Who are the celestial figures in The Journey to the West?

Tian Peng Yuan Shuai in history is a fairy in Taoist mythology and one of the four Arctic saints in lord protector. He was originally one of the Big Dipper, and was regarded as the star god. After personification, he became the deity of Beidou and Du Feng, the subordinate department of Arctic Emperor Wei Zi.

During the Tang and Song Dynasties, the "Tian Peng mantra" was popular among the people in China. People believed that reciting this mantra could protect the body and pray. The Record of Emperor Tai-huang Killing Ghosts with Demon Spells in the Arctic also describes the image of the canopy: "Three heads and six arms, armed with axe, bow, arrow, sword, priest, halberd and rope, 50 feet long, wearing black and gold armor, leading 36 magic soldiers."

Pig Bajie came to the earth as Marshal Tianpeng, but what was it before he became Marshal Tianpeng? In fact, in the original work, Zhu Bajie introduced himself. The nineteenth time, the Monkey King went to collect him, and he introduced his previous experience like this-I was clumsy, greedy for leisure and lazy since I was a child. Never repair its nature and its truth, chaos ecstasy endure the sun and the moon. Suddenly I met a true fairy in my spare time, so I sat down and said.

Advise me to change my mind and not fall into the mortal world. Injury will create endless evil. At the end of a person's life, he will regret it in three ways. You want to practice when you listen to words, and you want to ask for hints when you listen to words. Judging from this passage, he turned out to be a Buddhist youth who didn't make progress. But a big fairy insisted on accepting him as a disciple, and he began to learn Buddhism.

After the Tao was completed, he immediately flew into the sky. How is the treatment from heaven? The work circle is full but soaring, and the gods come to pick it up. Lang ran is born with colorful clouds, light and healthy. The Jade Emperor gave a banquet to entertain the immortals and arranged them in different levels. Marshal was ordered to be in charge of Tianhe, which was called the constitutional festival by the governor and sailors. The fairy not only greeted him with flowers, but also the Jade Emperor personally hosted a banquet for him, and finally named him Marshal Tian Peng.

Nine turns an alchemist gives an important clue. There are many people who can make an alchemist in Taoism, but throughout the book, only the nine turns of Taishang Laojun and Donghua Dijun are written.

To rule out the old gentleman, we can only find evidence along the line of Donghua Emperor. Back to the 26th time of the original work, the Monkey King invited Fu, Lu and Shou Sanxing to save the ginseng tree. Bajie was so happy when he was a child that he knew that Fuxing had fruit in his pocket and turned it over directly. It was impolite and Fuxing was not angry. It shows that Zhu Bajie and Fu Lushou have an excellent relationship, almost like a family. Moreover, it can be seen from the scene of the fight that Pig Bajie had this relationship a long time ago, when he was not in Xianban.

Another example is the seventy-ninth time in the original book. The birthday boy smiled and said, "I only have three dates in my sleeve, which are for the Donghua Emperor to eat tea. I haven't eaten it, so I'll give it to you (the king of the kingdom of monks). " When Pig saw this, he called, "Old Shou, there are fire dates. Give me something to eat. " "I didn't bring it," said the birthday boy. "I'll give you a few pounds another day."

Fire dates that can prolong life are just a few when the barefoot fairy sent the Tathagata. Besides, the birthday girl gave Bajie a few catties. What is there to say about this relationship? What is the relationship between this Fu Lushou Samsung and Donghua Dijun? It happens that the immortals on the three islands are all ancestors of the immortals in the Eight Cave, including the abbot Donghua, Penglai Samsung and Yingzhou Jiulao, among whom Emperor Donghua is the boss of this local group. Therefore, there is no doubt that Bajie's master is Donghua the Great!

2.Tota Li Tianwang

Li Jing, also known as Li Tianwang, is a folk fairy in ancient China mythology. He is also worshipped by the state and respected by Confucianism and Taoism. His titles are King of Tower, King of Inspiration, King of Vishamen, King of Vishamen and King of Northern China. Its image is elegant, holding halberd sword and pagoda. Originally a god of wealth, he is still the king of treasures in Tibet. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, he was worshipped by the military as the god of defense and war. It is also the god of protecting the country, the god of tourism, the god of the Silk Road and the god of the city god.

