But what you don't know is that such a lovely hedgehog is a fairy home that people worship. About the end of the Ming Dynasty, I don't know why, so a saying began to spread in the northeast that there were "five immortals" among the people. They are: Hu Jia-Fox Fairy; Huang family-weasel; Liu Jia-snake fairy; Black cranes and white cranes. According to folklore, hedgehog is a traditional mascot for making money, being a miser, avoiding evil spirits and removing filth. In the old society, in order to be blessed, every household had to worship the Five Immortals.
Today, some families in northeast China also offered sacrifices to the white fairy. This kind of white fairy is usually written on paper and then pasted on the wall. Others use wooden boards for ranking. Naturally, some people built the White Temple. The way to worship the white fairy is very simple. You can worship the white fairy sincerely without any ceremony. However, don't neglect when you worship the white fairy. If you eat meat or this steamed bread at home, you must worship the white fairy first. Bai Xian is also one of the immortals who protect the family. For the worship of Bai Xian, the Han people have different opinions. Many people regard it as a mascot to make money and prevent diseases.
However, there is another saying about Bai Xian among Han people. This old lady in white in folklore is the god of hedgehog transformation. This white old lady can cure diseases and is also familiar with witchcraft. There used to be a statue of the old lady Bai in that palace, but with the development of the times, people are more willing to believe in science and pay less and less attention to the theory of the white fairy. As a result, the statue of the old lady Bai was destroyed, and the worship of the white fairy only existed in historical materials and ancient books.
