Anqiu fortune teller

1986, The Journey to the West, one of the four classical novels, was broadcast on CCTV. Once broadcast, it was deserted, and it is still one of the popular TV series in summer. Among them, the episode "Girl Country" left a deep impression on the audience. Although the part of the daughter country was only a robbery in the resurrection of Tang Priest in 1999, the scorpion essence was eventually killed by the Pleiades officials, and the daughter country finally changed the customs clearance documents for Tang Priest's master and apprentice and let them go west. This story left a deep impression on us, especially the infatuation, kindness and gentleness of the king of the daughter country played by Zhu Lin, which people will never forget.

However, when 1986 was broadcast in The Journey to the West, a so-called "Queen of the Great Sage" appeared in Shandong. What happened?

It turned out that there was a peasant woman named Chao, whose real name was Chao Yuhua, who was from Anqiu, Shandong. She also proclaimed herself emperor in Weifang in 1986, and established the "Great Sage King Dynasty". I don't know if this word has anything to do with the popular TV series The Journey to the West at that time, but some people think it is the "Great Sage Emperor" imitating Wu Zetian. She also announced that 1986 was the so-called "Year of Zheng Kunyuan".

In fact, she is a rural witch. She usually makes money by walking around telling fortune, but she attracts a group of believers and even her family supports her. Her "dragon robe" was embroidered by her second sister.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, many rural wizards deceived villagers by deception, trying to satisfy their dream of "princes", which is much more serious than cheating and eating and drinking. But as an ordinary rural woman like her, she dares to "claim the throne" by herself, which can be said to be unique.

The same is true of Chao, who is neither "Sun" nor "Wu". She deceived ignorant believers in the countryside and even set up her own "harem" in the village.

1988, this so-called "Great Sage King Dynasty" was heard by the defense team because the "minister" kept his mouth shut, and was quickly eliminated.
