Who is the immortal "Yingzhou Jiulao" in Penglai Island? The most carefree, does it have anything to do with Jiu Yao Xing Jun?

Traditional culture holds that "9" is the largest number. Because in the three realms, all the immortals or monsters with "9" in their names are particularly powerful.

For example, the Jade Emperor in the sky, as well as the emperors of the past dynasties in the world, all wore nine crowns, which not only showed the respect and supremacy of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, but also appeared extremely noble.

For example, there are nine days of Xuan Nv among the immortals, and the mount of Taiyi's real person is Sheng Yuan with nine spirits, the Kyubi no Youko fox in the Grinch, and so on. ...

Taoist culture believes that 99 belongs to the original and 99 belongs to one. The Tang Priest and his disciples in The Journey to the West experienced a journey to the West with a total of eighty-one difficulties.

Tang Priest and his disciples had a hard journey. the Monkey King pushed down the ginseng fruit tree in Wuzhuangguan, Wanshou Mountain, and was in a dilemma.

Sun has a bad temper. He didn't resist the abuse of children by the ancestor of the fairy, Zhenyuan Daxian. In a rage, he pushed down this innate spiritual root.

Facing the tough attitude of Daxian in Zhenyuan, the Monkey King ran to Mishima and Shizhou to bring ginseng fruit trees back to life.

The third time, Wukong came to a mysterious and special place-Yingzhou Island.

There are nine handsome and rare old immortals here. Teacher Wu Cheng'en called them "Yingzhou Jiulao" in The Journey to the West. Who are they?

"Yingzhou Jiulao" has hardly appeared in fairy tales. Even in the famous The Journey to the West, the story of Jiu Lao is only a few hundred words.

And Mr. Wu's introduction to Nine Old Immortals is even less.

When the Monkey King met the Nine Immortals, they were enjoying auspicious clouds, drinking, playing chess, laughing and singing, which was very leisurely.

Is Yingzhou Jiu always the "Nine Yao Xing Jun" in Taoist mythology?

Mr. Wu wrote: the imperial edict of Dan is unknown, and the immortal symbol is recorded; Drift freely, scattered and quiet. On Sunday, Jiazi is difficult to control, and the earth is only free.

Old immortals, it can be seen that they belong to the ranks of immortals.

In traditional culture, who are the nine Yao?

According to the data in Yuan Yi Yuan, there are three kinds of sayings about Xing Jun of Jiuyao, which often appear in Taoist culture and myths and legends.

That is, the Big Dipper plus two auxiliary stars, namely: Wolf-greedy, Giant Gate, Lucun, Wen Qu, Lian Zhen, Wu Qu, Pojun, Zuo Fu and Youbi.

And their mother is the famous "Doum" among the immortals, that is, "Doum Yuan Jun".

According to folklore, the nine Yao Xing kings are related to the traditional five-element culture in China, namely, gold (King Jin Yao Xing), wood (King Mu Yao Xing), water (King Shui Yao Xing), fire (King Huo Yao Xing) and earth (King Tu Yao Xing). Plus Sun (He), Taiyin (Wang Shu), and Xing Jun.

In The Journey to the West, when the Monkey King was making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, Wang Li of Tota ordered the Jade Emperor to point soldiers and generals, including nine obsidian stars and twenty-eight stars.

In Yuan Yi Yuan, the names of nine officials surnamed Yao in Niandou Department were also mentioned in the Table of Gods held by Jiang Ziya, namely Chongyingbiao, Gaoping, Han Peng, Li Ji, Wang Feng, Liu Jin, Crown Prince, Peng Jiuyuan and Li Sanyi.

From the above three statements, it can be seen that the nine-obsidian star group is a fairy. Yingzhou Jiulao is the nine happy old immortals on the island, and there is no connection between them.
