The Eight Immortals are well known, among which Lv Dongbin is the most powerful and influential.
In folklore, the story about Lu's three plays "Bai Mudan" is talked about by people, and many folk romantic spring pictures like to take it as the theme, as the wardrobe of young couples and as the course of sexual enlightenment. Although the intention is good, it makes people wonder why a kind fairy should do such a shameful thing.
In the myth system, the premise of becoming immortal is to cut off the "three corpses" and get rid of the "secular desires". No matter whether immortals or immortals are divorced, it is forbidden to get married and not have children (not counting before becoming immortals). The ambiguous relationship between men and women is considered taboo. However, Lv Dongbin, who was reincarnated as Emperor Donghua, was different from other indifferent and withdrawn immortals. On the contrary, he especially likes traveling around the world, rolling in the dust, drinking the world's fine wine and making friends with pink girls. Left such a well-known quatrain.
28 beauty crisp, waist full of swords to cut ordinary people. Although there is no head drop, it teaches people that the bone marrow is dry. Pink lady has a good figure, so don't recognize it as a good marriage when you meet her. Look at how many people are greedy for flowers, and cut their ages if they don't cut their fame. Love-abandoning thousands of things for temporary pleasure, regardless of moral damage and disaster, love waves begin with disability.
Dear, it is immortal to say that things between men and women are so fresh and refined, but is it appropriate for immortals to say so?
This matter has to be traced back to three folk stories.
According to legend, after Lv Dongbin became immortal, he met a pangolin whose skill was far superior to his own. He practiced for 5,000 years, endangering the world and making people miserable.
After the guidance of Venus Taibai, Lv Dongbin learned that if he wanted to get rid of this monster, he had to borrow the Hosta on the Queen Mother's head. This Hosta has many origins, but it is all transformed from ancient artifacts and is the nemesis of pangolin.
After careful consideration, Lv Dongbin decided to ask the Peony Fairy who served the Queen Mother for help, asking her to lend the Hosta to collect demons.
At the flat peach party, when I first met Mr. Peony, Lv Dongbin took advantage of it and touched the fairy's hand lightly. Fairy peony was so ashamed that his mind was rippling, and his face was as red as peach blossom. This is a play.
Fairy peony offered a flat peach on a plate, and Lv Dongbin secretly pressed the plate, which made fairy peony's heart beat faster, like a deer bumping into her arms. This is the second play.
These two intimate contacts touched the fairy peony once and made her curious about the love between men and women. Lv Dongbin conveniently offered to borrow the Western Queen's Hosta, and after being exorcised, he helped fairy peony to visit the world.
Fairy Peony agreed, came down to earth with the help of Lv Dongbin, became a graceful and enchanting woman, and had a blushing relationship with Lv Dongbin. So there are three stories of Lv Dongbin's fairy peony.
Historically, Lv Dongbin was a real person. He is from the Tang Dynasty. He was awarded the county magistrate as a scholar, and was later dismissed by Han Zhong. Since then, he has become a Taoist priest and one of the "Eight Immortals" in folklore.
Taoism emphasizes health preservation and advocates alchemy and guidance. Lv Dongbin inherited the Taoist thought of "double cultivation of life" in the past, and thought that "sleeping when hungry and sleeping when sleepy" was also the way to cultivate Buddhism; At the same time, we abandoned the previous practice of external alchemy and changed it to internal alchemy. He combined the "research results" of past dynasties and wrote the book "Room Art", which formed a complete theoretical and practical operating system and was handed down from generation to generation.
But unfortunately, due to various reasons, Lv Dongbin's mysticism is unknown here. You can search for it yourself, which is absolutely informative.
It is because of Lv Dongbin's creativity that The Book of Rites of the Duke of Zhou was developed into a technique of immortality and became a Taoist immortal with many followers.
In the eyes of future generations, Lv Dongbin is one of the few immortals with both divinity and personality. Although he is cynical and traverses the beautiful scenery of the world, it does not prevent him from becoming the ancestor of Quanzhen religion and becoming a fairy who has both Guanyin and Bodhisattva.
