Ziwei in the men's room

China is a country that worships gods. No matter what, there is basically a corresponding god. For example, doors and windows, households, wells, stoves, and floors are the five family gods. And the gods of forests and trees, the gods who bless livestock, and so on? So is there a god in the toilet? In fact, toilets are also gods!

Modern toilets are divided into men's toilets and women's toilets, but in ancient times, there was no distinction. In the age when men and women used toilets, was this god of toilets a man or a woman?

In fact, according to China's myth system, there are two Ce Shen. The first one comes from the legendary toilet god King Kong in Buddhism. He is a male. Legend has it that after the Buddha's nirvana, all the gods and buddhas in the world came to support the Buddha, but only one person did not come, and he was the king of Brahma.

When God and Buddha saw this man, they wanted to ask him about his sin. As a result, as soon as I left his palace, I found that the entrance to his palace was full of filth (this Brahma King is really a sloppy king). If you want to go in, you must clean up these filth first. So after seven days and seven nights, the magic of God and Buddha could not be solved.

As soon as the Buddha saw it, he had to summon the dirty King Kong. With a little magic, he swept away the filth, so that the Buddha could clean up the bun. Since then, the dirty king kong has become the embodiment of cleaning up filth and managing human toilets.

The second toilet god comes from the folklore of China. She is a local fairy. Originally named He Mei, she was the concubine of Li Jing, the secretariat of Shouyang in Tang Dynasty. Because of his cleverness, he was suspected by his first wife and was killed in the toilet on the night of Lantern Festival. Although He Mei is dead, the ghost is still there. Every time Li Jing goes to the toilet, she hears bouts of crying. This incident quickly alarmed the Emperor of Heaven. In order to calm He Mei's anger, the Emperor of Heaven named her Ce Shen. Zigu? .

However, there is more than one legend about the female toilet god. It is also recorded in Ling Ying Lu in the Tang Dynasty that there was a man named Wang who often worshipped. One day, a woman dressed in yellow came to his house and claimed to be Ce Shen. Because she was often worshipped by the king, she said she would repay him. Say that finish, I took out a mushy thing from my pocket and put it on the king's ear. I told him that if he saw ants, he would listen with his ears, and there would be surprises.

The next day, Wang XXX really saw a group of ants in his yard. He leaned down to listen, and it was strange that he could understand the ant. Just heard the ant say: Let's move quickly. There are treasures in this place, and it is too cold (why is the treasure cold? Is every child who has no heating at home an angel with broken wings? Hearing this, Wang quickly followed the ants to find the nest and opened it. Sure enough, there is a lot of money.
