Is Lv Dongbin Emperor Donghua? What is the relationship with Donghua Dijun? The Journey to the West was written in
Is Lv Dongbin Emperor Donghua? What is the relationship with Donghua Dijun? The Journey to the West was written in the Ming Dynasty. There is a plot in the novel and the Singapore TV series Journey to the East, which is adapted from it: Dong, the head of the male fairy, is reincarnated, completing the journey of crossing to the east to eliminate human grievances.
Dong, the emperor of Donghua, was worshipped by the people together with the Queen Mother of the West, and reached the peak of Dong's sacrifice in the Han Dynasty. According to the ancient book Huai Nan Zi, all male immortals have to visit Dong before they can continue to visit the Emperor of Heaven. Dong was honored as one of the founders by Quanzhen School.
Lv Dongbin was born in the Tang Dynasty, formerly known as Lv Yan. He was admitted to the Jinshi and became an official. After all kinds of human experience, he lived in seclusion with his wife in Zhongtiao Mountain Cave, hence the name Dong Bin. According to Taoism, Lv Dongbin ascended to heaven behind him, and was a representative of Neidan School. He was also honored as one of the founders by Quanzhen School.
According to my textual research, Dong and Tong are honored as Quanzhen's founder and are the reincarnation of Dong. In fact, it is a statement spread by the Quanzhen Sect in order to unify their beliefs. The novels in Ming and Qing Dynasties were attached to the reincarnation of Wang, because Quanzhen School had a great influence at this time, and it involved the dispute between South School and North School, so I don't want to go into details here.
Today, let's talk about the myth system. Is it the reincarnation of Dong? Whether this statement is reasonable.
The story told in the Eight Immortals novel Biography of Eight Immortals is also said to be the reincarnation of Dong.
The Biography of the Eight Immortals' Attainment of Taoism describes the detailed process of the Eight Immortals' thousand-year cultivation from the birth of the old gentleman at the turn of Xia and Shang Dynasties to the completion of the Eight Immortals' return to Tianfu, with rich plots and touching twists and turns. In the book, heaven and earth are intertwined; Immortals, demons, people and things all have their own spirits and spells. Is it true that the Eight Immortals crossed the sea and showed their magical powers? It's really charming. This book is the largest and most complete fairy tale ever.
Let's affirm this statement first to find a reasonable reason for Dong's reincarnation:
We have analyzed before that the fairy represents a mastery of the position of the fruit, that is, the field, but if this field is lost, it will fall from the fairy position, or even fall completely.
And what is Dong's field? He represents the male fairy, as opposed to the western queen mother who represents the female fairy. These two immortals also represent Yin and Yang respectively. The male fairy is under the command of Dong, and only after visiting Dong can he see Emperor Haotian. The Han Dynasty is the peak of Dong and the Queen Mother of the West, and the belief behind it is weak, because the belief in justice has been strengthened. In all kinds of legends, Tian Li, who was originally in the ninth heaven, began to intervene in the affairs of some little fairies. Compared with Dong, Tian Daoxue is better.
In other words, Dong's authority began to weaken, his field was squeezed, and his immortal status declined a little, which was directly reflected in his practice and his cultivation began to decline.
However, Dong is said to be the son of King Pangu. He was born immortal, and his position was respected by nature. He will definitely respond to the decline of his status, and he will re-improve his status and strengthen his cultivation. What should Dong do at this time?
Two ways.
First, fight against the scientific heaven to regain power, but the heaven of heaven is an old fairy, representing the world, and it just can't be won head-on. Heaven is the Lord of immortals, and it is also true that male immortals are in power. There is no way to encourage other immortals to seek justice with good enough reasons, so this method will not work.
Then we can only choose the second method: prove one more related fairy fruit position, even if the quality is not high, but the quantity can be piled up to become a big fairy.
Although Dong's status has declined, his divine power is still better than that of ordinary immortals. As a descendant of Pangu, the magical power of Pangu's biochemical things must have been mastered, and Dong has also prepared many incarnations to prove the fruit position of other immortals.
However, some people pay attention to the fruit position, and must be suitable for themselves and related to the original field, so as to achieve 1+ 1 > 2.
As it happens, the ancestor of Taoism, Taishang Laojun, is carrying out a fairy-making plan about the Eight Immortals in Shandong. Is the fruit of one of the Eight Immortals a representative man? When the immortal saw it, he quickly ran over to ask for a quota. Dong was very familiar with it, and easily reached a cooperation with the old gentleman, and then became an immortal and became one of the caves.
Because of his extraordinary heel, Lv Dongbin became the tallest of the Eight Immortals and the most legendary, with many deeds. As for other incarnations of Dong, there is no textual research.

The above is a reasonable argument, and then analyze several points that are easy to be questioned.
Theoretically, the Queen Mother of the West also declined. Who is the reincarnation of the Queen Mother of the West?
I don't know, but there is a saying that the Queen Mother of the West is a son-in-law and a demon emperor, who has contributed to mankind. According to Shan Hai Jing, the Queen Mother of the West was a banshee in charge of punishment. After the Han Dynasty, she was worshipped as a fairy head, so the Queen Mother of the West had many fields, and the fields of the fairy head were purely part-time.
They are all immortals. What should I call Dong when I see him? It's strange to talk to yourself.
No need for dialogue. It is the incarnation of Dong. Maybe it will become a part of the east after returning to heaven. It can be said that it is Dong, but Dong is not.
Where does the sky mean, an unknown place in the sky?
The celestial sky refers to a high-dimensional world, not the sky that can be seen by the naked eye. Ascension is the sublimation of body and soul, and it is the ability to enter a higher-dimensional world, not the displacement of physical distance.
The Emperor of Heaven is the emperor of immortals. Why should he interfere in other immortals' fields?
The mystery is unknown, but the immortal's behavior has a reason. If all people pray with Haotian, Haotian will pay attention to these little things.
Will Dong use his fruit position to strengthen himself and annoy Haotian?
Not at all. The Eight Immortals on the Cave Project are not only an old gentleman, but also promoted by the Emperor of Heaven. Immortals have their own rules and rarely fight. Such a thing will not be controversial.
Lv Dongbin represents mortals? , mortal shortcomings Lv Dongbin also have?
Yes, Lv Dongbin is very masculine, but he also has the shortcomings of men. For example, he loves to flirt with women (also a kind of predestination method, the purpose is to cross people, and the way seems a bit wild). Many legends in Lv Dongbin are related to women, such as Lv Zu's Bai Mudan Trilogy, Lv Zu's Three Attempts of He Xiangu and Lv Zu's Guanyin.
Pangolin and leader Tian Tong are villains in TV series. Is it the original story?
Not at all, the soundtrack and scenery of this TV series are superb! But the story sucks, especially in the shaping of villains. Pangolin is a fictional TV series, and the leader of Tian Tong is one of the Taoist Sanqing. The original work mainly talks about the entanglement between the Eight Immortals and the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea.
