Who knows how to worship Erlang God (Erlang immortal gives birth to a true king)?

"Erlang God is a character in China, Four Great Classical Novels and The Journey to the West. The Monkey King made a scene in the Heavenly Palace, but there was nothing he could do. Guanyin recommended the jade emperor's nephew, and Jiro Kawaguchi showed the responsibility of a saint and a true gentleman. Erlang God has great magical powers and superb skills, and it is difficult to compete with the Monkey King in 300 rounds. Later, with the help of his dog and Taishang Laojun, the Monkey King was finally captured alive. "

"In the ancient legend of China, there were four people named Erlang God. One is Jiro, the son of Li Bing, a hydraulic scientist during the Warring States Period. It is said that he was ordered to control water and chop jiaozi at the pass, and it was his friend' Seven Sages of Meishan' who helped him succeed. Second, Yang Jian, the nephew of the Jade Emperor and the elder brother of the Third Virgin (the Virgin of Huashan), was angry because the Third Virgin married a mortal and forbade the Third Virgin to go down to Huashan. The third person is Zhao Yu of Sui Dynasty, who can cut jiaozi. These three people are called Jiro Guan. Another theory refers to Deng Ya, the satrap of Xiangyang in Jin Dynasty. Since the Song Dynasty, Erlang Temple has been built in many places. Works with its theme or characters include: Zhang Shiqi's Prince Aquilaria chopping Huashan Mountain, the novel The Condor Heroes, The Journey to the West and the opera Lotus Lantern. " "Peaceful Magnolia" Volume 62 quoted Sheng Hongzhi's "Jingzhou Ji" in the Southern Song Dynasty:' Mianshui accumulates deep pools, and dumplings do harm first. Xiangyang satrap Deng Xia drew his sword into the water and bound his feet with dumplings. He cut off several sections of jiaozi with his sword, dripping with blood, and bravely crowned it at that time, so there was no trouble for jiaozi afterwards. "Biography of Zhuzi" Volume III: "Erlang Temple, the gateway in the middle of Shu, was dug by Li Bing, and was built in a heap. Today, there are many ghosts. They are his second son. Song Wang Luo's Dragon City Story:' Zhao Yu, at the end of Sui Dynasty, worshiped history excessively. At that time, it was thought that there were old dumplings in the pond, which led thousands of people to preach on the river bank, making a lot of noise. Jade is a knife without water, the river is red, the stone embankment is half collapsed, and the roar is like thunder. I rushed out with jiaozi's head in my left hand and a knife in my right. The country wears, and things are gods. Yong Dong Aquilaria Collection: "Dressed in a golden chain mail, with white face and three eyes, and hands with three tips and two edges ... The gods looked at Yang Xiaosheng and recognized him as Erlang, the god of Linjiang Pass," Dujiangyan Gongzhuan ":"Erlang is Li, and likes to hunt with seven friends and chop jiaozi. " The Journey to the West's sixth visit: The Bodhisattva said,' Your Majesty asked my nephew to show the sage Jiro the true king, and when he saw (now) the source irrigation plan pouring into the estuary, he enjoyed its fragrance. In the past, six monsters were punished. In front of the account, there were Meishan brothers and 1,200 grass-headed gods, who were miraculous. "

"Erlang God is called Water God. There are different opinions about who to worship. " "Three religions seeking God" refers to Zhao Yu. Shu people in Sui Dynasty and Li Jue's reclusive practice in Qingcheng Mountain. They were made satrap by Emperor Yang-ti and became gods after their death. When Song Zhenzong was appointed as' the true king of Qingyuan Miao Dao'. According to the Records of Suzhou County, he once went into the water to cut jiaozi, kill insects, and the Shu people built a temple for sacrifice, which was called "Guankou Erlang God". Also known as Li Bing's second son. Because of his contribution to water control, Shu people built temples to offer sacrifices. Besides, is Erlang God Li Bing or Jin Dengya? After the Song Dynasty, there were many Erlang temples in various places. "

As can be seen from the above, the Erlang gods in the Han area of the Central Plains are basically concentrated in the following people or gods: Emperor Wen of Sui, Li Bing, Li Bing's second son, and Deng Ya. Except Yang Jian, the mythical god of war, almost all of them are related to water conservancy. Then, since the identity of Erlang God in the Han area is so complicated, which god is worshipped by the Turks as an input god? There are many legends about Erlang God in the Turkish region.

