Yinjiao and Yang Rentong were named Tai Sui gods by Yuan Shizu. What is the difference?

Tai sui god dominates the good and bad luck of the human year, so people often pay special respect and attention to Tai sui god.

If we subdivide these 60 Jiazi gods, we will find that every year, the corresponding Tai Sui gods can find their anecdotes in history or folklore.

So, how did these traditional gods come from?

"Yuan Yi Yuan" noticed that in China's mythological masterpiece "Romance of Gods", when Jiang Ziya sealed 365 true gods on the altar, Yin Jiao and Yang Ren were listed as "traditional gods".

Readers who have read the Directory of Gods are more familiar with Yin Jiao and Yin Hong.

These two brothers are the biological sons of Shang Dynasty, and their mother is the ginger queen who was framed, gouged out her eyes and burned her hands by da ji.

Tiger poison doesn't eat children. However, after the death of Empress Jiang, Yin still spared his two sons and ordered a national arrest.

Yinjiao escaped and was saved by Guang, a disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun. After studying as a teacher, Yin Jiao studied in Taoyuan Cave of Jiuxian Mountain for several years.

After the attack of King Wu, Yin Jiao was ordered by Master Hiroko to go down the mountain with the magic weapons of Zhenshan, Tianyin, and the sword of male and female.

Unexpectedly, Yin Jiao, at Shen's instigation, broke the original oath and Master's orders, abandoned Zhou Zhuzhou, and finally suffered from farming.

On the other hand, Yang Ren was a loyal minister and doctor of Shang Dynasty. Thanks to his advice, Zhou Wang gouged out his eyes when he was wasting money to build Lutai in Zhou Wang.

Yang Ren's integrity and loyalty touched him, and the pure morality of Qingfeng Cave is a real gentleman.

The real virtuous gentleman is also a disciple of Jin Xian in the beginning of Heaven 12.

"Yuan Yi Yuan" saw that in order to save Yang Ren's life and let him see the light again, the real moral gentleman put two elixirs into Yang Ren's eyes and miraculously grew two hands from his eyes.

"There are eyes in your hand, eyes in your hand, and hand-eye prices are sky-high!" It can be seen that Yang Ren's eyes endowed by a true moral gentleman are extraordinary.

Yang Ren's eyes can look up at heaven, look down at hell and see all kinds of human beings. ...

Relying on his own eyes and the magic weapons such as flying guns and shenhuo fans given by Master, Yang Ren also played an important role in the Shang and Zhou Wars. It's a pity that Yang Ren was killed by Justin in the battle with the Seven Monsters of Meishan.

After the death of Yin Jiao and Yang Ren, they were both appointed as traditional gods, but their positions were still different. Today, "the source is changeable" to talk about:

First, Yin Jiao was named the god of traditional life.

In the Romance of Gods, Jiang Ziya named Yin Jiao as the "Old King".

In China's Chinese characters, "knowledge" means mastery and execution, just like "value".

After watching Four Great Classical Novels and Journey to the West, you will see that among the immortals who protect Tang Priest's scriptures, there are Liu Ding, Liu Jia and Wu Fang, and there are also four-valued meritorious deeds and protector Galand.

Among them, "four-value merit" is the merit of year, month, day and time.

In the prime of life, Yin Jiao was in charge of the anniversary and the good and bad luck of that year.

In Taoist culture, people who are too old are given a high status and called "the son of heaven in the middle of the year".

In other words, Tai Sui is not only the leader of the gods in a year, but also the most powerful god in a year.

Secondly, it is the first god in Jia's traditional life.

"Jia Yi ugly gold in the sea, Bing Yin Ding Maohuo in the furnace, Chen Wuyou big forest, Gengwu Weixin roadside soil, Ren Shen Gui You Jianfeng gold ..."

In the Book of Changes, a traditional culture in China, the 60th year of Jiazi is called "Jiazi Year", and so on.

Yang Ren was named the first god in the traditional life of Jiazi, which also showed his lofty position among the traditional gods.

Yuan Yi Yuan also noted that Yang Ren was not only the first god of Jiazi, but also entrusted with another responsibility-concurrently serving as the sun god.

Under his command, there are sun-wandering gods, night-wandering gods, blessing-increasing gods, blessing-destroying gods, learning to hate tigers, and showing the truth that one side is equal to the stars, which unites the good and evil of heaven and earth.

Therefore, both Yin Jiao and Yang Ren participated in or sent people to protect Tang Priest's scriptures.

Three, Yin Jiao and Yang Ren are the deputy leaders of the traditional department.

In previous articles, "Yuan Yi Yuan" once analyzed the eight heavenly ways in myths and legends.

In addition to the Lei Department under Wen Zhong's command, there are seven departments, including Water Department, Fire Department, Doubu, Culture Department, Finance Department, Tai Sui Department, and Pox Department.

Because in the traditional era, the value of 60 Jiazi was all under the jurisdiction of the old king, and Yang Ren * * * circulated among the stars year after year, and was also responsible for picketing and recording the good and evil in heaven or on earth.

Judging from the positions that Jiang Ziya sealed for Yin Jiao and Yang Ren, the level of Yin Jiao and Wen Zhong should be regarded as the full-time leaders of the Eight Departments of Heaven;

On the other hand, Yang Ren is equivalent to the deputy of the traditional Ministry of Heaven and concurrently serves as the supervision department.
