The god in charge of marriage between men and women in China folklore. Also known as the old under the moon and the old on the moon. Legend has it that he has a red rope. If he ties it to his boyfriend and girlfriend's feet, even if he is an enemy or thousands of miles apart, he will eventually get married. A brief account of Tang's Continued Mystery Record. Book Appointment: In the Tang Dynasty, Wei Gu visited Song Cheng Nandian and met an old man sitting on his back, looking up books under the moon. Ask what books you have checked and get married. He also asked what was in the neck, and the rope ears were red to tie the husband and wife's feet. Although the enemy is in a foreign country, this rope is still good. After Song Cheng heard about it, he named his shop "Engagement Shop". Generally speaking, the media is talking about the elderly under the moon.
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Zongyuan's drama "The Old Couple under the Moon" was staged. This legend reflects the fate and mysterious views of ancient people on matchmaking when marriage cannot be independent. Ceng Yuan Ruiqing's "Leaving Shoes" I: "Why do you want to find Laoyue, then you are a good media." Zhang Ming's Double Stories. "Married": "Haven't you heard that there are white heads under the moon?" Thousands of miles of marriage are led by lines. "Surprise at the First Moment" Volume 5: "No one has ever said that the old red rope is tied under the moon. Although thousands of miles apart, it is consistent. "The fifth and seventh chapters of" The Red Chamber Forest ":"If a person can be tied without a red line under the moon, he can never go to another place. "
On the basis of the biography of Yingying by Tang Yuanzhen, Wang Shifu created the Yuan zaju The West Chamber, in which Zhang Xun and Yingying were tried to match. Because of their lively personality and spirit of helping others, they are loved by the world. Later generations also called the matchmaker "matchmaker".
There was a word "matchmaker" in Ming and Qing dynasties, which was also used to refer to matchmaker. However, because the matchmaker has a glib tongue, her words are often not worthy of the name, so the word "matchmaker" is slightly derogatory. Ming? The so-called "three aunts and six grandmothers" in Tao Zongyi's "Dropping out of Farming" usually refers to women who talk a lot but do nothing. For example, Pu Songling's Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio? Shao nine niang ",clearly know Shao nine niang has no husband-in-law matchmaker came to Jiu Shao's maiden:
So I talked to Shao's wife. Seeing the girl, she was shocked and praised: "What a beautiful aunt! If you go to Zhaoyang Hospital, how do Zhao sisters count? " He asked again, "Who is the husband?" Shao's wife replied, "Not yet." He said, "If you are a lady, why are you worried about not having a prince as a guest?" Shao's wife sighed: "The ministers dare not look; As long as a reading seed is a good ear. My family was guilty and unjust, so I changed my election. I don't know what my intention is. " He said, "Don't worry, madam. You are a beauty, and I don't know what your predecessor did. Please bear it. I had a good laugh yesterday-Chai Jia Lang Junyun: When I saw the color in a certain house, I wanted to treat my daughter as a job. This is not a hungry goose, is it? I have been scolded by the old woman! "
It can be described as a vivid image of a glib matchmaker.
god of longevity
The birthday girl, in the current folklore, has a male birthday girl and a female birthday girl. The male birthday girl is an Antarctic fairy, and the female birthday girl is called Ma Gu. Accompanied by longevity, there are three stars: Fu, Lu and Xi. According to legend, Changshou Company's longevity is dedicated to blessing the whole life.
The legend of the Antarctic birthday girl
The birthday girl is the most influential god among the birthday girls, and its prototype is the stars. There are two versions of the star referred to by the longevity star. One refers to the first two of Seven Nights in the East in black dragon, that is, Jiao Hekang. Guo Pu's annotation "Erya Shi Tian" said: Longevity stars are called longevity because they "count jiao and health, and stay at night for a long time". In other words, the angle of the birthday girl is as long as the stars, so the Lord lives long. The other is an old Antarctic man who takes the birthday boy as his western palace.
