What exactly is a mandarin duck?

There are many stories about Jigong, and there are many reappearances on TV. For example, when Jigong was in Jingci Temple, in order to build the Hall of Heroes, he used ancient wells to transport a large amount of wood, and there was a story about the renovation of Qin Gui, a lecherous son. Many people are not familiar with the story of Ji Gong ordering Yuanyang, so what about Ji Gong ordering Yuanyang?

Yuanyang in Jigongdian is actually a TV series. Of course, most of the plots are fictional. In this TV series, Ji Gong is played by the famous actor Chen Musheng, while Lin Zicong is the monk Liang Guang. The story goes like this: At that time, there was a doctor named Li Huaichun, who betrothed his daughter Li Qinghe to Hong Chengzong, the son of a rich man, but Li Huaichun was framed by a villain and imprisoned. This Li Huaichun is said to be a great good man. He helped others, and in case of flood, he helped Jigong to treat the people for free. Such a righteous act naturally won the respect of the people and the monks of Lingyin Temple. Ji Gong, Liang Guang and Bi Qing decided to rescue Li Huaichun after learning that the imperial doctor was in trouble. Li Huaichun originally asked her daughter to go to Hong Chengzong's house. I didn't expect Hong Chengzong's parents to be very powerful, and she was driven out of the house for fear that her father's affairs would implicate her.

In desperation, Qinghe tried to throw himself into the river, but was saved by a rich girl, Shang Yun. This Shang Yun married Zheng Wen at an early age, but Wen Jia declined, while her parents were too poor to love rich people and broke off their marriage with Wen Jia. Coincidentally, due to the business contacts between the businessman and the Hong family, their parents decided to let Hong Chengzong marry, but they all disagreed and had to run away from home. In desperation, Jigong came up with an idea to make Qinghe the second lady of the business house and just married Hong Chengzong. Solved the problem that everyone was helpless. From the story, we also see the tragedy of ancient marriage to a certain extent, but more is the wisdom and kindness to help the public to uphold justice and let lovers get married.

The character of Jigong can be said to have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. While we laughed heartily because of his ragged clothes and crazy image, we were also impressed by his spirit of punishing evil and promoting good, saving the world and saving the people. Although most of our impressions of him come from TV plays or movies, the character Ji Gong actually exists, and all the stories we have seen and heard have been handed down through his own changes. So what pictures did Jigong impress you the most?

Most of the most impressive pictures come from these plays. First of all, the Benchang You version of Jigong in the 1990s conquered countless audiences with a set of rags, a broken fan and crazy behavior. Whenever people see pictures of Ji Gong in Benchang You, they will smile again. He undoubtedly animated the image of Jigong, and made every story of Jigong become a topic that people talked about after dinner.

The second impressive picture of Jigong is, of course, Jigong played by king of comedy Stephen Chow. There is no doubt about Stephen Chow's funny style. When he gave this gift to the image of Jigong, people could no longer restrain their facial expressions. Although the story is different from the popular story, perhaps this is where the Stephen Chow version helps the public.

There is also a photo of Jigong, which is still fresh in people's memory. He is probably the most handsome Jigong in history, that is, Jigong played by the famous actor Chen Musheng in Jigong Living Buddha. In the play, he and Lin Zicong cooperated tacitly. Apart from being funny, they both did great good deeds to help people in need and anxious people. Although there are many fictional elements in the plot, the truth contained in it is very profound.

Of course, there are many other versions of Jigong's drawings, and each version has its own success and uniqueness. Here are three typical examples.

What zodiac does Jigong belong to? You must remember the film and television image of Jigong. The name of Jigong lay man is Li Xiuyuan. He was originally an official's son, and became a monk because he saw through the world of mortals at home. He is in rags and crazy all day. Although he is a monk, he never gives up drinking and eating meat. In his words, he is not filling his heart. What he has done has also been praised by the people: treating incurable diseases, helping the poor, punishing evil and promoting good, etc., so people call him "a living Buddha who helps the public." Then the problem is coming. Everyone knows Jigong very well, but do you know what zodiac sign Jigong belongs to? Next, let's take a look at what zodiac Ji Gong belongs to.

Some people may say that if Jigong is reincarnated as a dragon, then Jigong should be a dragon. Although this statement is far-fetched, it is not unreasonable. After all, legends are based on facts. However, we can also scientifically calculate the zodiac sign of Jigong, that is, his specific year of birth.

Of course, there are many fictional elements in film and television, but the character Jigong does exist. He was born in Taizhou, Zhejiang Province in the Southern Song Dynasty. He is both clever and charitable. He likes to save people from suffering and punish those who are rich and heartless. People love him very much and call him Jigong. The place where he became a monk was Lingyin Temple, commonly known as Dao Ji. He likes to travel around all his life and solve problems for many people. His virtue was widely praised by people. According to textual research, Jigong was born in Shaoxing in the 18th year, namely 1 148.

Knowing his birth year, we can figure out what zodiac he belongs to. So what zodiac does Jigong belong to? Looking up the information, we can easily know that AD 1 148 is the Year of the Loong in the lunar calendar, which is the Year of the Loong in the lunar calendar. Therefore, the zodiac to which Jigong belongs is a dragon.

What kind of Buddha is Jigong? People in China don't know about Jigong. He is a very famous living Buddha among the people and is deeply loved by the people. Everyone knows that he is one of the eighteen arhats. However, if you ask Jigong what kind of Buddha he is, there are actually many answers. Next, I will introduce in detail what is Buddha Jigong.

The picture shows the bronze statue of Jigong.

Some people disagree with the view that Gong is a living Buddha, because there is only 16 arhat in India, but there is no 18 arhat at all, and there is no dragon arhat. It can be seen from here that the Dragon Lohan is just an Lohan made up by China people themselves. In this way, Jigong is not even an arhat. Buddha's position is above Lohan's. If he is not even Lohan, Jigong is not a Buddha.

It doesn't matter what kind of Buddha Jigong is, what matters is what future generations think of him. Judging from the merits he left to future generations, he is a living Buddha in the eyes of the world. How many people can do this through the ages? Tiantai Mountain, his birthplace, has reached the realm of Buddha according to the sixth rank of the throne. What is Buddha? Buddha is everywhere. Buddha always thinks of the public. If you have sentient beings in your heart, then you are also a Buddha. After all, Buddha came from nirvana.

Jigong was born in a Buddhist family. His father had no children when he was very old, and finally he had Jigong when he was nearly 50 years old. Ji Gong was born in an extraordinary family, and imperial academy of Tiantai Mountain presided over his marriage. He has a deep relationship with Buddhism and is influenced by people around him. He was very interested in Buddhism since he was a child. His knowledge is also very high, and he is familiar with Confucianism and Taoism. His perverse behavior after becoming a monk has a lot to do with his sudden insight into the world.
