Tell me the story of the four Taoist marshals.

In the myth of the four Taoist marshals, the gatekeeper of Nantianmen was named "Marshal" because of various conditions. Due to various records, it may be that the gatekeepers of Nantianmen frequently change shifts, so the four gatekeepers of Nantianmen have several opinions.

1. Marshal Ma, Zhao, Wen and Guan said that there were many novels in Ming and Qing Dynasties, which was a great skill of Taoist masters. The romance of Sanfu eunuch, which is popular in the west, describes "asking God" and says that he "takes out the token, holds it in his hand, knocks it three times in a row, and shouts:" Open the door with one blow, crack the door with two blows, and strike the horse, Zhao and Guan with three blows. "After knocking the token three times, I burned the flying symbol twice in a hurry. Suddenly I heard a loud noise in the air, and the four gods were hoisted from the sound: "They are the same length, 36 feet long; They are as big as the same size, with a circumference of 18. " (13th time)

Among the four marshals, Marshal Ma is an extremely clever marshal, who "smiles with eyes wide open", that is, the protagonist of Travel Notes to the South, Wang; Marshal Zhao is "holding hands and sitting as a gorgeous tiger"; Marshal Guan is Guan Yu, and there is a poem to prove it: the green scarf with phoenix wings sparks everywhere, and the three beards are scattered behind the head. The lying silkworm wrinkles cold liver and gallbladder, and the phoenix eyes are wide open, and ghosts are afraid. Qinglong Dao was stunned for a long time and passed through the red rabbit altar. "Marshal Wen is, this person was originally the ministry of Emperor Dongyue. Because of his bravery, he got the special favor of the Jade Emperor.

2. Marshal Ma, Zhao, Wen and Thursday said. In A Dream of Red Mansions, it was mentioned that nobody cared about the Grand View Garden, so Jia She invited a Taoist priest to do it, so there were statues of Ma, Zhao, Wen and Thursday. Guan Yu here is replaced by Zhou Guangze. Probably because the Qing Dynasty especially admired Guan Yu and put him in the worse gate to lower the special status of "warrior sage", it was added to the list.

Third, Marshal Yue, Zhao, Wen and Kang said that Yue was Yue Fei. According to Yue Chuan, Yue Fei was born as a golden-winged bird, at the top of the Tathagata. Of course, after death, I will return to Tathagata and remain a bodhisattva. What is a god? Because the novel is called Marshal Yue, it is unknown whether it will be transplanted. Marshal Kang's name is also a black pine forest monster, and later he belongs to Zhenwu Emperor. He was named "Marshal Ren Shengkang" by the Jade Emperor. The Three Religions' Searching for God encyclopedia says that he has always been merciful and didn't hurt ants. "All directions call him a benevolent person, which is well known in the world", so he has the reputation of "benevolent". Now Changhua and Chiayi in Taiwan Province Province, as well as Marshal Kang and Marshal Zhao, are all in resplendent temples for worship.

Four, the four kings said that according to Buddhist scriptures, the four kings should be the four kings living in the four treasures of Sumeru. But the four heavenly kings mentioned here are not borrowed from Buddha's land, but the four heavenly kings sealed by Jiang Ziya in "Feng Shen". They are growth kings, big-eyed kings Molihong, famous kings and national kings. "Today, they will be named the Four Kings. Responsible for favorable weather "(hundredth time). They may have been sent by the Jade Emperor to guard the worse gate. When the Monkey King first went to heaven, he "went out of the worse place first". Just about to collect the clouds, Wang Pang, Liu, Gou, Bi, Deng, Xin, Zhang, Tao, etc., who were growing up, led them all the way to Tianding, blocked the worse gate with guns, knives and halberds, and refused to put them in. Later, I also guarded the Monkey King in the East Gate and watched the Eight Diagrams Array in Wanshou Mountain. It was also when Ren Bi Marvin "won a game with the Growth King in the East Gate" that the sleepy boy escaped with the guarding boy. (back to the 25th).
