It is the prequel of Lotus Lantern that makes people roughly form the present concept. Legend has it that Yao Ji, the sister of the Jade Emperor, came to earth and killed Shen Jiao. After marrying Yang Tianyou, she gave birth to three children, namely Yang Jiao, Yang Jian and Yang Chan. The Jade Emperor ordered them to be taken back, killed Yang Tianyou and Yang Jiao, and put Yao Ji at the foot of Taoshan Mountain. Yang Jian and Yang Chan escaped.
Although Yang Jian split Taoshan after studying to save Yao Ji, Yao Ji was killed by the jade emperor's ten sons-ten suns. Grieving Yang Jian killed nine suns. In desperation, the Jade Emperor named him a sage, the true king of Erlang, the god of justice, and named Yang Chan the Three Virgin.
Jiro's so-called lang is an honorific title to God. Lang refers to a handsome man, and the official explanation of Lang is a young man. In ancient poems and novels, lang also refers to handsome men.
Jiro's "Lang" is also listed here, not a ranking word between brothers and sisters. A record in Mo Zhuang Man Lu is the name of a god in Tang and Song Dynasties.
It was named after God by the common people: "Give it as much as possible to everyone who is angry with the southern shrine." Lu Guimeng said that the resolute and deep is called a general, the gentle and willing is called a certain lang, the dignified is called a grandmother, and the gorgeous is called an aunt. " Therefore, Jiro's "Lang" is the honorific title of a young and just god. In Song Dynasty, Erlang God was called Langjun God.

The image of Erlang God in Journey to the West makes people feel that his character is very free and easy. He "only listens to the tune, not to the propaganda", which shows that he despises the "heaven" and does not want to rely on the reputation of the Jade Emperor. Moreover, he is loyal, but not arrogant, so he is followed by the six Meishan brothers and the roaring dog.
Handsome and handsome, with light on the earlobe and shoulders. Wearing a three-mountain flying phoenix hat and a light goose yellow collar.
Golden boots lined with dragon socks, jade belt with eight treasures makeup. Hanging a slingshot around his waist, holding a three-pointed two-edged gun, a crescent moon.
The axe split Huashan once saved the mother, and the zūng bullet hit the phoenix. It is well known to punish the eight eccentrics, and joining the Seven Saints of Meishan is just so.
The heart is too high to recognize heaven, and the sex is proud to live in the river. Chicheng Zhao Hui Ling Ying Sheng, it is clear that the vast Jiro.
This poem is a description of Jiro Zhenjun in The Journey to the West. Erlang God is the nephew of the Jade Emperor. He saved his mother by cutting down mountains, shooting phoenixes, killing eight monsters and making friends with Meishan.
Jiro's mother, the jade emperor's sister, thought of the lower bound, married a man named Yang, and gave birth to Jiro. The jade emperor put Erlang's mother under Taoshan to think about it. When Yang Erlang grew up, he "chopped the peach mountain with an axe" and rescued his mother. The detailed story of shooting the phoenix, killing the Eight Monsters and making friends with Meishan has been lost.
Erlang was born in a noble family, but because he was too proud to rely on the reputation of the Jade Emperor, he didn't associate with heaven at ordinary times, just like the rich second generation didn't want to rely on family strength and wanted to work hard on their own, so he had an inspirational spirit. So he just "listened to the tone but didn't listen to the announcement" to the jade emperor, which means obeying the arrangement of government affairs and military affairs and not wanting to be too close in private.
The Jade Emperor named Erlang as "hero, hero, hero, sage and king". Concerned about the war situation between Erlang God and the Monkey King, the Jade Emperor took Daozu and Guanyin to the worse heaven. Erlang God converted to Taoism, with the name "Qingyuan Miao Dao Zhen Jun". He lives in Jiro Temple in Guankou, where he receives incense from the lower world and solves problems for all the people. He was accompanied by six Meishan friends in front of the account, collectively known as the Seven Saints of Meishan.
He has 1200 Cao Tou gods under his command. Six friends of Meishan: Kang Anyu, Zhang, Li, Yao, Guo Shen and Zhi Jian.
