Regardless of the origin of the " Saucer Divine ", at present, this strange "psychic technique" has been spread away from all over the world, especially in the night, in the homes of many corners of the world, except for bridge poker, mahjong and monopoly, I believe there are also many people who are pressing their fingers on a small dish with excitement, curiosity and some degree of panic. They are anxiously calling for the " Saucer Divine " to drive the dishes and wander on the dials of various words. For people to answer doubts or preconceived luck.

In foreign countries, especially in the countries of Pinyin, similar to the Saucer Divine called " Ouija Board ", in English, there is a simple printed board with 26 letters and 10 Arabic numerals, then There is a slippery glass goblet with a clear arrow, or more elaborate is a cart with a "universal wheel" with a pointed arrow in front.

In China, because there are too many Chinese characters, it is more complicated. Usually, a Chinese word in a square white paper or white cloth is printed with "concentric circles". It is about one thousand Chinese characters commonly used, and then attached with a cheap  small "soy sauce dish" has an arrow on the bottom, and some draw a simple but sinister smile in the middle.

This tool is the so-called "saucer divine" used to communicate with ghosts and gods. The most basic one is the  coin divine that has been popular among primary and secondary school students. Just use a blank sheet of A4 and write "Yes, No, Good, Bad, Southeast and Northwest and 10 Numbers". The tool is a ten dollar NT coins.

In the 50 years of the Republic of China, "Saucer Divine" suddenly became popular among men, women and children in urban and rural areas. The degree of indulgence was even worse than today's illegal Lottery. Some people say that it is an old monk who is powerful but evil. He called for some fox souls to imprison them on the saucer and promote them. The purpose is to seduce the ignorant people. To play, and then by those lonely souls who are subject to him secretly absorb the essence, qi, and spirit from the human, for the old monk to practice a strange and vicious special magic.

Another way of saying this is that it is attached to the legend of the Inari Shrine in Japan, because the "Inari Shrine", which is a household name in Japan, is dedicated to what we call "Fox Immortal" in China (the "Big Immortal"). "Hu Xian" is called "Fox Immortal". In some families of Japan, there is also a custom of offering "Fox Immortals", usually the above-mentioned good phoenix tree, building a toy-like hut, daily Dedicated some tea and flowers to worship. In addition, there is a paralysis made of glutinous rice in Japan, also known as "Inari", which is said to be the favorite of "Foxen". It is said that some families find some white fox furs when they clean the small houses where these "Fox Immortals" live each morning. It is strange!

At that time, in Taiwan, students from the primary school, middle school students, and people from all classes played the "Saucer Divine". Everyone was eager to play like the wildfire spread rapidly. In order to correct the social atmosphere, government finally applied an iron fist and ordered the ban on "Saucer Divine" game. It is strictly forbidden to manufacture and sell. It also prohibits schools and institutions at all levels from playing "saucer divine". As soon as the ghosts of the legend, the "Saucer Divine" toys disappeared from this society, leaving only some vague impressions in people's minds. When occasionally mentioned, there is only a kind of surprise like a past story.

For those who are over forty years old, I believe that they have experienced a short period of time without being too strange. However, after the disappearance of "Saucer Divine" for nearly two decades, a decade ago, due to the release of a fascinating movie  "Esprit D'amour", "Sauce Divine" suddenly emerged again. For a while. the bookstores have posted with extremely poorly written advertisement posters, and they have blatantly sold such "Saicer Divine" playware that was originally banned. However, in fact, the initiators were not influenced by the film "Yin and Yang Mistakes". Before the release of "Esprit D'amour", a family-style altar in the suburbs of Taipei had been selling semi-publicly in newspaper classifieds by mail order, each set of NT$200, comes with a summon ring-bell, with special emphasis on these "saucers" which have been blessed by the Guru in the secret teachings. Say: At the bottom of the saucer, there is indeed a "Sanskrit" spell written by Cinnabar
pen. As for the user's  feedback, the power seems to be similar with the regular one. It made no difference than the previous old style.

As for the Hong Kong film "Esprit D'Amour" starring Allen and Ni Shujun, strictly speaking: the theme consciousness and the story structure were very superficial and immature. The development of the plot is also unreasonable, perhaps the original idea. It is the small cost investment, so the stunt scene can not be compared with the science fiction of the United States, even the level of traditional Chinese film is not enough, especially in the latter part of the film is simply a farce, but released in the country at the time, there was an unexpected blockbuster. The reason should be attributed to the packaging of this film, and the Hong Kong film has always been aggressively propagating the offensive at all costs, and it coincided with the domestic film and Gu Long  model. The timing of the martial arts film sliding to the bottom of the valley, no wonder that this kind of rough "spiritual farce" has sprung up everywhere, and it is more unique, and more importantly, this film at least plays the same props that run through the whole drama - "Saucer Divine."

