Brief introduction to the story of Wushan goddess

Legend has it that the Empress Dowager Yi has 23 daughters, all of whom are smart and beautiful, especially Yao Ji, the youngest daughter, who is bright, charming and very smart. The most precious thing is that she is kind-hearted and has such a bodhisattva heart. The Queen Mother loves her very much and regards her as the apple of her eye.

However, Yao Ji must be cautious, thoughtful and active, just like the geese in the clouds, which can't be caged. Bored in the house, she often goes out quietly to see the lotus beside the Yaochi, climbs the flat peach tree to pick up the stars, and sometimes swims secretly in the Tianhe River. These things reached the ears of the Queen Mother. The heavenly queen dissuaded her daughter, but there was nothing she could do. She smiled for fear of speaking too softly. She pouted when she said too much.

One day, the Queen Mother was very unhappy and went out to play in a worse place. It happened that Yao Ji was looking down through the white clouds. When the Queen Mother saw it, she said angrily, "You can fight in the sky, so forget it. How can you look at the lower bound? It will pollute your eyes. Don't look! "

Yao Ji doesn't believe it. He stared at the flying crane below and said, "This crane is as white as jade. How can it be in the sky? I want to fly around like it, walk around and see what the lower bound looks like? "

The queen mother was even more angry when she saw that she had moved evil thoughts. She shouted, "Forget it and go back to the Forbidden Palace!"

Yao Ji had never seen her mother lose such a big temper and felt wronged and unconvinced. She decided to jump under the white clouds. The queen mother hurriedly reached out to hold her, barely suppressed her anger, turned her cold face into a hot face, and enlightened: "The sea of misery in the lower world is boundless. You are a golden branch and jade leaf. You must not go down! "

Yao Ji became more and more surprised and simply sat on the cloud and looked down. Sure enough, he saw most people living in huts, eating bran vegetables and wearing rags. She sighed and said, "How bitter it is!"

The queen mother was secretly pleased when she heard this, and then said, "It's better to have endless food and clothes in the sky ..."

Unexpectedly, the more the heavenly queen said, the more Yao Ji felt harsh; The more the heavenly queen compares, the more difficult Yao Ji becomes. She was cruel and determined: Go to the underworld! The heavenly queen twisted her, thinking: men should marry and women should marry. Maybe she wants to find a son-in-law, so she might as well play along. So she told her daughter to take a trip to the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea.

The Dragon King of the East China Sea has already tested Yao Ji's idea and proposed to the Queen Mother. Yao Ji was just too young to decide. Seeing her as a guest now is even more attentive.

The Dragon King of the East China Sea accompanied Yao Ji into the Dragon Palace. Wherever he went, the sea separated to both sides and became a crystal road, bright and translucent, with fish and shrimp swimming around and water plants swaying gently. There are all kinds of corals and shells here, which dazzle Yao Ji.

She felt particularly bright when she entered the harem. It turns out that night pearls are hung everywhere, string by string, from the stars to the moon. The Dragon King of the East China Sea asked Yao Ji to sit on the golden chair and let people put manna on the agate table. He poured his own wine and said respectfully, "Please give a banquet for the fairy!" " Please. " 、

Yao Ji saw that there was no one else in the seat, and his heart was pounding. The Dragon King of the East China Sea sneaked up to her and said politely, "A beautiful girl and a teenager are made for each other. Isn't it obvious that the heavenly queen asked you to come? "

Yao Ji blushed and knew that he had been trapped. In a rage, he left the Dragon Palace and went straight to earth. When she came to Wushan, she met many people, leaning on sticks, carrying broken bamboo baskets, holding the old and the young, crying and fleeing abroad. She was about to ask when suddenly she saw dark clouds rolling in the sky, the wind whistling and twelve dragons making waves.

When they stare, it is a flash of lightning, which is dazzling and untenable; A roar is a thunder, causing houses to collapse and villages to become ruins; When it turns over, it is a rainstorm, causing flash floods, flooding fields and overturning ships. Yao Ji thought about it. Aren't these all subordinates of the East China Sea Dragon King? How can you be so rampant and harm people casually!

Yao Ji hurried to the clouds, approached the dragons and coaxed them back to the East China Sea.

The dragon heard a voice in the air and looked up and saw Baiyun carrying a girl of seventeen or eighteen. They said, "What do you know, little girl? Don't talk! We can play as we please. What is your way? " When he spoke, the situation got worse.

Yao Qi couldn't help it any longer. He gently pulled out a jade hairpin from his head and waved it at the twelve dragons. It flashed by, and the wind stopped raining and the clouds opened. Twelve evil Longquan died and fell to the ground.

But after the death of the dragon, it still hurts people. Their bodies turned into twelve high mountains, namely Wushan Mountain, which blocked the river flowing eastward and turned into an ocean here. People still can't live and work in peace. Yao Ji couldn't bear to leave the people because they were suffering, so he stayed.

Extended data

Wushan Goddess is the daughter of Chi Di in the south-central part of the Five Emperors. In China's poems, it gradually accumulated into an inextricable "Wushan Goddess Complex", and the connotation of this complex in the poet's mind is rich and profound. Because of this complex, China culture's attitude towards women adds a "respect" to "intimacy".

For example, Jia Baoyu's attitude towards women is "intimate and respectful". The dreamy nature of the goddess has surpassed the original meaning of women. At this time, the original description of women points to the meaning of super-women, such as a beautiful ideal, the pursuit of life and so on.