The Antarctic old man star was originally a god who was in charge of the rise and fall of national luck and the life span of the nation, and later expanded to a god mainly based on life span. Sima Qian's "Historical Records" and "Hanshu" said: There is a big star in the West Palace, called the Antarctic Laoren Star, which appears, and the public order is absent, and the soldiers rise. Zhang Shoujie in the Tang Dynasty extended the role of the old star, holding that the old star not only controls the fate of the country, but also controls the life span of the king. He said: "The old man's star is in the south of the arc, southeast of Sirius and south pole, which should be able to prolong life." Look, the country has a long life, so it is called longevity, and the world is peaceful; People will be worried if you don't see it. "
Later, the old star expanded from specializing in the life span of kings to managing the life span of people under the world, and became the god of longevity worshipped by all, and the colors related to emperors gradually faded. Sima Zhen has always regarded the birthday boy as the god of longevity among his masters. He said: "The birthday girl is still covered with the old Antarctic star. Seeing the world is safe, so the temple is blessed with longevity. "
In the Tang Dynasty, Jiao, Kang and Antarctic old people were the birthday stars, and an altar was set up to offer sacrifices. Since then, the worship of the two birthday girls has become one. "Li Si" said: "In July of the 24th year of Tang Kaiyuan, it is advisable to order our company to set up a special altar for the birthday star to sacrifice the old star and Jiao Kang for seven nights."
The deification of longevity is related to the custom of offering sacrifices. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, every Mid-Autumn Festival, activities were held to respect the elderly and offer sacrifices to the birthday girl.
Because of the combination of paying homage to the birthday boy and respecting the elderly, the birthday boy was fixed as an old man with a long stick. The statue of the birthday star in the Southern Song Dynasty is "leaning on crutches", "crutches are too big, a person's head, and the music is strange". In the Ming dynasty, the image of the longevity with long head and short body gradually became prominent.
Journey to the West describes the birthday girl as "holding Ganoderma lucidum in hand, flying embroidery, long head, big ears and short body." In modern times, the image of the birthday girl is more festive and deeply loved by people. The birthday boy is an old man with white hair. The white beard is elegant, with long eyebrows showing charity, holding a leading crutch, and the most prominent is the long and large bald forehead, which is called "the first of longevity" by the people.
There is also a legend about the special forehead of the birthday girl: the mother of the birthday girl has been pregnant with the birthday girl for nine years and can't give birth yet. The mother was so anxious that even the child in her belly asked, "Son, why don't you come out?" The birthday girl said in the womb, "If the stone lion at my door bleeds, I will be born." Hearing this, the butcher next door painted the lion's eyes with pig blood, and the mother told her son. The birthday boy hurried out from his mother's armpit. Because before the age, the head of the birthday girl becomes long and bulging.
This legend fictionalizes the extraordinary pregnancy time of the birthday girl, just to show that the birthday girl's life is extraordinary, so she can live a long life and give people a long life. The story of the birthday girl is more common in traditional Chinese opera novels.
The birthday girl who appeared in The Legend of the White Snake and Drum Music is a compassionate old man. Xu Xian was scared to death when the White Snake drank realgar wine to show her true colors. In order to save Xu Xian, White Snake went to Kunlun Mountain to steal Ganoderma lucidum. "White snake female, on the fairy mountain, to steal ganoderma lucidum. Ganoderma lucidum was stolen down the mountain. The white crane boy stood in the way, and the two men went down the mountain to fight. The Antarctic fairy Weng also came:' Why did the white snake steal the elixir?' The white snake woman knelt on her knees and pitied:' Shout longevity to the Antarctic immortals ...' "Later, the birthday girl was very sympathetic and gave the white snake Ganoderma lucidum. Finally, White Snake saved Xu Xian with Ganoderma lucidum. The good character of the birthday girl is known to the world with the spread of the legend of White Snake.
Shou Xingtu, a folk New Year picture, is people's favorite mascot. The kind-hearted old man with the birthday girl in the picture satisfies people's good wishes of health and longevity, makes people feel relaxed and happy, and gives people a kind of psychological satisfaction and spiritual comfort. Shou Xingtu is also decorated with longevity mascots such as pine, crane, turtle, peach, ganoderma lucidum and gourd, which adds auspiciousness and highlights the theme of longevity. There are also some folk New Year pictures, which depict the birthday girl and two stars, Fu and Lu. This kind of "Fu Lu Shou Tu" used to be an auspicious picture and was often hung in the nave.
Ma Gu witnessed "Three Mulberry Fields in the East China Sea"
In the past, there was a difference between men and women celebrating old people's birthdays. Men hang Shou Xingtu, women hang Shou Xingtu. Female Shou Xingtu usually draws Magu, such as Magu's Birthday.
