Word measurement, also known as word splitting, also known as measuring machine, is called phase word when occupying, that is, let people take any word, split the word and combine it, in order to judge the cause and effect of personnel, future, and auspicious a kind of divination activity. The line of word measurement was created in the Zhou Dynasty and prevailed in the Tang and Song dynasties. For example, Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng are famous for their fulfillment of the word "Xiang", and they are known to Tang Taizong. Xie Shi, Shao Kangjie, etc., because of the extreme spirit of the measurement machine, was valued and promoted by the Song Emperor, and in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the word measurement was taken by the hexagram and the drawing of posts, and it was thought that it was"Blinding the soul, suffocating the machine change",It declined.
Although word measurement is a small skill of carving insects, there are a number of factions in the meantime. All those who go through the teahouse and sprinkle shop to do business are called "Bayang Di Measure Words";Those who temporarily borrow a place in the temple temple view are called "pulling out the yin and measuring the words";Those who judge by the Tao of the I Ching are called "gossip and word splitting".
The above belongs to the modern word measurement, from its influence"Inkstone", "Walking".Two factions are the most numerous；"Guanmei", "Bayang Land".Two factions are secondary, among them"Pulling out the sun".One faction is the minority. The essence of these schools is the same, but the main difference is in the skill of measuring words, the intelligence of the people, and the elegance of the language.
Those who belong to the word measurement and look at the physiognomy mostly belong to the wandering people, and they live impermanently. He carried a cloth bag with him, which was full of wealth-generating things, namely pen and ink inkstones, water bowls, character scrolls, wooden tablets, etc. In order to attract customers, every place should be "set up inkstone", whether it is pulling out the sun, pulling out the yin, or stepping on the green or watching the plum, everywhere you go must be slightly arranged, so that passers-by can stop**.
This is an indispensable procedure for character testers, and as for the complexity of the arrangement, it depends on whether there is or not, and it also varies according to the faction.
1. Layout of the site of Bayangdi
The layout of Bayang is the most complicated. First of all, in the lively urban area or in places where there are many pedestrians, rent a small shop room along the market, or rent half a shop, with a table, a chair and two benches.
On the table are pens, inkstones, water bowls, ink, wooden tablets, and scrolls (about 200 pieces), as well as price lists with wooden frames and covered glasses, indicating how many common things there are, how many years have passed, how much money they have, seeking wealth, seeking affairs, lawsuits, marriages, graves, homes, sericulture, Liujia, seeking officials, purchasing goods, taking out goods, building, searching for people, and so on.
The door of the room is open all day, and the name of the person in front of the door is posted (generally do not use the real name, and use the alias,Such as "Sai Banxian", "Feiyun Mountain People", "Huangshan People".and so on). The house is gorgeously decorated and beautifully furnished. Hang the painting axis couplet on all sides, set up a table, set up the God of Wealth or other gods on the several, like the front of the incense case left and right to place the vase insertion, the two walls post celebrity calligraphy and painting, and set up chairs, coffee tables, spittoons and other things.
Due to the complexity of this kind of site layout and the large cost, it is generally well arranged and easily not moved, at least "sitting on the ground" for three and a half years.
2. Layout of the ground
Rent a place in the temple and temple, set up a table, a chair and two benches, and the word tester only brings a bag. The bag contains pens, ink, inkstones, bowls, scrolls, wooden tablets, old books and newspapers (for wiping, letterheads, envelopes, to write credit on behalf of others). The charge for word measurement in the yin is cheaper than that for the person who pulls out the yang.
3. The layout of the inkstone pond word measurement
After looking at the sidewalks along the streets in the city, untie the baggage, make the first half of the tablecloth, the second half of the carpet, sit down cross-legged, and put the wooden slip board beside youBroken pens, broken inkstones, ink bottles, etc. are placed in front of the simple board, and the paper rolls are stacked in the front, divided into two piles on the left and right, and lights must be set up at night.
This kind of word measurement on the ground is probably not high in technical machine and lack of intelligence, and only a few sets of Jianghu formulas are practiced, which attracts some rural women to stop and watch。If someone breaks money and asks questions, the method of attraction or verbal use of "throwing wind", or splashing ink with his fingers to draw flowers and birds on the board, all by the teacher's teaching. This kind of word measurement is customized, making the least money, commonly known as "booth pai gow".
4. The layout of the word measurement
All the tools for making money are placed in a wooden box, with small inkstones, broken ink, broken pens, small bottles, scrolls, messy paper, etc.;But the face reads **, and there is a rectangular iron sheet. Holding a wooden box in one hand, the character tester wandered through the teahouse tavern and kept "throwing the wind".