"Erlang God is a deity enshrined in Turkey. In Jia Zhu Village, Zhongchuan, Minhe County, Erlang Temple was built, and the tablets were' Qingyuan, Miaodao, Daodao, Respect for Secrets, Zhenjun, Chuanchuan Land, Mighty Spirit, Show Buddha'. It is said that the foot households in Hezhou, Gansu Province have gone to Sichuan to buy and sell. In order to get rich, they believed in Erlang God, stole the tablet of Erlang God from Sichuan and built a temple to worship it. 1928, there was a war in the northwest and Erlang Temple was burned. Eight families in Zhujiajian Island moved the memorial tablet of Erlang God from Hezhou and built a village temple with cypress statues. Until now, the local people still call Erlang God' the bottom of the river' (bottom: this is what the local people call grandpa, here is God). From the traditional festival "Nadun" of the Tu people, Erlang God was invited to the temple in Sanchuan to offer incense, and was not invited back to his ancestral temple until the last "Nadun" of the Zhujiajian family ended on September 15th of the lunar calendar. The Tu people in Tongren County also believe in Erlang God and worship Erlang God and Mountain God in a temple. When the traditional festival' Ruruo Festival' was held in June of the lunar calendar, the mage asked the gods to protect the prosperity of people and animals. It is also said that Jiro was a famous soldier sent here by the imperial court a long time ago. Because of his meritorious service in governing the local area, people erected a statue for him after his death and worshipped him. "

"According to local legend, Amimuhong (commonly known as Erlang God), Amiyula and Gumu Rilang God were originally three brothers, all of whom were exiled to Qinghai by the emperor. Amy Mu Hong was originally a military commander who was executed by the emperor for defeat. His soul was sent to Erlang Mountain in Sichuan, and later became a god believed by the Han people there. Tibetans (including local Turks) don't believe him. Legend has it that in a war about/kloc-0.00 years ago, local Tibetans (including local Turks) sacrificed to Erlang God, begging for their protection to win the battle, because Erlang God was the god of war. As a result, they really won the battle. They thought it was the result of Erlang God's protection and help, so they began to offer sacrifices to Erlang God. At the "June Meeting" in Regong, dancers held flags, knives and spears, shouted "uh-uh-uh-uh" and danced in the square to celebrate the victory. This dance is said to show respect for Erlang God. Folks believe that Jiro is a good god and likes blood sacrifice. As long as people believe in him and sacrifice to him on time, he will protect any tribe. "

As can be seen from the above legends from the Turkic region, the Turks believe that Erlang God is the God of War, but so far he has not been identified as Emperor Wen of Sui. It's all related to Sichuan. Does it really mean that Li Bing has something to do with Sichuan and water control? Li Bing's second son? Zhao Wei? We can't jump to conclusions like this.

In Han mythology, Jiro Yang Jian became a god of war because of his bravery and good fighting skills. His most striking and powerful thing is his third eye, which grows in the middle of his forehead. The third eye became the symbol of Erlang God. Apart from Yang Jian, neither Zhao Yu nor Bing, nor Bing's second son nor Deng Ya, have such obvious characteristics. In Tongren Tu Temple, Erlang God has a third eye, and people in some villages directly call him Yang Jian Erlang. In July, 2003, at the June meeting held in Nianduhu Village, Tongren, the young mage claimed that the god attached to him was Erlang God, and asked the villagers to make a helmet and a shirt for him, so that he could walk forcefully and make a gesture of God of War and a vivid image. All these undoubtedly show that the Erlang God worshipped by the Tu people is Emperor Wen of Sui, the brave god of war in the ancient mythology of the Han nationality in China.

In addition, judging from the formation of Tu nationality, whether from Han nationality or Mongolian nationality, their main purpose of coming to Qinghai is to guard the border. In other words, when the ancestors of the Tu nationality first arrived in Qinghai, they were soldiers. The soldiers first paid attention to fighting, and fighting was their unshirkable responsibility. From the Yuan Dynasty to the Song Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, from Linxia, Gansu (Guhezhou) to Huangnan, Qinghai, and then to the front line of people's mutual assistance, it has always been a strategic place to defend Tubo from advancing eastward. Large-scale troops have been deployed in this area throughout the ages. In fact, small-scale wars and conflicts have never stopped. In this case, it is not difficult to understand that the defenders and their families regard Jiro as their worship god. When the identity of these defenders changed from soldiers to ordinary people, that is, today's Turks, their beliefs naturally remained. According to historical data, Erlang Temple appeared and was established in various places after the Song Dynasty, and this period happened to be an important period for the ancestors of the Tu nationality to move to Qinghai.

Thus, although the Tu people have different opinions about the Erlang God they worship, in essence, the Erlang God they worship refers to Yang Jian Erlang, the god of war.
