreign objects; The gods they believe in live in heaven or fairyland and must have supernatural ability to enter their world. It is considered to have such ability, so it is widely used in magic and becomes the basic means of Taoism.

Pinch tactic is also called grip tactic, twist tactic, pinch tactic, method tactic, hand tactic, spirit tactic, and sometimes it is also called bucket tactic, which is one of the basic methods of Taoism. It refers to pinching some parts on the palm and fingers or forming a fixed posture between fingers to attract ghosts and gods and ward off evil spirits. Together with line, it is the basic body movement of Tao and line.
Taoist chanting, chanting Buddha, walking, sealing the altar, calling generals, forbidding gas, collecting evil spirits, treating diseases, praying and praying, etc. Should be equipped with corresponding strategies. The real secret of the old gentleman in Taishang to help the country and save the people, Volume 9: "When walking, asking about diseases, treating diseases, entering temples, crossing rivers, entering mountains, and writing symbols, you must pinch your eyes.
Pinch tactics are inherited from the ancient art of banning poisonous gas. In the development of Taoism, it has been developed and perfected on the basis of its own divine spectrum and magic theory, forming a huge system of hand tactics.
The basic component of the hand tactic is the tactic text: the tactic text refers to the fixed part on the fingers of the palm, symbolizing the Big Dipper, Twelve Stories, Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams, Twenty-eight Nights and so on. For example, on the nine joint lines of the second, third and fourth fingers, the middle line of the third finger (middle finger) is Jiugong Chinese, and the other eight joint lines are gossip (according to the obtained gossip position, the joint line from the root of the fourth finger is dry text); On the second to fifth fingers, there are twelve scriptures about ugliness, yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu and Hai. Every time you pinch this, it symbolizes catching gossip, twelfth birthday, twenty-eight nights and so on. Because the ancients often used the Eight Diagrams, the Big Dipper and the Twenty-eight Nights to symbolize the operation of astronomical phenomena in the universe, the mysteries of nature, the changes of spatial position and time, a condensed picture of the universe was formed in the hands through formulas, just as the Yin Fu Jing said, "The universe cares about the hands and everything is born in the body." A formula is composed of formula text and other finger-to-finger connection methods. Usually, a formula refers to a formula. Simple tactical items only pinch one tactic, while complex tactical items pinch multiple tactical items at the same time or in turn. For example, when flying and twisting Beidou, we should quickly twist the seven points in this article. If there is fashion, you should add knots between your fingers and palms, or even use both hands.
Twelve Chen Wen pinch method is as follows:
Wen Zi, hold the roots of four fingers with your thumb. The joint line between the palm and fingers. The same below. )
If it's ugly, pinch the roots of three fingers with your big finger.
Yin Wen, the big finger grips the roots of two fingers.
Mao Wen, the thumb pinches the second finger (from the root) between the first and second joints (on the joint line. The same below. )。
Chen Wen, the big finger is sandwiched between the second and third quarters.
After the text, the big finger grips the top of two fingers.
In the afternoon, thumb pinches the top of three fingers.
Uneven, big finger grips the top of four fingers.
Shen Wen, hold the tips of five fingers with your thumb.
Juventus, the thumb is sandwiched between the second and third sections of the five fingers.
Wen, the thumb is pinched between the first and second sections of the five fingers.
Wenhai, hold the roots of five fingers with your thumb.
Gossip and Jiugongwen:
Dry text, big fingers pinch four fingers.
Kun Wen, the thumb is sandwiched between the second and third sections of the fourth finger.
Calvin, hold the roots of three fingers with your thumb.
From the text, the big finger is sandwiched between the third finger and the third section.
Genwen, the big finger pinches the roots of two fingers.
In shock, the thumb is pinched between the first and second sections of the second finger.
Xun Wen, the big finger is sandwiched between the second and third quarters.
Facing the text, the thumb is sandwiched between the first and second sections of the four fingers.
The purpose of the tactic is mainly based on the Taoist spectrum and the object to be dealt with: as mentioned earlier, the so-called pinching tactic means pinching a tactic. A tactic consists of a tactic, and a simple tactic contains only one tactic. In this sense, it can be used together with a tactic. There are a large number of tactical items, and each sect is often drawn into a tactical spectrum, which is given, accepted and used in this sect. The design of tactical purpose is generally based on the immortal pedigree and the object to be dealt with.
