An Long thanked the landIn the rural customs, if the rooster did not announce dawn on time at night or the hen crowed like a rooster, outsiders gave birth to children at home, cattle entered the central house, or started work in front of or behind the house or on the left and right sides of the house to violate the five yellow and three evil spirits, the host family would think that it was a violation of the stars above, the earth below was shocked, and the dragon god of the residence was polluted. At this time, it was necessary to ask the master to carry out the Anlong Xie land to solve the pollution and remove the filth. Enlong the earth, let the dragon god of the host family be quiet, people healthy and things prosperous, and the six animals prosperous. This ritual was divided into big Xie and small Xie. Big Xie was the Coiling Dragon Land, and small Xie was the Eight Trigrams Land. Big Xie had to use a big gong and drum, 133 bowls of rice, and arrange a river map, the Book of Luo, the Eight Trigrams, and a five-sided coiling dragon in the central room. Moreover, the ritual had to be carried out at night, while Little Xie's was relatively simple.
Xiao Xie's basic procedure was as follows:
1. ** Choose auspicious days and issue a list of boxes **: In addition to the separation of the gods, the separation of the earth, and the breaking of the sun, you must pay special attention to the day when the Earth Mansion enters the Central Palace, that is, whether the Dragon God is at home or not. If the Earth Mansion is not in the Central Palace, it will be a waste of effort. There were eight days from Gengwu to Dingchou, eight days from Gengzi to Dingwei, ten days from Jiayin to Guihai, and ten days from Jiashen to Guisi. After the day was chosen, a red paper was used to draw up a box list (listing the things to be done). Three animals were used for sacrifice. Four-legged head animals were necessary. A complete set of earth branches, peach bows, willow arrows, gold and silver jewelry, abacus scales, green cloth, lime, cigarettes, paper candles, and other items were also needed.
2. Set up an altar and chant scriptures to welcome the dragon: Master Gong first used lime to draw the Eight Diagrams in front of the altar under the incense master, according to the east earthquake, west dui, south separation, north ridge, upper kun and lower qian, left gen and right xun, and drew the Tai Chi diagram in the middle. In the picture, a low stool was placed, and a ball of dustpan was laid on it. On the ball of dustpan, there were three animals sacrifice, candy, tea and wine, five bowls of rice in five directions, five eggs on the five bowls of rice, five dragon tablets in the east, south, west, north and middle directions, and five magic lamps or candles. A square table and a rice bucket were placed at the bottom of the hall. On top of them was a memorial tablet of the founder of the earth temple. Light lamps were placed to support him. Everything was ready. The master first invited the gods to draw water, communicate with the village, recite the book, then open the book, sing praises, recite the Dragon God's Spirit, and in the order of east, south, west, north, middle, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, he invited the dragon gods from all directions, the Great Emperor Zhen of the Earth Mansion, the Lady Ziying of the Earth Mansion, and the twenty-four God Monarchs, etc. Finally, he invited all the God Monarchs such as the God of the Nine Heavens, the God of the Kitchen, and the related God of the Kitchen to go down to the lamp and accept the true peace and thanks.
3. ** Welcome the return of the five dragons and the return of the eight generals **: After worshipping the scriptures, kill the rooster and pour blood, go around the house to remove the filth, stick the dragon god tablet in the four corners of the hall, and then play the drum to accompany the singing of Anlong.
