In various myths and legends, most of the places where the Queen Mother appears are at the Peach Fair. Why is the Peach Party always held?

In fact, the Peach Club is the birthday party of the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother of the West’s birthday is on the third day of March. As she has a distinguished status, she holds a grand banquet in Yaochi every year, inviting all kinds of gods to come. Participation, and the gods who were invited also regard this as an honor, indicating that their status is very respected.

The staple food at the banquet is flat peaches, so this banquet is also called the flat peach party. As for why flat peaches are used to entertain various gods, this is also related to the development of fruits in ancient my country.

If you are interested, you can find out more. Here is a brief introduction. Among the various fruits we eat now, peaches originated in my country. Many other fruits are not native to my country. Some are decided because they don’t taste very good, some are determined due to regional relations, plus the status of the peach itself in traditional culture and other reasons.

In "Journey to the West", when the Queen Mother held a banquet, the staple food she chose must be peaches, but what the gods ate must not be ordinary peaches, so flat peaches were born.

In "Journey to the West", the three brothers were all punished for making mistakes or performing poorly at the Peach Club. It can be seen that the Peach Club has very high requirements for the words and deeds of the gods. The Queen Mother's flat peaches are divided into three grades: the third grade ripens only once every three thousand years, the second grade only ripens once every six thousand years, and the best ones only ripen once every nine thousand years.

But there are some problems. No matter what kind of peach people eat, it is very beneficial. However, the Peach Club only invites gods and not humans. So no matter how much it is said, what good will it do to people? What's the use?

So, the Queen Mother's Flat Peach Party is also a birthday party attended by the gods. It's okay to hold it frequently, but since things like flat peaches are harmful to people, The benefits are good, but they are not eaten by others. I don’t know if the author of "Journey to the West" wanted to use this to satirize the social situation at that time?
