Why did Li Jing, the god of war in the Tang Dynasty, become a middle-aged man with mediocrity and incompetence in myths and legends?

Later, because the image of Excavate coincides with the image of the King of Pishamen, and Taoism also preaches that Excavate is related to Taoism, the legendary Excavate is not as famous as Zhou Wenwang and others, and can only be a supporting role in many fairy tales.

Li Jing was the founding hero of the Tang Dynasty. He was originally a military wizard, but he was deified step by step in the records of later generations. There is a fairy story that Li Jing prayed for rain for the people and succeeded, which made Li Jing's image in the eyes of the ancients even taller. Later, a Buddhist Vishamun King appeared. According to legend, he let Li Yuan and his son rebel and overthrew the rule of the Sui Dynasty. Because the rulers of the Tang Dynasty believed in King Vishnu, King Vishnu became more and more famous among the people.

Nezha, the third prince under the throne of Pishamen, is very close to Nezha, the third son of Excavate. Later, the image of the heavenly king Pishamen coincides with that of Li Jing, and the third prince Nezha is mixed with Li Jing's third son. The image of King Vishnu is the tower-holding king, and later it became the image of King Li Jing holding the tower.

Taoism also records Li Jing, saying that Li Jing knows Taoism, so Li Jing has something to do with Taoism. Later, Jing Li's image was changed to deviate more and more from the original image. Excavate is not the original excavate, but Tota Li Tianwang. Later generations will write Li Jing when they write fairy tales, but they abandon the identity of General Li Jing and write Li Jing as a mediocre and incompetent middle-aged man with the identity of King Tota Li Tian. In fact, this is unfair to Jing Li. We should give Jing Li a positive image.
