They have no particularly far-reaching considerations or mature thinking logic. If you are good to it, it will be good to you. Therefore, there are many people offering such things in Southeast Asia. It is like tying dolls in the Empress Temple.
It has a lot to do with regional culture.
But I always feel that no matter how kind-hearted Gumantong is, he is still a ghost. Keeping a little ghost at home will inevitably lead to all kinds of awkwardness...
Of course, we have to admit that these little things will indeed help their owners in some things, and from the perspective of reincarnation, adopting these homeless children is a merit in itself.
Thinking of this, I looked at the statue of Gumantong, and when I saw the little doll's kind face, I told Xiner some basic knowledge about Gumantong.
As far as I know, the founder of GumanThong is a man named "Khun Paen".
This man is a Thai military commander. He is very smart. It is said that he has been learning from eminent monks since he was very young. By the time he reaches adulthood, he is already very famous. It is said that he is not only brave and good at fighting, but also has supernatural powers. What is even more rare is that this man
Not only is he powerful, but he is also a handsome and unrestrained girl killer. From the princess to the common people, he is fascinated by all of them.
Because of this, even after his death, some people still used his image to make Buddhist amulets to bless themselves with a good relationship with women. Those who have the conditions can pay attention to it. In Southeast Asia, General Khun Paen often
Being given the title "Khun Paen Buddha" is similar to Guanyin Bodhisattva, and is very common among male classmates.
In fact, General Khun Paen's magic skills were far greater than his ability to pick up girls and fight. Because of this, this legendary general is also known as the "Magician General".
It is said that during a war, he occupied a city. In order to please him, the leader of the city gave his daughter to Khun Paen as a gift. General Khun Paen saw that the woman was very beautiful, so he agreed.
In this way, the famous Khun Paen got married and lived in this city until his wife became pregnant with Liujia.
But something unexpected happened. As time went by, the relationship between General Khun Paen and the leader of the city continued to deteriorate, and even gradually came to the edge of confrontation. Finally, the leader asked his daughter to poison Khun Paen's rice.
Put Khun Paen to death.
For some reason, this matter was exposed. After Khun Paen learned of the plan, he stabbed his wife to death first as a form of revenge. After his wife died, Khun Paen cut open his wife's stomach and cut it open.
The afterbirth took out his son and took him to a very secret temple.
He closed the door and opened a barrier around him to make sure that no one could see what he was doing. This method was very mysterious and no one could explain it clearly. However, judging from the current rumors, the general process
First, a fire is lit, then the baby's upper body is wrapped in red cloth with scriptures written on it, and the baby's body is roasted on the fire like a roast duck until the baby's body becomes smaller and smaller and completely dried.
Then it stopped.
During the whole process, Khun Paen kept reciting scriptures. When the whole ceremony was over, the dried baby had turned into a lively soul that could talk and communicate with him.
Khun Paen loved it so much that he put its remains in a bottle and took it with him, and named his child who died in infancy "Gumanthong". There are also differences in Thailand about the origin of Gumanthong.
Some people think that Gumantong was deliberately made by General Khun Paen. Some people also say that
The creation of Gumanthong originated from General Khun Paen's unintentional act of missing his son. There are even differences in opinions on the prototype of Gumanthong. Some people believe that the earliest Gumantong was the mummy of that child.
Some people also believe that the first GumanThong was actually in a bottle
Bones, of course. In addition to these two arguments, there are also theories that Gumanthong is a fetus soaked in Buddhist oil. No matter how you say it, the result is the same. What people see is that the war after this
In every critical moment, "Gumantong" will come out to help Khun Paen and sue
Tell him how to resolve dangers and how to win. Even in the face of many natural disasters, this child can show some incredible abilities. In that era when only weapons can be used to fight with hands, Khun Paen is naturally able to use soul magic to fight.
He is victorious in every battle and invincible.
It is for this reason that he is revered as the "God of War" by people for being victorious in every battle. His stories, his legends, and even some anecdotes made up out of thin air are all followed by the rumors of this "Gumantong" who is always around.
spread.
This little guy who could seek good luck and avoid evil made everyone feel envious, so many people imitated his behavior to refine little ghosts and keep them as offerings at home, focusing on making these refined children bring peace and wealth to themselves. However,
, on the issue of refining methods, different schools adopt different methods, and even the main body of the refining of Nagumantong has quietly changed.
From the current point of view, GumanThong can be roughly divided into two categories according to the different refiners. One is refined by monks in temples. This type of GuManTong is usually called "Lang Phor GuManTong".
Let me say here that many people who have watched Hong Kong ghost movies mistakenly believe that only old ladies who can sense ghosts and ghosts are called "Dragon Pos". In fact, this view is wrong. In many countries in Southeast Asia, some people with spiritual skills
All the monks will be called Long Po, which is an honorific title, the same as the titles of masters, masters, and Zen masters in the mainland.
The other kind of Gumantong is called "Ajahn Gumantong". This kind of Gumantong is made by some tributaries of alchemists who have the same magical powers. These people may be mages or descendants.
They lack restraints and have no rules. Most of the time, they are typical sinister existences that go to any lengths to achieve a certain goal. Ordinary people are afraid of them when they mention them.
Because of the huge difference between the two, there are certain differences between the two kinds of Gumantong they refined. Generally speaking, the Gumantong refined in temples are relatively gentle. These children are willing to accept offerings and have received Buddhist teachings.
Persuasion basically adheres to the principle of being kind to others, and there is no harm in it even if you run out to be mischievous.
As for those Ajahn Guman children, that is not necessarily the case. Due to various conditions, not all undead souls are willing to become Guman children. The monks in the temple select those who are willing to accept donations, but in addition
Some people may not follow such guidelines. Among the group of descendants, there are many people who forcibly refine Gumantong. In a certain sense, this is a kind of slavery, which is very close to the nature of refining imps in the mainland.
