Who knows the origin of the so-called Jiangdong God born on the eighth day of the second lunar month in Taoism? If there is any information I can find, I will add high marks.

There are many magical legends about this "Jiangdong God" in history, which are reflected in the humanistic writings of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. For example, the article "Jiangdong Temple" written by Song Lian, a famous minister in the early Ming Dynasty, vividly describes the stories of 16 Jiangdong gods, including the story of Jiangdong God and General Guan Ying in the Han Dynasty:

In the sixth year of Emperor Gaozu, he was sent to Jiangnan and Jiangxi to close the camp. Jiangxi belongs to Zhang Yu County and borders on Nanyue. By Wei Tuokou's side, the baby will hit the soldier, and God will come to the top of the mountain and tell Jack. He has made meritorious service, and the museum god is in Chongfu, which people call Shigu Wang Miao. "In this story," Chongfuli "is the old name of social welfare, which shows that the belief of" Jiangdong God "has a long history in social welfare.

In the Song Dynasty, various stories about the appearance of Jiangdong gods sprang up like mushrooms after rain. Of the 16 stories recorded in Song Lian's Biography of Jiangdong Temple, 12 stories took place in the Song Dynasty. For example, in the Song Dynasty, Jiangdong Shenjianyan used Yin soldiers to scare off nomads and protect the Queen Mother Longyou who fled to Ganzhou. In the twenty-seventh year of Shaoxing, he helped the viceroy to control Li Geng and annihilate the imperial army and Yamaguchi rebellion.

For three years, less help Jingxiang army, Chen Long crusade against Zhu Guang, Chen Da and other rebellions; In the seventh year of Chunyou, he helped Zheng eliminate the Lujia rebellion in Hunan; Chunyou helped Yao Xide, a military supervisor, to pacify the miracle of Cui Zhibian in Anyuan for nine years.

The establishment of "orthodox worship" in Song Dynasty was one of the important measures taken by the imperial court to treat folk beliefs. At that time, the government established a huge official sacrificial system by giving titles to many folk gods and temples and inscribed the names of temples.

In this vigorous national "God Worship Movement", the "Jiangdong God" who performed miracles many times was also awarded temple names such as "Xianqing" and "Zhaolie" many times during Jiayou to Shaoxing, thus being included in the official sacrifice system.

The title of the imperial court aroused people's worship of Jiangdong God, and people from all directions came here in an endless stream to pray. During the Song Dynasty, Putian, who was then the East Commandant of Ganxian County, wrote 100 poems for Shengji Temple in Ganxian County in order to satisfy the wishes of pilgrims, and later included them in Daozang.

There are 65,438+000 spiritual signs, which are divided into three parts: poem sign (seven words), interpretation (four words) and sacred meaning (three words). The signature only has the serial number, not the words of good or bad. This pattern is different from other existing supernatural signs, and it should be the earlier one.
