Historical legend

Zhao Gongming, the God of wealth, is a household name. On the fifth and twenty second of the first lunar month, about a quarter of the people in the world worship him. (1) Zhao Gongming in historical documents 1. He was first seen in the Jin Dynasty, when he was the God of supervising ghosts. Jin Ganbao's "Soushenji" says: "God takes three generals, Zhao Gongming and Zhong Shiji, and each of them takes people from the ghosts.". According to Tao Qian of Jin Dynasty, Zhao Xuantan, a native of Qin Dynasty, got his way from Zhongnan mountain. The true patent by Tao Hongjing of Liang Dynasty. In the Xiechang period, there is a saying: "the emperor of heaven told Zhao Gongming, the five gods of Zhiqi in tuxiazhong, that a certain country was a thousand years old. He was born with the spirit of halal, and he was in charge of the holy palace. He was willing to break the taboos, and he was not allowed to harm the spirit.". "The complete biography of the immortals" of the Ming Dynasty says: "Zhao Gongming was the commander of eight ghosts. Zhou Xingren killed all the people violently, and the emperor ordered Zhang Tianshi to rule him.". 2. In the yuan and Ming Dynasties, Zhao Guangming became the God of wealth. In the yuan and Ming Dynasties, it is said in the collection of the origins of the three religions: "Zhao Gongming, a native of Zhongnanshan, wears an iron crown, holds an iron whip, has a black face and four beards. Across the black tiger, he was awarded a marshal of Xuantan. It can drive thunder and electricity, call the wind and rain, eliminate pestilence and malaria, and eliminate diseases and disasters. If there is a case of unjust redress, it can explain fairness, seek wealth in business, make profits and make peace, and have no dissatisfaction. ". Zhao Gongming in Lu Xixing's Fengshen Yanyi in Ming Dynasty appeared in the 46th chapter "guangchengzi broke the golden light array". Taiyi real person cracked Wen Taishi's "huaxue array", and Wen Taishi had nothing to do. I suddenly remember Zhao Gongming of Luofu cave in Mount Emei. He rode the Black Unicorn, hung the Golden Whip and went to Luofu cave. Invite them to help. Zhao Gong and Ming then went down to help Zhou resist Zhou. Although Gongming had excellent martial arts, he was killed by Taigong. After the destruction of the Shang Dynasty, the grand duke named Gongming the true king of the Golden Dragon Ruyi Zhengyi dragon Huxuan altar. He was in charge of "Yingxiang Nafu", commanding Zhaobao Tianzun, Nazhen Tianzun, Zhaocai emissary and Lishi xianguan, and taking charge of all the gold and silver treasures in the world. 3. The origin of Zhao Gongming's past life: the record of classics: Zhao Guangming is the essence of the sun. In ancient times, ten days appeared in the sky, and Yao ordered Yi to shoot nine days. On the 8th, he fell into Qingcheng and became the king of ghosts. He became ill and hurt people. Zhao Guangming is the only one who has become an adult, riding a black tiger, holding a silver whip and living in seclusion in Shu. Later, Zhang Daoling, the master of heaven, asked him to guard the Danshi. After Dancheng, he got a share of it, which changed a lot and increased his mana greatly. The master of heaven also made him protect Xuantan, so he was called "marshal of Xuantan". After the Heavenly Master ascended to heaven, he was recommended to heaven and granted the title of "heavenly general". In the early Ming Dynasty, Wang Yu, the magistrate of Ningbo, wrote in the notes to the collection of gold and stone of Langya: "the God of wealth has a surname of Zhao, a name of Lang, and a name of Gongming. In the past, ten days were born in the sky, and the emperor ordered Yi to shoot nine days. The eight immortals fall into the sea and the eight immortals on the sea. Yu Yi's body is a stone, and the sun stone is also. Zhao Gongming is also a man. After growing up, he went to Mount Emei to practice and gain the skill of immortals. In the battle of Shang and Zhou dynasties, he was invited by Wen Taishi to go down the mountain to help Shang, and was killed by Taigong. Taigong was granted the title of God in Qishan, Lang was granted the title of real king in Xuantan, and the essence of the sun returned to Tiantai, so the real Yang was attached to the stone, and the spirit and body were integrated. It has jurisdiction over Zhaobao Tianzun, Nazhen Tianzun, Zhaocai emissary and Lishi xianguan. It is responsible for the auspiciousness and happiness in the world. After that, there was a temple under the stone for the position of the real king, and Tiantai Mountain was also renamed Caishan Yan. Wang Li, who lived at