It was popular in ancient times to worship the master. Generally speaking, people would prepare fruit-scented wax, put it on a table, face the sky and the earth, and shout out the heroic words "I don't want to be born in the same year and the same month, but I want to die in the same year and the same month." With the witness of heaven and earth, we became brothers with different surnames. From now on, we will go through life and death together, eating well and drinking spicy food, and living a happy life.

The most famous brothers who worshiped each other in history should be Liu, Guan, and Zhang. The three of them were really close brothers. They fought together through life and death to fight against the world. After Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were killed, the sad and angry Liu Bei did not hesitate to take action. The whole country's troops attacked Wu, and finally defeated Xiaoting, and he himself died in Baidi City.

The endings of Liu, Guan, and Zhang are disappointing, but from the perspective of brotherhood, they all fulfilled their promises when they became sworn sworn brothers, and they will remain faithful to each other until death. Admirable.

It was popular in ancient times to worship Baozi and become brothers with different surnames. Among the ways of worshiping Baozi, there was a method of worship, which was to become an "eight acquaintance".

Everyone has heard the term "the turn of eight prayers" many times, but few people know which eight prayers these eight prayers are.

Now, the author will tell you what these eight prayers are. After knowing the origin of these eight prayers, you can understand why the ancients did not easily make "eight prayers".

One bow and cut off one's neck

So Lian Po was very dissatisfied, thinking that Lin Xiangru got the position of prime minister just by talking about it. He had fought hard on the battlefield to achieve such feats. Why should a talkative person be on an equal footing with him?
