［天篷元帥］

天篷元帥原本是道教中的位高權重的護法神，到中國明朝時期因為名著「西遊記」的誕生，所以民間都將天蓬元帥和西遊記中的豬形象聯想在一起。

在西遊記中天蓬元帥又名為豬八戒，豬八戒角色性格貪婪好色，因此他就成了八大行業所膜拜的對象，又被稱為豬哥爺。

豬哥爺的神像通常放在暗室，特種行業的女子穿的越裸露去拜，豬哥爺越開心，越開心就會越靈驗，供桌上除了擺一般的供品外還可以放色情雜誌，但是禁拜豬肉。

［Tiānpéng Yuánshuài］

Tiānpéng Yuánshuài was originally a powerful dharmapala in the Taoist religion. Because of the depiction in the well known novel “Journey to the West” published in the 16th century during the Ming dynasty, folks started making the connection of him with the pig image.

In “Journey to the West”, Tiānpéng Yuánshuài is also called Zhu Bajie, and has the propensity for lusting after pretty women. Because of that tendency, he then became the subject of worshipping for sex industry in the modern days. He is also called Zhū gē yé.

His deity statue is often kept in a dark room for worshipping. When women from sex industry dressed revealing to go worship him, he would be entertained and happy. The more these women reveal, the happier he gets, and the happier he gets, the more efficacious he become. When leaving offerings on his desk, it’s encouraged to not only leave normal offerings but also adult magazines. Also, be aware that no pork is allowed because of his namesakes.

[開光點眼]
開光點眼，簡稱開光，是道教中一個儀式。道教中認為神像在經過開光前只是雕塑物品而非神的存在，要請神進入雕塑品內需要經過開光儀式。

開光過程會依地區和道士而有所不同。一開始需要找一個德高望重的道士，然後選擇一個入座的日子；接著道士在儀式中會一邊唸咒一遍拿著寶鏡，將寶鏡照到的太陽光反射到神像上；再來將神像的軀體後背會開個洞，放入五至七種寶物後再將洞填起來。常見的寶物有金、銀、銅、鐵、錫、瑪瑙、玉石、珍珠、蜜蜂、蜈蚣、五色線等，也有地區會放入符咒或是用紅紙寫下神的起源。在最後道士使用毛筆，將白公雞的雞冠血和黑色鴨的舌頭血點上神像的五官和身軀，開啟耳、鼻、舌、身、意，統稱「六通」。

雞是陽氣和生命力的象徵，「鴨」因為發音同「壓」，所以是用來壓制煞氣，儀式用的雞鴨不能殺掉需要放生，演變至現代則多以硃砂取代。

[kāi guāng diǎn yǎn]
Kai Guang Dian Yan, the consecration ceremony is one of the many Taoist ceremonies. Taoists believe before the consecration ceremony, the statue or picture of the deity would just be the depiction without the essence of the spirit. To invite the spirit of the deity to reside in either the statue or the picture, the consecration ceremony is required.

The consecration ceremony varies depending on the location and the preforming Taoist. Generally speaking, the process of the consecration ceremony would need a virtuous and reputable Taoist to pick the specific date to present the ceremony. During the ceremony, the Taoist would recite special scripture while hold a sacred mirror. Then sun light would be reflected on the sculpture or image with the depiction of the deity. After process, if its a sculpture, the back it would have a hole opened up and inserted with five to seven different sacred objects such as: gold, silver, copper, iron, tin, agate, jade, pearl, bee, centipede and/ or five colored tread. In some instances, depending on the locale where the ceremony is being preformed, written spells or the origin of the said deity written on a piece of red paper would also be inserted into the sculpture. Lastly, the Taoist would then use a hair brush dipped in the blood from a white rooster’s crown mixed with blood from the tongue of a black duck, to annotate the five senses and the body of the sculpture. To “turn on” the ears, nose, eyes body and the thought of the deity now attached to the sculpture. This is called “Liu Tong”, to turn on all six senses.

White rooster signifies life and male vitality. While the pronunciation of duck in mandarin is similar to pressing down so it’s used to press down evil spirits.

The rooster and duck used in the ceremony can not be killed and would be released alive. Nowadays in modern society, when this ceremony is being preformed, cinnabar is used to substitute live animal blood.

［操五寶］

道教中的乩童分為「文乩」和「武乩」，兩者都是將身體借給神明，差別在於武乩會持法器，文乩不會。操五寶則是武乩的降駕行為。

五寶為神明的法器，分別為七星劍、鯊魚劍、釘棍、刺球、月斧。所謂的操五寶，就是乩童拿法器自殘自己的身體，以神的保護不懼疼痛來彰顯神威，並以血來鎮煞驅邪。通常乩童自殘的部位是頭部以及背部。

五寶又代表了神明五營兵將的五個方位，別為東、西、南、北、中營，操五寶又代表了指揮神明的軍營。

最常見操五寶的神明為三太子和或玄天上帝等武將類型的男性神明。

[The Five Sacred Instruments］

There are two types of shaman in Taoist practice: “Wen- Ji and Wu- Ji”. Both types lend their body to the gods as the vessel for the spirits to be presented in the physical world; the one main difference is Wu-Ji would use instruments once the body taken over by the gods but Wen- Ji just uses chanting.
Handling of the five sacred instruments is a Wu- Ji specialty once it’s been possessed by the gods.

The Five Sacred Instruments include a seven-star sword, a nail stick (brass rod and wolf tooth stick), a moon ax (moon eyebrow ax, double ax), a nail-studded ball and a Sawfish Sword.
The handling of the five sacred instruments is when the Wu- Ji shaman uses the instruments to self-mutilate him or herself to show that, by being possessed by the gods, the power of the gods would protect the shaman from injuries and pain. This is to signified the power of the gods, and to suppress evil spirits. Usually the shamans self-mutilation is done on either the back or the head.

The five sacred instruments also signifies the five military camps of the gods from five different directions: east, west, south, north, and center. Therefore the handling of five sacred instruments also means the command of the five military camps.

The gods whom are most commonly seen at the handling of the five sacred instruments are Nuochia and/ or Xuan Tian, both are male military general type gods.

住在台灣11年我從來沒聽過 醮 這個東西，也沒看過 米龍 今年雲林台西的五條港的安西府有舉辦道教最大的活動 做醮 或 建醮

因為這種活動他們這裡25年只有一次舉辦這種活動，我這次非常幸運可以看到台灣本地文化的另一種特色

跟我一去去看安西府的大活動～ 更了解什麼是大醮

Having lived in Taiwan for 11 years, I’ve never heard of Jiao or a Rice Dragon. This year at Anxi Temple in Wutiaogang in Taisi in Yunlin, they’re holding the largest celebration in the Taoist religion, a Jiao.

Since this kind of celebration only happens once every 25 years, I’m really lucky to get this chance to see another special part of Taiwanese culture.

Come with me to see this big festival at Anxi Temple and learn more about “Jiao”.
