His name is Mikeng, and he is also revered by later generations as Peng Zu. According to legend, even ghosts can't help him. Because his name doesn't exist in the book of life and death, he wants to tease me. So what kind of person is the real Peng Zu?
Even Zhuangzi Lao Tzu admires Peng Zu, whose career is grounded. What did Peng Zu do for a living? In fact, he is a real cook. At first, he followed Emperor Yao's side in order to recuperate his body with delicious food.
Emperor Yao managed water every day, and one day he was overwhelmed and collapsed in bed. Peng Zu cooked a bowl of chicken soup with her cooking skills. It is said that at that time, Emperor Yao just smelled chicken soup and jumped out of bed eagerly. A bowl of chicken soup will refresh you immediately.
So Emperor Yao remembered Peng Zu's great contribution and gave him Peng Cheng, now Xuzhou, Jiangsu. The name of Peng Zu came from this. He is the ancestor of Cheng Peng and Shi Peng. It can be said that Peng Zu is the 1 recorded "cook" in history. Now many chefs worship Peng Zu as their granddaddy.
What's magical about the bowl of chicken soup that Peng Zu cooked for Yao Di? The key point is one thing-the seed of the fruit of the tree, which is also commonly known as tea seed. Emperor Yao can live to be 1 1 8 years old, and people attribute the credit to this magical food.
What kept Peng Zu alive for more than 80 years? Is it true?/You don't say. /You don't say. Peng Zu's life span in his 80s is not groundless. It turns out that the way of timing in ancient times is very different from now.
At that time, it was very popular to use "small flower nails" to calculate age. There are sixty stars in the sky. The rotation method of stars in one day completed a cycle in 6 0 days. So people at that time took 6 0 days as a year. According to the current age counting method, Peng Zu is actually over 30 years old/kloc-0.
Speaking of which, the secret of Peng Zu's longevity came out. But not to mention that in ancient times, it was very rare to put it at the present age 13 0 years old.
However, the literature also says that Peng Zu experienced four Nine Emperors. This inevitably makes people wonder, how old did Peng Zu live?
In fact, there is another saying among the people. It is said that Peng Zu experienced Yao, Shun, Yu, Xia and Shang Dynasties, but Peng Zu was not the only one mentioned. Peng clan, as long as live long, is called Peng Zu. If this is really the case, then the rumor that Peng Zuli had the experience of emperor 4 9 makes sense.
Peng Zu is not only a gourmet, but also a health care master. He pays great attention to the maintenance of his mentality and has almost always been in a state of no desire or desire. He also pays attention to physical exercise, and his schedule and eating habits are very regular. So it is understandable that Peng Zu is so old.
Many interesting myths and legends are related to Peng Zu, perhaps the worship of Peng Zu, and a lot of fairy tales about him spread slowly. According to legend, Peng Zu is a fairy-level figure, and he can only go to earth after lusting after the world of mortals. Afraid that the Jade Emperor would find his own, he tore down the page with his name in the book of life and death.
Then he twisted the page into a thin paper rope and hid it in the book of life and death. It was foolproof, but it happened that he talked about it with his last wife. Later, this word reached the jade emperor's ears. So the ghost finally took Peng Zu's soul. At this time, he has lived for more than 80 years.
There is a more interesting rumor. Peng Zu is an indifferent person by nature and never pursues fame and fortune. Later, I simply resigned and lived in Wuyishan.
After living in seclusion, he reclaimed wasteland and planted grain and tea every day. In particular, the tea tree he cultivated can brew the most fragrant tea in the world. One day, Peng Zu was making tea and washing his hands, and the fragrance of tea floated all over Wuyishan in an instant. Seven immortals, including Zhong Liquan, who passed by here, were attracted by the fragrance of tea. After tasting the fragrant tea, the seven immortals gave him a life span of 80 0 years as a gift.
Later, Peng Zu died, and even his graveyard became a legend. There are Peng Zu's tomb sites in 6 places in China. Later, after corresponding historical research, it was determined that only Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province is the real cemetery in Peng Zu. The other five places are its cenotaph, and these five places are also places where Peng Zu once traveled. The cenotaph was set up to show respect for Peng Zu.
With these myths and legends, people gradually regarded Peng Zu as a mythical figure. For example, there is a record of Peng Zu in the Biography of Immortals in the Western Han Dynasty. There are also Peng Zu's classics, which record his practice. Peng Zu was called the originator of chef, the master of health preservation and the master of Qigong by later generations, and related Juexue was told by later generations.