When you meet a hot or old customer, you will stand there and talk to each other, all by the attraction of the tip of your tongue, to attract business. When encountering a speculative business, they use words such as the changes in the current situation, the disaster has been completed, the highest price reduction, and the price of goods will rise to stimulate their speculative nature, urge them to pick up the scroll, and ask whether there is any hope for wealth.
In short, see who says what, in order to cater to the psychology of others. Only with this kind of talent and skill can you do the business of stepping into the green word test.
5. The layout of the plum measurement word
Looking at the plum and measuring the word, except for carrying a wooden box, there is nothing else. Or walking on the streets, shouting in their mouths to watch the plum and measure the words;Or sit on the streets and alleys, shake the wooden box from time to time, passers-by hear the sound, they are bound to raise their eyes, and they have doubts in their hearts, and they must try to come forward.
Most of these customers are illiterate, and because they don't know the meaning of the word, they say that the word tester is heavenly.
6. The arrangement of gossip word measurement
In addition to the four treasures of the study and the water bowl, there is a small incense burner. When someone comes to ask about something, first light three incense sticks to Qingwen King. The six books measure the same characters as the Northern School.
In addition to the above-mentioned lists, there is also a person who moves a bench and sits at the entrance of the street to solve people's problems.
Yin and Yang Bagua originated from the ancients' celestial induction, our ancestors believed that the "Qian" and "Kun" in the Bagua represent the heavens and the earth respectively, but the Yang Yao that makes up the Qiangua - "and the Yin Yao that makes up the Kun" - represents the male root and the female Yin respectively.
If Mr. Word Measurement sits there without saying a word, passers-by must not know what he is doing, and if you want to call pedestrians to stop and watch, you must use "throwing the wind".
The so-called "throwing the wind" is the "selling" of the rivers and lakes. Anyone who learns to test words must practice "throwing the wind" proficiently. The common word "throwing wind" on the rivers and lakes is as follows:
Brothers have studied and measured words for many years, from north to south, all over the world, relying on this bald pen, half of the broken inkstone, waste my spring and autumn, and give me food and clothing. Persist in this word measurement industry, analyze difficulties for people, military, agriculture, industry and commerce, ask about the future, and the gentleman asks about disasters and does not ask about blessings, and it is not strange to be outspoken.
72 small things can be asked, and 36 big things can be asked. Lost and found, make a decision immediately;Seeking official profits, absolutely no difference, the spirit can be tested on the spot, and whether it is allowed or not must be known later. Brothers are Geng Jie, they only know how to talk straight according to the word, there are fierce and fierce, there are auspicious and auspicious, they don't lie in their lives, they are honest and not flattering, they don't care if they talk a few more words in their spare time, and they don't blame them when they are busy.
Your land is a state of civil and military affairs, and the brothers come to admire it, and take advantage of this last skill to show ugliness, and have to tie a name with you, and the brothers will benefit immensely. You are all sincerely taking care of it, please take a handscroll to try, Fang Xinyu is true. ”
This "throwing the wind" should be coherent, the words should be clear, the strength of the mouth should be moderate but not tough, and the most taboo is to open your mouth and splash the saliva. When speaking, you must keep your head down and keep this in mind.
Although there are differences in word measurement, passers-by also have upper, middle, and lower three, and the "throwing wind" mouth should also be applied according to the person. To attract people who don't know how to write and ink, use a concise vernacularAttract literati and ink writers, and use it.
Fourth, six rhymes, slightly literary. In this way, it will be easy to attract customers, and business will not be difficult to do.
Where there are hundreds of industries, there is no general trick to get started, and word measurement is no exception. The word measurement method is improvised, with a myriad of tricks, all relying on the skill of its mouth, and being able to speak and discern can do it, and it is by no means caused by the fate of the seeker. As for the general know-how, since ancient times, there has been no difference between teachers and teachers.
Don't stick to one style, stick to the teacher's tradition, the most important thing is to adapt to the situation, and feel wonderful.
If two people refer to the same word at the same time, the reason for the question is different, and the judgment should be different. If it is a lost item, you must ask the name of the object and the size of the shapeIf you are looking for a missing person, you must ask for your gender, age and details of the missingIf you ask about a patient, you must ask about the symptoms and the patient's gender and age. In short, no matter how big or small the matter is, it is necessary to ask detailed questions in order to make accurate measurements.
