The legendary story of the toilet god

Zigu in the southwest of China, especially in Xiangxi, is called Ce Shen in the folklore of Han nationality, also known as Zigu, Toilet Valley, Maogu, KengGu and KengSan. The world says he can be a prophet, and he worships at home and divines. Zi Gu, according to legend, was a native of Tang Dynasty, surnamed He Mingmei, a native of Shandong. She is outstanding in talent and appearance. First, he married a player, and later he was taken by Li Jing, the secretariat of Shouyang. Then she killed her husband as a concubine and was jealous by Li Jing's first wife. On the night of Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month, she plotted to kill He Mei in the toilet. He Mei's ghost haunts, often appearing faintly, singing and crying. As a result, the heaven learned that the Emperor had pity on him and named him Ce Shen. In addition, Zi Gu is the concubine of Liu Bang. Lv Hou cut off her hands and feet, cut off her hair, gouged out her eyes, deaf her ears, and threw them into the toilet for ministers to visit as "ladies". People were sympathetic and made a souvenir.

It is also said that the Three Empresses in the Pit are three girls, referring to three sisters, Zhao Gongming and the God of Wealth, namely Xiao Yun, Xiao Qiong and Bixiao, who were deified by Jiang Ziya.

In the past, the sacrifices to Ce Shen in Cixian County were mostly held on the first day of the New Year's Day, and lights were lit and incense was burned in the toilet. This custom is also beneficial to the toilet lighting when getting up early on the first day of junior high school.

Zi Gushen's belief in God existed in the Six Dynasties and prevailed in the Tang and Song Dynasties until the Qing Dynasty. Book integration of ancient and modern books. "Nerve" volume four quotes "Different Garden": "There is an aunt in the world, who was called a concubine in ancient times and was jealous of a big woman. She died on the fifteenth night of the first month. Later generations offered sacrifices and said,' Zi Xu is not here, Cao Fu will go, and my sister-in-law can go out.' Whoever caught it thought God was coming. To illustrate many things. Xu, the name of the husband is also. Cao Fu, a big woman. "He also quoted" Bian Zhi ":"Zi Gu, from Laiyang, surnamed He Mingmei, the word Li Qing. Shouyang Li Jingna is a concubine. His wife was jealous and died in the toilet on the fifteenth day of the first month. God pitied him and named him Ce Shen. Therefore, the world creates its shape and worships the toilet at night to occupy everything. Commonly known as the third aunt. "In the Southern Dynasties, Liang Zonggu wrote the Chronicle of Jingchu:" On the evening of 15th, Yingzi Valley was welcomed to predict that sericulture would take up more business in the future. "Shen Songkuo's Meng Qian Bi Tan (Volume 2 1):" According to the old custom, welcoming Ce Shen in the evening of the first month is called Zi Gu. It doesn't have to be in the first month, you can call at any time. " Interpretation of Principles, a collection of essays by Huang in Qing Dynasty: "Today, on the Shangyuan Festival, women are welcome here. Methods: Take a dung dustpan the day before, decorate it with a hairpin ring, mark it with flowers, and insert a silver hairpin into the dustpan for one side of the toilet. Make another confession, light candles and incense, and the children will salute. "

According to: At least in the Southern Dynasties, there were records about Zi Gu. However, the statement of concubine Li Jing, the secretariat of Shouyang, said that Wu Zetian had been hanging on the arch for three years. In the Tang Dynasty, there was also the custom of inviting "relatives Ce Shen". (Gucci is also called Gucci, which may be the cause of homophonic) "Is the moon order generalized? The Order of the First Month states that Gaihan's wife died in the toilet, which is the god invited by the Lantern Festival in the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, all those invited are invited to the toilet. "

Aunt Ce Shen, who originated from Liu Bang's princess Lv Hou, persecuted Liu Bang's concubines and couples for conferring the crown prince.

Lu held a grudge against Mrs. Qi, and after Liu Bang's death, he took revenge step by step. She first punished Mrs Qi as a slave, then cut off her hair, smoked her ears, and forced her to drink dumb poison. Finally, she dug out Mrs. Qi's eyes extremely cruelly, threw them into the toilet, tortured her to death, and gave her a "human pig" (meaning "human pig")

The most unbearable thing is that when Mrs. Qi lingered in the toilet, Lu actually let his son Han and his ministers watch the horror film "Full Wall" before dying. Later generations sympathized with Mrs. Qi's tragic experience and renamed her son Gucci Gu. In addition to Zigui and Gucci, some areas also call "KengSan Girl" Ce Shen. "Romance of the Gods" contains: Miss KengSan is three fairies of Xiao Yun, Xiao Qiong and Bixiao on Sanxian Island. They have a brother, Zhao Gongming, who studied Taoism in Luofu Cave in Emei Mountain.

When attacking Shang and Zhou, he refused to help the merchants of Shang and Zhou, and was killed by Zhou. The brothers of three sisters in Xiao Yun had bad news. They got together to do business and avenge their brother. At first, they fought with mixed bucket and scissors, and won many victories. After the Yuan Dynasty, the Buddha and Laozi came to rescue the scene and used magic to fight and cut off the magic tools of the Three Immortals. Lao Tzu ordered the Yellow Scarf Lux to crush the sky, ordered the White Crane Boy to kill Qiong Xiao with three precious jade, and personally took out the magic box from his sleeve and put Bi Xiao into the box to turn it into blood.

When sealing gods, Jiang Ziya Feng, Qiong Bi and Bi Xiao were the "three women in the pit" and were in charge of mixed yuan fights. When the immortal enters the holy place, the emperor is the son of heaven, and the noble and the humble are virtuous and foolish, we must first turn the bucket into a robbery and cannot surpass it.

Moreover, it is also pointed out in the Romance of the Gods that the three women in the pit also have the sacred duty to reborn their babies, saying, "The above three aunts are the gods of the three women in the pit." The "golden garden fight" is a net fight between human beings, and the birth of mortals has since been reborn. When a baby is born, it must first fall into the clean bucket of the toilet. Although this is inevitable for the emperor's sages, as a result, the value of Ce Shen's cheating has doubled. The gods worshipped by the Han people in ancient China are varied, and even the toilets in every household have gods. The god in charge of the toilet is called "Ce Shen", and she is a woman.

The legendary female toilet god, named Zi Gu, was born in the Tang Dynasty. Her real name is He, her name is Mei, and her word is Li Qing. She was smart and eager to learn, read and write, and married a singer when she grew up.

During the reign of Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty, Li Jing, the secretariat of Shouyang, killed He Mei's husband and then took her as his concubine. He Mei is young and beautiful, and she is envied by her original wife at Li Jing's home. Soon, the first wife was cruel and killed He Mei in the toilet on the night of the fifteenth day of the first month.

He Mei died with an injustice, and the ghost lingered. Li Jing hears crying every time he goes to the toilet. He Mei appeared frequently and made a gesture of "holding a weapon and yelling loudly". When Wu Zetian heard about this incident, she sympathized with Zi Gu's experience and ordered him to be named "Ce Shen".

Later, the world made paper figures or wooden figures according to the appearance of He Mei and put them in the toilet. On the night of the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first month, on the one hand, they offered sacrifices, on the other hand, they greeted Ce Shen's daughter-in-law.

During the sacrifice, people murmured, "Zi Xu is not here, nor is Cao Fu. Sister-in-law can go out." Zi Xu refers to Cao Fu, the eldest wife and sister-in-law of Excavate and Excavate, that is, He Mei. Legend has it that Zigu has a good gas field. If she can predict everything about Ce Shen, she can know the good and the bad.
