In fact, there is a deeper internal relationship between emptiness and perfection, and emptiness is the root of perfection. Perfection, as an banished thing, should also be understood in Nuo customs. "Yao Dian of Shangshu" says: "The starry night is the Mid-Autumn Festival." That is, one of the seven nights in northern Xuanwu, the virtual star surveys the sky, in the Mid-Autumn Festival. Mr. Lu Sixian pointed out that Qiu Si, a young man in China's ancient mythology, lived at the sunset in the west and set up a pole to measure the sunset scene. At this time, the sun is in the west and the shadow is in the east. Ancestors called it "anti-scenery" and quoted "Shan Hai Jing Er Jing San Jing": "The mountain that stays for a long time, its gods live there (according to China: less martial arts means less howling) ... but it is only the palace of God * [stone+ghost]. It is also a god, and the main part is against the scene. " It is believed that the word "* [stone+ghost]" comes from ghosts and gods, and "ghost palace" means "ghost palace" and "ghost country". The ancestors created the myth of ghosts and gods, which occupied the whole northwest sky from the autumn equinox to the end of winter to the sun. After the winter solstice, the Book of Rites Special Sacrifice for the Suburbs said,' The Emperor waxed it eight times' and' Those who waxed it also asked for it'. When the ghosts are exorcised, the festival of ghost treatment is over "(Myth and Archaeology No.221~ 222 by Lv Sixian, Cultural Relics Publishing House, l995ff-). Nuo is also closely related to sending Yin Qi and virtual stars. "Han Shu and Li Zhi" said that autumn belongs to the west and belongs to Shaoyin; It's cloudy in the north in winter. Yin Qi is prosperous in autumn and winter. "Book of Rites, Moon Order and Winter Moon": "Life has a teacher, and cows unearthed next to the big tent send cold. Zheng Xuan in the Eastern Han Dynasty noted: "This Nuo is also cloudy." . Yin starts here and starts this month. Through the empty danger, there is a tomb in the empty danger, and the gas of the four divisions. As a spectre, it will harm people with powerful yin. Confucius in the Tang Dynasty said, "Those who are angry with the four divisions for their grave in the air, Xiong cited the Master Star Classic, saying,' The master star is in the air north, the master star is in the north, the master star is in the north, and the master star is in the north'. Shi Qianyun:' The fourth division is the head of the ghost official.' There is another cloud:' The grave is four stars in the southeast of danger', which means danger, emptiness, grave and four divisions. "Visible in" Twenty-eight Nights ",Gong Bei's virtual lodging can be divided into Siming, Lu Si, Siwei and Sizhong. If1February becomes cloudy, it means that the spectre "harms others to strengthen yin" and needs to make a big fuss to get rid of it. So emptiness is the root of Shirley, and Shirley is caused by emptiness. Imagination and Shirley can be regarded as a word, which means spectre.

Look at consumption again. Consumption of words and characters are interlinked, so Kangxi dictionary says that consumption of Shuowen is consumption of rice. It is also said that "yin supplement" is used for consumption, reduction, defeat and emptiness. Consumption and emptiness are the same. Consumption also means "evil". "History of Empress Zhang Dedou in the Later Han Dynasty": "The family is ruined and the people are killed, and the number of jobs is consumed." Note "Zhang Sentence" is quoted as saying that "consumption is evil". I still say good and evil. "Consumption is still an Baal. Jin Gehong's "Zhen Juan in Bao Puzi's Inner Chapter" contains the sentence that "the moon consumes the spirit", and what goes around comes around comes around. It can be seen that the concept of control by the god of consumption appeared in a certain month. The god of evil consumption means evil.