Appears in the Romance of the Gods, The Journey to the West's Journey to the South and many other classic literature and folklore. He is the husband of Mrs. Yin, the adoptive father of Prince Ganlu, a respected person in Hui 'an, Marshal Nezha of Zhongtanhe, and Mrs. Di Yong (golden nose and white mouse essence). During the Journey to the West, when he was ordered to crusade against the Monkey King, he was named "Demonized Marshal".

His gods will be the giant spirit god, the fish belly general, the medicine fork general, the hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and so on. Later, he helped Tang Priest and his disciples to fight the one-horned king (the old gentleman's green Niu Shan) and led the troops to capture monsters such as Niu Wangmo and Lady Diyong. The prototype is Li Jing, a famous Tang Dynasty star with the same name in the ancient history of China, and the "Pishamen Heavenly King" of Wu Shen worshipped by both the East and the West.

3. Marshal Tian Yu

Marshal Tian Yu is a fairy in China mythology, ranking second among the four saints in the Arctic. The Emperor Tai-huang ascended to heaven in nine days, and the four sacred scriptures said that he was ranked as "the king who knows the main hall in a wonderful heaven, and the second handsome man who leads the highest plough, ranking among the kings on the earth." The Four Saints of the Arctic, also known as the Four Saints of the Arctic and the Four Commanders of the North, are called: Tian Peng Grand Marshal Zhenjun, Tianyu Deputy Marshal Zhenjun (also known as the God-blessed Deputy Commander), Yi Shengbao Zhenjun (also known as the General of Evil) and Ling Yingyou Zhenjun (also known as the General of Zhenwu).

The worship of the four saints and true kings, the protector of Taoism, began after the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Shen Xiao School in Song Dynasty classified the "Four Saints" and "Bule" as one of the important gods of Taoism.

After the Song Dynasty, the black and evil generals were replaced or merged into one by "General Yi Sheng Baode", and the position of the Arctic Emperor Star was stable, thanks to the guards of the four marshals. Therefore, the four marshals are also called the great gods to protect the sky, and often serve as guardians of the town halls in the temples of the Taoist God Jade Emperor or Wei Zi. In the Ming Dynasty, they believed in Zhenwu Emperor, whose status was equivalent to that of Wei Zi, one of the four emperors. By the Ming Dynasty, the belief of Zhenwu the Great had far surpassed that of the Four Saints of the Arctic.

Buddhism has four donkey kong, most of which are mighty and tall men as protectors, while Taoism also has protectors, with a high order of gods and a very complete configuration.

In the most famous murals of Yongle Palace, the mighty Taoist gods are described in detail. There are eight marshals in Taoism, namely, Marshal Tian Peng, Marshal Tian You, Marshal Yi Sheng, Marshal Zhenwu, Marshal Wen Qiong, Marshal Deng Bowen, Marshal Gou Zhang and Marshal Bi Huan, who are responsible for protecting the integrity and exorcism in Taoism. Of course, the canopy here is definitely not a pig, but a novel description, which does not belong to the category of the immortal system.

4. Marshal Yi Sheng

Marshal Yi Sheng is the third of the four Taoist saints, also known as Marshal Black, and is the patron saint of Han mythology. Yi sheng means assisting the son of heaven. The prosperity of Xuanwu belief and the improvement of Xuanwu God's status began in the Song Dynasty. At the beginning of the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty, Gaine was threatened by the northern foreign nationalities Qidan and Liao. In order to improve his self-confidence against invasion, he sought the protection of Xuanwu, a great god in the north.

The Four Wonderful Classics on the 29th Day of Tai Shang Yan said that the Arctic barbarians killed the Grand Commander, "Heaven ranks in the top three, and there are three holes and five thunder orders. It is the balance of eight days and nine places, the cardinal of Benjamin's good or bad luck, and the official of the current true fairy. Innocent, how dare you? "

Shooting powerful demons, chasing meteors, shining sun and moon, and lofty monsters. His "Black Killing Curse" said: "Go and shoot, never break the gate of hell, go and divide the spirit, except for the five thunders, the left and right officers and men, the general of Sanwu, the thunder of Leigong, the electric wind rushing, the sword raining, the team fighting like a cloud, the imperial bell in hand, crossing Kunlun Mountain, traveling around the country, looking for ghosts and gods, Kyushu society, blood-eating soldiers are not allowed to refuse."

Taoism has a complex immortal system, among which the most important immortal factions are Buhler and the Four Saints system. Many Taoist schools are famous for their thunder methods, including five fulei, five fulei tokens and thunder methods.