According to the formula of immortal pedigree, it typically shows the characteristics of Taoism and the difference between witchcraft and magic scattered among the people. The pedigree of Taoism is extremely huge, and there are some differences between different Taoist schools. But as far as the law is concerned, there are three categories that are often involved: respect for god, respect for ancestors and respect for god. Each category has its own formula. The common strategies related to worshipping God are Jade Qing, Taiqing, Shangqing and Beidi. Jade Qing tactic, also known as God tactic and Jade Emperor tactic, is written on the middle finger. On the chapter table, when commanding the immortal military forces and the plague messenger, it choked. The supernatant tactic is written on the upper part of the middle finger for use when calling the Qing soldiers; Another way is to pinch it under the middle finger nail and use it when you are sick. It's too clear It's under the middle finger. Sometimes, the tactics related to respecting gods are not directly called respecting gods, but expressed by their mounts and equipment. For example, in the alchemy instrument, Taiyi Tianzun was invited to the altar, and the master pinched the lion: the left and right palms crossed together, the big finger of the left hand was bent in the palm, and the other nine fingers were exposed. It turns out that the mount of Taiyi Buddha is nine lions, and this gesture is symbolized by the exposure of nine fingers. Similarly, the lotus tactic, the lotus, and the pig's head tactic symbolize the arrival of Dou Lao. It turns out that Doulao often sits cross-legged on the lotus, and his name is dragnet beast. Figuratively speaking, the pig's head has horns, so it is a symbol of taking over the bean fishing and driving.
Shi Tian's tactic and mentoring's tactic are the most important among the ancestors' tactics, which represent the arrival of the ancestors or sects. Sometimes the mage wants to incarnate as Shi Tian to command magic soldiers to exorcise evil spirits. Pinch method is to pinch the first section with the left thumb and middle finger.
The number of tactical commands representing God will be the largest. Because there are many Taoist gods, and the gods used by different factions will be different. More importantly, there is a marshal's tactics, which represents Marshal Lei. The prison formula represents the prison of the military horse that is the magic weapon of the commander in chief; Tianding formula represents Tianding leaving the stone; The formula of Gongcao represents Gongcao that summons gods to manage archives. Others are Sun Jun formula, Yue Jun formula and five-star formula representing Sun Jun.
As for the objects to be dealt with and the design strategies of related scientific instruments, it is even more difficult to count. Because there are many kinds of spells for healing, exorcism, quenching and disaster relief, there are also a large number of corresponding spells. This tactical command is named after the evil things they have to deal with, such as tiger orders and ghost orders; Some are summoned by the actions of the mage, such as evil spirits, forbidding ghosts, and holding the thunder bureau; There are also artifacts and means, such as trident tactic, sword tactic, golden bridge tactic and so on. All related spell systems are drawn into a formula spectrum, which clearly indicates that the mage must strictly follow the formula when executing the method. There are many kinds of tactical items, and here are only their main types. Because of their symbols, they are mainly used to express invitations or summon God.
Spirit, or express the spirit of the gods, restrain ghosts and gods. The above spells and steps, together with the use of swords, seals, coffins, spiritual maps, demon mirrors and other instruments, constitute the basic means and methods of practicing dharma.

There are often spells, tricks, steps, etc. In the witchcraft ceremony of Taoism, it becomes the basic means of Taoism together with calligraphy symbols. Taoist priests practice magic by chanting spells and pinching tricks to enhance people's confidence in defeating evil. These incantations themselves have cultural functions, which enable human beings to maintain psychological balance and have confidence in life in the face of uncontrollable alien forces.
Mantra is a mysterious language, which is considered to have an induction or prohibition effect on ghosts and gods or natural objects. Mantras are often combined with the incantation of "forbidding" ghosts and gods and foreign objects with human qi, which is called forbidden incantation. Sometimes it appears with a spell, which is called a spell. Taoist priests often resort to some intermediaries when chanting spells, such as water and dates. These water and dates that have been cursed also have the effect of spells.
There is a high affirmation of the effectiveness of door spells. "Tai Shang Zheng Yi Ghost Classic Curse" says: "Do I contain heaven and earth? Curse poison to kill ghosts, curse gold to sell one's body, curse wood to break one's body, curse water to exhaust one's body, curse fire to destroy one's body, curse landslide to break one's body, curse ghost to commit suicide, curse prayer to break one's body, curse self-determination, curse poison to disperse one's body and curse to destroy one's body. Taoist priests believe that there are powerful gods who constantly pass down spells hidden in the sky, and when chanting spells, they will summon tens of thousands or even millions of heavenly soldiers to serve. Therefore, the more spells used in Taoism, the wider their scope of application.
