The religion uses the symbol of light as the object of worship. Fire is the son of Ahura Mazda, the highest and most powerful thing in God's creation. The purity, glory, vitality, sharpness, whiteness, productivity and other symbols of God's absolute and supreme goodness. Therefore, Fire is the eyes of people's justice, and praise of fire is the primary obligation of believers.
They did not build temples or create statues, but they had full-time priests, called Ma Ge, who was the administrator of the holy fire and sacrifice. They presided over the rituals, performed rituals, worshiped the holy fire, and made it last forever. In ancient Persia, the holy fire and the ranks of priests, nobles, knights and peasants represent different rights. Altars were set up in the sacred temples in Iran and India. Holy fires were also lit in the homes and workplaces of believers. The sacred fires were lit in the homes and workplaces of the believers. The sacred fires were lit and preserved. The most spectacular was the temple built with natural gas in Iran. There were four pipes connecting natural gas wells at the four corners of the temple. There were four torches burning day and night at the four corners of the temple. The daily ignition and preservation of the divine fires must go through complex rituals.
The ritual of rebirth, which stipulates that men and women should hold introductory rituals when they are seven years old (India) or ten years old (Iran). The priests will give holy shirts and holy belts as flags for believers. The holy shirts are sewn with white linen, and the front and back sides symbolize the past and future, which means memorializing ancestors and benefiting descendants. The holy belt represents the correct direction and is woven with seventy-two wool threads. The length can surround the waist three circles. The seventy-two branches symbolize the seventy-two chapters of "Avisdo Yesna". The three circles refer to good thoughts, good words and good deeds. The holy shirts and holy belts should be worn for life to show that they will not forget.
Purification rituals can usually be divided into three types:
Xiao Jing: When the believer gets up, urinates and drowns, he should wash the exposed parts of his body before and after meals and recite the scriptures;
Da Jing: During the rebirth ceremony, when getting married or giving birth, you must take a full body bath under the auspices of the priest;
Special Jing: It is mainly for those who are engaged in priesthood or carry dead bodies. Two priests must preside over the presidency. Under the gaze of a dog, bathe with water, sand, cow urine, etc., to cleanse the filth of the mind and body and drive away evil spirits. It usually lasts nine days.
The religion regards water, fire and earth as sacred, so it opposes water burial, cremation and earth burial and implements sky burial (or bird burial) This is the custom of ancient Persian funerals. After the believers die, the corpses must be sent into the Tower of Silence. The tower is generally built on a hill. There are stone slabs on the top of the tower. There are three layers inside and outside. The corpses of men, women and children are placed respectively. When burial is carried out, the clergy and the corpse carryrs move the corpse naked to the top of the tower, allowing the eagle to peck out the flesh, and then put the skeleton into the well hole. The religion believes that the Tower of Silence is a place where all evil gods play. Believers must not enter the Tower. Any contact must perform a ritual of cleansing. In fact, the Loneliness Tower was rarely used in 1978.
After that, all the remains of Zoroastrians were buried in the cemetery in front of the lonely tower
The Zoroastrianism was prevalent in Central Asia during the Sassanid Dynasty. In the middle of the century, Muslims ruled Persia and occupied Central Asia, a large number of believers migrated eastward. The Silla monk Hui Chao passed by Central Asia. In the "Biography of the Five Heavenly Kingdoms", it was recorded that from the Great Shi Kingdom, it was Hu Kingdom, namely Anguo, Cao Kingdom, Shi Kingdom, Shi Mu Kingdom, America, Kang Kingdom...
At that time, this religion was also popular in Gaochang, Yanqi, Kangguo, Shule, and Khotan in Xinjiang, China.
Records of the Fire Era Sect can be found in Chinese classics and historical records before the Tang Dynasty.
However, it is generally believed that Persia was connected to the Northern Wei Dynasty in 518, and the Hua Kingdom (now Kundus City, Amu Henan) adjacent to Persia entered Liang in 516. Both countries believed in the Fire Zoroastrianism. Therefore, the Fire Zoroastrianism was introduced to the Han area from 516 to 519 years. The god worshipped by the Fire Zoroastrianism was in the Northern Wei Dynasty and was called the Heavenly God, Fire Heavenly God, Fire God or the Heavenly God Fire God in the Southern Liang Dynasty. It was not until the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty that it was called the Fire Zoroastrianism, which means it was a foreign god.
After the religion was introduced to China, it was supported by the ruling classes such as the Northern Wei, Northern Qi, Northern Zhou, and Southern Liang. The Empress Dowager Ling of the Northern Wei led hundreds of court ministers and relatives to worship the God of Fire Heaven. The latter lord of Northern Qi personally encouraged himself to serve Hu Tian to serve Hu Tian.
Therefore, many temples worshipping the fire in Kyoto (Ye, now Linzhang County, Henan Province) appeared, and it became a trend for a while.
The emperor of Northern Zhou also personally worshiped Hu Tian and engaged in the customs of the barbarians.
Starting from the Northern Wei Dynasty, Northern Qi and Northern Zhou Dynasty successively set up officials of the Huozhe religion in the Honglu Temple. The Tang Dynasty established the Zozhe Temple in the east and west Kyotos, with two in Tokyo and four in Xijing.
In these temples, Shanghu prays for blessings, cooks pigs and sheep, pipa and drums, sings and dances, and is very prosperous for a while.
In addition, there are also temples everywhere in the states in Jixi on the Silk Road
The Tang Dynasty Temple also had a sacrificial official, Sabaofu, who managed the sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrific
The officials of the Sapbao Mansion are divided into Sapbao (also known as Sapfu Chinese historical records). Zorozheng, Zoropa, Rufu, and Shi, etc., ranging from the fourth to the seventh rank, and are held by Persians or believers of ethnic minorities in Xinjiang.
