Who is Lord Ma? Why do you say three eyes?
the horse king is the horse god, commonly known as the horse king, and his full name is "the water plant Ma Ming Wang". There are many stories about his origin. Generally speaking, there are: first, there is a star in the sky, which is called "three-eyed splendor" in Travel Notes to the South. Second, it is said that it belongs to Yin Jiao, son of Yin Zhou Wang. Yin Jiao in The Romance of Gods also has three eyes. Third, it is said that Jin Ridi, the minister of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and the prince of Xiongnu, had no "three eyes". I agree with this origin for the following reasons: 1. After he was naturalized in the Han Dynasty, he raised horses very well and was regarded as the king of horses. Later, he became an important minister who was supported by the testamentary edict. 2. Prince Ma's birthday is June 23rd, and people hold sacrificial activities. The official sacrifice is a whole sheep, because people think that King Ma is in Islam, and the Xiongnu prince is also "back". 3. The realistic Jin Ridi of the former Hungary and the post-Han Dynasty, though with two eyes, later became a god and had "three eyes". Then the third eye is Lu Ban's. There is a legend in Hebei, Zhang Guolao, Chai Wangye and Zhao Kuangyin in the later Zhou Dynasty walked through the newly built Zhao Zhouqiao with the sun, the moon and several mountains. At that time, the bridge was crumbling, so Lu Ban had to go down and hold it by himself, and finally resisted. Ruban was saddened by his lack of skill, so he dug his own eye as a punishment. His eyes were just thrown in front of the horse king, so he picked them up and installed them for himself. I'm not sure whether it is related to Erlang God or not. Maybe there are also "three eyes", and there is also a "Hua Guang" named Ma Wangye. Jiro's cousin "Chen Xiang" chopped the mountain to save his mother, and that Hua Guang also "chopped over the mountain", so people confused Hua Guang with Chen Xiang. There's a saying, "You don't know that Lord Ma has three eyes until you're good.". Why does Lord Ma have three eyes? We have to find the answer from the Hebei folk song "Little Cowherd": "Who will fix it in Zhao Zhouqiao? Who will leave the jade railing? Who rides on the donkey bridge? Who pushed the cart into a ditch? " This is a folk legend in China about Luban making Zhao Zhouqiao. Lu Ban was a skillful craftsman in the Spring and Autumn Period, and was promoted by the world as the ancestor of wood, mud, stone and painter. He competed with his sister Lu Jiang, and Zhao Zhouqiao was created overnight on the Jiaohe River in Zhao County, Hebei Province. Because of its novel design, firmness and ingenuity, the bridge caused a sensation all over the world. Lu Ban was humble all his life and never boasted. At this time, he only said, "The bridge I built is strong and durable, and there will be no problems regardless of multiple loads." This has attracted many immortals who live far away in Penglai Pavilion to come to explore. Zhang Guolao rode a donkey upside down, and the donkey came with a sling on its back, but Lu Ban didn't agree. Lord Chai pushed a wheelbarrow by hand, and Lu Ban even shrugged it off. Who knows that the donkey and the car just got on the bridge, and the bridge was "squeaking" and teetering. Lu Ban jumped under the bridge, holding the arch belly, and the bridge was safe. It turns out that Zhang Guolao's donkey carries the sun and the moon on one side. Lord Chai's unicycle carries four famous mountains: Thailand, China, Heng and Heng. Zhang Guolao said, "The bridge is well built, but my eyesight is a little poor." Say and walk away. Lu Ban said regretfully, "As blind as a bat, I don't know Mount Tai. What's the use of it?" As he spoke, he pulled out his left eye and fell on the bridge. Who knows that this eye suddenly turned into an exquisitely carved night pearl, which rolled down the bridge and was seen by the oncoming horse king and cow king. The two men contended for the bead. The horse king got it first, and when he was laughing and laughing, he saw the cow king coming to grab it. In a panic, he put the beads on his forehead and became three eyes. King Niu was late and didn't get the beads. He was extremely depressed and his face was so gloomy that he was about to get out of the water. It is said that Zhao Zhouqiao still has eight hoof prints of Zhang Guolao donkey, three-foot-long rut of Chai Wangye's wheelbarrow and two big handprints of Lu Ban's arch. Carpenters close their left eyes when hanging wires and gunmen shoot, because Lu Ban "has an eye that doesn't know Taishan Mountain" and gouges out his left eye. It warns people to be modest at all times and not to overdo it. The horse king with three eyes has become synonymous with laughing, laughing and optimistic people. If you are unhappy and look pale, others will compare you with the cow king. In fact, Zhao Zhouqiao in history was designed and built by Li Chun, an outstanding craftsman in Sui Dynasty. Legend is legend after all, not history. Let it go. There are often striking similarities in the history of Ma Wangye's three eyes. Even myths and legends can travel through thousands of years and be vividly interpreted in the past and present. Let's show ourselves. Have you heard the story of "Lord Ma has three eyes"? Never heard of it or can't remember it clearly, and listen to me. Lord Ma is a figure in myths and legends. In Travel Notes to the South, it is said