Taibai Venus is one of the most famous gods in Chinese folk beliefs and Taoist immortals. In the Taoist mythology system, he is only the messenger of the Jade Emperor.
It is said that he is a kind old man with white hair. He is loyal and kind. His main position is the special envoy of the Jade Emperor. He is responsible for conveying all kinds of orders, so he is loved by people.
Yin and Yang thought that he was the God of martial arts, in charge of war and the main killer. As long as Venus appears at a special time and region, it is a symbol of "sky change", a precursor to the outbreak of revolution or government variation, and represents that something big is going to happen. The annals of astronomy in the Han Dynasty: "Taibai Sutra is the world's revolution and the king of the people." before the change of the Xuanwu Gate in the Tang Dynasty, Fu Yi, the Taishi Ling, played a secret song by Tang Gaozu: "if Taibai sees the division of Qin, the king of Qin should have the world." Li Shimin, the king of Qin, did not forget this after he ascended the throne.

Taibai Venus, whose name is related to Venus. Taibai, Venus, two names and one reality. Too white is Venus. Also known as Qiming, Changgeng, star. According to Shi Xiaoya Dadong, "there is Qiming in the East and Changgeng in the West." "there are Venus in Qiming and Changgeng in the West." in addition, according to Shiji tianguanshu, "observing the sun and walking in order to deal with Taibai." justice quoted tianguanzhan as saying: "Taibai is the essence of western gold, the son of the White Emperor, the Duke, and the image of the great general."
In ancient times, gold stars were seen in the East, which was called "Qiming". Xi was located in the west, which was called "Changgeng". The book of songs said, "Qiming in the East and Changgeng in the west". In the theory of Yin-Yang school, Taibai Venus is the God of war, and ancient poems and essays often refer to military warfare.
In journey to the west, there is a saying that Taibai Jinxing (Li Changgeng) ordered the Jade Emperor to send an edict to Sun Wukong.
Taibai is Venus, which is the deification of the Apocalypse star in the sky. There were many Venus gods in ancient times. The Venus God of the Han and Jin Dynasties is the beautiful young white Emperor son in tianguanzhan and shiyiji. His appearance is extremely vulgar and the image of a great general. Sometimes he also acts as Jinde Xingjun in Haohe Baixia clothes in Taoism (the general of the main knife soldier is killed). Taoism also has other Jinde Xingjun, monkey head and chicken body. The Venus God of the Tang Dynasty is the goddess in yellow, wearing a chicken crown and playing the pipa in the tantric seven Yao bustling disaster resolution (Si Xu disaster disease has nothing to do with war). The God of Venus in the Ming Dynasty was Li Changgeng, an old white bearded old man in journey to the West. He held a clean and soft dust brush in his hand. He entered the road and was far away. His divine personality was high (it had nothing to do with the war). The Venus Venus, who is also a Venus God, also mentioned the taibaijiu star who was close to Sun Simiao in Tang Yi Shi. They are four strange spirits who have been chatting in the Shu area for drinking. Guangyi Ji also mentioned an old man who also haunted Sichuan and called himself the "God of Taibai Mountain" who could summon God tigers. And the deified Taibai immortal Li Bai.
Taibai Venus often appears in some influential classical novels. The most famous is journey to the west, but it is not respected and valued. The recent eighth rate TV dramas insult its bad plot. Li Changgeng, named in journey to the west, is a famous star in heaven. He has broad mana and is kind. Sun Wukong broke into the underworld and made trouble in the Dragon Palace. The Jade Emperor was about to send troops for conscription. Taibai Jinxing interceded for Wu Kong and suggested that Wu Kong be appointed Bi Mawen to manage the Royal horse. When the monkey king rebelled against the heavenly palace, it was Venus who came forward to recruit the envoy and sealed the monkey king as the saint of heaven and managed the flat peach garden. Later, on the way to learn from the west, Chang Geng Xing secretly helped the four masters and disciples defeat the yellow wind monster and sweep the lion camel cave. He was a kind and good old man.
In the face of foreign invasion, the rulers in history always have the main war faction and the main peace faction. For various reasons, people often understand the moderates as capitulationists; Most of the peace advocates are villains, linking them with detestable people such as Qin Hui, while the war advocates are often understood as heroes. There are some exceptions to the white Venus of the moderates in journey to the West. Contrary to the ugly face of the moderates, she is a kind and kind old man.
In journey to the west, few people can win the respect of the monkey king. For the Jade Emperor in power, he called him the old son of the Jade Emperor; For the supreme old gentleman, he almost made fun of him; For the Tathagata, they only fear him rather than respect him, and laugh at the Tathagata as "the nephew of the monster"; He even called the gods in the heavenly palace around. Only Guanyin Bodhisattva and Taibai Venus are respected by Wukong. Wukong's respect for Guanyin Bodhisattva comes from his help and guidance, while his respect for Taibai Venus is largely due to Taibai Venus's superb communication art and simple personality charm. Taibai Venus is not only respected by Wukong, but also loved by readers. Old Mr. Wu Chengen's depiction of Taibai Venus deserves our special attention. We know that many of the monsters who obstructed the great cause of learning scriptures in the 9981 difficulty in the West are the mounts, children and pets of celestial immortals, and Taibai Venus has absolutely no such bad record.

