Baosheng emperor opened the catalogue of the holy king and the three mountains king. The worship of the city god is a god who protects the city and helps the people. Shuo Wen Jie Zi says: "The city is a place to fill people"; "A city is also a city." "There is no water." The ancient meaning of the word city god is to protect the rivers of the city. Therefore, Ban Gu has a saying: "Building a palace is a deep city god". In the name of Chenghuang, literature began with the origin of name. The Book of Changes is above six: "The city is built on the moat, so there is no need for division (soldiers), (the city wall is built on the moat, so no soldiers can be used). 」
The biography of Murong Yan in the Northern Qi Dynasty says that Murong Yan is guarding the city. "The earliest shrine in the city, commonly known as the city god. Every public and individual is praying. " After the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the worship of the city god gradually became popular. According to the article "Xuanzhou" in Taiping Guangji, Wu is afraid of ghosts, and "there must be a city god in every state and county".
In the Zhou Dynasty, the titles of the past dynasties were already known as the city god, and the people loved the city god to defend the country, so it was listed as a sacrificial ceremony for sacrifice. There are eight wax festivals a week. The Book of Rites Special Sacrifice in the Suburbs says: "The son of heaven is the Laba, and the water is seven." Water is a shovel, and courage refers to the city.
In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, it was officially called the God of Town God [1]. In the Tang Dynasty, the God of the Town God was made a royal title. There were also imperial edicts in the Five Dynasties. For example, Hangzhou City God was named the king of Shunyi Baoning, Huzhou City God was named the king of Fupu 'an City, and Mengzhou City God was named the king of inspiration. In the Song Dynasty, the worship of the city god was included in the national sacrificial ceremony, and temples were set up in all states, prefectures and counties. Song and Zhao's "Bing Tuilu" talks about the worship of the city god. "Today, it has been worshipped several times in the world, and it has been given a temple name at home, or it has been knighted. Unknown people have been called neighboring counties, or have been spread from county to county. " After the Song Dynasty in the Yuan Dynasty, there were city god temples in the capital and most of them, and most of them were also named as "blessed kings", and temples were all over the place.
The worship of the city god reached its peak in the Ming Dynasty, because Ming Taizu once lived in the land temple of the city god when he was a child, that is, his worship of the land god after he acceded to the throne was greatly rewarded. In the second year of Hongwu, Ming Taizu (1369), the capital city god was named the Ming tomb king of Siming Shengfu, the founding capital of Chengtian. Kaifeng, Lin Hao, Taiping, Hezhou and Chuzhou are the first products, and the rest of the city gods are the second products; It is the third product to seal the city god as a spirit to bless Hou; County God was named "Xianyou Bo", with four products.
Ming Taizu explained his intention to worship the faith of the city god: "I set up the city god to let people know and be afraid. If people are afraid, they dare not do anything." The worship of the city god in Qing dynasty followed the Ming system. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, county officials had to worship the city god first.
At the same time, Ming Taizu determined that the Chenghuang Temple was set up according to the official residence, high and wide, and equipped with corresponding imperial robes. Later, the temple was reorganized [2], and its temple architecture was like a yamen. At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, there were hell, jailers, prisoners, instruments of torture, Yan Shidian, judges and black and white impermanence, so we advised the good and punished the evil [3].
The duty of the city god to protect the country and the country is mainly to protect the people of this city. It has the responsibility to protect people's safety and health in the dark, and it also has the responsibility to supervise and correct the merits and demerits of Shi Yang officials. Acting director of heaven, eliminating evil, protecting the country and defending the country, making peace, judging life and death, and giving people a long life. Ming Taizu's words are quoted in "A General Examination of Continued Literature": "I set up a capital city god, unify the gods of all counties, and observe the good and evil of the people, so that the quiet and bright move is inevitable."
According to the biography of Murong Yan in the Northern Qi Dynasty, the Liang army of the Southern Dynasty built a flood in the water and cut off the waterway of Murong Yan guarding the city. After Mr. Murong asked for the city god, the storm surged, washed away the flood and rescued the soldiers and civilians guarding the city.
The main reason is that Tang Hongzhou often suffers from sudden illness, dreaming of a ghost messenger, claiming to be Ding Ying, holding an imperial edict in his hand, and Yun was chased by the city god. Wang Jian went to see the city god with the messenger. God ordered the book to be checked. After that, I simply said, "I still have five years to live, so let nature take its course." It can be seen that in the Tang Dynasty, the God of the Town God was also in charge of the nether world. At present, in addition to offering sacrifices to the Lord God, there are also many statues of judges and soapstock in the Town God Temple, which are the auxiliary of the main department of the Town God. In Taoist ceremonies, when summoning the dead, it is often necessary to send an "urgent dispatch" to the city god, with the purpose of informing the city god to escort the dead to the altar to eat the gestalt and wait for them to cross over, which is the embodiment of the city god's management of ghost books.
The god who is close to the people is the god who is close to the people. Whenever there is a dispute among the people, they go to worship God, solemnly swear before the idol, and behead a chicken (this method was occasionally used in the early courts of Hong Kong) to prove their justice and provide reference for the legal profession.