The other big system is the four true kings of the Arctic. The Four Saints of the Arctic are under the command of the Arctic Emperor Wei Zi, guarding the Arctic Emperor Star. They are the imperial guards of the Jade Emperor and are responsible for sweeping away the monsters in the world.

In the Ming Dynasty, Quanzhen religion, which believed in Zhenwu the Great, flourished, and people's worship of Zhenwu the Great gradually surpassed that of the Arctic Four Saints. Marshal Yi Sheng ranks third among the four saints in the Arctic. He is also known as General Black Evil. Marshal Yisheng was respected in the Northern Song Dynasty, and was regarded as the patron saint by the royal family in the Northern Song Dynasty. After all, the northern part of the Northern Song Dynasty has been at war. In order to pray for peace, he was dedicated to one of the four saints in the Arctic.

5. Marshal Zhenwu

Zhenwu Emperor ranks fourth among the four saints in the Arctic. He is also known as Marshal Zhenwu. During the Ming Dynasty, people paid more attention to Zhenwu the Great. It is said that he is the incarnation of the old gentleman, and the name of the snakehead turtle is Xuanwu. The ancients thought that the north belonged to water, so people also called him the water god, who was in charge of wind, rain and lightning and guarded the north.

Not only that, Zhenwu Emperor was also a town general. It is said that he is a generalist. His job is to lead the army to conquer, help one side and subdue the devil. During the reign of Emperor Chengzu in the Ming Dynasty, many royal institutions dedicated statues of Zhenwu the Great. The image of Zhenwu Emperor is very powerful. He is 100 of a foot long, with loose hair and golden locks and armor. The five-color tortoise stands at his feet, standing by his sword, and his eyes are like lightning, recording the golden married couples who have made meritorious deeds in the three realms.

The Complete Biography of the Origin of Tian Xuan, the Ancestor of Northern Zhenwu, said: The 36-day generals were all generals of Emperor Zhenwu, and the jade emperor sealed them, all under Zhenwu's command. Tian Xuan, a god with great power and great courage, is famous for his 36-day general, and all ministries punish evil and promote good.

6. Marshal Ma Sheng among the four marshals in Tianmen.

Ma Sheng, the official of Ma Lingguan, is one of Chinese folk beliefs. He is a lingguan in the Leifa of the orthodox school of Taoism, and is called "the 33-day golden arm with a round light fire and a rhinoceros fairy, and the mountains are broken, and the marshal of the orthodox school is a lingguan" in Marshal Ma's Taoist secret law.

Raytheon, on the left side of the Taoist temple gate, designated Ma Lingguan as a Taoist figure. Its shape is generally: three heads, nine eyes, six arms and a blue body. Holding a fire bell and a fire rope in both hands; Two armed with golden guns and gold bricks; Fighting swords with both hands, stepping on a steam wheel, carrying a fire spoon and a fire crow, the image is fierce. Some people say that his five internal organs are heart, liver and lung, so he emphasizes that heart fire rises and liver and lung disappear. Ma Sheng had a great influence after Ming and Qing Dynasties, and there were many Taoist methods based on him.

Taoism also has four great marshals, the "Ma Zhao Wenguan", who used force to control the town. Marshal Ma is as white as snow, Marshal Zhao is as black as iron, Marshal Guan is as red as blood, Marshal Wen is as green as indigo, and the four marshals are the four great gods used to exorcise evil spirits and eliminate disasters.

Marshal Ma is also known as Marshal Ma Lingguan, Three Eyes Lingguang, King Huaguang and Ma Tianjun. According to legend, it was born from the six stars in Nandou, so it was called "Doukou Shen Kui" and named Ma Sheng. Because he has three eyes, people also call him "the three eyes of a horse"

According to Taoist records, Jin Niang was first reincarnated as a horse, so she was named Ma. According to the "Three Religions Seeking God", Ma once "appeared saints" three times, and killed 500 fire crows in the East China Sea, thus saving his mother in hell. Later, when the Jade Emperor saw him as a general, he made him the real Emperor Wu Bao Tian Department.

7. Marshal Zhao Gongming

The real name is Lang, also known as Marshal. "Tan Xuan" refers to the altar of Taoism, which also means protecting the law. He is one of the four Taoist marshals. At the same time, he is also a general of the underworld thunder department and one of the five plagues.