It is worth noting that there was a custom of "abolishing Japan" in ancient times. Before quoting Tang Huilin's "The Sound and Meaning of Classics", he went on to record: "Different Garden" Day; Wherever the ghost goes, the property is lost and the treasure is exhausted. They are called ghosts and have different shapes and monsters. Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio is a collection of strange stories written by Liu, a native of Pengcheng in the Southern Dynasties. We have checked the Wen Yuan Pavilion's "Four Ku Quanshu", and in the eighth volume, two stories about waste ghosts are recorded:

The warehouses in Yuyao County were all sealed. When I opened them, I felt a great loss. Later, it was eaten by the double stone turtle on the tomb of Huan in Fuyang County, that is, the secret order destroyed the turtle mouth, so it was no longer worn out.

People's homes in Feixian County of Langya are constantly suffering from property losses. It is said that every time a thief presses a key, he often walks around the house. In this way, a hole in the fence can accommodate a person's arm, which is slippery and marked. So he drove with a rope and put it through the hole. At night, he suddenly heard a flutter and hid. He got a bun, which was three feet long. From then on, there is nothing to be redeemed.

It can be seen that the "Day of Different Gardens" in the article "The Sounds and Meanings of Various Classics" is the language summarized by Kelly, not the original text. These two stories in "Art Garden" are based on the story of Yuan Jia, the literary emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty in the 19th year, and should also be recorded in the Liu and Song Dynasties. In the former story, it was clearly stated that the tortoise monster could "consume" things in government warehouses, and the bun monster in the latter story could also steal things from locked people's homes. Huilin's summary of the ghost story in Foreign Garden is accurate. The above story in "Different Gardens" shows that people had the idea of wasting ghosts and stealing money during the Liu and Song Dynasties in the Southern Dynasties. Moreover, the previous story is about the loss of government warehouses, which is actually the origin of the custom of "abolishing Japan" mentioned by later generations.

There has been a record of "abolishing Japan" in the Tang Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, it was said that there were four poems in Zhang's Gong Yanji, namely, two poems called Drinking Every Day;

First of all:

It takes a long time to spread the news. It is not proper to cross the road vertically. But don't get drunk today. Turning over is fun.

Second:

From last month to today, it decreased and spread for a long time. I won't do anything, get drunk with the people.

It can be seen that there has been such a saying since ancient times that one wears away the sun and the morning time. On that day, the government "did nothing" and officials had the custom of drinking. According to the records in different gardens, this custom can be traced back to the Liu and Song Dynasties in the Southern Dynasties, and it originated from the ancient concept of abolishing ghosts. According to later records, the grinding day is the 16th day of the first month. For example, Volume 3 of Yuan Wen's Comments on Weng Fu in the Song Dynasty records: "Jia You's miscellaneous records say:' The 16th day of the first month is a big expense, and the administration of industrial and commercial taxation in the capital will also be closed for one day, so it is ordered. "However," manuscripts and extra pens "consume days, only ears. Therefore, Zhang Tang said, there is a poem that says,' It is not appropriate to pass it on today.' There is also a poem that says:' Last month, today was reduced, and people were wasting their time.' In this way, it is just a waste of grinding, grinding tea and grinding wheat. Why do you want to close the case? "The daily consumption of grinding in Song Dynasty is also called daily consumption and big consumption, so the business of tea grinding and wheat grinding is exempted, and the lawsuit is closed. On the 16th day of the first month of the Song Dynasty, the department in charge of property had a day off. The article "Grinding Day" in Volume 3 of Yang Shen's "Total Record of Dan and Lead" in the Ming Dynasty wrote: "The 16th day of the first month is called Grinding Day ... On this day, you must drink, and the lawsuit will not let you open the library." Amin Feng Yingjing also took the 16th day of the first month as the grinding day, and quoted "Ji Ye": "The 16th day of the first month is called grinding day, and officials and private employees do not open positions. It can be seen that loss is the most taboo on the day of consumption, especially in places closely related to money such as warehouses. It is said that drinking wine on this day is "not drunk", that is, the warehouses in the yamen are closed, so there is no need to worry about impairment. It seems that consumption is the reason for the loss of the warehouse. Because of the original meaning of consumption and the folk custom of consumption, natural consumption is also regarded as evil. Therefore, the consumption of grinding the sun on the 16th is also regarded as waste, which is the custom of eliminating waste in later generations. Meng Chunbu, the fifteenth volume of Annals of Ancient and Modern Books, said: "It is a waste to use the pestle all over the house in the middle of the night on the 16th. "

