[Onmyoji] Bo Qing

The Heian period in Japan was an era when people's wisdom was not yet developed.Several adults still believe in the existence of ghosts and ghosts.

In such an era, both people and ghosts live in the dark of the capital with bated breath, even under the same roof.Demons and ghosts are not hiding in remote mountains and old forests, where humans and demons dance together.

In such an era, there is such a profession called Onmyoji.

What is an Onmyoji like?

Simply put, it can be said to be a fortuneteller or an illusionist.They not only know how to observe the stars and recognize people's faces, but also measure directions, know disasters, draw symbols, chant spells, and perform illusions.People also know the reasons for invisible forces, such as fate, souls, and ghosts, and have the ability to control these things.

The organization formed by the gathering of Onmyoji is called Onmyodo.

Japanese Yin-Yang Dao originated from the theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements during the period when a hundred schools of thought were contending in China.In the age of ignorance and prehistoric science, in order to avoid disasters, people always hope to know the changes of heaven and earth in advance.The emergence of Yin-Yang and Five Elements theory turned this wish into reality.Its representative classic is the "Book of Changes" that has been handed down since the Zhou Dynasty.

In the sixth century A.D., the Chinese theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements mixed Taoist magic and esoteric divination, and was introduced to Japan.After landing in Japan, some local culture was infiltrated, thus forming a unique way of yin and yang.

The ten-mile avenue, withered grass, shrouded in black mist.The wind and hot dust rustled on the vermilion tower.

Incense curled up, cypress fans swayed gently, the nobles tried their best to practice elegance.But the red plum hanging clothes and the bright brocade can't hide the lamentation of the dense and dry bones.

Ghosts, demons, and resentful souls exist in the world and reside in everyone's heart.

The Heian Era, an era that once faced the prosperous Tang Empire across the sea.It has given birth to an incomparably gorgeous and splendid culture that is admired by later generations, but it also hides many unknown darkness.

In 794 A.D., when the capital of Kyoto in Japan was moved from Changwang to Ping'an, the Heian era, which lasted for more than [-] years, began slowly.

But peace in the capital is not a paradise.

Ghosts and shadows, resentful spirits intertwined - demons and ghosts no longer stay in remote forests or deep mountains, but live together with human beings in the capital city, even under the same roof.

Heianjing was encroached by monsters, becoming a lair of ghosts and ghosts, and also a stage where onmyojis were active.

In order to eliminate the contradictions between heaven, earth, and human beings, onmyojis showed their talents.They used all-inclusive divination and mysterious incantations to exorcise evil spirits and kill monsters, and became powerful protectors from the royal family to the common people.

Emperor Tenmu, who was almost fanatical about Yin-Yang Dao, understood the value of Yin-Yang Dao very well. In order to avoid being used by anti-government forces, he established the "Yin-Yang Liao" to make Yin-Yang Dao a part of the legal system, so that the common people could not become Yin-Yang Teacher, also let Onmyoji become the exclusive tool of the country forever.

However, the job of an onmyoji is not easy to hold.

To survive in the intriguing court, they must be familiar with all the elegant things.

Waka, Chinese poetry, pipa, flute, as well as incense or tea ceremony, all must be dabbled in.In addition, you must have the ability to see through people's hearts and the professional ethics of not leaking secrets.Therefore, those who can become Onmyoji are all the first-class talents at that time.Although the ranks of Onmyojis are not high, they are mostly relied on by powerful ministers and nobles, and their status is far above that of ordinary officials and warriors.

At that time, He Mao Zhongxing, who was the number one in Onmyoji, accepted a handsome young boy as his apprentice under the surprised eyes of the world.

And this handsome and consonant young man is Abe Seimei, the famous master of Yin Yang Dao in later generations.

The legendary story of Abe Seimei, who is said to be the son of the demon fox, is well-known in Japan.In terms of appearance, he looks like Pan An, and in terms of intelligence, he is both civil and military. He is a hero in the eyes of everyone and an idol in the hearts of countless girls.The "Pentagram" symbol (also known as Seimei Kikyo Seal), which is often used to subdue demons, was invented by Abe Seimei.

Appearing in the middle of the Heian Dynasty where ghosts were rampant, this man, whose birth was surrounded by mist, drew the most mysterious history for the eerily beautiful Heian-kyo.
