Who is the originator of the pastry industry?

Ci Hai records: "Lv Dongbin, a Taoist at the end of the Tang Dynasty, was a scholar in both places. He lived in seclusion in Zhong Nanshan and other places, and the Taoist Quanzhen Road was honored as one of the five ancestors in the north, also known as one of the eight immortals of Taoism. " According to legend, Lv Dongbin once had his hair cut. In the past, most folk barbershops took Lv Dongbin as their ancestor.

Industry ancestor worship is a branch of folk culture. In the past, all walks of life attached great importance to it and regarded it as the patron saint of this industry. There is a folk saying that "three hundred and sixty lines, no ancestors can stand." Grandfathers are very prestigious people, who directly or indirectly created and supported this industry. Some people became ancestors by accident, others were forcibly installed by later generations, and some industries used a founder, such as pawnshop, fortune telling, candle industry, sericulture industry, silk weaving industry and pastry industry, all of which took Guan Yu as their founder. Some people have several grandfathers in the same industry, such as Guan Zhong, Chi You, Zhang Fei, Yan Di and Lu Ban in the salt industry.

There are several interesting grandfathers in the old business of old Beijing.

Zhu Yuanzhang, the originator of sour plum soup industry

Reason for taking office: inventor

In old Beijing, people who sell sour plum soup worship Zhu Yuanzhang as their ancestor. The reason is that sour plum soup was invented by Zhu Yuanzhang.

At the end of Yuan Dynasty, a plague occurred in Jingxiang, Hubei Province. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang made a living by selling ebony. When it was sold to Xiangyang, it coincided with the epidemic of plague, and Zhu Yuanzhang himself was infected and fell ill in the hotel. Zhu Yuanzhang went to the hotel warehouse to get ebony, and when he smelled the sour gas of ebony, he suddenly cheered. Then Zhu Yuanzhang cooked some dark plum juice to drink, and the disease was actually cured. Zhu Yuanzhang knew that dark plum juice could cure diseases, so it spread widely and became rich quickly, laying the foundation for fighting Yuan in the future.

During the Republic of China, Zhu Yuanzhang's portrait can be seen in many small shops specializing in selling sour plum soup and offered regularly.

The ancestor of the construction industry-Luban

Reason for taking office: business expert

Beijing is the imperial capital, and there are various projects, large and small, every day. There are many people engaged in the construction industry in Beijing. The originator of the construction industry is Lu Ban.

Lu Ban, surnamed Gong Bo, was a native of Lu in the Spring and Autumn Period. According to legend, he once invented ladders, axes, shovels, planers and so on. Bricklayers, masons, carpenters, masons and oilers all worship Lu Ban as their ancestors. It is said that many famous buildings, such as the turret of the Forbidden City and the promenade of the Summer Palace, were built by craftsmen descended from Lu Ban.

There are many buildings in old Beijing to commemorate Lu Ban, such as Lu Ban An in Guangqumen, Lu Ban Dian in Beijing Jingzhong Temple and Dongyue Temple. There is also a Gongbo Temple outside Zhengyangmen, also known as Luban Pavilion, dedicated to Luban, which is the ancestral temple of Beijing's construction industry.

Nezha, the originator of tapestry industry.

Reason for taking office: I have smoked dragon muscle.

Tapestry products are mainly ribbons or ropes used for clothes and appliances, which were the necessities of gentry or businessmen in Beijing at that time, so the industry has been thriving, and there are all kinds of shops everywhere in Beijing. The granddaddy of this industry is a famous mythical figure-Nezha. Because "The List of Gods" said that the third prince of the Dragon King came to catch Nezha, and was caught by Nezha, who took off his tendon and made a one-stop tendon sash for his father. Tapestry people regard the dragon tapestry as a tapestry, and regard Nezha as the ancestor of this industry.

Before old Beijing, there was an Yina Temple, located in the area of Heilongtan (now Taoranting Park) in the south of the city. The temple is not big. There is a statue of Nezha in the temple with a gun and two waiters beside him. Every year on the 15th day of the third lunar month, businessmen in the brocade industry will go to Ina Temple to offer sacrifices to Nezha.

The grandfather of "prostitute"-Lv Dongbin

Reason for taking office: treating prostitutes

Prostitution was the darkest industry in the old society, and the eight hutongs outside Qianmen in old Beijing were the most concentrated places in Beijing.

Prostitutes also have their own grandfathers, and grandfathers worshipped in different places are different. In Nanjing, Kaifeng and other places, the white-browed god was worshipped as the ancestor, and in some places Guan Zhong was also worshipped. Lv Dongbin, the Eight Immortals, is generally worshipped as the ancestor of prostitutes in eight hutongs in Beijing. Prostitutes take Lv Dongbin as their granddaddy, which is said to have originated in Lv Dongbin. It is used to educate prostitutes and treat their bad diseases.

There is a Lvzu Temple near Xuanwu Gate in old Beijing. Because it is close to the eight hutongs in Qianmen, it has become a good place for prostitutes to burn incense, and the incense is the most prosperous. Every year, on Lv Zu's birthday on April 14 of the lunar calendar, prostitutes near Qianmen will go to this Lvzu Temple to burn incense, pray for peace in Lv Dongbin, and buy a "fairy flower" in the temple to bring back for good luck.

Luo Hong, the originator of beauty industry

Reason for taking office: saving the industry crisis

The hairdressing industry used to be called shaving industry and cosmetics industry. Before the Qing dynasty, the Han people did not shave their heads, and it was not until the Qing dynasty forced the Han people to shave their heads that the shaving industry appeared. After the Republic of China, it was called a haircut, but some people still called it a haircut.

The grandfather of the barber industry is surnamed Luo, from Jiangxi (some people say he is from Hunan). His name is beyond examination, and he is a poor Taoist. It is said that Yong Zhengdi suffered from severe head sores. Every time the eunuch asked Yongzheng to cut his hair (shave his head) and braid his hair (comb his hair), he was always embarrassed, often beaten and even beheaded. Later, Yongzheng found many combs from the people to serve in the palace, but they were all executed or sent. Many people in Beijing's shaving industry and plastic surgery industry are afraid, some flee, and some even change careers.

After Luo Gong knew this, he signed up for the palace to comb Yong Zhengdi's hair. When Luo Gong combed his hair, Yongzheng felt comfortable and his head sore gradually got better, so Luo Gong saved the hair shaving industry in Beijing. Later, Luo was buried in Baiyunguan, where he was named "just a cold real person". Barbers worship Luo Gong as their ancestors and regularly go to Baiyun Temple to worship Luo Gong.

During the Republic of China, wigs were once popular in Zhang Xun during the retrocession period and in Beijing. Because the wig industry is very similar to the barber industry, the wig industry is also the ancestor of Luo Gong.

Now there is a stone pagoda in the East Yard of Baiyunguan, which is the tomb of Luo Gong, and it was also here to worship Luo Gong regularly.
