Nezha’s eldest brother is called Jin Zha, and his second brother is called Muzha. Why isn’t he called Shuizha or Huozha?

There are several theories why Nezha is not called Shuizha or Muzha. One says that Nezha got his name from his master, and the other says that Nezha was introduced to China from India. , evolved into Nezha.

In Fengshen Yanyi, everyone knows that Taiyi Zhenren is a master who is particularly protective of his shortcomings, and he especially loves Nezha. Nezha is a disciple of Master Taiyi. Master Taiyi calculated that Nezha is destined to have a disaster, and this disaster is related to water.

So Taiyi Master deliberately avoided water when naming Nezha. However, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth are the laws of the Five Elements cycle. Since this law is broken, there is no need to continue to abide by the name. What about Fire Zha and Earth Zha, so I skipped Fire and Earth and directly named Nezha Nezha.

Unexpectedly, even though he was named Nezha, Nezha would still suffer a disaster. In the legend of Nezha, Nezha killed the third prince of the Dragon King of the East China Sea and took out his dragon tendons, causing the Dragon King of the East China Sea to flood Qiantang. Unexpectedly, Nezha was so determined that he cut off his bones to repay his father. A heroic act of cutting off flesh to return to the mother.

But Master Taiyi had long known that Nezha would suffer a disaster, so he used lotus flowers to preserve Nezha's soul after his death, and used lotus roots to help Nezha reshape his body. This is also the reason why Master Taiyi named Nezha in the first place. This statement is also recognized by many people.

However, there is another saying that Nezha is an immortal in Indian Buddhism. Since our country's culture is tolerant and inclusive, the cultures and religious traditions of various countries have been integrated in our country. Therefore, Nezha, as a foreign god, slowly evolved into one of the ancient religious gods.

So Nezha appears first in this statement, because Nezha was asked to determine the name first, and then Jin Zha and Mu Zha were taken out. This statement is also one of the more widely circulated.