As the god of wealth in China, he is in charge of the world's financial resources. Zhao Gongming is the god in charge of financial resources in China folklore, and the god of wealth is mainly divided into two categories: one is the seal of Taoism, and the other is the one of Chinese folk beliefs. Taoism gives God the title of celestial official, and Chinese folk beliefs are celestial officials and immortals. Specializing in greeting auspicious wishes and buying and selling businesses. Later, China people thought that Zhao Gongming was in charge of four small gods related to wealth, namely Zhao Bao, Na Zhen, Cai Zhao and Shi Li, and thus became a real god of wealth.

Nowadays, the God of Wealth in the Taoist Temple is mostly black-faced and bearded, riding a Hei Hu, holding a silver whip in one hand and an ingot in the other, all in uniform. The statue of God of Wealth should be Wu Caishen, that is, Marshal Zhao Gong. Marshal Zhao Gong, namely Zhao Gongming and Zhao Xuantan.

Zhao Gongming's miracles were found in Sou Shen Ji and Zhen Xin Ji in Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, but they were just buried things, or plagues. At the end of Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of Ming Dynasty, Zhao Gongming's miracle was completely recorded. In the novel Romance of the Gods in the Ming Dynasty, there was a passage about the deity of Jiang Ziya, and Zhao Gongming was named as the true king of the Dragon and Tiger Mystery, leading Zhao Baotian, the deity, the lucky messenger and all the treasures in the world!

8. Marshal Wen Qiong

In the legends of China and Zhejiang coastal areas, Marshal Wen Qiong is one of the famous gods and one of the local traditional folk religious beliefs. It has pinned the good wishes of the working people in China to exorcise evil spirits, avoid disasters and pray for blessings.

He, Ma, Zhao and Guan are also called the Four Commanders of Protecting the Law. According to "The Eunuch of West Sanding", there is such a description: "The indigo towel is full of light, and the jade robe is full of flowers. The cinnabar hair bundle is red all over, and the shape of grinding teeth with green face is too poisonous. Xiangyun Lulu came out of the Heavenly Palace, and wolves, spikes and demons all fell. " It can be seen that Marshal Wen was black and blue.

Marshal Wen was given by the Jade Emperor, and was the first of the Ten Pacific Insurance in Dongyue, with the greatest influence and the busiest official business. He is also the protector of Taoism, and one of the four great names of Ma, Zhao, Wen and Guan. He is also one of the thirty-six generals under Emperor Zhenwu, who holds several posts.

9. Marshal Guan Yu

Marshal Guan, also known as "Demon Lord" and "Demon Emperor". Taoism regards him as one of the four marshals to protect the law, and worships him as Wu Caishen. Marshal Guan is very popular in the imperial court and folk beliefs. He is called "Guan Jun" or "Guan Di" for short, and is rarely called "Guan Gong" or "Guan Laoye". From Wei Dynasty to Tang Dynasty, Guan Yu's influence among the people was not too great.

The Three Religions Seeking Gods is also called the reincarnation of Qinglong. When he was born, his eyes were upright, his eyebrows were crowded, and he was too long. He is nine feet five inches tall. He must be one foot eight inches long. The face is like a heavy jujube, the lips are like sand, and the phoenix eyes are like sleeping silkworms' eyebrows.

At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Guan Yu was made a public (or true king). It is said that he was a subordinate god of Zhang Tianshi. It was sealed at the beginning of next year. In the Qing Dynasty, Guan Di believed in helping life and was regarded as the God of Akinosuke. In short, from the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, Guan Yu was included in the national sacrificial ceremony and was regarded as a god by the people.

Marshal Guan's image is not only Wu Shen, but also the function of managing imperial examinations, treating diseases and eliminating disasters, exorcising evil spirits, punishing treason, inspecting secret companies, and sheltering and making money. Especially in the Qing Dynasty, Marshal Guan became the head of human beings and gods, known as the warrior sage, on a par with Confucius in Wen Sheng.

There are countless temples dedicated to it, which have spread all over the world since the early Qing Dynasty, and their names are also different. Common names are Guandi Temple, Guan Sheng Temple, Wang Guan Temple, Guan Sheng Temple and Laoye Temple. There are also special sacrifices and Taiwan Province sacrifices. When Taiwan Province offered sacrifices to Guan Gong, he was combined with Yue Fei, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Erlang God and Land God. Common temples are Wu Temple (or Temple), Sanyi Temple, Sanyi Palace and Seven Sacred Temples.

