What kind of fairy is Mother Earth?
Mother Earth is the mother of all things in China myths and legends, and also the goddess of the earth in folk beliefs. For thousands of years, people have built temples and statues to worship Mother Earth in order to survive, to have ample food and clothing, to live and work in peace and contentment, to bless and eliminate disasters, and to bring good luck and health to all beings. The appearance of earth gods originated from the worship of land and women in the ancient nature worship. She masters Yin and Yang and nurtures everything, so she is called the mother of the earth.
The story of Mother Earth Empress:
Legend has it that a long time ago, in the western area of Songjiazhuang Village in the western mountainous area of Xingtai County, the male owner who had just settled here blindly listened to the "wild talk" of two Jianghu Taoist priests in an attempt to "get rich quickly". But it didn't last long. Soon, his dream of making money was shattered. He exhausted his family wealth and brought disaster to the whole village. The village fell, the population withered and the family was driven out of the village. The man was very sorry for this and hanged himself in a small ravine in the south of the village.
Faced with the tragic situation of family destruction and empty money, this woman is very strong. She buried her husband's body, dried her tears, set up a shed and built a house in a small ravine not far from where she buried her husband, and worked day and night to grow millet. So year after year, I don't know how many years have passed. This incident was made known to the "Mother Earth Empress" who was cruising near Maling. She felt pity and wanted to help the poor hostess.
One day, an old woman with white hair was lying in front of the hostess's house in rags and stumbling. Looking at the old woman's tired, thirsty and hungry appearance, the kind hostess quickly helped her into the house, gave her saliva and gave her a bowl of porridge. She also asked the old man to stay until his spirit recovered. She promised to let the old man leave, fearing that the old man would starve to death on the road. The hostess gave the old man some dry food at home.
The old woman left the village full of joy. When she left, the old woman insisted on taking off her broken luggage and giving it to the hostess. This luggage looks worn out, and it's nothing valuable. The hostess sent it several times, but she couldn't resist the kindness of the old woman and stayed.
A few days later, early in the morning, the hostess came out of the house, and the scene in front of her surprised her: the front of the village, the east of the village and the south of the village were flat land with green crops. A large area of lush poplars grows on the Xihe River beach in the village. Open the bag, which contains a brand-new "Mother Earth Sutra". She was overjoyed and suddenly realized that it was "Mother Earth" who dared to live at home! She quickly fell to the ground and made three bows.
