Yu Xin, a famous literary scholar during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, famously said: "Those who fall into reality think of their trees, and those who drink their flows cherish their origins." ”
Since ancient times, Chinese has the excellent quality of drinking water and thinking of the source, so no matter what industry people will worship an ancient person, one is to express respect and remembrance, and the other is to hope to be blessed and blessed.
The people who are worshipped are called "grandmasters", and these people are generally the founders of an industry or people who have made special contributions to the industry.
Cao Cao, Guan Yu, Yue Fei and Lü Dongbin are not strangers to everyone, but do you know that they are also the grandfathers of some industries? Let's take a look at it.
Tomb robbers worship Cao Cao
Cao Cao, a generation of tyrants, not only knows how to fight, but also has a very high literary literacy, how can such a person be related to tomb robbery?
It turned out that at that time, the soldiers were used to fight wars, and the salaries were often insufficient, so in order to enrich the needs of the army, he thought of the idea of robbing tombs. In order to carry out tomb robbery more effectively, he also set up an army, the leader of which was called "Captain Touching Gold".
Cao Cao's tomb robbery troops absorbed tomb robbers from all over the world and summarized a set of professional tomb robbery techniques, and later formed the Gold Touching Sect, one of the four sects of tomb robbery.
Since ancient times, Chinese have believed in the theory of ghosts and gods, and tomb robbery is a matter of conscience and damage to yin morality, and Cao Cao not only did not shy away from it, but set up a serious official position for tomb robbery, no wonder the tomb robbers after him wanted to honor him as the grandfather.
The worship of the mixed society
Guan Yu was historically a major general under Liu Bei during the Three Kingdoms period, and was gradually deified after his death, and the people called him "Guan Gong", starting from the Northern Song Dynasty, Guan Yu was regarded as the educational image of loyalty and righteousness in all dynasties, and was enshrined as "Martial Saint" in the Qing Dynasty.
For Guan Yu, a historical figure, what impresses us most is the Taoyuan Sanjieyi, as well as the brotherhood between Zhen and Liu Bei, who is willing to give up the high-ranking official Houlu given by Cao Cao.
Although this type of person in the mixed society gives everyone a less just impression, in fact, it is true, but most of these people value brotherhood, calling a brother, you can go up the sword mountain and the sea of fire for you, so Guan Yu's loyalty and righteousness can represent them very well, at least in their rules.
When history evaluates Guan Yu, it is said that he is brave enough to win the three armies and a brave general, so people who mix society worship Guan Yu and also have the meaning of praying for Guan Gong's blessing and hoping that they can be as brave as Guan Yu.
The eunuch worshiped Yue Fei
The eunuch bai yue fei, this matter is indeed very much like a joke shock, before understanding the reason, Xiaobian is not quite convinced. But it is.
Historically, the image of eunuchs is mostly a negative image of disrupting politics, so why can it be associated with Yue Fei, who is loyal to the country? This has to mention the more famous emperor in history- Zhu Di.
Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, once stipulated that eunuchs could not interfere in politics, and in order to further restrict the rights of eunuchs, Zhu Di set up institutions such as JinyiWei and Dongchang.
In this case, in order to survive, the eunuchs began to worship Yue Fei. Use Yue Fei's patriotic qualities to show and remind himself of his loyalty to the emperor.
By worshiping Yue Fei, the ming eunuchs refreshed the old image, appeared excellent eunuchs similar to Zheng He, and opened up a brilliant scene in the early Ming Dynasty. However, with the decline of the imperial court in the late Ming Dynasty, Yue Fei's spirit did not encourage this group of eunuchs in the slightest, and eunuchs appeared again.
Qinglou woman Bailu Dongbin
The Qinglou is a deformed product under the feudal system, the first official sealed Qinglou in history was set up by Guan Zhong, so many Qinglou bosses in ancient times set up a statue of Guan Zhong to worship, so why is it that the Qinglou women worship Lü Dongbin? Then we have to talk about Lu Dongbin's character.
Lü Dongbin is a real historical figure who lived in the Tang Dynasty and was a Taoist priest in the Tang Dynasty, who was later revered as a god by Taoism and was one of the Eight Immortals.
Lü Dongbin's true personality is unknown, but in the legends of later generations, Lü Dongbin was a wandering skeleton and a good wine-colored person.
He often went in and out of taverns and green buildings.
The most famous "peach news" about Lü Dongbin is "Lü Dongbin Three Plays white peony", interested readers can understand it on their own.
Lü Dongbin has a charming face, can compose poems and compose music, and most importantly, can be considerate of people. When he enters and exits the Qinglou, he will listen to the voices of the women in the Qinglou and often enlighten them and persuade them to get rid of the sea of suffering.
These dusty women are also poor people, although some people "spend a thousand dollars" for them, but this is also a very small minority, who does not want to live an innocent life.
Therefore, these Qinglou women began to worship Lü Dongbin, on the one hand, to relieve the bitterness of their lives, and second, to hope that a good person would appear to redeem themselves and hope that they would get rid of the sea of suffering as soon as possible.
