What kinds of fruits do five fruits refer to?

The folk religious beliefs in Taiwan Province Province originated from Fujian and Guangdong, both internally and externally. China people have very tolerant views on religion. There have been several foreign religions in history, some of which have been absorbed or even carried forward, such as Buddhism. Some have not grown up, but it is not excluded, such as Islam and Christianity. As for Taoism, although it is China's own religion, its teachings are gradually moving closer to Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and the common people regard Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism as a common belief. Therefore, from the analysis, we can see that the folk belief background in Taiwan Province Province is based on the so-called elf belief handed down from ancient China, and then integrates the spirit of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism.

Jade Emperor:

Commonly known as providence, the ancestor of providence, the Jade Emperor God. Taoism calls the highest god in the sky the Jade Emperor, just like the emperor on the earth, who is in charge of 72 places for 36 days and the affairs of one god, Buddha, fairy, sage, man and hell. According to The Jade Emperor Collection, the Prince of Guangming Miaole Kingdom gave up the throne to fix the truth in Xiangyanshan Middle School to help the country save the people. After hundreds of millions of robberies, he survived and eventually became the jade emperor. It is said that the Jade Emperor is the "deity" of Taoism.

Pay attention to the birth of the queen:

Note that a maiden's priesthood is to distribute her children to each family. Generally, she will worship this god in order to have a baby or give birth safely. What if she is pregnant and has an abortion? According to folklore, after death, the crime of abortion will be "immersed in Xichi", while when alive, it will affect one of the three things: wealth means "fortune", children means "children" and life means "longevity". So advise the world not to have an abortion all the way. Queen Zhu can't accept a baby's soul. Therefore, if you want to help the baby's spirit, please save the bitter Buddha for extradition, because different clergy, you should ask the God of Wealth to help make up your wealth.

Holy mother of heaven:

Mazu, commonly known as Mazu, is a goddess revered by people along the Yangtze River and coastal areas in China, with a history of thousands of years. In the fifth year of Song Xuanhe, all dynasties had titles of nobility, which were respected by officials and people. In the fifty-ninth year of Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty, the imperial court listed it as a memorial ceremony. In the eleventh year of Emperor Yongzheng, it ordered the coastal provinces of China to build temples and offer sacrifices in the Spring and Autumn Ancestral Hall. The province with the most worship and temples is Taiwan Province Province. Immigrants from Taiwan Province Province all come from the sea, so the Virgin Mary is very popular in Taiwan Province Province. Mazu Tempel has the largest number of believers and temples in Taiwan Province.

In September 1978, Song Taizong was peaceful and rejuvenating the country for three years, and Mo Niang was nineteen years old. His father and brother didn't listen to Mo Niang's advice and crossed the sea to the north. Unexpectedly, the sea was rough and the hurricane hit. As Mo Niang was spinning at home, she fell asleep at her desk when she was tired. She dreamed that her father and brother were killed at sea, and then she jumped into the sea. She is the father in mouth and the brother in hand, and she is fighting in the waves of Wu Bo. Her mother's name was Mo Ming, and Mo Niang was away for a while, so she agreed, and her father was swept away by the waves. Mo Niang woke up and told her mother that she thought it was not credible. However, soon the evil consumption came, his father was in the sea, and only his brother was free, as seen in a dream; The silent mother was sad and bitter, but she practiced devoutly and was determined to save countless people who were killed at sea. Later, he became famous for his disaster relief and was honored as the patron saint of the ocean.

Guanyin bodhisattva:

Legend has it that in 500 BC, when the King of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was in power, there was a small country-Xinglin Kingdom in the border area of India, surrounded by powerful enemies, and it had to fight every year. The king of this country, Miao Zhuang Wang, is headstrong, irritable and moody. Xinglin country is famous for casting knives, dominating one side, and Wang has a strong mentality of annexing other countries. Wang has three daughters, big princess is beautiful and vain, the second princess is arrogant and jealous, and Princess Miaoshan is the third daughter of Wang. She is compassionate, kind-hearted and has a bodhisattva heart. She has been able to communicate with animals since she was a child. She has a good medical skill and is filial to her parents. He often solved the disputes between his father and neighboring countries in various ways, and always cared about the disabled soldiers and civilians, which was deeply loved by the people. At that time, there were no words in the countryside of Xinglin. Princess Miaoshan went deep into the Central Plains and brought the Central Plains culture back to Xinglin. Only then did writing and culture spread in Xinglin County. After Princess Miaoshan explained Confucianism, Confucianism spread to the West.

King Miao Zhuang did not hesitate to resort to force for hegemony, which made the country prosperous both inside and outside and the people in trouble. However, his minister, You Yituo, was good at witchcraft, playing tricks repeatedly and usurping the throne. His son Van Gogh married the second daughter of King Miao Zhuang, and the father and son made many troubles. In order to save her father, Princess Miaoshan risked her life to find a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, but she was severely punished by the king under the injury of Yutoy and Van Gogh. Things changed, and Wang learned that it was a misunderstanding, but it was too late. Later, Wang repented and decided to practice for life to atone for his sins.

