A fairy who even turned to the Monkey King for help! Who is Peach Blossom Girl?

When Tao Yuanming read Shan Hai Jing, he lamented that Kuafu wrote poems:

"Kuafu's birthday, but with the day, all to Xiuzhuang, if there is no outcome. Wonderful power, how can you fall into the river? I sent the trace to Deng Lin, and I am behind me. "

When it comes to chasing Sun, they all went to Yugu, Sun's hometown. It should be a draw. In particular, he said that Kuafu's "work is over" made many people have a * * * voice later, and they were forced to fail by the times, but that spirit can inspire people to forge ahead.

In particular, Kuafu's crutch became Taolin (Deng Lin), and later it was completely the embodiment of masculinity and justice, and it was an essential tool for Taoist ghosts.

There is a big peach tree in Shan Hai Jing: "There is a mountain in the sea with a crescent moon and a big peach tree on the mountain. It bends three thousand miles, and the northeast of its branch is called the gate of hell, where all ghosts come in and out. There are two gods in the world, one is the tea god, and the other is Lei Yu, who read and lead all ghosts. Evil spirits eat tigers with reeds. "

Later, a personified goddess appeared: Peach Blossom Girl.

The Monkey King, a Journey to the West, put the Yin Jiao Wang in a gourd, deliberately scaring ghosts, and read four names in one breath: "King Zhouyi, Confucius Saint, Lady Peach Blossom, and Mr. Guiguzi."

This Miss Peach Blossom is the female image of Peach Blossom in the world. In the Monkey King's mouth, she can be on an equal footing with Zhou Wenwang, Confucius and Guiguzi, which shows her high status at that time.

In the story of Yuan Zaju, Peach Blossom Girl is very capable. She and Duke Zhou are both disciples of Zhenwu Emperor. They were originally a knife used by Zhenwu Emperor in his practice. When Emperor Zhenwu was practicing Buddhism, he used this knife to cut open his abdomen and clean his intestines. The sword and scabbard were stained with the blood of Zhenwu Emperor, so he felt the aura of heaven and earth and cultivated human form respectively. The knife became a man, and the scabbard became a woman.

Later, the queen mother called the scabbard to heaven to guard the flat peach garden and became a peach blossom girl; Knife gave birth to princes of Shang Dynasty and became Duke of Zhou. At this time, the peach blossom girl also descended on people. Duke Zhou is a psychic, saying that Peng Zu will die one day. The peach blossom girl taught Peng Zu the method of enlightenment, which won him a long life. Duke Zhou decided to marry the peach blossom girl, but in fact he secretly wanted to meet the peach blossom girl. After some fighting, the peach blossom girl won a great victory, and finally Zhenwu Emperor came out to take them back to heaven.

In the story, the core monument of life, Peach Blossom Girl, is a peach tree, protected by a sacred tree. The Duke of Zhou is naturally no match, and the power of peaches can be seen.

This is in the secular world, in the world, peach trees are also rising all the way.

In Historical Records, Sima Qian described Li Guang, a loyal and simple flying general, with four words: "Don't talk about peaches and plums, go your own way". Tai Shigong said three things:

A Li Guang surname has taken up a Li word, which is described very aptly;

Second, it is in line with Li Guang's style of "the body can't do it";

Three peaches and plums are synonymous with outstanding talents. Although Li Guang is unlucky, his talent as a general is well known.

This method of comparing people with trees was not initiated by Sima Qian, but existed as early as the Spring and Autumn Period. When Guan Zhong was governing Qi, he suggested that the monarch should attach importance to education: "A year's plan is nothing more than a tree valley; The ten-year plan is nothing more than a tree; A lifelong plan is nothing more than a tree. "It is short-term investment in planting crops and trees, long-term investment, and then education.

The slogan of a century-old plan that is common at the school gate now also comes from this. Later, useful people were called pillars, and trees were completely used to refer to people.

But not all trees can be pillars.

There is such a story in the biography of Korean poetry. During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a minister named Zi Zhi in the State of Wei who recommended many people to be officials. Later, he fell out of favor with the monarch, and the people he recommended did not help him, but fell into trouble.

The seed of "Everyone Knocks Down the Wall" complained to a friend. A friend said, "If you plant peaches and plums in spring, you will enjoy the cool in summer and eat fruit in autumn, but if you plant tribulus, you will be stabbed instead of eating fruit in the cool."

It seems that planting trees still requires planting peaches and plums, and peaches and plums have become synonymous with describing outstanding talents. In the Tang Dynasty, Di was always good at knowing people and promoted many promising cadres. When Zi Tongzhi saw him, he said, "All the peaches and plums in the world are in the public gate."

Bai Juyi kowtowed to the Prime Minister Ling Huchu. "Your husband is full of peaches and plums, so why should he plant a variety of flowers in front of the hall?" You planted all the flowers in the world, so there's no need to plant flowers.
