How did the birthday message of "Shoubi Nanshan" come down?

According to legend, it was a long time ago. One year in Qiongzhou, it suddenly became dark, with thunder and lightning, and it rained cats and dogs for seven days and seven nights. On the eighth day, there was a loud noise and the sky suddenly collapsed. Qiongzhou broke away from the mainland and became an independent island. Life on Qiongzhou Island is dead and wounded. All the rivers have changed lanes, all the mountains have changed shape, and some rivers and mountains have disappeared. Strangely, only Nanshan is safe and sound, not a single tree or grass is damaged, and no one who lives on Nanshan is injured, let alone dead. Legend has it that Nanshan people who experienced this sudden collapse lived for hundreds of years and finally became immortals.

In 748 AD, 35 people, including Jian Zhen and his disciples, set out from Yangzhou. When they crossed the sea for the fifth time, they were caught in a hurricane and drifted from Wan Li to the mouth of Ningyuan River in Zhou Zhen. They have no strength at all. People in Nanshan found out and saved them. As soon as they came into contact with the land of Nanshan, they immediately opened their eyes and their spirits came. They lived in Zhou Zhen for more than a year, built Dayun Temple and spread Buddhist culture.

These things have been passed down from mouth to mouth, so people call Nanshan "fairy mountain". More and more people come to Nanshan to play and live. Legend has it that people who have been to Nanshan are sick and healthy, and they all live long.

Because Nanshan was intact in the sudden subsidence. Because people who have been to Nanshan live a long life, people often wish others a long life with longevity. The phrase "longevity is better than Nanshan" has been used all the time.

The birthday star is transformed from a star, which refers to the two stars in Twenty-eight Nights. "Two ya? Shi Tian wrote: "The birthday girl has a powerful horn. "The name of the birthday girl in astronomy is Alpha Carina, which is located at about 50 degrees south latitude in the southern hemisphere and is hard to see in the north of China.

After the Eastern Han Dynasty, longevity sacrifice was included in the national sacrifice code by successive dynasties, and was abolished in the Ming Dynasty. The official position of the birthday star was originally the national life, that is, the national life, and later it was regarded as the god of "longevity test in the main world".

In the traditional concept of our country, Ma Gu is the birthday girl with a thousand years old birthday. On the occasion of the female elder's birthday, a beautiful and auspicious picture of "Ma Gu Shou Gong" is often hung on the birthday hall at home. In the picture, Ma Gu is holding a tribute tray with her own ganoderma lucidum wine, golden urn, hip flask and Xiantao, while Ma Gu is staring at you with a smile.

In ancient myths and legends, Ma Gu was an outstanding and clever fairy.

According to legend, when she was 18 years old, she had a deep magic power, and the rice grains thrown in her hand could immediately become golden beads. There are many different legends about the origin of Magu in history. Some people think that she is the daughter of Ma Qiu, a fierce general in the post-Zhao Dynasty: she is full of luck, builds harsh cities, and travels day and night until chickens crow less. Ma Gu sympathizes with the people, often pretends to crow, and the chickens change their voices and stop working early. My late father became suspicious and wanted to denounce it, but menstruation fled in fear and went to the fairy cave to practice.

Some people say that she is the sister of the Fairy King in Jin Dynasty, while others say that she is a beautiful woman liberated from the palace in Tang Dynasty. There is also a folk legend that Ma Gu is the daughter of Qin Shihuang, with a numb face and a kind heart. When the Great Wall was built, Qin Shihuang told her to preach the imperial edict that migrant workers "eat one meal every three days", but she preached "eat three meals a day" and condemned Qin Shihuang's tyranny, so she was killed. July 15, the day she was killed, was regarded as "Magu Festival" in Tangshan, Hebei Province, and was sacrificed every year.

In most photos, Ma Gu is depicted as a beautiful young woman. However, according to Ge Hong's Biography of Immortals in Jin Dynasty, Magu and the Immortal King "have not seen each other for five hundred years", which shows that Magu's life span is at least several thousand years.

According to fairy tales, Ma Gu is from Jianchang. 5000 meters southwest of Nancheng County, there is a magnificent Magu Mountain with a height of 4500 meters. The main peaks are named after auspicious words such as longevity, such as Wanshou Peak, Wulao Peak and Qinren Peak. According to legend, this is how Magu got her.

She and the fairy king of the Eastern Han Dynasty once met here. There is a "Huixian Pavilion" on the mountain, which is said to be the place where Ma Gu and Wang met. There is also "Magu Fairy Square" on the mountain. In the Tang Dynasty, there was a temple offering sacrifices, which Taoism called "28 caves".

In 77 1 year, when Yan Zhenqing was making a secretariat of Fuzhou, he wrote "Magu Fairy Workshop" according to the records of "Fairy Biography". There used to be two books, Da * * *, and now the original books are gone. There are many specialties in Magu Mountain. Its name is related to Magu, which means longevity and good luck.
