Who is Lishan's mother in Journey to the West? Is it really the incarnation of Nu Wa on earth?

I believe many people in Journey to the West are familiar with it, but I don't know if you still remember it. At the beginning of the TV series, Shan Li's mother invited Guanyin, Manjusri and Pu Xian to be beautiful women to flirt with Tang Priest. In this, these immortals have their own origins, only the true identity of Lishan's mother is not very clear. Some people say that she is the incarnation of Nu Wa Empress on earth, so is this true? Now let's take a look.

For the mother of Mount Li, the widely circulated explanation is that the fairy in China legend called her "the mother of Mount Li" or "the grandmother of Mount Li". Lishan's mother is a fairy worshipped by Taoism, but there has been great controversy about her identity. Some people say that Shan Li's mother is actually the queen of Nu Wa, but others say that Shan Li's mother and Nu Wa are not a fairy, but fighting with each other.

It is said that Shan Li's mother is Nuwa because she, Fuxi and Shenlong were merged into "Huang San", which is one of the most primitive ancestors of human beings. At that time, Nu Wa not only went through hardships to make people, but also made a human marriage, which allowed her to reproduce. In addition, it also helps people to live and work in peace and contentment. The image of Lishan's mother is to help the poor and help others, so it gives people unlimited reverie.

Shan Li's mother was also called "Shan Li's daughter" in the history of Han Dynasty. Legend has it that Mount Li was transformed from the mount of Mount Li's mother when she was refining stones to make up the sky. There is a hot spring soup on the mountainside. Bathing in this hot spring can cure all diseases. After my mother died, people built the Loi Wo Temple on Mount Li to commemorate her. After a long time, people later called it the old mother temple. According to the "Chuangxiu Mountain Road Monument" preserved by the old mother temple so far, the temple was originally in the Qin Dynasty and was renovated and rebuilt once after the Tang Dynasty. The golden statue of the old mother Lishan enshrined in the palace is one of the most primitive ancestors of mankind and is highly respected. Xu Shen said in Shuo Wen Jie Zi: "Nu Wa, the holy woman of ancient times, is also the person who transformed everything." "Shan Hai Jing" and "Xiye Jing" also said: "Nu Wa makes great efforts to govern, not only making people, but also making up the sky." "Sincerely, the world has begun to build Pangu."

Through the references and basis of the above works, we can see that the contents of these works all think that Shan Li's mother is Nuwa, but the image of Shan Li's mother is more vivid than that of Nuwa, and the information and materials about her are more detailed. However, there is a big loophole in this statement, because it is said that Nu Wa died of physical exhaustion while mending the sky. If you have been there, the statement that Lishan's mother is Nuwa obviously doesn't make sense.

Regarding whether Shan Li's mother is a spiritual fighter, according to the mysterious "The True Sutra of Shan Li's Mother", there is such a record: "My mother is Dou Mu's mother. As the mother of the Beidou stars, she leads the stars, makes contributions to the three realms, and is born with virtue." Mother Lishan, as the mother of the Big Dipper, has a strong influence among the Chinese people. In the Taoist temple, you can generally see the incense of Lishan's mother. In folklore, Lishan's mother is worshipped by people for pointing out the fan rate, safeguarding justice, promoting social stability and harmony, and imparting various knowledge and cheats. There is such a record in Historical Records of Qin Benji. At that time, the judge said to Wang Xiao, "I used to be Li Shan's daughter and I was Rong Xuxuan's wife. When he was born, he was sent back to Zhou by relatives and friends to avoid the intrusion of the West. Xiqiao is harmonious because of its reason. " According to historians' research, Lishan's daughter was Rong Xuxuan's wife, and the formal Shang Dynasty was like the Zhou Dynasty.

I have to say that there are many legends about Lishan's mother. It is said that Shan Li's mother, Qian Qian, has thousands of disciples, and she has trained countless talents. Especially after the Tang and Song Dynasties, the image of Shan Li's mother occupies a very important position in all major operas and has cultivated many outstanding heroic sons and daughters. For example, Fan Lihua in the Tang Dynasty, the White Snake before the Snake, Zhu Yingtai in Hu Die and so on. These are Li Shan's mother's apprentices. Moreover, it is said that when Li Bai was a child, the old woman who saw the needle grinding was Shan Li's old mother. Just once, Li Bai realized the true meaning of life.

No matter whether Li Shan's mother is a woman, an ideological fighter or some other immortal, the original intention of people circulating legends about her will never change. As long as the essence is still there, you can make up stories.
