Chapter 374: The Lucky Star is Coming (Ask for points to push and receive rewards)
Above the mortal realm is the celestial realm.
The celestial realm is the well-known fairy realm.
The political center of the immortal realm is the Heavenly Court, and the Heavenly Court is the so-called Heavenly Palace of the people in the mortal world.
The location of the Heavenly Court is called Haotian City.
Because the Jade Emperor of Heavenly Court is called Zhang Haotian.
Therefore, the location of Heavenly Court has become Haotian City.
In the center of Haotian City, there is a palace called Lingxiao Treasure Palace.
In the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, there is a family of the Jade Emperor.
The back garden of the Lingxiao Treasure Hall is the Pan Tao Garden.
And the peach garden is the place where the queen mother, the wife of the Jade Emperor, held the peach party.
Legend has it that March 3 is the birthday of the Queen Mother of the West, and on the same day, the Queen Mother of the West had a grand event, with peach as the staple food, and invited the immortals, and the immortals rushed to celebrate her birthday. It's called the Peach Society. Peach is a peach food in ancient Chinese myths and legends. Legend has it that March 3 is the birthday of the Queen Mother of the West, and on the same day, the Queen Mother of the West had a grand event, with peach as the staple food, and invited the immortals, and the immortals rushed to celebrate her birthday. Therefore, it is called the Pan Tao Club. The peach meeting is grand and solemn, and the low-level immortals should pay attention to their behavior at the peach meeting, otherwise it is easy to cheat and be severely punished. For example, according to the later authoritative history book of the divine realm, "Journey to the West", the general of the curtain (Monk Sha) was punished to fall into the mortal world simply because he accidentally broke a glass cup (a glazed vessel for holding things, which is actually a lamp) at the Pan Tao Meeting, while Marshal Tianpeng (Zhu Bajie) was punished for sexually harassing the number one courtesan of the Tiangong Palace, Miss Chang'e of the Toad Palace, for drinking and sexually harassing the number one courtesan of the Tiangong Palace, and was reincarnated into the mortal world due to a mistake in operation. Monkey King (Monkey King) was also not qualified to participate in the Pan Tao Society because of his low status, which caused him to be angry and disrupted a Pan Tao Society, and was captured and sentenced to death. Dongfang Shuo, a famous witty writer in the Han Dynasty, also infiltrated the Pan Tao Society, successfully stole peaches, and soared to become a fairy. The Queen Mother lives in Yaochi, so she is also called Yaochi Niangniang. She held a peach victory party in the Yao Pond and feasted all kinds of immortals, but was unexpectedly disturbed by the Monkey King of the Monkey King. The peach she planted is the most magical, the small peach tree is ripe for 3,000 years, and people eat it and keep fit, and become immortals; the general peach tree is ripe for 6,000 years, and people eat it and rise in the day, and live forever; the best is 9,000 years of ripeness, and people eat the same life with heaven and earth, and the same life with the sun and the moon. She is the most revered goddess in the heavenly palace, in charge of banqueting all kinds of immortals in the sky, and in charge of marriage and childbearing in the world.
Of course, Pan Taoyuan is the back garden of the Jade Emperor's house after all.
Therefore, when the Jade Emperor's family has nothing to do, they also like to go to Pan Tao to play.
No, now the Jade Emperor is accompanying the Queen Mother to drink and chat in the peach garden.
The Jade Emperor was accompanying the Queen Mother to drink wine in the peach garden, and the wine was naturally an ordinary wine.
It is the legendary peach wine heavenly incense.
It is said that after drinking the peach wine heavenly incense, the whole body is indescribably comfortable. So much so that Li Bai, a poet among the immortals, wrote a poem, "The peach wine is fragrant in the heavens, and the jade bowl is filled with amber light." But that the master may be drunk, and he will not know where it is. ”
Therefore, the Jade Emperor, who accompanied the Queen Mother to drink in Pan Taoyuan, was in a good mood.
However, at this moment, Fuxing stumbled into the peach orchard.
Fuxing, the god of folklore. Symbolizes a person or thing that can bring happiness and hope to everyone. Fuxing originated very early, it is said that the Tang Dynasty Daozhou dwarf, over the years selected to send the imperial court as a plaything. After Tang Dezong took office, he abolished this case and refused the emperor's request to elect dwarfs. The people of the Song Dynasty were generally worshipped. In the Yuan and Ming dynasties, Yangcheng was also said to be Yang Cheng of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. In the future, there will be more different theories, or respect the heavenly official as the god of fortune, or respect the "son Zhang Xian" who holds the baby in his arms as the god of blessing. The meaning of happiness is very broad, encompassing all the good wishes and goals of worldly life. The so-called "auspicious" of the Chinese mostly refers to blessing; therefore, auspiciousness can also be interpreted as blessing: "Zilin" says: "Zhenxiang also, blessing also." "Feng Jiao Zhan" said: "Fu Xian said auspicious." In this way, Fu is a very important concept in Chinese auspicious culture. According to the Xi'an Zhong Kui Cultural Research Institute Zhong Kui Wang research Wufu refers to "Fulu Shou Xi'an", folk folk patterns are often five bats, Tang blessed the town house saint Zhong Kui, its side is common five bats flying, Zhong Kui is called "lucky star" and "lucky god" by the folk. Jupiter is one of the nine planets of the solar system, and the ancients called it the year star and the lucky star. More than 2,000 years ago, the silk book "Five Stars Divided" unearthed from the Mawangdui Han Tomb has a record of Jupiter. The oldest surviving portrait of a star official is called "Five Stars and Twenty-Eight Residences", which was drawn in the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty 1,300 years ago. The picture depicts the five stars of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, as well as the images of 28 star gods. Fu Xing, who is at the top of the stars, has the appearance of a monster: his head looks like a tiger but not a tiger, a pair of leopard eyes are round, and he sits cross-legged in a simple robe, and he looks like a scholar. His means of transportation was actually a huge wild boar. The author of this portrait, Liang Lingzan, is a famous figure in the history of ancient Chinese astronomical techniques, he was a famous astronomical instrument manufacturer in the Middle and Tang dynasties, and he was also an outstanding figure painter, and he must have depicted the image of a star official recognized by most people at that time. Blessing has many meanings, and the gods of blessing created by people have a variety of priesthoods. As a result, the god of good fortune has acquired the function of being compatible with many auspicious gods, but at the same time, it has also lost its distinctive characteristics, and its image and function have become blurred, so that when people pray for a specific good fortune, they often have to worship the auspicious god who specializes in a certain position, and the god of good fortune only becomes the object of people's worship when the goal of people's prayer is relatively empty. At the beginning of the new year. It is the time to pray for good luck in the coming year, everyone should put the word blessing on the door, although the blessing is a text symbol, but it is a symbol of the god of good fortune in people's minds, including people's prayers for the blessing of the god of good fortune and the arrival of the lucky star. The word blessing is often pasted upside down, taking its homonym "blessing arrived", implying the meaning of blessing God. (To be continued......)