Taibai Jinxing's handling ability is undoubtedly outstanding, which makes him competent to recruit "Imperial Envoys". Wukong "robbed" the Dragon King and bullied the king of hell, which alerted the heaven. The Jade Emperor ordered to encircle Huaguo Mountain. It was Taibai Jinxing who immediately started to play. It was suggested to recruit Sun Wukong. The great emperor of the Jade Emperor announced the civil and military immortals and asked, "how old is this demon monkey? What generation was born, but it's so wise?" before saying a word, the class flashed a thousand mile eye and whispered, "this monkey was a stone monkey born three hundred years ago. At that time, I didn't think so. I don't know where to refine into an immortal, subdue the dragon and subdue the tiger, and force the dead." the Jade Emperor said, "which God will subdue the lower world?" Before the speech, Taibai Changgeng star flashed in the class, fell down and began to play: "Anyone with nine orifices in the three holy worlds can cultivate immortality. However, this monkey is a body bred by heaven and earth and pregnant by the sun and the moon. He also walks on the earth and takes the dew meal glow. Now he has cultivated the fairy way and has the ability to subdue dragons and subdue tigers. How different from others? Your majesty, you can read the kindness of Biochemistry and send a decree to invite him to the upper world and grant him an official position and bind him with his name Here, if you are ordered by heaven, you will be rewarded later; if you violate heaven's order, you will be arrested. First, you will not attract all the teachers, and second, there is a way to accept immortals. "The Jade Emperor was very happy when he heard the speech and said," according to what Qing played. "That is, the Wenqu star official revised the imperial edict and greeted with Taibai Venus.

Taibai Jinxing's performance was very in line with the Jade Emperor's psychology at that time: on the one hand, the Jade Emperor was unwilling to send troops to fight; on the other hand, in the face of the complaints of the Dragon King and the king of hell, he also wanted to be the master and vent his anger to his men. Taibai Jinxing's recruitment strategy just solved the Jade Emperor's embarrassment. Taibai Jinxing admitted that Wukong was conceived by heaven and earth and should be recruited for heaven, which made Zhao'an reasonable Of course. So the Jade Emperor was very pleased and approved it immediately. It should be said that Taibai Jinxing was very good at grasping the Jade Emperor's psychology, so that the recruitment plan could be implemented smoothly. In terms of tone, the Jade Emperor felt that he was recruiting from his perspective, preaching the divine power of heaven and affirming his absolute leadership. As soon as Taibai Jinxing arrived at Huaguo Mountain, he immediately changed his role and put down the "imperial envoy" Wukong likes to affirm his name. He opens his mouth and closes his mouth. The king makes Wukong happy to give a banquet, and immediately agrees to go to heaven with Taibai Jinxing to accept Zhao'an. In fact, Zhao'an is a seemingly simple but actually difficult thing. The main reason is that Wukong was born without hierarchy and lack of understanding of social power. Do you want him to connect The Dragon King, the "director of the water resources bureau", dares to "rob" and will not pay attention to any "imperial envoy". If Taibai Jinxing acts according to the rules and greets Wukong in a gracious way, it will not work. Wukong must be invited to the heavenly palace as an official in an equal and respectful tone before he can accept it. If he does not do so, he will not succeed, even "imperial envoy" Will be beaten by Wukong. If we grasp Wukong's competitive nature, like flattery from others, and take advantage of his weakness of character, we can do things. Taibai Jinxing has a very accurate grasp of Wukong's psychology, and has resolved a fight with excellent communication art. The second recruitment was also successful.
The success of Taibai Venus lies in his outstanding role as a mediator rather than an imperial envoy who pretends to be a tiger. He praises the Jade Emperor in front of the Jade Emperor and flatters and praises the Wukong in front of the Wukong. On the surface, he seems to be "cheating" In fact, it is a necessary diplomatic means. Under his successful mediation, the Jade Emperor and Wukong turned war into friendship, which is good for both sides.

On the way to get scriptures, the Tang monk was caught in the bottomless cave of the empty mountain. The female goblin was the dry daughter of the king of tota. When Wukong knew the truth, he went to the heaven to sue the goddaughter of the king of tota for laxity. The Jade Emperor asked Taibai Jinxing to confront the king of tota with Wukong. Unexpectedly, the king of tota forgot everything about his daughter hundreds of years ago. He thought it was a false accusation by Wukong and ordered someone to bind her Wukong remembered it after Nezha reminded him. He was caught by Wukong this time. Wukong would not spare him. He had to ask the Jade Emperor for an explanation. The king of tota had to ask Taibai Jinxing to intercede. Taibai Jinxing knew that Wukong had a clear love and hate and knew how to repay his kindness, so he asked Wukong to give himself a face. Wukong really agreed and let the king of tota forget his past mistakes. Let Wukong "withdraw his lawsuit" from the Jade Emperor , how did Taibai Venus do it? Let's take a look at Taibai Venus's advice: Venus said: "One day, the official affairs were fought ten days. You sued the imperial court and said that the goblin was the daughter of the heavenly king. The heavenly king said no. you two just debated in front of the imperial court and kept repeating. I said that one day in the sky, the lower boundary is a year. During this year, the goblin trapped your master in a hole, not to mention marriage. If a son who likes flowers and gave birth to a little monk, it would not miss a big event?" The walker bowed his head and thought, "yes! I left Bajie monk Sha and only said that I would come back when the rice was cooked and the tea rolled when I was young. It has been half a while now, but it's not too late. Old officer, how can I pay back according to your will?" Venus said: "teach King Li to call troops and go down with you to subdue demons. I'll answer the order." the Walker said, "how do you return?" Venus said: "I only said that the plaintiff escaped, but the defendant was exempted." Walker said with a smile, "OK! I just see your face, but you said I escaped! Teach him to call troops and wait for me at the South Tianmen gate, and I'll return the order with you." the heavenly king was afraid: "if he goes, it's a minister who backs the king." Walker said: "What kind of person do you think Lao sun is? I'm also a big husband! A word comes out, and it's hard to recover. Is there any slander against you?" the king thanked walker, who replied with Venus.
Wukong is already very smart, but Taibai Venus can induce Wukong to "withdraw the lawsuit", which makes him win many times, and people have to admire the diplomat's talent.