that his name is "Three Eyes Huaguang". It is a folk deity and is regarded as the first of the five gods in the "Five Holy Temples" in the north. On a certain day in a certain month, the Jade Emperor sent the Star Horse (this is the scientific name of Ma Wangye), Lou Jinguo, Kui Muniang and the false-eyed mouse down to the earth to inspect good and evil in all directions. In a few days, the four gods returned to heaven to report to the Jade Emperor. The other three gods reported good deeds, saying that the lower world was a scene of singing and dancing. Only Sun Rima visited both good and evil, and some powerful people bullied the poor. The Jade Emperor looked suspicious and sent Taibai Venus to the lower bound for review. Knowing that the three gods of Lou Jingou were untrue, they were greedy and took bribes in the lower world and told lies without conscience. Stars and horses are honest and honest, and good and bad are truthfully reported. The Jade Emperor repeatedly praised his insight and gave him a long vertical eye. From then on, Ma Wangye was more feared by everyone in blazing with anger than before. Therefore, there is a saying among the people, "Do you know that three eyes are not easy to mess with, Lord Ma?". What does Lord Tema do without years and festivals? No, the wound on my face has healed, and the glorious memorial I left is a small red scar in the shape of a flat moon right in the middle of my eyes. My wife told me that you have become three eyes. When I look at the mirror carefully, I can see that there are eyelashes (tiny traces of stitches) and eyes (a small sharp point raised by skin injury), which is really a bit like it. However, this "eye" is horizontal, unlike Ma Wangye's eyes, which are vertical. According to the doctor, it will take a year or two for the new scar to be completely flat and return to the same color as the original one. So, I will see all the things in the world with "three eyes" for a long time and read all the people. God, is this the legendary eye? Na Ying sang and begged to lend her a pair of discerning eyes. Did she borrow them? We didn't sing well, and we didn't beg hard, but God was generous and lent one. Whether it is lucky or not remains to be tested by practice. However, although we have an eye (don't say I'm talking nonsense), who wants to be unconvinced, let's go find a car trunk and hit our face. ), but don't want to be a horse king. Because, Ma Wangye is honest and selfless, and often destroys the "good things" of others. Look at all the men in the world, how many of them have gone to great lengths to make money and keep mistresses? You stare at three eyes that are observant, full of potholes and corners, and you can see clearly. You make people stop being greedy and scared, which may not scare people's lives. If you don't get it, people will stab you in the back and beat you up so that you can't get out of bed for a lifetime. Or plant a dirty, let you into the classroom to eat more than ten years of injustice; Or speak ill of you in front of your boss, put you in the cold, and go home at a young age. Then don't say that you are a horse king with three eyes, even if you are a king with six eyes, there is nothing you can do to stop eating. These days, you are still a little young to come up with the idea of catching ghosts and subduing demons and calling yourself a hero. Smart, sophisticated, and sleek, who doesn't keep his mouth shut, don't sue the officials, don't investigate much, it's better to keep himself sane. So, don't worry about who begs us to coax us into praising us. We can't even be horse lords. However, people make the best use of their talents and things, and the special functions of those three eyes are still very good and need to be fully exerted. My wish: first, people who want to cheat us, cheat us, steal us and scold us behind our backs can see through their tricks at a glance, and never look at them twice. Hum, if you want to play broadsword in front of the three eyes of Lord Ma, there is no way. Go to Guan Yu! Second, for beautiful MM who like us, worship us, love us, care about us, but are shy and afraid to express themselves, they can penetrate their minds at a glance. We will devote ourselves to love and sincerity in a timely manner without changing our face, and we can make more friends with the opposite sex if we can't become confidantes. If you have this skill, it is estimated that all the handsome guys in the world will worship us as teachers. ) Third, where to do business, where to buy lottery tickets, where to become millionaires, where to fish more without drying nets, and we don't have to ask fortune-teller to look at Feng Shui. When we open our eyes, our eyes are as bright as lightning, and we can easily catch them. (this skill is also born, and it is estimated that it will become a national treasure. ) As long as there are these three things, we can eat and wear, sit back and relax, and thank Ma Wangye in our dreams. Hey, your face is disfigured, don't you become a real master? Ha ha, in fact, we are suffering. The third "eye" that grows out of thin air actually makes us look worse than before. Although I still feel handsome and handsome, I can only get a 25% discount from the truth. Is there a defect? I can't be a horse prince, and it's difficult for a mortal to become immortal. I'm just laughing at myself and being poor and happy here. Who let us be optimistic by nature and never take anything to heart, and our hearts are wider than the sea?