During the Tang Dynasty, China had vast territory and developed overseas trade. The reason why the Tang Dynasty took this measure was to respect the religious beliefs and living habits of foreign expatriates; on the other hand, it was to establish friendly relations with Persia and the Western Regions, with political and commercial purposes.
In the fifth year of Huichang, the Wuzong banned Buddhism and other foreign religions, while the Zoroastrianism was also rejected. Many temples of Nestorianism, Manichaeism and Zoroastrianism were demolished, and monks were ordered to return to secular life.
However, the ban was relaxed during the middle age. After the Five Dynasties, the Song Dynasty still remained, and the people still had the custom of worshiping the Fire God. There were also temples in Bianliang, Zhenjiang and other places.
After the Southern Song Dynasty, Chinese classics were rarely seen
From then on, it basically disappeared in mainland China
The Ming Cult, recorded in Jin Yong's martial arts novel "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", that is, the Manichaeism in history, originated from Zoroastrianism, but the doctrines combine a large number of other religious doctrines such as Christianity and Buddhism.
Zoroastrianism and Manichaeism are often called Zoroastrianism in China, and the meaning is relatively chaotic
The early spread of Zoroastrianism in Xinjiang is unknown
In 1978, a high-level beast-bearing copper plate was unearthed from an ancient tomb in Alagou, Urumqi.
According to research, this copper plate from the fifth century BC to the first century BC is the same as the Zoroastrian sacrifice holy fire found in Central Asia. This means that the Zoroastrian was introduced to Xinjiang no later than the fifth century BC to the first century BC. The route of entry was from Persia to Central Asia. Because the Zoroastrian worships heaven, earth, sun, moon, water, fire, wood, and earth, it is basically the same as the primitive natural worship prevailing in Xinjiang, so it is easy to be accepted by local residents. From the Wei, Jin and Tang and Song dynasties, Zoroastrians spread and developed rapidly in various parts of Xinjiang. In the unearthed documents of Turpan, there are many names of Zoroastrians and records of Zoroastrian activities.
The rapid development of Zoroastrianism in Turpan has attracted the attention and vigilance of local rulers. In order to strengthen the management of Zoroastrianism and curb the development of Zoroastrianism, not only has official positions dedicated to Zoroastrianism, but also have taken some specific measures to limit Zoroastrianism activities.
When the Zoroastrianism was constantly hit and gradually declined in the Central Plains, Xinjiang entered its heyday of its development, according to the Hami local chronicle of the Tang Dynasty, "Shazhou Yizhou Geography" (remain volume), there was a Zoro temple in Hami at that time. The leader of the temple, Zhe Pantuo, once went to Beijing to pay homage to the emperor, and performed the illusion of possession of gods and sharp blades piercing the belly. He was given the title of guerrilla general by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. The Arab traveler Misal in the 10th century also saw that there were fire believers in the capital of Baxi (now Cele County, Xinjiang). Since Zoroastrianism did not gain the status of an official religion, it was mainly popular in the countryside, penetrated and merged with the local primitive religions, and finally evolved into a part of folk religion. Therefore, it was no longer seen in literature records since the Song Dynasty.
From the eighth to the tenth century, some Persians who insisted on Zoroastrianism were unwilling to convert to Islam and moved to Gujarat on the west coast of India.
They first went to Gujarat, the western coast of India, where the king of the Indian king Jadirana, and put forward two conditions to accept them: one was to give up Persian; the other was that women had to wear Indian sarees. The believers agreed to these two requirements and settled down in the local area. They were called Pasi, which is the transliteration of the Persians.
In 1,640, the Pasi migrated to Mumbai. Now there are only 80,000 people. They are one of the fewest ethnic groups in India. They still believe in Zoroastrianism, mainly engaged in industry and commerce, speaking Gujarati. The word Pasi, the earliest we met in Indian history, means Persians, and is the descendant of the Persian Zoroastrians who moved to India.
Then why is Zoroastrianism founded in connection with the Sun and Moon tribe? What aspects do we mean by Ah, and are the people of the Sun and Moon tribe humans or something else?
Ye Tianchen asked two questions in a row, and it was indeed becoming more and more incredible. There was a Zoroastrianism and the Sun and Moon tribe in the cemetery of Xiye Ancient City. Could it be that this place also believed in both?
The beliefs of Zoroastrianism and the Sun and Moon tribe are very similar. According to the oral transmission of generations, it means that the Sun and Moon tribe helped Zoroastrian, the founder of Zoroastrianism, so the name Zoroastrianism is actually to commemorate the Sun and Moon tribe. I don’t know whether the Sun and Moon tribe is human or what. According to the current scientific statement, the Sun and Moon tribe is either an alien or a human of the previous generation of civilizations.
Princess Tracy said
Then, this sign appears here. Will it be said that this place used to believe in the Romans and the Sun and Moon tribes? Ye Tianchen asked
There is this possibility. Princess Tracy said, but it will only be known after the specifics are determined by authoritative archaeological experts. We are just making speculations based on the facts in front of us.
Yes, but I feel that things are getting more and more complicated
Ye Tianchen smiled with a self-deprecating smile, and suddenly there was a sound. Ye Tianchen and Emperor Tracy felt that the surroundings were actually shaking. Before they could react, Ye Tianchen felt that his feet were empty and subconsciously pulled Emperor Tracy, and then he seemed to fall down. The surroundings were dark, and then his eyes turned dark, as if he had fallen somewhere.
