Is the old mother of Lishan in Taoist mythology powerful? Who is her apprentice? According to “Taiping Guangji”, Lishan’s mother wrote “Lishan grandma” or “Lishan’s mother”. It is said that fanlihua and baisuzhen once learned from this person. The following is a brief introduction to the relevant content in detail.
According to the legend, Lishan’s mother spanned many times, had extremely powerful magic power, and taught heroic female generals in various times, such as zhongwuyan, the wife of King Xuan of Qi (the Warring States period), fanlihua, the wife of xuedingshan (the Tang Dynasty), Muguiying, the wife of yangzongbao (the Song Dynasty), liujinding, the wife of Gao Junbao (the Song Dynasty), ZhuYingTai (the Eastern Jin Dynasty), baisuzhen, the Millennium white snake (the Song Dynasty), and so on. They were all disciples of Lishan’s mother.
According to the history of the road, “Nuwa was established and governed at the source of Zhonghuang mountain, and continued to thrive in Li”. According to the records of Chang’an annals, “there is a place where Nuwa governed Lishan Mountain, and now the old mother’s Hall of Lishan Mountain is its place”. According to the records of Han Dynasty, the old mother of Lishan was called “the daughter of Lishan” because she lived in Lishan area. “The daughter of Lishan was also the son of heaven, so she thought she was a female immortal and honored her as” the old mother “. Lishan is the mount of my mother to refine stones and mend the sky. It was ordered to melt. There is a spring in the belly and warm soup for people to bathe. It can cure a variety of persistent skin diseases. Therefore, it is called Shentang. It is also my mother’s holy virtue.
Lishan laomu is not only an ancient god worshipped by Taoism in China, but also a folk activity of worshiping laomu for a long time. On the 20th day of the first month of the lunar calendar, the folk made dough cakes to commemorate the great feat of my mother in refining stones and mending the sky. On the 13th day of June, the old mother temple fair in Lishan will last for five days. At that time, tens of thousands of pilgrims and people from all over the country will go to the mountain to worship and sacrifice this ancient god with boundless merits and virtues, which is the source of his virtue.
According to the records in the sacred annals of the gods: Marshal fan, whose common name is fanlihua, was born during the Zhenguan period of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. His father fanhong was the general guarding Hanjiang pass of the Xiliang state (West Turk), and his brothers Fanlong and Fanhu helped guard it. Fan Lihua learned arts from her mother in Lishan when she was young. It took eight years and her Taoist skills were excellent. It not only has the method of moving mountains and seas, but also is equipped with various treasures, such as the immortal sword, the divine whip, the huntian chessboard, the separation cloud symbol and the heaven and earth circle.
When Yicheng came down the mountain, Lishan’s mother told him, “I will marry general xuedingshan of the Tang Dynasty to help with the expedition to the West.” In addition, he said: “you two were the golden boy and the jade girl in front of the Jade Emperor’s God. One day, at the heaven flat peach conference, the golden boy accidentally damaged Qiongyao, and the jade girl also broke the crystal bottle. In the anger of the Jade Emperor’s God, they will be punished. At that time, the Antarctic fairy came forward to report that the golden boy and the jade girl still have a long-standing relationship. He suggested that they be demoted to the mortal world and become a couple to lead the way.”.
When fanlihuabing arrived at Hanjiang pass, he obeyed his master’s orders to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, and tied the knot with xuedingshan to help the Tang Dynasty continue to pacify the West. After xuerengui’s death, he succeeded to enlist the Grand Marshal of Xi’an University, and finally ended up in the peace of the rebellion in Xiliang. Because of his great contribution, he was granted the Marquis of Weining by Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty.