All the words must be found by others and written on the wooden tablet board, and then calmly look at the font, tacitly verify the facts asked, and only then can the judgment be made. All glyphs must have the secret combination of "five elements" and "six gods", and all the principles of gain and loss must be induced by yin and yang.
Therefore, the word tester first observes the decline and prosperity of the five elements, and then observes the good and evil of the six gods. The "five elements" are the images of "vertical wood, horizontal soil, hook gold, point water, and bend fire". The "six gods" are the shapes of "green dragon, white tiger, vermilion bird, Xuanwu, snake, and Gou Chen".
The "Five Elements" and the "Six Gods" are the key to word measurement, and there are detailed and specific regulations, and the word tester must memorize rote memorization;In addition, there are various methods of splitting words, according to the original words picked up by the other party, when the reduction is reduced, when the addition is added, the reduction is to be reduced, and the reason is to be added, and the name is added. In the end, there is a set of theories for the judgment, such as the judgment of plants and trees, the judgment of birds and animals, the judgment of fonts, and the judgment of all things. According to the questioner's matter, whatever judgment is appropriate is used, or several kinds of arguments can be used in combination.
Splitting the word is the main technical means of measuring the word, divided into adding the pen to dismantle the word, reducing the pen to dismantle the word, picking the word splitting, loading the head to dismantle the word, the foot to dismantle the word, the heart of the word split, the word of the off, the finger thing to break the word, the pretend to borrow the word trick, the transfer of the note to split the word, the meaning of the word split, the pictogram of the word, the homophonic word split, the view of the plum word, the nine officials and so on more than 10 kinds.
In addition, there are five elements**, six gods**, a single name to take the song, refining the sentence to take the song, the word bone scattered song, the penmanship to identify the song, the first side of the side of the song, the five elements of the penmanship decline, the five elements of the earthly branch, the five elements of the life of the rule, the distribution of the five elements, the hour of the song, the earth branch of the punishment of the song, etc.
The above-mentioned projects, except for the superstitious part, almost all of a Chinese dictionary is compiled into a word-measuring dictionary according to the method of dismantling words, and it must be implemented in every word. It is not easy to use the word splitting method to add the five elements, the six gods, the heavenly stem, the earthly branch, etc., to connect each word with the fate of the inquirer and the reason for the question, and to say a reason.
The specific word measurement and word splitting method is not a sentence or two or two word examples, which can be said to be complete. Here are just a few examples.
If you add a pen to dismantle the word, the original word "li" can be added to the words "reason", "reason", "wild" and so on;Reduce the pen and dismantle the words, and change the original "wide" word to "amaranth", "see" and other words;The original word "female" is pretended to be "posture", "delusion", "concubine" and other words;Break the word "Tian" into the word "li", "male" and so onPierce the heart and dismantle the words, and wear "曰" into the words "Shen", "by", "A", "Li" and so on.
There are also a few examples of how to assert a sentence.
For example, for the word "heaven", it can be said that it is composed of "two" and "people", and the two of them walk together, and there will be no loss
For example, the word "star" can be said to be: composed of "day" and "life", it is the image of the day, seeking officials to be promoted, asking for illness can be cured, and everything is accounted for, and there is no disadvantage;
If it is the word "thunder", it can be said that it is composed of "rain" and "field", the rain falls in the field, the omen of prosperity, the thunder rings and shakes the sky, the world hears it, accounts for farming, asks for merit, and has great benefits;
If it is the word "rain", it can be said: there is no day in the rain, the omen of yin and yang decline, the villain's use of things, and it is not good to do business and seek officials, so it is advisable to be cautious.
If the word "west" can be combined with the five elements and six gods, it can be said: the western Gengxin (genus) gold is the prescription of the white tiger, and it is not good for pedestrians to ask for illness;Business, marriage, all of them are murderous, and so on.
The ancient art of word measurement is a livelihood skill mastered by alchemists. Although there is an absurd side to the word measurement, it is also a cultural phenomenon unique to Chinese civilizationIt cannot simply be dismissed as feudal dross and completely dismissed.
Word measurement was originally a word game between intellectuals in the past, and after it became a first-class means, those intellectuals soon accepted this form and spread it widely in the circle, but they did not take it as a full-time job, which virtually improved the social status of word measurement, making it soon popular among the people.
But then again, although the word fortune telling, predicting the future is pure nonsense, a set of deceptive tricks, but it is not easy to integrate it, without a certain level of education, no smart intelligence, no flexible brain, no hard work, no set of rich practical experience, it is difficult to master this set of business doors.
