Folklore starts from the blood god of Xiangxi

Chapter 70 God Seal (13)

Teacher Ma's studio can be described as orderly in chaos. Teacher Ma's studio is in a very elegant place in a certain first-tier city, in the suburbs. In the office, there is only one large and amazing desk.

There are books above and below the table, and an all-in-one computer is incompatible with those books.

On the screen of the all-in-one machine is a scanned version of ancient text.

It is very large, which is convenient for the elderly to read.

Right in front of the desk.

In front of the screen is Teacher Ma.

There is also a custom-made bookshelf for the whole house next to it.

All of them are books.

It's like a library here.

Even the fire hydrant at the door was buried under the books, which was terrifying.

This house, um, yes, is a fire bobblehead house.

Teacher Ma was sitting in the pile of books, holding a large-screen mobile phone, and yelling at his old friend.

My old friend is making tea next to me.

A glass, half a cup of water and half a cup of tea. Hearing his old friend call him, Xu Laojiang spit the tea in his mouth into the cup and stood up.

"Shout, what are you shouting, you have the loudest voice."

That's what he said, and Mr. Xu yelled.

Called by an old friend, he walked over and leaned in front of the phone screen
"Um……"

Seeing this mark, Elder Xu also fell silent. He scratched his hair with his little finger, straightened his waist, hammered his lower back, and pulled out a book from the next bookshelf.

Flipping through the book, he quickly flipped through the book without making a sound.

Teacher Ma didn't urge him either.

Old Xu spread the book out and found the news he wanted, then put it in front of Teacher Ma, pointed to the picture on it and said, "Hey, this painting looks quite similar, even Shen Yun.

Isn't this the seal of the land god?

Look, do these two paintings resemble each other? This is exactly the same as the land god seal unearthed in the Han tomb!

This kid is really talented. "

"Earth seal?"

This time, Teacher Ma also remembered.

"Yes, this is the seal of the land god."

Mr. Ma slapped his thigh and said, he uses handwriting input method, and he writes very slowly, so he asked Xiao Chen, the friend opposite, if Fang was inconvenient to listen to the voice, he sent the voice over.

[I'll make a voice call, is it convenient for you? 】

Lin Feng: [It's convenient, it's convenient for me, Mr. Ma, come here for your convenience]

Teacher Ma: [60S voice]

Teacher Ma: [60S voice]

Teacher Ma: [60S voice]

Lin Feng: "..."

Teacher Ma is really a sincere person.

It can be seen that Teacher Ma is really serious and responsible.

Lin Feng opened it and listened one by one.

It seems that there are two people over there, both are old people, and the two old people still quarrel.

But the words are clear.

【Ah, little friend, this is what you showed me. This is the God Seal of the Land, but it’s from a long time ago】

[You draw very well, you can tell at a glance, your art foundation is really good, oh, where are you talking?God of the land, yes, yes, the god of the land]

[The belief in the land god has existed since ancient times, but like other gods, the belief in the land god is always changing.]

[How should I put it, let me give you an example, it may not be appropriate]

Another old man's voice cut in.

[Okay, stop talking so much nonsense and talk dry stuff]

Teacher Ma was angry.

[How about you say it! 】

The corner of Lin Feng's mouth twitched, leaving Xiangxi, he felt much happier.

He found it interesting to listen to the old man's bickering.

As long as there is no ghost of more than ten feet coming out of the window.

Lin Feng felt that the world was bright and lovely.

Lin Feng even found it interesting to watch Qiwuhai under the king.

Next to Teacher Ma, the other old man got angry. He probably snatched the phone and talked with it himself.

[I said it, I said it!

Give me the phone.

My little friend, the symbol you drew is the standard seal of the land god. According to our opinion, it is probably the common seal of the land god in the Han Dynasty.

What you drew is exactly the same as the seal of the God of Earth unearthed in the Han tomb, even if it is a copy, it is standard, but the seal of the God of Land is rarely seen after the Han Dynasty]

[We all know that after the Song Dynasty, the land god gradually began to change into the house god, do you know the house god? 】

Lin Feng actually wanted to say that he didn't know, please explain carefully.

I am illiterate, you should popularize knowledge to elementary school students.

After all, it is quite rare to meet a knowledgeable intellectual who is willing to tell you the whole story.

Squeeze the wool, just squeeze it thoroughly.

Lin Feng: [Teacher, explain carefully]

Over there, when Teacher Xu saw Lin Feng's words, he sat down on a stack of books, honked the small horn and started teaching.

Not showing off.

I have been a teacher for half my life, and I have an occupational disease.

[The meaning of family gods actually means that the gods have transformed into a small-scale god who protects family members for your family. That is what we say, the gods are universalized and folk-customized.

But you also know that the ancient family is not the same thing as the modern family.

There were many people in ancient families, so the family gods were the gods who protected dozens or hundreds of people in a family. After all, Zhaojia Village, Qianjia Village and so on are still left. A village is actually a family with the same surname.

In ancient times, there were many big families like this, especially after the Song Dynasty. Although the clan system disappeared, the clan and the huge family system established because of being an official have never melted]

【Land belief has always been one of the most basic beliefs in our bones】

[However, it has become a house god, not since ancient times. In the earliest days, the house god was the kitchen god, the door god.Later, after the Song Dynasty, didn’t the emperor of the Song Dynasty like to enshrine the gods, the heaven gradually changed towards the bureaucratic system of the Song Dynasty, and the status of the gods of Dongyue Taishan was unprecedentedly elevated.

The gods are also like human beings, with a heaven, which is another small court that converges with the world.

In this small imperial court, the status of the land god also began to move closer to that of the house god, and his authority began to shrink sharply.

Finally, in the Ming Dynasty, it should be the Ming Dynasty, the land god has completely become the house god, at most it is a small god who protects a village, and the land is bigger than the village. The authority of the land has more city gods to govern with him]

【This is the decline of the land god】

[The land god was not like this at first, Journey to the West, Journey to the West, you know, the land god called by the monkey is actually similar to the land god of the house god, the author of Journey to the West, wrote about the land of the Ming Dynasty.

Take your land god sigil as an example.

In the Han Dynasty, the God of Earth was not only a stable party, but also had the duty of guiding the soul after death to meet the Yellow Emperor or the Queen Mother of the West.

Similar to Anubis in Egyptian mythology
We have seen your imprint many times on the tomb bricks of the Han tomb]

[We speculate that this mark, like some funerary objects we have seen later, is a rune to communicate with the land god, and it is also a rune to worship the land god.

After all, the earliest land gods were not actually kind gods.

Most of them, in order to maintain their own rule, are very cruel and tyrannical, not kind. In order to obtain the protection of the God of the Land, and to protect themselves from the God of the Land, some people, in order to curry favor with the God of the Land, When they died, they were given some preferential treatment, so it was prepared for the land god, and the offering of gold was also a specialty of the Han Dynasty.

Uh, it’s a bit far away. We talk about the land gods, the land gods. For these land gods, the people of the Han Dynasty respected them and often worshiped them. They are not like what we saw. They are small ones. The look of an old man.

They often appear in front of everyone in the form of various beasts]

Hearing this, inexplicably, Lin Feng remembered the Niutoushan land he saw in the mountains.

Say something.

The Niutoushan land he saw in the mountains.

It's really very similar to the land god that Mr. Xu said in his mouth!
