Section 210 Queen Mother of the West

Everyone rushed forward non-stop, chatting idly. Zeng Lu said with relish: "I heard that there is still the Queen Mother of the West living in Yaochi in Tianshan Mountain, and I don't know if it is true or false? Can you see the true face?" These ancient people are feudal superstitions, and they believe in any gods, ghosts, etc., which is simply ridiculous for us atheists, but seeing that they are attentive and enthusiastic, we still can't say more, teamwork is still the most important, so as not to let people have a lot of opinions about us.

Hu Jiaojiao said curiously: "How do you know that it is Yaochi and not somewhere else?"

Zeng Lu said disapprovingly: "This is simple, it was recorded in the classic book "Liezi Zhou Mu Wang" in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period that he was in the Queen Mother of the West and was on the Yao Pond. The Queen Mother of the West is the king's ballad, and the king is in harmony, and her words are mournful. It is the place where the sun is watched. Thousands of miles in one day. It means that the place of residence of the Queen Mother of the West is Yaochi. It is the Heavenly Court Beppu where the Queen Mother rests, named - Don't have a cave, this is also where the Yao Pond is located. Above the Nayao Pond stands a sharp and drooping giant breast, named Lingyun stalactites, with magnificent colors, and the pool below is as calm as a mirror. Lingyun stalactites absorb the essence of heaven and earth, and it takes a hundred years to condense a drop of holy water. The holy water has been filtered for a hundred years, pure and flawless, and the water of Yao Chi has been refined by holy water, which is clean into clouds, widely spread between heaven and earth, and becomes the boundary of heaven and earth. It is also regarded as a heavy heaven. When we go there, we must first remember to drink holy water, divine water, which can bless us with no disease and no disaster, and live a long life. ”

Wang Gongzi is familiar with allusions, erudite and knowledgeable, and he also said with enthusiasm: "Yes, there has always been a legend, I heard that more than 3,000 years ago, the son of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Mu Wang Jiman, once sat on eight horses that traveled 30,000 miles a day, set off from the capital, traveled thousands of miles, along the Tianshan Mountains to Yaochi to meet the leader of the Western Regions Tribal Alliance, the Queen Mother of the West. When King Zhou Mu and his guards arrived, the Queen Mother of the Western Dynasty, dressed up, stood on the edge of the Yao Pond and greeted the distinguished guests from afar with the most solemn tribal etiquette. Yao Chi is like a mirror, the green grass is like a tree, and people "blow the sheng drum spring, and the center soars". King Zhou Mu brought a large number of silk fabrics and precious gifts such as gui and bi to the Queen Mother of the West, and the host brought out a variety of sumptuous Western dishes, special milk wine and wine to entertain him. The vast Shenchi of Yaochi, such as the strange scenery of the heavenly mirror floating in the air, made King Zhou Mu fascinated and forgot to return. However, the happy days are always very short, King Zhou Mu has to return to the east, and the Queen Mother of the West held a grand farewell banquet. At the banquet, the solemn and healthy Queen Mother of the West left the table to dance, and sang in a tactful voice like flowing water: The white clouds are in the sky, and the mountains come out of themselves. The road is far away, between the mountains and rivers, the general is not dead, and he can still come back

King Mu of Zhou solemnly raised the wine, and sang on the spot: to return to the east of the land, and negotiate with the summer, the people are equal, I take care of you, compared to three years, will be back to the wild. After a three-year appointment, the Queen Mother of the West and King Zhou Mu reluctantly parted to each other. Before leaving, King Zhou Mu also planted a locust tree with his own hands and set up a stone tablet, which was engraved with five big characters of "Mountain of the West Queen Mother". It's a pity that King Zhou Mu was not able to come to meet the Queen Mother of the West at the end of the period, leaving only these two good verses that have been praised through the ages, giving people infinite flaws.