Spells are widely used in Taoism: there are Jingtan spells and Zhentan spells in Taoism; There is a Ling Wei curse before going to the altar; There is rhyme in the painting; There is a pressing curse; Before reciting the Yun Xuan mantra; As for the summoning curse, Taoist books record as many gods and officials; There are also corresponding spells to kill ghosts, control demons and catch demons. In this sense, there is no Taoist magic without magic.
At the same time, spells have penetrated into every link of Taoist daily life and merged into their personality. Taoists should recite incantations when washing their hands, eating, bathing and having their hair cut. Not only the orthodox church is good at chanting spells, but Quanzhen Road also has corresponding spells.
Features of Taoist incantations: incantations are not unique to Taoism, but also used by other religions such as Buddhism, especially Tantric Buddhism, which is famous for chanting incantations (Dalagni). Spells originated from the worship of language magic by primitive religious ancestors, and later became the core component of witchcraft. Taoism inherits and develops witchcraft spells and absorbs some Buddhist spells, but generally speaking, Taoist spells have their own characteristics.
Taoist formulas are commonly used as "as the law", "as urgent as the law" and "as urgent as the old gentleman's law". This is because Taoism flourished in the Han Dynasty, and there was such a term as "Rufa" in the imperial edicts and speeches of the Han Dynasty. "Such as laws and regulations" means to implement them in accordance with laws and regulations, and the tone is that those who violate the law will be prosecuted. This kind of official rhetoric about the authority of laws was first absorbed by folk wizards. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the wizard raised the article of "raising the tomb door" (that is, in the funeral, the tomb was hated, which made people and ghosts part ways, and ghosts did not harm outsiders), ending with "like a decree". The simple sentence of the interpretation of the text is: "A hundred solutions are like the law! This curse was absorbed by Taoism, but it also produced some changes, mainly by embedding the name of God. The most common ones are "the old gentleman is as anxious as the law" and "the old gentleman is as anxious as the law"; Some even added the words "photo", "trouble" and "disease" after it to show that you can't make mistakes when you press the spell hastily. Here are a few examples.
There is a flag-opening mantra when summoning magic soldiers to collect demons and break evil spirits: "Thunder thunders, become a general, soar to the ground, drive thunder away from the clouds, fight in teams for thousands of times, attract magic soldiers, and open the flag and shout urgently." As urgent as the law! "This spell is called the Divine Miner, also called SHEN WOO, which also shows where their role lies. Then explain that opening the flag (calling the flag) will summon them to come, and let them come at once without delay. Finally, it ends with "hurry as a law".
This formula of Taoist incantations is an obvious feature that distinguishes them from Buddhist incantations which mainly recite Buddhist names.
This structure of Taoist incantations first shows that it is endowed by heaven, so it is also magical. Calling the old gentleman too high, Xiao Yu, the true god king, and Tianshi all directly told him to summon the gods and suppress evil spirits. For the low-level gods who serve the mage, they are called by their first names to show their ability to control. Therefore, the implementation of Taoist incantations is closely related to the whole immortal pedigree, which shows their beliefs and reflects the way they practice their beliefs. However, calling God's name is not a unique phenomenon of Tao incantation, or even a unique phenomenon of incantation. Christians always say "in the name of Jesus Christ" after praying. This is a sign of strong trust and admiration for God. Therefore, the naming of gods in Taoist incantations shows the belief and dependence of many religions on gods, but their respective gods have different faces. It can better express the characteristics of Taoist incantations in the following aspects: it shows that incantations are orders to the prayed objects, and "Rufa" not only urges them, but also emphasizes that their orders must be executed, and those who fail to execute them will be punished according to law. The content of the incantation clearly explains the purpose of the command, which is highly utilitarian, which is the characteristic of the traditional culture of China in Taoist incantation. Generally speaking, China people's attitude towards religion is mainly to pray to solve the immediate difficulties and pray for peace. There is a considerable gap between western society and Indians in their devotion to the gods. For example, the "Lord's Night Mantra" from India: "Shiva plays at the bottom of the waves", it is said that reading at night can ward off evil spirits. But its text is actually a transliteration of the night god worshipped by Indians. The important mantra of Buddhism, dzogchen, Bodhisattva with a thousand hands and a thousand eyes, and great compassion does not hinder Dalagni, is a well-known mercy mantra among the people. * * * There are 84 sentences, all of which express the meaning of converting to Guanyin, and 83 sentences are the names of bodhisattvas (including Guanyin in various disguised forms). Buddhists believe that this spell is extremely powerful and widely used. Dalagni, a merciful man, recorded in detail the methods of using it to treat diseases, induce labor, detoxify, drive away snakes, scorpions and so on. As far as the function is concerned, the Buddhist mantra and the Taoist mantra have many similarities or similarities, but they are quite different in structure. The great compassion mantra is characterized by requiring people to convert first. If they convert, once they read it, Guanyin can help solve all kinds of magical difficulties until they take him to the western paradise. The spell itself is conversion. Tao curse is to directly drive away ghosts and gods or accomplish things that ordinary people can't accomplish, even incredible things. The realistic purpose is the premise, and the worship of God is centered on immediate interests. This feature of Taoist incantations stipulates that the scope of application of each spell is relatively narrow, so Taoist incantations are highly targeted and numerous.