It is understood that after the filming of "Esprit D'Amour", there was a company called "Ming X", and when it was profitable, it immediately advertised in major newspapers in China and publicly sold "Saucer Divine" play wares. But afterwards, when the police started to pay attention about it,  the main seller had made a lot of NT dollars and fled. I don’t know if the audience who has seen the movie "Esprit D'Amour" was holding someone who had the same fantasy about "Saucer Divine." People hoped that through a cheap little saucer and a poorly printed dial and will get to know a beautiful and affectionate female ghost (or a handsome, considerate male ghost). But it was understood that Some people who play "Saucer Divine" were fascinated and obsessed with it. They had never heard of a good drama. They often got schizophrenic, or they had a terrible accident in a state of spiritual paralysis and uncontrollability. Or in order to pursue a world of self-righteousness, and easily gave up the precious life.

In fact, from the literal point of view, it can be found that the "Saucer Divine" itself is very problematic, because in our country, "Deity" and "Immortal" are often connected into a noun, but the position of "Deity" It seems that the grid is higher than the "immortal", and the positive ingredients are also mostly. In contrast, the word "Immortal" is used. From the names of "Foxes " and "immortal", "immortal" is inseparable. If To make a statistic, you should find that most of the "divines" or "spirits" that was successfully summoned when playing "Saucer Divine" is nothing to do, in another space, fluttering, doing nothing. "The Soul Ghost" is only a "random", because whether you believe in Dieties or not, even from a logical point of view, if there is a "Divine", these fair and selfless deities have too many positive things to do. Can you let people summon anytime during playing becasuen of human's curiosity and entertainment?

Besides; perhaps for the individual, the future telling is absolutely critical, but it often forgets that there are at least six billion spirits in the world, and he is completely on an equal footing. I hope to know the future. Ask a common man, how can qualified with eligibility to arbitrarily put his finger on the "saucer" and can call the divine to predict the future for him?

Some people may argue that when they play "Saucer Divine" game , most of the summons were made by some people who are familiar by public, the famous "divine", or some ancient celebrities who had been recorded in the official history. According to many people who often play "saucers", they often call for where are the "three Princes", "Ji Gong", "Monkey King", "Guan Sheng Emperor", "Fu You Di Jun" (Liu Dong bin) Or "Zhu Ge Liang", "Li Bai", "Yue Fei", "Zheng Cheng Gong" and several great men of modern times, so these are absolutely righteous.

In fact, this point of view is really ridiculous and childish; even the human society is still eccentric, some unscrupulous people can pretend to be relatives of political figures, and the senior generals or the personnel of the security units are deceived before the fox tail is exposed. In the same way, some people who have been educated and not ignorant can still get deceived and severely lost. Some "unknown ghosts" in other space might do something  magical. However, for a "ghost god" in none human space, it is just a matter of trick. If you simply confuse by some "magic", is this terrible?

Not to mention the "Saucer Divine", there are some people in the altars of various places who ask for the "Shaman" to get possessed so could to answer the questions with the "sand writing", there had been some wandering ghosts pretending to be a deity to accept the sacrifice, to enjoy the offerings, and later dismantled by the Taoist on the spot, ready to be sanctioned by spells, then these lonely souls finally had to mourn for mercy and ran away.

At the same time, in some ancient novels, there are similar strange things recorded: At some time in Zhejiang, some people used the sand plate to get deity's advise in front of the Buddha of the house. In the incense smoke,  a self-proclaimed divine as " Zhuge Liang" showed up, but it is not like the words of the righteous Divine. There was a spectator starting to question the name of the place had been since the Han Dynasty. The "divine" insisted the name of the place has not been changed since the Han Dynasty. As a result, the show immediately dismantled it. The "divine" must be impersonating, because, according to the records of the county records here: the place name has been changed three times since the Han Dynasty, the current place name was determined after the Ming Dynasty and  adopted until now.  In this moment, this "Lonely Soul" immediately fled away.

It can be seen that even before the altars of the gods or the Buddhist monks in the home, there are still some "wild ghosts and evil spirits" who dare to pretend to be provocative, not to mention that only a few primary school students have been curious and fun to play "Saucer fairy." What time? Of course, we have no intention of arbitrarily arguing that all the  summoning are all "evil spirits," but whether it is a divine or a ghost, it is a spirit, and with a very limited judgment, its ability is weak. The sensory cognition, how will it be distinguished that it is evil? How to expect people can clearly distinguish the righteousness and goodness of the "spirit"?

This article aims to establish a correct concept of spirituality, so although it can be confirmed that "Saucer Divine" can be used to communicate with the spiritual world, the harm is enormous. If it is used for serious scientific research, it is understandable, but if it is The primary and secondary school students who are not deeply involved in the world and who have not yet developed their physical and mental health, the playing "Saucer Divine" would be get mental affected. The consequences would be more dangerous than speeding.  The more serious could lead schizophrenia and could never return to normal life, so do not try easily.