Xiao Fei also began to gush: "By the way, I have read the ancient book, the fourth year of the Han Emperor Jianping, three years before the birth of the Jesus of Nazareth, just as the Jews longed for the birth of the Messianic Messiah, the Chinese also rose up to worship the Queen Mother of the West. This year, there was a severe drought, and the people who depended on the weather for food lost their livelihoods and were forced to live in other places. And in the process of their escape from the famine, the belief in the Queen Mother of the West rose like a prairie fire, people held a straw or a wooden stick, passed to each other, claiming that this was the edict of the Queen Mother of the West, that is, the meaning of clearing the way for the Queen Mother of the West, they ran towards the west, the poor wore hair and bare feet, the rich rode and drove, and when they met the wall, they broke through the wall, and they also broke into the city. So a vast group of people who continued to expand along the road, traveled through thirty-six counties, and finally arrived at the capital Chang'an, where they gathered in Lifang Lane Mo, set up the Bo Bureau, which was a board game in the Han Dynasty, and the Bo Bureau had the word TLV on the plate, and used song and dance to worship the Queen Mother of the West. And they passed on the talisman of the Queen Mother of the West, and said that the Queen Mother of the West told everyone that the person who wore this talisman would not die. Don't believe me, look at your gray hair in the door! And the worship of the Queen Mother of the West is not only popular among the people, even the official is cautious, in a record of the Western Han Dynasty system of the "Old Han Yi" recorded that the county prince and the county order level officials at that time had to worship the Queen Mother of the West. The divine power of the Queen Mother of the West has also been greatly admired, and Cui Zheng's "Yi Lin" on the occasion of the Two Han Dynasty said: In the west of the weak water, there is the Queen Mother of the West, who is born without knowing old age, and protects with the sky.

The queen mother is blessed, the heavens are ambushed, the favor of the dwelling is light, the gentleman has prosperity and trouble, and the queen mother is in harmony. Come with joy and make me dwell in peace. It can be seen that the Queen Mother of the West is an immortal god who saves suffering and blesses Shirui. And because Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was also very interested in the Queen Mother of the West, and he sent people to the West, later people also arranged Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty into the story of meeting the Queen Mother of the West. The "Inner Biography of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty" compiled by the Wei and Jin Dynasty is about the arrival of the Queen Mother of the West and the meeting with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The peach of the West Queen Mother also appeared, and it was also given to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to eat four. This encounter is full of supernatural ambiguity. “

Hu Jiaojiao said curiously: "By the way, you have been talking endlessly for a long time, so what does this famous and well-known Queen Mother of the West look like?"

After thinking about it, Wang Gongzi said disapprovingly: "We don't know, because it's hard to say if you study it deeply, but in ancient Chinese myths and legends, Our Lady of Yaochi is also known as the Golden Mother, the Queen Mother of the West, in the hearts of the Chinese, the image of Our Lady is graceful and luxurious, a benevolent goddess with transcendent status, immortal dwelling in the holy realm of Yaochi in the Tianshan Mountains, and the territory is planted with three thousand years of flowering, three thousand years of fruiting "Queen Mother Peach", food immortality, in the Chinese ancient book "The Inner Biography of Emperor Wu of Han" In the "Biography of Mu Tianzi", it is recorded that the Lady of God is elegant and gentle, and invited King Mu of Zhou to have a banquet in Yaochi, which shows that the Queen Mother of the West has a noble identity, and lives in the far west (heaven), is a versatile beauty, and can also talk and laugh with the emperor of the world, so as to leave a rhyme in the world. However, in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", it is recorded that the Lady of Yaochi is like a human, with a leopard tail and tiger teeth, a roaring sound that shakes the sky, and her long hair flies, bearing the mandate of heaven, presiding over the punishment of the world, and being responsible for spreading plague viruses and disasters. And in the West Queen Mother in the Han portrait stone, the snake-tailed people on both sides are Fuxi and Nuwa. A large number of portrait stones here are all themed on the Queen Mother of the West, and they are in a high position, obviously high, even the familiar Fuxi who paints gossip and Nuwa, who created people, can only be like a golden boy and a jade girl, waiting on both sides. ”

Hu Jiaojiao stuck out her tongue in surprise, and said in horror: "The Queen Mother of the West described in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" is really shocking.

Oh my God, what kind of Queen Mother of the West, with a leopard's tail and a tiger's teeth, lives in a cave, and howls a lot. Oh, Blue Amitabha, is this also the Queen Mother of the West, the image of this original Queen Mother of the West is really scared to death of the baby. This Queen Mother of the West is really a thousand-armed Guanyin-like character, the monster Queen Mother of the West, the savior Queen Mother of the West, the beautiful Queen Mother of the West, what a fickle face, I can't help but think of Jolin Tsai's song "Look at Me Seventy-two Changes" , The image of the Queen Mother of the West is also ever-changing, but whether she is a bloody and terrible sorcerer, or a beautiful and graceful queen, or a Bodhisattva who saves suffering, it doesn't matter, because the Queen Mother of the West itself is such a complex and contradictory existence, it is an unreal product of people's imagination, where is there any real immortal, but the authorities of the feudal society want to deceive people, so as to better rule the people, so as to maintain their feudal rule, but these ancient people thousands of years ago are still so ignorant and ignorant, believe in the truth, we atheists are naturally extraordinary, and will not be blinded by these legends of godsSuddenly, the sense of superiority of our modern people jumped out.