Magu is as beautiful as a fairy, walking in clouds; Or do floating walking; Or two-handed tray dedication, a pot of wine in the plate, a few peaches, wine is homemade birthday wine, peach is the birthday peach given by the queen mother; Or carry a thin bamboo branch on your shoulder with a pot of wine hanging on it, accompanied by a teenager carrying a huge Xiantao. No matter what kind of Magu map, peaches and wine are essential things, because peaches and wine are symbols of longevity, and Magu's birthday is expressed by offering peaches and wine.
There have always been different opinions about Ma Gu's life experience, but one thing is the same: Ma Gu was cultivated by mortals and regarded as an immortal fairy. Of course, there are various theories about Magu becoming immortal.
The story of Magu was first seen in Ge Hong's Biography of the Fairy Magu, starting with the scene where another fairy, Wang Yuan, met Magu. Ma Gu said that since she left Wang Yuan, she has seen the "Three Mulberry Gardens in the East China Sea" and she highly praised its longevity. This is why Magu is considered as a longevity fairy.
It is also related to the Queen Mother that Ma Gu became the birthday girl. Legend has it that on March 3, the Queen Mother's birthday, a flat peach party was held, and immortals from all walks of life got together to celebrate her birthday. Baihua, Peony, Peony and Begonia were invited by Hua Xian to go with Magu. Four flower fairies presented their own fairy flowers to celebrate the birthday of the Queen Mother. Ma Gu has nothing to offer, so she brewed a bottle of birthday wine with Ganoderma lucidum by the Zhu Jiang River and presented it to the Queen Mother. This is the origin of Ma Gu's birthday. Therefore, Ma Gu was named the immortal by the Queen Mother.
door-god
The janitor, it is said that it can catch ghosts. The Book of the Yellow Emperor was quoted in Ying Shao's Custom Pass in the Eastern Han Dynasty: In ancient times, there lived two brothers in Dushuo Mountain. There is a peach tree on the mountain, and the shade is like a cover. Every morning, they will review the ghosts under the tree. If an evil spirit harms the world, tie it up and feed it to the tiger. Later, people painted the portraits of Shen Tu and Lei Yu on two mahogany boards and hung them on both sides of the door to ward off evil spirits. It is recorded in the Chronicle of Jingchu Age in Liang Zonggu of the Southern Dynasties: On the first day of the first month, "making a peach board to touch the door is called immortal wood, painting two gods to stick to the door, leaving Shen Tu on the left and Lei Yu on the right, which is called the door god." However, the real guardians recorded in the history books are not Shen Tu and Lei Yu, but an ancient warrior named Cheng qin. In Han Guang Chuan written by Ban Gu, it is recorded that the temple gate of King Guang Chuan (Qu Bing) is painted with the portrait of Cheng qin, an ancient warrior, wearing shorts and holding a long sword. In the Tang dynasty, the position of the door god was replaced by Qin's harmony.
The Journey to the West's account is more detailed: King Jinghe made a bet with the fortune teller, and as a result, he broke the dogma and was punished. The Jade Emperor appointed Wei Zhi as the supervisor and beheading officer, and King Jinghe begged Taizong to spare his life. Emperor Taizong agreed, and when the dragon was killed, he summoned Wei Zhi to fight with him. Unexpectedly, Wei Zhi took a nap in the rain, and his soul ascended to heaven and beheaded the Dragon King. The Dragon King complained that Taizong had broken his word and cried outside the palace day and night for his life. Emperor Taizong told his ministers that General Qin Baoshu was willing to stand outside the door with Wei Chijingde in uniform. Emperor Taizong agreed. There was really nothing that night. Emperor Taizong couldn't bear the hardships of the two generals, and ordered Dan Qing, a highly skilled painter, to draw the true faces of the two generals and stick them on the door. Later generations followed suit, so the two generals became gatekeepers of thousands of families. On the two gates of some old-fashioned gatehouses in Chaoshan today, we can also see Shen Tu, Lei Yu or two brave warriors. Their images seem to be the same, but after careful observation, one of them holds Strafe and the other holds an iron mace. Wei Chijingde is the whip bearer, and Qin Qiong is the scepter bearer.
