Who is the reincarnation of He Xiangu?

He Xiangu was the daughter of He Tai in Zengcheng, Guangzhou in the Tang Dynasty. According to legend, in 14 or 15, God taught people to eat mica powder, but they died when it was light. Jinglong skyrocketed during the day. The world calls He Xiangu, and customs are one of the Eight Immortals.

Taoist classics

In addition to being recorded by laymen, there are also some clues in Taoist classics: for example, Lu Zuzhi said that Lv Dongbin was Zhao Xiangu, and because she was holding a lotus flower, her surname was homophonic. Doop source figure thinks that He Xiangu is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Xu. In this way, even the gender of "nun 1" has become a problem. However, the plays of the Eight Immortals in Yuan Dynasty often have "Xu Shen Weng" but no "He Xiangu", which is well-founded. However, in Lu Zhenren's "Jiangzhou Wangjiang Pavilion" quoted in "Ancient and Modern Books Integration", there is a statement that "He Xiangu Guo's self-realization is on the stove". How can I explain it? As a result, even Taoist views on He Xiangu are quite different. Rich and controversial information has made ancient and modern scholars rack their brains to find out the truth about "He Xiangu". As mentioned above, Xiangu is considered as a girl in Guangzhou, and Xiangu is considered as a "declining girl" in Yongzhou (or Hengzhou). During the Tang and Song Dynasties, people in Lingnan and Hunan became entangled, so some people thought that He Xiangu, the Eight Immortals, was a mixture of these two images, and the former was his life story, while the latter was his Lv Dongbin disciple. However, this view has not been unanimously recognized by the academic circles.

Biography

He Xiangu was born in Lanling (now Changzhou, Jiangsu). According to legend, in 14 or 15, God taught people to eat mica powder, but they died when it was light. Jinglong skyrocketed during the day. The world calls He Xiangu, and customs are one of the Eight Immortals. About her hometown, in addition to Zengcheng, Guangdong, there are many sayings such as Guangxi, Fujian, Zhejiang, Anhui and Hunan. Opinions vary, probably because there is no such person in history.

Fairy Wonderland says: He Xiangu is a daughter named He Tai from Zengcheng, Guangzhou. I was born with six hairs on my head. At the age of sixteen, he dreamed that a fairy taught him: "Eating mica powder can strengthen your body and live forever." So she listened to the fairy's instructions, ate mica, vowed not to marry, and often traveled to and from the valley, hiking like flying. Go out every morning and bring some wild fruits back to her mother at night. After gradually not eating whole grains, Wu Zetian sent envoys to call her into the palace and suddenly disappeared on her way to Beijing. After that, the immortal was born during the day. In the ninth year of Tang Tianbao, he appeared in Magu altar, standing in five clouds, and then appeared in Xiaoshilou, Guangzhou.

Song Zengmin's "Awakening Alone" magazine records: "Di Qing passed Yongzhou when he fought for Nannong in his early years. He heard that He Xiangu could predict good and bad luck, so he specially asked about the outcome of the war. He Xiangu said: "You don't have to see a thief. A thief will leave after defeat." Di Qing didn't believe it at first. Later, Song Jun Pioneer fought against the soldiers of Nannong Gaozhi, but there was no chance. Gaozhi was defeated and fled to Dali.

He Xiangu often holds a lotus flower.

Anyone who knows a little about China's traditional culture will be familiar with the term "Eight Immortals". The so-called "Eight Immortals" refer to the Eight Immortals, namely Han Zhongli, Zhang, Cao Guojiu, Lv Dongbin, Han Xiangzi, Lan Caihe and He Xiangu. They are all mortals, and they practice hard to become immortals. The Eight Immortals have a unique woman, that is, He Xiangu. She is like a little red flower among the Eight Immortals, which makes her particularly eye-catching.

He Xiangu, formerly known as He Qiong, was born in an ordinary peasant family in Lingling in the first year of Yao Kai, Tang Gaozong. The locals said that on the day when He Qiong was born, a bright and auspicious purple airflow enveloped He's cabin, and a group of cranes danced up and down in the purple airflow. In a short time, a strong sika deer rushed into He's house with a girl with pigtails and a red Chinese-style chest covering. At this time, he gave birth to a chubby baby girl.

Speaking of He Qiong's hometown Lingling, it is a beautiful place. According to Historical Records, "Shun was buried in Jiuqi in the south of the Yangtze River as Lingling." Saint Shun Di was buried in Kyubi no Youko Mountain, Lingling. Lingling city is located at the intersection of Xiaoxiang, with Nanyue Hengshan Mountain in the north and Wuling Mountain in the south. It is the gateway of Chu and Yue. There is a mica mountain in the west of Lingling county, which is rich in five-color mica, which is a good medicine for seeking immortality in ancient times; A clear and winding stream flows down from the mountain, called mica stream, and He Qiong's home is next to the beautiful mica stream.

He Qiong, who grew up drinking mica water, grew up beautiful and witty. Since she was a child, she likes to play and wander by mica creek alone. At the age of fourteen, she met a white-haired old man with a long beard by the mica stream. The old man asked her some local scenery, and He Qiong answered them wisely. The old man is very happy. He took out a fresh flat peach from his backpack and handed it to He Qiong. He Qiong took it, thanked the old man, and then ate the flat peach three times five divided by two. The old man watched her finish eating, smiled and nodded, turned around and disappeared. After returning home, He Qiong hasn't felt hungry for several days. He doesn't want to eat, but his spirit is stronger than before. A month later, He Qiong met Ling next to Mica Creek. This time, the old man took her to Muyun Mountain and taught her how to collect mica and how to take it. He Qiong, according to his words, eats mica on mica mountain every day, and gradually feels as light as a swan, traveling to and from the top of the mountain and walking like a fly. Besides, she can identify and pick all kinds of herbs in the mountains, treat all kinds of diseases for people nearby and predict personnel, so people around her call her "He Xiangu".