No gas when chanting: When chanting, it is often required to unify the gods (thoughts) related to luck in the body with the thoughts in the heart. It is believed that internal gas can act on objects in this way, so that objects can be controlled or changed accordingly. This method is called forbidden spell, also called qi forbidden, or simply forbidden. The method of "Ban Qi" has been used in ancient witchcraft in China. Ge Hong in the Jin Dynasty wrote the Inner Chapter of Bao Puzi. Zhi Li: "Wu Yue has a spell-forbidding method, which is very effective. (This is why) the mage is full of energy. " (Wu Yue has an incantation method, which is very experienced and full of anger. According to archaeological discoveries in recent years, wuyue is not the only place where no gas is allowed. Chu, Shu and other regions have similar magic. According to Ge Hong's records, the application scope of the curse is very wide, including not being infected when entering a major epidemic, expelling evil spirits, prohibiting tigers, leopards, snakes and bees, saving lives, and even prohibiting water from flowing backwards. Qi-banning was absorbed by Taoism and became a part of Taoism. There is a kind of "Qi-forbidding" in Taoist Twenty-four, which is an important part of the whole spell system. Generally speaking, Taoist chanting is accompanied by the release of internal qi, which acts on objects (usually called emanative qi, also called transporting internal qi), so it puts forward certain requirements for Taoist refining qi at ordinary times.

The origin of Luo Tian University and Luo Tian University: Luo Tian University is the name of a large-scale Taoist comprehensive ceremony. Luo Tian, the Great Luo Tian, Taoism refers to the highest point above the three realms of heaven. The supreme secret says that the heaven is "boundless above the three realms", and Luo Tian refers to the name of offering sacrifices, which is a great statement about the number of gods offering sacrifices, the high taste, the long time, the large scale, the wide purpose and the number of Taoists attending the ceremony. The original meaning of ceremony is ceremony. Song Yu's "Gao Tang Mi" said that "seeking to turn to the palace and worship the gods means offering sacrifices to the gods". In the Jin Dynasty, Yi and Zhai were in opposition. The Divine Mantra Sutra of Taishang East Hospital said that "Zhai's cultivation and Yi's establishment are not based on the examination of scientific instruments". After the Tang Dynasty, "Zhai" and "Yi" were usually used together to refer to Taoist ceremonies. Therefore, Yi is the Taoist name for its sacrificial ceremony. According to the "Rhubarb Surrey", "If you delay the true descent and beg for blessings, it is called' Yi'." After the Ming Dynasty, the door and people mostly replaced Zhai with foreigners, and Luo Tian's name became popular.
Contents and characteristics of Luo Tian's big instrument: There are scientific and technological documents named after Luo Tian's big instrument in the Taoist books of the Ming Dynasty, such as Li Yi by Luo Tian, The Big Three Dynasties Instrument by Luo Tian, The Classic of Lingxuanbao Tianzun by Taishangdong, etc. According to the records of Luotian's sense of justice, Luotian's sense of justice invited the gods of heaven and earth, such as "Sanqing Supreme, Shifang Shangsheng, Yujing Jinque Tiandi Naive, Shifang Shizun Zhong Sheng, Sanjie Guan Shu and Zhudaling". The purpose of the ceremony is for the peace of the country and the people, to repent of sins, to pray for longevity, to recommend ancestors, and so on. Luotian banquet is relatively large in scale and lasts for a long time, usually lasting for three days, five days, seven days and so on. Every day's ceremony is different, so the content is very rich. Luotian Dayi was also called Sunday Dayi or Putian Dayi in Song Dynasty. According to the custom of the gate, in the Song Dynasty, there were "2,400 divisions" for offering sacrifices to the gods on Sundays and "3,600 divisions" for offering sacrifices to the gods in Putian. There are only two kinds of rituals: "The court can repair it, the minister can repair it for the country, but Shu Ren is not allowed to repair it." At present, Taoism in Hongkong, Macau and Taiwan Province Province often holds ceremonies of peace and tranquility. Judging from its content, it was the Luo Tianda ceremony held by the local people themselves at the invitation of Taoist priests.