Door couplets are also developed from peach symbols. At first, people painted the portraits of Shen Tu and Lei Yu on mahogany boards and hung them on two doors. Later, the portrait was changed to "door" only. But two words were written on both sides of the door, and the expression content was limited. People felt dissatisfied, so they hung two red boards on both sides of the door and wrote more pairs of words that fully reflected their wishes. According to the History of Song Dynasty. Xu Meng, the queen of Shu, wrote a poem with a bachelor's degree as the title. The poem reads: "Welcome the New Year in Qing Yu, and the first festival is Changchun." It is said that this is the earliest Spring Festival couplets in China. In the Ming Dynasty, after Zhu Yuanzhang made Nanjing his capital, he ordered all families to paste couplets, renamed Spring Festival couplets, all written in red paper. Legend has it that on one occasion, Zhu Yuanzhang personally visited the people, and only one family did not post Spring Festival couplets. When asked, it turns out that this family is a castrated pig and can't read, so I personally wrote a couplet for him: "Split the road of life and death with both hands and cut off the root of right and wrong with one knife." Due to the vigorous promotion of past dynasties, Spring Festival couplets have become a special form of Chinese folk literature and art.
Yama
Yamara ja is a free translation of Sanskrit, also translated as Heluo, commonly known as Hehe.
Legend has it that long ago, Yan Luowang was the king of Pisha. He is militant by nature and never gives in. At that time, the only country that could compete with him was the country ruled by Wang Weituo, the original country, and the army was also very strong. They have been at war for years, fighting and killing each other.
Luo is a free translation of Sanskrit Yamara ja, also translated as He Luo, commonly known as He.
Legend has it that long ago, Yan Luowang was the king of Pisha. He is militant by nature and never gives in. At that time, the only country that could compete with him was the country ruled by Wang Weituo, the original country, and the army was also very strong. They have been at war for years, fighting and killing each other.
Sand King's national strength gradually weakened because of his blind resort to armaments. Finally, in a great war, Visha's army was almost killed by King Vito. Sand King managed to escape to the top of a mountain in the form of "deus ex", and his 18th Army assembled a million troops to look for him on the mountain. They comforted Peter Sand King first, and then they flew into a rage. They swore to heaven in the direction that defeated Vito began to live: "Follow Peter Sand King until death do us part! We must severely punish the vicious enemy, even if we go to the underworld, we must be king and fight bloody battles to the end! " Then, under the guidance of Pi Sand King, they went straight to hell without hesitation. As a result, Pi Sand King became a famous Yan Luowang. His eighteen novels were judges of eighteen layers of hell, and millions of people who followed him became jailers one by one.
Sand King's oath has finally come true! Defeated by King Vito before his death, he became the king of hell after his death. When King Vito died, hell was really enough for him. There are countless kinds of hell, all kinds of strange, everything. What eight cold hell, eight hot hell, lonely hell, mud ploughing hell, knife mountain hell, iron bed hell, ice hell, skinning hell, beast hell, sword hell, maggot hell and other eighteen layers, each layer has cruel punishment and bloody instruments of torture.
Perhaps there were more and more triad cases later, and it was difficult for one Yan to finish the trial, so ten cases were divided. The top ten heavenly kings are Qin Guangwang, Chu Jiangwang, Song Di, Guan, Chen Wang, Tai Shan Wang, Du Shi Wang, Unequal Wang and Wudaolun Wang. They each judge the ghosts who were taken to their temples in the Ten Halls of Hell. Because Yan Luowang is the most famous, it ranks first in the "Top Ten Yamaraja". According to legend, after death, the soul should report to Zhujiajingtang.

The land Lord is the god who manages the land. The ancestors worked hard to open up wasteland and pray for a bumper harvest, so there was a ceremony to sacrifice the land. The land Lord is also called "God of fortitude", "Houtu" and "Uncle Gong". Generally speaking, it is called "Fude Shen Zheng" in towns and temples, "Houtu" in rural areas and cemeteries, and "Bo Gong" in Hakka people.