the foot of Tiantai Mountain in Langya, was known as the "Empress of burying soup". According to the biography of Wang Yao in the history of Ming Dynasty, Wang Yao was born in Rizhao. He has a broad knowledge of classics and history, especially in the spring and Autumn period. He is fond of Jinshi and Puxue, and good at calligraphy. As a new professor, he was relegated to a distant place. At the end of Hongwu's reign, he was recommended to Ningbo magistrate by his talents. He was frugal, eating fish soup for one day. He said to his wife, "if you don't remember when I ate grass roots?" The life withdraws but buries it, the person number "buries the soup to be too Shou". (2) Zhao Gongming, the God of wealth in folk belief, believed in the God of wealth far earlier than the list of gods. There is "the God of wealth..."... Langya has existed since ancient times. However, the universal worship of the God of wealth should be after the publication of the list of gods. According to the folk customs of different places, the God of wealth in folk belief was Zhao Gongming, who was granted the title of God by Taigong. (3) the origin of Zhao Gongming, the God of wealth. 1. Zhao Gongming was a native of Zhongnanshan in Shaanxi Province in the Qin Dynasty, according to the postscript of SouShen and the complete collection of SouShen. It was later than the time when Jiang Taigong was appointed as the God in the list of gods, so Zhao Gongming was not Zhao Gongming, the God of wealth granted by Jiang Taigong. 2. In Yao Dynasty, Zhao Gongming was granted by Jiang Taigong, and Zhao Gongming's records of ancient books and notes on the gold and stone of Langya: Zhao Gongming was born in Langya in Yao Dynasty. This is consistent with Zhao Gongming, the God of wealth in the list of gods. First, time is the same. In Yao Dynasty, Dayi shot at the sun, and one of the Japanese elites was Zhao Gongming. Zhao Gongming went to Emei Mountain to practice, and then went down to help merchants. He was killed by the general Taigong and became a God. Second, geography is in line with culture. Zhao Gongming is one of the "Japanese elites". Langya is the ancient "land of offering sacrifices to the sun god, the hometown of Huang Lao Cheng Xian" (Zhang Xingjian, the number one scholar in Rizhao Jin Dynasty), and also the birthplace of Taigong. Langya area of Qi was a nation worshiping the sun god in prehistory, which was proved by the pottery inscriptions and historical documents 5000 years ago. "Jinwu negating the sun" comes from the book of mountains and seas: "there are buttresses in the Tang Valley, which come in one day and come out in one day, all of which are recorded in Wu.". "Xihe, the wife of emperor Jun, was born ten days"; "there is Fusang in Tanggu, which was bathed ten days, in the north of Heichi. Living in the water, there is a big wood, which lives in the lower branch on the ninth day, and in the upper branch on the first day. "In the spring and Autumn period and Yuan Dynasty, Mingbao said:" Yang is formed in three, so there is a sanshuwu in the sun. Wu, Yang essence. Just as human beings have body and soul, "Sun Essence" or "Yang essence" is the soul of the sun. Zhao Gongming is the cultural background of "rijing". Thirdly, the plot of Wang Yao's "notes on Langya Jinshi" is similar to that of "Fengshenbang", but the "notes on Langya Jinshi" was written in Hongwu (1368-1398) or Jianwen (1399-1402) of Ming Dynasty, and "Fengshenbang" was written between Longqing (1567-1572) and Wanli (1573-1620) of Ming Dynasty, with a difference of more than 100 years. It shows that the plot of Fengshenbang comes from the legend of Langya in Qi. Fourth, the God of wealth, the God of Taoism, came from Fangxiandao before Taoism, and Langya in Qi was the source of Fangxiandao. Tiantai Mountain is the place where the founder of Fangxiandao, heshanggong and Anqi, learned and taught. Conclusion: from the origin of Zhao Gongming, the God of wealth, Zhao Gongming should be the God of Jiang Taigong. The temple of God of wealth in Tiantai Mountain of Langya may be the first one to offer sacrifices to Zhao Gongming, the God of wealth in China. (4) Zhao Gongming of Zhongnanshan and Zhao Gongming of Tiantai Mountain in Langya analyzed the above conclusion, which did not overturn the theory that Zhao Gongming of Zhongnanshan was the God of wealth in Qin Dynasty. It is only considered that Zhao Gongming was not Zhao Gongming granted by Jiang Taigong. China has a vast territory, and its culture has always been multi-source. There are different legends about the God of wealth in Zhongnan mountain and Tiantai Mountain of Langya in Shaanxi Province.
