The queen mother and the jade emperor are not husband and wife, so how did the seven fairies come?
The origin of the seven fairies has a great relationship with the ancient stars, which originated from the worship of astronomy and the feathered image produced by the immortal thought in Qin and Han dynasties, so the legend of the seven fairies gradually came into being. As early as in the novels of Han and Jin Dynasties, there was a saying that Yong Dong married a wife, so people first associated the goddess with folk mortals. But there is no record that these women are the daughters of the Jade Emperor and the Empress Dowager. They are just goddesses in the image of feather people.
In the stone carvings of the Han Dynasty, the seven fairies are also images of feather people. They surrounded the Queen Mother and looked like her maids. During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, there was a story that the Jade Emperor sent a fairy to help Yong Dong, because there was no such thing as the Jade Emperor before the Song Dynasty, but it was called the Emperor of Heaven. It was not until the title of "seven aunts" was mentioned for the first time in Ming Dynasty operas, and then the image of the goddess was refined, that people began to think that the seven fairies must be beautiful women dressed in seven different colors.
Then from the end of the Ming Dynasty, people defined the seven fairies as the daughters of the Queen Mother and the Jade Emperor. You know, in early fairy tales, the Queen Mother and the Jade Emperor were not husband and wife. I have to say that the times are progressing, and even fairy tales have been advancing.
