What kind of fairy is grandma Taishan?

Grandma Taishan is a Taoist fairy whose full name is Bi Xia Yuan Jun, and she is a fairy of Mount Taishan in Dongyue.

In the immortal pedigree of Taoism, she belongs to a secular god. And Wenchang Dijun, Nezha, God of Wealth, Flower God, King of Medicine and Wong Tai Sin belong to the same case. Bi Xia Yuan Jun is not only called Grandma Taishan, but also Queen Taishan and Mother Taishan.

At first, the Yellow Emperor wanted to build Daiyue Temple in Taishan, so he sent seven women, including Dai He, to meet him in Taishan. Among these seven women, one later became an immortal, that is, grandma Taishan. In the Han Dynasty, legends about various goddess emerged one after another. The legend of the goddess of Mount Tai not only became popular in the Han Dynasty, but also carved statues for the goddess of Mount Tai and built a jade girl pool on the top of Mount Tai to worship the goddess of Mount Tai.

The role of grandma Taishan

Legend has it that Bi Xia Yuan Jun proved to be too mysterious. She is a magical fairy, who can not only bless farming, business, travel, marriage, cure diseases and save lives, but also provide protection for women in the process of production. Therefore, people also worship Bi Xia Yuan Jun, the mother of Mount Tai, as a god to protect women's production.

In the Qing Dynasty, there was an easy-to-understand "Taishan Baojuan" which was widely circulated among the people. "Taishan Baojuan" records a lot of magical traces about Taishan's mother. Emperors of all ages worshipped Mount Tai, and Emperor Dongyue was the main god of Mount Tai, and his position in Taoism was extremely high, but it was like this at that time. Mother Taishan has a good life, good food and strong fragrance. She is the closest, most powerful and most effective god that ordinary people feel.
