Yang Jian or agarwood are children who cut down mountains to save their mothers?
Extended data
I'm talking about the legend of Liu Chenxiang's rescue from Huashan Mountain, and the story of the Three Virgin and Erlang God Yang Jian's rescue from Taoshan Mountain.
There are two most famous stories handed down. One is the agarwood chopping the mountain to save the mother. It was first seen in the lost dramas of Yuan and Ming Dynasties, such as Prince Shen Xiang splitting Huashan and splitting Huashan to save his mother, and there was also "Liu Yuxin Xi Shen Xiang" in the operas of Song and Yuan Dynasties. In the thirty-second year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, Liu Yuxin Xi's Immortal, a southern opera, and Lotus Lantern, a Pihuang opera, were widely circulated in The Journey to the West, and were finalized in the Qing Dynasty. The happy ending reflects the public's expectation.
One is that Erlang God cut Taoshan to save his mother. In order to save his mother, Jiro promised the Jade Emperor to carry mountains on his back day by day, and the palace and the Five Elements Mountains on his shoulders to catch the sun. Finally, the jade emperor was helpless and released Yang Mu, conferring Jiro and Sanniang. So far, there is also the Enlightenment of the Eight Immortals written by an innocent Taoist priest who has been in Tongzhi for seven years. Three girls were crushed by Mount Tai, and the Eight Immortals helped Wang Tai. (Wang Tai is actually the true nephew of Erlang God, and some people regard Wang Tai as Liu Chenxiang's)
Wu Cheng'en wrote a poem in the book: "The axe split Taoshan once saved the mother, and the bullet hit the phoenix." This poem is a description of Jiro Zhenjun in The Journey to the West. Jiro cut down Taoshan with an axe to save his mother.
The sixth time, Xiao Xian Shiwei surrendered to the Great Sage: When the Great Sage saw it, he picked up the golden cudgel and shouted, "Who are you to dare to challenge here?" Zhenjun shouted, "You are as blind as a bat, you don't recognize me! I am the nephew of the Jade Emperor and also the nephew of Wang Erlang. Today, I was ordered to arrest you, an anti-monkey, and you still don't know how to live or die! " "I remember that the jade emperor's sister wanted to go to the lower world and have a boy with Yang Jun," said the Great Sage. Did you chop Taoshan with an axe? I want to scold you a few times, but Zeng nai has no resentment; Too bad I'm going to give you a stick. You little husband, hurry back and call out your four heavenly kings. "
