Does anyone understand the spirit of Nezha?

Many legendary stories about Nezha's saving the world, saving people, punishing evil and promoting good have been handed down to this day, which truly reflect the long history and profoundness of Nezha culture and Nezha spirit.

Synthesize The Journey to the West's historical and cultural masterpieces such as The Romance of Ghosts and Ghosts and Nezha's folk tales and legends. It is not difficult to find that Nezha's life and events are just myths and legends, but behind the cultural legends there is a spirit of being open and aboveboard, fearless of evil and power. This is the spirit of Nezha.

The essence of Nezha spirit lies in the following points:

First, the spirit and benevolence of the prodigal son. After Nezha turned against his father, the prodigal son turned back and joined forces with his father to prosper Zhou and destroy Shang.

Second, the spirit of respecting teachers and attaching importance to Taoism, both inside and outside. Nezha respected the real teacher Taiyi all his life. His teacher Taiyi honed Nezha's nature internally according to the principle of "practicing both inside and outside" and gave Nezha a magic weapon to help him uphold justice and exorcise demons. So Nezha is virtuous and artistic.

Third, the spirit of saving the world and the people, punishing evil and promoting good. Nezha can drive away evil spirits to keep the world at peace, or help Zhou eliminate evil spirits, punish evil and promote good, and save the people from fire and water. Thus, Nezha can be immortal and become the embodiment of truth, goodness and beauty in the hearts of all beings.

Fourth, the spirit of being conscientious, united and enterprising. Nezha never forgot to shoulder the historical mission of prospering the Zhou Dynasty, destroying the merchants and saving the country. To this end, I never violate the teacher's orders and military orders, do my duty, work hard, spare no effort and forge ahead.

Fifth, the spirit of selflessness, fearlessness and being the first. Nezha was innocent, without desire, ambitious and audacious. Therefore, Nezha dared to fire the first shot against the ruthless Zhou Wang, and also dared to act as the pioneer of the Zhou Dynasty, and "the five customs in Dongwu were the first".

Sixth, indifference and the spirit of the other. Nezha treats things in the world with an indifferent and peaceful attitude, does not act rashly, and goes with the fate; After his success, he returned to Shan Ye, returning to simplicity, being free from vulgarity, "doing nothing without doing anything" and finally "becoming a wing beyond the three realms".
