Are there four immortals in Northeast China?

There are five immortals in the northeast.

I. Hu (Fox)

Fox fairy, commonly known as Daxian, has high mana and can be transformed into human form. In the works of the Warring States period, a kind of god beast based on the fox appeared and was endowed with special abilities. "Lv Chunqiu" records that Dayu was unmarried at the age of 30 and met a nine-tailed white fox when passing through Tu Shan. The people there sang, "Great White Fox, Mayor Kyubi no Youko, I wish you an early marriage. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Wu Yue Chun Qiu recorded the legend that Dayu married a white fox with nine tails.

Legend has it that the fox is a progressive animal. In ancient times, it was unwilling to be killed, so it began to look for its own strong way. It is said that he was guided to find a place to practice in contact with the outside world, and he could stand loneliness and will. After constant tempering, it has become a positive result. After thousands of full moon nights, the inner Dan of tuna absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon and became a fairy.

Second, the willow (snake)

Liu Xian is regarded as the incarnation of the dragon, and the snake in the zodiac is regarded as the little dragon. Its peculiar shape can sleep the hidden changes of molting, and its peculiar behavior is even more powerful, with the magical power of eating food thousands of miles away. I believe everyone has heard of the legend of White Snake, which is remarkable and admirable.

Third, white (hedgehog)

Since a group of white immortals founded Bai Xian Tai Nai, they have been good at treating all kinds of real diseases for generations, seeking medical advice, saving lives, treating diseases and helping the poor.

Fourth, yellow (weasel)

Huang Xian, who is called "Uncle Huang Er" by the people, is worshipped for two reasons: first, he has a beautiful figure and a cheerful personality; second, he affects people's spiritual world, making people feel mysterious and difficult to advance between being eaten and making leather goods.

5. Gray (mouse)

Grey Fairy belongs to one of the Five Immortals, which stems from the spiritual thinking of all things. It is said that the grey fairy can predict the future, calculate divination and make people rich. As a passing god of wealth, people are best at changing fate, moving mountains and seas, and divination is the true meaning of secrets. (Bian Xiao really didn't expect that the mouse that everyone shouted was actually a fairy family ... How many fairy families have I killed? )

Extended data:

From the perspective of cultural attributes and social significance, it should be regarded as a folk religion. This kind of folk religion exists in the life of the Han people, based on secular morality, and integrates Buddhism, Taoism, Shamanism and other religious cultures in composition. The four faiths only pay attention to the secular life of this world, and adopt the universally recognized reincarnation statement for the afterlife and other issues, which is a simplified statement of Buddhist teachings. ?

There is a saying that "China people never believe", but the people at the bottom of China have been building their own national and religious beliefs. Compared with the real religion, this belief is of course incomplete, but it also has similar social functions, blending with Confucian etiquette in the superstructure, influencing and regulating social life and achieving spiritual balance. If we simply deny the existence of folk religion in China, we will not understand China society and the people of China.