Been earth. In Taiwan Province Province, the folk refers to the god who guards the cemetery, and is also the land god. Legend has it that in the Qin Dynasty, Qin Shihuang requisitioned all the able-bodied men to build the Great Wall. Meng Jiangnv's husband was sent to build a city. Meng Jiangnv was so affectionate that she went not far to Wan Li to find her husband. It was only when she finally got to the Great Wall that she learned that her husband had died. She was so sad that she cried over the Great Wall in Wan Li, revealing many bones, but she didn't know which were her husband's bones. Suddenly, I saw an old gentleman say, "You bit your index finger, and you dropped blood on the bone. It is your husband's bone that is stained with blood. " Sure enough, I found the bone. When Meng Jiangnu came home with her bones in her arms, she gradually gave birth to flesh and blood, as if she had come back from the dead. The old man was afraid that it would be against his destiny for the deceased to come back from the dead, so he taught Meng Jiangnv to say, "It is inconvenient to hold bones, but it is easy to carry them in a bag. Meng Jiangnu did as he said, and her bones were scattered. She was very unhappy and blamed the old man, so the old man promised her to help her husband keep the grave. This is the origin of the "afterlife" in front of the cemetery.
The land lords who worship in the folk are all kind-hearted and white-haired old people, sometimes accompanied by land women, and sometimes only the land lords. This is a folklore story: When the Jade Emperor sent the landlord down to earth, he asked him what his ambitions were. The landlord wants everyone in the world to become rich and happy. The landlady objected. She believes that people in the world should be rich and poor, so that they can play their social functions together. "Then, isn't the poor too pitiful?" said the earth god. The landlady retorted, "If everyone becomes rich, who will help carry the sedan chair when our daughter gets married? The landlord had nothing to say, so he gave up his ambition The world thinks the landlady is selfish. She is a "wicked woman" who refuses to worship her, but admires the landlady.
The land Lord is the god of wealth worshipped by businessmen. On the second and sixteenth day of every month, you should worship the land god, which is called "tooth-making" (or tooth-making). The second day of February in the lunar calendar is called "Touya" and the sixteenth day of December is called "Taiya". In particular, Taiya businessmen will treat their employees to a "Taiya" banquet to thank them for their hard work over the past year.
Zhong Kui
Painters in ancient and modern times like to paint Zhong Kui, but few people know its origin. Shen Songkuo's "Bi Tan" said: According to folklore, the last scholar of Emperor Tang Ming died in the south. Little did they know that Ceng Yun, the prime minister of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, said that the legend of Zhong Kui originated at least not later than the Six Dynasties, and it was lost in the Tang Dynasty (Xie Ci Zhong Kui and Calendar). In modern times, some scholars thought that Zhong Kui was Zhong Kui, and he was a "great vertebra" (Zhong Kui read different vertebra). He also said that ghosts are afraid of the spine, so they personified Zhong Kui. The advantage of his theory is that he tries to find its roots from etymology, instead of taking Zhong Kui as his real surname.
It's just that I still know one thing and I don't know the other. The so-called "ghosts are afraid of the spine" is nonsense. The ancient Gaelic words "vertebra" and "mallet" are connected. The so-called sledgehammer is also a sledgehammer. There is a drum god in ancient legend, that is, a person with Dazhui (Wan) in his hand. In addition, the ancient myth of China is a combination of drum god and Thor, who also has an axe in his hand.
Thor, commonly known as Leigong Reggae, has a ferocious face and a blackhead, and is the only god who can kill ghosts. Reggae, that is, the ghost of ringing bells and drums. Bells and drums are also heavenly drums. Its real name is Zhong Ghost, Zhong Ghost or Dong Ghost (Dong Ghost means Dong Shen Gou Mang). The transliteration of "Gui Zhong" is Zhong Kui.
In addition, Zhong Kui's name can be found in the family name. In Zuo Zhuan, it is recorded that the eight families of Yin adherents have the surname of Zhong Kui, which should be the surname of the bell and drum maker. Xianming "Zhong You" is another language in Zhong Kui. The Book of Songs says "Nine Heroes Travelling". Nine, ghosts and ancient sounds and meanings are homologous. Nine poems are the first of ghosts, and ugly words are nine poems. Han people note the Book of Songs, saying that the male is a lizard.