Sakyamuni:

Originally the Prince of Sakyamuni, he became a monk at the age of 29, and studied meditation under the then famous Samanas Alologaro and Uto jarama. He soon finished everything they taught him, but it didn't satisfy his wishes. After six years of penance, in one night of meditation, he experienced the four realms of Zen in turn, and then continued to concentrate and go all out to realize the truth of life, and reached enlightenment that night. From then on, he was called the Buddha. He preached everywhere and organized a group of monks until his death in 486 BC. Referred to as "Sakyamuni" Buddhism founded by him, together with Christianity and Islam, has become one of the three major religions in the world.

According to legend, after the death of Buddha, disciples burned the Buddha's body and got four teeth, phalanges, skulls, hair and other things in the ashes. The disciples raised the relic, Buddha, and worshipped him. Later, King Ashoka took out all the relics, divided them into 84,000 pieces, put them into treasure letters, and built towers around the world to support them, many of which were introduced to China.

1987 The Buddhist relics were excavated in the underground palace of Famen Temple, which has been dreamed of by the Buddhist community for thousands of years. It's a middle phalanx of Buddha.

Earth treasure bodhisattva:

Because this bodhisattva is "as peaceful as the earth and as deep as a secret", it is called a treasure house. According to the Bodhisattva's Original Wish, "I was instructed by Nigemei to keep the world in the Buddha-free world after the death of Sakyamuni and before the birth of Maitreya, to educate all sentient beings and free all sentient beings from drowning in hell, hungry ghosts and animals. And he swore that "hell is not empty and will never become a Buddha." "I swear, before I want to become a Buddha, appear in the hell on earth and save my suffering, I will try my best to live among the six sentient beings.

Prince ye:

Taiwan Province province folk commonly known as the "prince", is Li. Taoism regards her as the general protector, and all plagues, or people who want to exorcise evil spirits, worship the prince to solve the problem. In view of the great power of Prince Nezha, people revere his bravery, so they call him "Prince Ye" to offer sacrifices. Most admirers are soldiers. Taoism regards him as one of the commanders of the five battalions. When Taoist priests cast spells, they would respectfully show that Nezha helped exorcise evil spirits. The ninth day of the ninth lunar month is Prince Edward's birthday.

Guan Jun:

Guan Sheng Di Jun, referred to as Guan Di, is commonly known as Guan Gong or Guan Di Ye among the people. He was a famous Guan Yu in Shu during the Three Kingdoms period. Guan Yu is also the only god worshipped by Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, and Buddhism regards him as a protector. Taoism and Confucianism regard him as a symbol of "loyalty" and respectfully call him "Guan Jun". Today, the "Guandi Temple" all over the country is still flourishing.

Another reason for the brotherhood is folk belief. "Guan Jun" became sworn in with Liu and Zhang in Taoyuan, not seeking to be born on the same day in the same year, but to die on the same day in the same year. Forget the rich and the poor, care for the rich and the poor, and care for life and death. This style greatly touched future generations, so the wind of becoming sworn became a common practice. This trend was particularly prevalent in Taiwan Province Province in the Qing Dynasty. Because most of the immigrants from Fujian and Guangdong who moved to Taiwan Province Province at that time were bachelors, they needed to unite with each other in order to open up wasteland and resist foreign invasion, so people with different surnames called each other brothers everywhere. It can be seen how important Guan Jun's influence was in Qing Dynasty.

Wenchang Emperor:

Only one thing must be remembered. Worshipped offerings must be taken home and cooked for candidates, and there is a taboo in folk customs that celery, onion and garlic cannot be cooked with meatball eggs, so as not to make candidates get a zero egg or die.

Bao Shengdi:

Landlord:

Ford is a god, commonly known as the land Lord, or simply the land. There are many legends about Ford Shen Zheng. It is said that Ford Shen Zheng, surnamed Zhang Mingfu, was born in Zhou Wuwang on February 2, 2002. He was smart and filial since childhood. At the age of thirty-six, the official to the court's chief tax officer is an honest official; Zhou Muwang died three years ago at the age of 102. Three days after his death, his appearance remained unchanged, and a poor household surrounded four big stones and worshipped God in a stone house. Soon after, he became rich from poverty, and the people believed in God's blessing. Building a temple and worshiping money is a joint venture, so businessmen often worship money.

It is also said that the landlord was the servant of the Zhou Dynasty scholar-officials. In order to prevent the young lady from catching cold, he undressed her, but he froze to death. At this time, the "Big Fairy Castle in the Nantianmen" appeared in the sky. The scholar-officials thanked him for his kindness and built a temple to worship him. When he was in Zhou Wuwang, he got a gift, and later generations addressed him as the landlord. Or spread the tyranny of Qin Shihuang, and recruited people to build the Great Wall in Wan Li, and her husband Han was recruited and died at the gate. Meng Jiangnu found her husband, but she cried down the Great Wall of Wan Li, revealing countless unrecognizable bones. When an old man said: the blood of his wife drips into the bone, if the bone is stained with blood, it is the husband's bone. I'm sure he can't find it either. If he does, he'll keep the tomb for him. Meng Jiangnv looked for her husband's bones with blood and tears. The bones gradually became muscular, as if there was life. The old man reappeared and said that he could bag them and carry them. Meng jiangnu followed her words and her bones recovered at once. Meng Jiangnu was furious and asked the old man to keep the grave for her husband. This is the origin of the legend of Hou Di. As the patron saint of the local village community, the Land Lord manages a certain amount of land and lots, so there is a saying that the Land Lord in Zhuangtou Wei Zhuang is everywhere and worshipped by everyone. Businessmen and farmers offer sacrifices more devoutly.