The relationship between space and consumption has been involved. Here are some examples. "Historical Records Tianguanshu" says that the flag star is "the building of six-star Sun City." The stars in the city are real; Its emptiness is consumption. "Tang Zhang Shou Jie Yi": "The stars in the city are old; If you are young, you will be old. " "Consumption, poverty is nothing. "The scarcity of stars means that consumption means the failure of agriculture." "The Official Book of Heaven" also said: "Therefore, the consumers are the people, the country and the city, depending on the governance of the frontier, the gate of the castle, and the essence of cars, clothes and livestock. Shili, Ji; Waste is fierce. "Waste words are connected into one word because of the same meaning, which means empty here." "Bao Puzi's Inner Chapter Micro-purport Volume" records: "The technique of husband's yin and yang (according to: referring to the technique in the house) can cure minor diseases, and it can be avoided every time. It has its own reasons, it can become immortal, but it can become a blessing. "Waste is also an independent word here, which refers to the loss and consumption of the body. The above examples show that waste words existed in the Han and Jin dynasties, meaning emptiness, loss and consumption. The meaning of this kind of waste is the basis of the name "waste" in Tang Yi's history of "looking at the sky and stealing words like a play" and "wasting people's happy events into troubles".

Emptiness and waste are also reflected in words. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Xu Shen said in "Shuo Wen Jie Zi": "It also wastes energy; From ghosts. " This "fast" waste ghost means that it belongs to the ghost from the side, and the empty sound means that it comes from the air. According to the principle of seeking righteousness by sound, ghosts should contain emptiness and make the meaning of emptiness and loss disappear. Kuai is a ghost, too. Mr. Zhang's "Questions and Answers for Primary Schools" said: "Ghosts in Gu Yan were not called death at first, but should be greedy. Shuowen said that the ghost head is a ghost head, and the jade head is the same as the ghost head. Jade is a female monkey, why is it like a ghost, and why can the ghost head be seen? Ghosts in the Ming Dynasty were animals that ate ghosts, not gods. It is said that Wei Xiao is a mountain, and later generations have become mountains. Xiao Ye is a beast, not a god ... So the ghost is the word Kui, which is extended to the name of the dead god. " Shen Jianshi further demonstrated: "Yan's" Ganquan Fu "is" crazy when you take it ". Zhang Heng's Ode to Tokyo, "Get rid of the disabled and ignore the elephant". Said Wen',' Kui, the deity, like a dragon, a foot, with fire, like a horn'. If you press it, it is awkward. " (Collected Works of Shen Jianshi, page l88, 192)

It is helpful to understand the story of Zhong Kui catching ghosts. In the Ming Dynasty, the article Zhong Zhong Kui Zhong Kui Kui in Yang Shen's Total Record of Dan and Lead was quoted from the History of the North: "Yao Xuan's real name was Zhong Kui, and his word was used to ward off evil spirits." It is believed that "the Gate of Zhong Kui was painted by later generations, which is called to ward off evil spirits, so it is attached". The article "Zhong Kui" in Volume 22 of Shao's Mountain House Pen Collection in Hu Yinglin in the Ming Dynasty says: "Jinshi recorded the place names of Jin and Song Dynasties, named after Zhong Kui, and later mistaken for Zhong Kui." Chen Xinjing's point of view is also quoted, pointing out that "Zhong Kui is the ultimate Wei Xiao", because "ancient prose is excellent", "Wei Xiao, Shan Gui" and "he is not good at treating evil spirits, so he is called the ultimate Wei Xiao". This statement is really insightful! According to our above analysis, the ultimate "evil governance is not good" is the governance of evil gods, that is, the governance of abolishing gods.
