凡打醮一定要請喃嘸（道士）做法事，分两派，“全真教”和“正一派”。“全真教”創始人王重陽。全真道士不婚、素食，常住道觀清修（如圓玄學院、蓬瀛仙館），為出家道士。“正一派”，張陵被尊為天師，就是天師捉妖那位張天師，凡是道教的符箓各派統稱正一道，主要奉持《正一經》，崇拜鬼神、畫符念咒、驅鬼降妖、祈福禳災等。鄰近鄉村荔枝窩、南涌打醮，法事由“全真教”的圓玄學院主理。吉澳請的應該是圍村喃嘸，亦即“正一派”。去年年尾一共做過三場十年大醮，大埔頭、元朗街坊醮和龍躍頭醮，前兩個醮都是行全真科儀，但龍躍頭醮卻是遵行正一之法，由喃嘸主壇。用“全真”或“正一”科儀沒有規定，如果過去大家合作愉快，下次醮會也會續用。

 

圍村喃嘸之中有兩位鎮山師傅，一位是陳鈞，另一位是梁仲（梁師傅最近去世）。梁仲和陳鈞都是新界圍村喃嘸的大師級人物，全個香港的太平清醮，若是由正一喃嘸經營的，基本上都是由兩位師傅包辦，其中兩人搭檔的更佔約七八成。圍村喃嘸後繼無人，相信很快香港的大學會推出「專業喃嘸課程」，讀書學喃嘸。古代的書生不做喃嘸都人人學畫符，因此俗語有話：「不識畫符畀鬼笑」，誠然。

There are two schools of thought, the "Quanzhen Sect" and the "Zhengyi Sect", and the "Zhengyi Sect".

 

 "The founder of the Quanzhen Sect was Wang Chongyang. Quanzhen Taoists are not married, are vegetarians, and live in Taoist monasteries (e.g., Yuanxuan Academy and Pengying Xiankan). "Zhang Ling was honoured as the Heavenly Master, the one who captured the demons. All the Taoist schools of talismans were collectively known as Zheng Yi Dao, which mainly worshipped ghosts and deities, drew talismans and recited incantations, exorcised ghosts and demons, and prayed for good fortune and disaster avoidance, etc. As far as I know, the neighbouring villages are very close by.

 

 As far as I know, the Jiao-festival in the neighbouring villages of Lai Chi Wo and Nam Chung is conducted by the Yuen Yuen Institute of the Quan Zhen Sect. In Kat O, it should be the Wai Tsuen Man Chiu, that is, the "Zheng Yi School" (I was not present at any of the Jiao-festivals after 1986, so I only deduced from the costumes of the Taoist priests on the photographs, and I would like to be corrected if I am wrong). At the end of last year, there were three 10-year jiao-festivals, namely the Tai Po Tau, Yuen Long Kai Fong and Lung Yeuk Tau Jiao-festivals. The first two jiao-festivals were conducted in accordance with the Quanzhen rituals, but the Lung Yeuk Tau Jiao-festivals were conducted in accordance with the Ching-yi rituals, and were presided over by a munificent monk.

 

 There is no rule on the use of the "Quanzhen" or "Zhengyi" rituals, and if there is good co-operation in the past, the rituals will be used again in the next jiao-festival.

 

 There are two Zhenshan masters in the village, one is Chan Kwan and the other is Leung Chung (Master Leung passed away recently). Leung Chung and Chan Kwan were both masters of the Bun Festival in the New Territories. Basically, all the Bun Festival in Hong Kong, if it is run by the first Bun Festival, is organised by the two masters, and about 70% to 80% of the Bun Festival are run by the two masters. As there is no successor to the village muckraking, it is believed that the universities in Hong Kong will soon introduce "professional muckraking courses" for learning muckraking. In ancient times, all scholars learnt to draw talismans instead of mumbling, hence the saying: "If you don't know how to draw talismans, you are laughing at the ghosts", which is true.