I tasted the dragon of archaeology, the legendary Thor. The truth is that the crocodile god (lizard) is in disguise. In ancient times, dragons and tigers were regarded as the same kind. Crocodiles and tigers were called blades in ancient times, and blades were male. Crocodile gods have evolved into dragon gods, rain gods, thor gods, country gods, evil spirits, thunderbolt gods and town spirits. On the first day of the first month of the Spring Festival, the folk custom of taking tigers as evil gods all originated from this belief. In recent years, the brick paintings of the Liang Dynasty unearthed in Hubei have a picture of a reggae beating drums, and the silk paintings unearthed in Mawangdui have a picture of a ghost town with scales, wings, tails, horns and sharp claws. This is an earlier photo of Zhong Kui that I saw today. In fact, they are all dragon gods-crocodile gods in disguise. Once the mystery of the ages is solved, how fast will it be?
Kitchen God
Kitchen God, also known as Kitchen King, is the god in charge of food in ancient myths and legends. Food is the most important thing for people. At that time, people sacrificed to the kitchen god to thank and celebrate his merits. About the Western Han Dynasty, the priesthood of Kitchen God gradually changed into mastering the fortune of a person's life, and it was a complete and universal superstition. According to Records of the Historian, an alchemist named Li in the Western Han Dynasty once claimed that the stove could make an alchemist live longer. By the end of the Han dynasty, this concept was more widely circulated. Zheng Xuan noticed that the "stove" in the Five Sacrifices was "the human world where the little gods lived, inspecting the little gods and reprimanding them." According to the biography of Yin Xing in the later Han Dynasty, as soon as Yin Zi saw the Kitchen God, he immediately offered a sacrifice to the Antelope Temple. As a result, she became a very rich person. In the Jin Dynasty, the Kitchen God carried out the command authority, evolved into a god who observed human evils, and became the eyes and ears directly placed by the Emperor of Heaven in every household. Ge Hong of the Jin Dynasty quoted Shu Wei of the Eastern Han Dynasty as saying: "On a dark night, Kitchen God sent a white man to the sky to commit a crime. Those who commit the most crimes will lose discipline (300 days' life), and those who commit the least crimes will lose their lives (3 days' life). Due to the integration of the kitchen god and the life god, there is a folk saying that the kitchen god is sacrificed to protect the prosperity of future generations. "The True Sutra of Kitchen Palace" has such words as "Bao Shou keeps you 90 years old, Bao Zi keeps you having a baby".
Kitchen God was originally a family god and was worshipped by people all the year round. Generally, it is only on the first and fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and no arrangement is needed. However, every year on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, a sacrificial ceremony is held, which is called "sending a stove". The custom of offering sacrifices to stoves on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month in Henan Province is accompanied by a bleak folklore: In ancient times, an old couple had only one son, and they regarded his son as the apple of their eye and loved him very much. However, because the family was poor, they couldn't walk to the mouth of the lake, so they had to bite the bullet and let their son dig coal in the coal mine. The old man misses his son more and more because he hasn't come back for a long time. On this day, the old woman told the old man to visit the coal mine. On the way, the old man met a barefoot fellow traveler, and the two became more and more familiar and got along well. During the chat, the old man learned that Barefoot was instructed by Rebecca to find 100 miners in the mine. The old man was in a hurry and begged his son to stay barefoot. Barefoot generously agreed and told him not to tell anyone. Seeing his son, the old man pretended to be ill, and his son was waiting around and unable to go down the well. Soon, something happened in the coal mine, and the old man hurried home with his son. Three years passed in a blink of an eye. On the night of the twelfth lunar month, the old man remembered the risks of that year and couldn't help telling his wife. Who knows, this statement was heard by Chef Jun. On the evening of 23rd, Chef Jun went to heaven and told the Jade Emperor about it. The Jade Emperor became angry from embarrassment, and immediately punished the barefoot piece and took away the old man's son. Because of this, on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, people respect Zhao Jun for eating sweets, hoping that he will stop gossiping when he arrives in the Heavenly Palace. Over time, people sacrifice stoves on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month. On the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, the first round of firecrackers was set off in urban and rural areas of the Central Plains. City residents are busy buying sesame candy, fire and other food for offering sacrifices to stoves. In the vast rural areas, preparations and grand ceremonies for offering sacrifices to stoves gradually began in the deafening sound of guns.

Five Blessingg, a lucky star, has different records in various books, covering secular welfare such as longevity, wealth, peace, good luck and many children and grandchildren. For the origin of Fuxing, there are many versions among the people: some say that it is the celestial official who descended to earth; It is said that he was an official of the Ming Dynasty. There is also the legendary "Tai Sui" ...
