At the same time, Eight Diagrams (Tian Li) also developed rapidly in Shandong. According to the book Ni Jing Ji, among the leaders of the Eight Diagrams at that time, there was a dry hanging ceremony in Shandong, and Bai Yue (both of them were Taoist priests) was the leader of the following hexagrams, and later changed to Xizhen hexagrams, which was the leader of the single county true hexagrams. The first scene of the Oracle school (a man who became a martial artist once said to be the head of the Oracle school in Chengwu area) (see the fifth volume of this book). According to Lin Qing's confession: "The gossip is different, and the shock is the most." Among them, Xu Anguo's power has developed the fastest. Xu Anguo, a native of Qizhai Village, Zhili Changyuan. Beginners are really melons. In the 14th year of Jiaqing (1809), "I took Liu in Huaxian County as my teacher and changed my career to divination, thinking that divination was the master and Anguo was the uncle". Began to preach and collect disciples in Zhili Changyuan and Dongming. In the seventeenth year of Jiaqing, Bai Wenli became a teacher, and he still studied under the real melon gum and became an important apprentice of Li Wencheng. Entrusted by Li Wencheng, he infiltrated Zhenguan into Cao County, Jinxiang, Dingtao and other places. Before Xu Anguo came to Shandong, the gossip in Shandong had already had considerable influence. Take Jinxiang as an example. In addition to Gao in the northwest of Jinxiang serving as the leader of Kun Gua, he preached and received disciples, and the local religion of deviating from Gua was especially "taught in the world", which was passed down from generation to generation. During the Qianlong period, Gao Daoyuan, the fifth Sun of Gao Yun, was the first person to teach divination. Later, Gao Jiyuan took his cousin Gao Daoyuan as the leader and took Liu Longshi, Jin Qinghe, Cong and others as disciples. Liu Longshi also studied under Wang Puren, Zhang Heng and Wang Weitu of Jinxiang. Wang Puren is the head of divination teaching in Jinxiang. At that time, Jing Wong recovered, and passed it on to, Zhao Qingyuan, Zhang and others. Yan Liu, Cui Shijun and others have also become famous divination religious leaders in Jinxiang. Cui Shijun and others actively spread religions deviating from divination. "Its teaching, first of all, makes people kowtow with incense, subject to the vacuum eight-character formula" (vacuum eight-character formula, also known as vacuum eight-character sutra, the eight-character mantra is "vacuum hometown, no parents"). At the beginning of teaching, each person paid 200 yuan, which is called the basic line. Tomb-Sweeping Day and Mid-Autumn Festival are both dedicated with strength, which is called "following accounts". "when people meet the same religion, two fingers are the sword tactic." Thanks to the efforts of Zhang and others, the divination religion in Jinxiang has developed rapidly. In August of the seventeenth year of Jiaqing, neighbor Gao Yuzao led Xu Anguo home, saying that Xu Anguo had learned to shake hexagrams, which was the first of the seven hexagrams, "better than deviating from hexagrams" and advised him to "change from hexagrams to earthquakes". Zhang and others "took Xu Anguo as their teacher" and changed to Zhen divination. Xu Anguo said to them: "(Eight Diagrams) All the hexagrams have been broken, and now there are none. Today, the leader of the Liu family (according to the fact that the leader of the Liu family actually refers to Lin Qing, and Lin Qing calls himself (that is, Liu Zuochen) as his predecessor, in order to improve his position in the religion, so as to connect with the Liu family) was born in Kanfang, and he was a three-talented person. ("Recording the Deputy Plays Shu", played with Xing Tong on September 11th, 18th year of Jiaqing) preached the truth that all divinatory symbols should cooperate with each other. Zhu, the founder of Eight Diagrams in Cao County, is one of them. As early as the 16th year of Jiaqing (18 1 1), he "worshipped Xu Anguo as a teacher, learned to teach the eight diagrams, belonged to his subordinates, but did not learn from Kundi, and succeeded in learning, and was written and became a real person" (Volume 5 of Jing Inverse Ji). Under the guidance of Xu Anguo and the efforts of Zhu Brothers, the power of earthquake divination in Cao County has developed rapidly, and Hujiaji area has become an important gossip base. With the active encouragement of Xu Anguo, Zhu and others, more than 700 believers and 65,438+065,438+03 believers in Dingtao, Shanxian, Chengwu, Jinxiang and other counties converted to the true divination religion, thus expanding the power of the true divination religion.
While Li Guajiao continued to spread in southwest Shandong, Feng Keshan also spread Li Guajiao to northwest Shandong. In April of the seventeenth year of Jiaqing, Feng Keshan was invited to come to Dezhou, and Song Yuekui and his son, a local boxer, joined the school of divination with Feng as their teacher. Feng Keshan not only taught teachings, but also taught fists and sticks, actively expanding the power of divination in Shandong. After Feng Keshan left Shandong, Song Yuekui and his son continued to preach and accept disciples, becoming local religious leaders, and Dezhou became a base for leaving divination.
, Feng Keshan, Xu Anguo, Zhu, Song Yuekui and others, in order to attract more people to join the eight diagrams, also put forward the solution to the land problem. Disciples, "Every hundred yuan, one hectare of land, a few stones of grain, promise official positions, fill in record books, issue contract pieces of paper, and give them to me as evidence" (although the record of this practice in Jing Inverse Record is very general, it does reflect the farmers' strong desire to solve the land problem urgently. Therefore, it won the support of the people and received the remarkable effect of "conformity".
