Who is Tiangong in "Tiangong Makes Beauty"? Is he married to the mother of the earth?
We usually say that the weather is very good, and we often describe it as "the sky is beautiful". Many people also know that "Tiangong" refers to God; for example, farmers rely on heaven for food, and "Heaven" also refers to God. So who is this god? God cares about the rain, is he the Dragon King? Because we saw in the TV series that it was the Dragon King who was responsible for the rain!
However, we sometimes express that the gods do what I want, and we say: "It's really beautiful. After many twists and turns, they finally become married." Does Dragon King still manage the marriage? Isn’t Yuelao that manages the marriage? So who exactly is "Tiangong"?
In fact, the Tiangong in "Tiangong makes beauty" refers to the Jade Emperor. The Jade Emperor is the supreme leader of the Three Realms. In ancient times, agriculture was mainly used, so the power of wind and rain rests with the Jade Emperor. In the ninth chapter of "Journey to the West", "Yuan Shoucheng's wonderful calculation of selflessness, the old dragon king's awkward plan violated Tiantiao" described the Jinghe Dragon King receiving the rain's decree from the Jade Emperor, and said: Lei Qiao: Shi Yuze in the Ming Dynasty, Pu Ji Chang'an City." And in the eighty-seventh chapter, "Fengxian County braves the sky to stop the rain, Sun Dasheng persuades benevolence to cast rain" Sun Wukong saw Fengxian County, years of drought, invited to the East China Sea Dragon King Ao Guang is raining. Lao Long received Sun Dasheng’s mantra and immediately came forward, but said: "Great Master Qishang learned that although I can walk rain, I am a man sent by heaven. If the heaven is not bad, how dare you come here to walk rain without authorization?" Wukong said: "Because I passed this place and saw the suffering of the people in a long drought, especially you came here to give rain and relief, how do you dodge it?" Dragon King said: "How dare to dodge it? But the Great Sage Nian mantra called, I dare not not come. The imperial decree of the heavens was not enshrined, and the two had never brought the god of rain, how did you move the rain department?" From the above two dragon kings, it was learned that the dragon king had to rain. It was arranged by the Jade Emperor and there was no Jade Emperor’s will. Don't rain without permission.
Therefore, Tiangong refers to the Jade Emperor. The Jade Emperor is the lord of the Three Realms. He not only manages the rain, but of course also cares about marriage. Therefore, there is also the saying that "the gods are beautiful, and eventually they will be married".
So who is the "Mother of the Earth" corresponding to "Tian Gong"? Are they married?
Mother Earth refers to Empress Houtu, whose full name is Cheng Tian and imitating virtues and Guangda Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi, is the fourth emperor of the Taoist gods "Four Royals". She palms yin and yang and nurtures all things, so she is called the mother of the earth. .
In mythology, according to legend, Houtu Niangniang was the earliest king of the earth. She later married the Jade Emperor who presided over the Three Realms as a husband and wife, and became the female god who ruled the mountains and rivers of the earth. The belief in Houtu originated from the worship of the land in primitive religion, because the land is an important material basis for people to survive, and people call the earth the "mother of mankind." Therefore, Houtu was regarded as the god of society, and Houtu temple was built among the people.
The queen mother we know in "Journey to the West" is not a husband and wife relationship with the Jade Emperor. The Queen Mother’s husband is the Dong Wang Gong, that is, the Donghua Emperor; the Jade Emperor and Houtu are the husband and wife. Of course, this is just a myth, and there are many versions; it is also said that the Jade Emperor was originally a Taoist figure, and that a Taoist priest did not have a wife. Who do you think is Jade Emperor's wife?