The lucky star corresponds to Jupiter among the nine planets, also known as the "old star". The old saying "never touch the ground" stems from the strange imagination of the ancients. In the early stage of evolution, Fuxing actually originated from a kind of "strange meat" growing underground-Tai Sui.
People's understanding of Tai Sui may only be vague from the word "Tai Sui Head-up". Tai sui is an ancient species between plants and animals. According to historical records, Tai Sui is a kind of food with special energy, which is white, meat-like, tasteless and has the ability to grow in pieces.
The earliest report was about 1979, and something called Tai Sui was found somewhere in Gansu. Because it was in the period of the recovery of the motherland, academia and scientific research institutions did not pay attention to it for various reasons. 1993, the discovery of Tai Sui in the south bank of Weihe River in Shaanxi caused a sensation and was bought by people of insight at a high price. Emperor Akihito of Japan specially came to Shaanxi during his visit.
There is a folk legend that Qin Shihuang traveled all over the famous mountains in search of a panacea for immortality. On the Zhong Nanshan Mountain outside Chang 'an, there is a Taoist who hides the sun. When Qin Shihuang visited the Taoist priest, he asked to teach him the secret of immortality. Taoist said: There is a growing fairy named Tai Sui in the endless Qinshan Mountain, who sucks the breath of the sun every day and receives the light of the moon at night. If the first person finds it and throws it away, he will die. If he eats it, it will become very powerful and immortal. Few people can see it for thousands of years, and even fewer people can eat it. Fearing that Qin Shihuang would be angry, the Taoist priest concealed an extremely important sentence: "Only when the country is peaceful, the people are safe, the government is harmonious, and the population is prosperous, human talents will emerge from the soil."
Qin Shihuang returned to the DPRK and ordered everyone to try to find it. Xu Fusheng said he could find it for Qin Shihuang. In recent years, Xu Fu spent a lot of money and failed to find it. He was afraid that Qin Shihuang would be angry and killed him. It is also said that there are 500 boys and girls in the East China Sea who have crossed the ocean and never come back. Qin Shihuang also failed to do so and died in the heyday.
Microbiologists' research on recently discovered entities shows that the so-called "strange meat" is a rare slime mold complex, similar to mushrooms and ganoderma lucidum. It was deified by the ancients only because of its peculiar shape and unique growth mode. Coupled with the prevalence of folk geomantic omen in geomantic omen, it is widely circulated that "you can't break ground when you are old", and Fuxing only has a dangerous side in the early stage of evolution.
In the middle Tang Dynasty, an honest official named Yangcheng began to act as a spokesman for reviving the world. During his tenure in Daozhou, Hunan Province, he risked his life to write a letter to the emperor of the dynasty, exempting the people of Daozhou from the pain of separation of flesh and blood.
During the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, Yangcheng was also said to be Yang Cheng, the fifth emperor of the Han Dynasty. There will be more legends in the future, either honoring Tianguan as a blessing god or honoring "sending Zhang Xian" with a baby as a blessing god. The local people are very grateful to Yangcheng, so they built a temple to worship, and the image of a good official on earth and a star official in the sky merged, and the evolution of Fuxing entered a new stage.
For the evolution of Fuxing, Taoism has made a brand-new plan, combining the belief in heaven, earth and water with the worship of Fuxing, and finally making the concept of Fuxing-Tiandi bless the people deeply rooted in people's hearts. Some folks say that the legend of Fuxing is a celestial official. Wearing a red official uniform, wearing a jade belt around her waist, holding Ruyi, with a long beard on her face and kind eyes.
Celebrities come from different sources. Some legends are that Tang Hong, an admonition officer in Zhou Youwang, is good at good or bad luck, and became a god after death and became a celestial official; In some places, it is said that Chen Zi, a handsome man in ancient times, married three dragon girls and gave birth to celestial officials, local officials and water officials. However, according to historical records, the ancient emperor Yao created Kaiping World and was named Tianguan after his death, so Tianguan's birthday was on the 15th day of the first month. In ancient times, it was a legend that God blessed the people, and Tianguan was a lucky god.
Nowadays, it is only a formality for people to worship Fuxing on holidays, and more often they type the word "Fu" by hand. In order to get lucky, people hang the word "fu" upside down on festive days, which means that "fu" has fallen and "fu" has arrived.