10, marshal evil, the king of train lingguan.

Wang Lingguan is the most respected Taoist protector and god. There is a saying in Taoism that Lingguan is 500, and Wang Lingguan is the first of the 500 Lingguan, which is called "Lingguan in Beijing". In the Ming Dynasty, he was also a famous god of Raytheon, Vulcan and evil spirits, and was also an important Taoist immortal who was responsible for collecting plagues, taking poison and enjoying national sacrifices.

In the first hall of many Taoist temples, it is generally this Wang Lingguan who guards the entrance of Taoist temples. Entering the Taoist Temple, the first temple at the entrance of the mountain is often also the Lingguan Temple, where a red-faced moustache is enshrined, wearing a golden robe and red robe, glaring at hot wheels on the left and holding Strafe on the right. The image is extremely brave and frightening. This is the first protector of Taoism, Wang Ling Palace.

Wang Lingguan faces the mountain gate, and his brow is sharp, and he can distinguish between true and false and see good and evil. Therefore, when Taoists enter the palace, they all worship Wang Lingguan after entering the mountain gate. There is a folk saying that "if you don't go up the mountain, you should worship Wang Lingguan first" to express your respect for this Taoist protector. Don't underestimate this statue. In The Journey to the West's original works, Wang Lingguan once tied with the Monkey King.

1 1, Marshal Tian Peng

When the Monkey King made a scene in the Heavenly Palace, Tian Peng Yuan Shuai, as the leader of the protector of heaven, hid himself and watched the scene of bustle. After the Tathagata surrendered to the Monkey King, he ran out to brush his sense of existence. The Jade Emperor was naturally unhappy, so he made an excuse, personally beat Marshal Tian Peng with two thousand hammers to avenge himself, and then reincarnated into the world, mistakenly throwing a pig fetus, and became Pig Bajie. The other two Arctic Four Saints, Marshal God Bless and Marshal Yi Sheng are not much better. I don't know that they were exiled to that corner by the jade emperor and never appeared in heaven again.

Marshal was demoted, Emperor Zhenwu was promoted, and the Jade Emperor found Ma (Emperor), (God of Wealth), (First Pacific Insurance of Dongyue) and Guan Yu (Emperor Guan Sheng) to replace the Four Saints of the Arctic and become the new protectors of the four Grand Marshal. The Monkey King met them when he went to heaven for help. They were also one of the 500 Lingguan of Zhenwu Emperor.

Horse, the marshal of the flying god horse, is born with three eyes, so it is also called "the horse king has three eyes" among the people. Ma, the protagonist in Travel Notes to the South, once made a scene in the Heavenly Palace. He was personally surrendered by Zhenwu Emperor and became one of the 500 spiritual officials under Zhenwu Emperor, and was later named Huaguang Emperor.

Wen Qiong, like Nezha, was reincarnated as a celestial pearl, and was accepted as the first of the Ten Pacific Pacifics in Dongyue by the Emperor Dongyue. Dongyue Ten Pacific Insurance is also called Dongyue Ten Marshal, and Wen Qiong was named Marshal Zhao Ling Wu Wen by the Jade Emperor. Zhenwu Emperor appreciated Wen Qiong's integrity and was accepted as one of the 500 spiritual officials.

The four marshals appeared in The Journey to the West as the guardians of the worse gate, which is the heaven. Protecting the worse gate is equivalent to guarding the frontier on earth, which is an important task. Emperor Zhenwu personally guarded the worse gate.

12, Devil Marshal Excavate

There are also Marshal Tota, King Excavate and Marshal Nezha of Zhongtan in heaven. In The Journey to the West, Marshal Lingguan took turns to sit under the four heavenly kings, who were housekeepers, well-informed, progressive and eye-opening, guarding the four heavenly gates. It can be seen that King Li Jing of Tota is the first of the four heavenly kings, and Li Jingyuan is above 500 Lingguan.

After the Monkey King made a scene in the Heavenly Palace, the Jade Emperor was greatly dissatisfied with the performance of the Star King headed by Emperor Wei Zi of the Arctic, and lost trust in him. So he demoted Marshal Zhu Bajie of Tian Peng, supported Zhenwu Emperor who worked hard, and established a system of five hundred spiritual officials headed by Zhenwu Emperor and the four heavenly kings. Zhenwu Emperor's status has been promoted like a rocket, gradually replacing his old boss, the Arctic Wei Zi Emperor.
