The legendary goddess. The strange god, who was originally in charge of disasters and punishments, gradually became soft and gentle in the process of spreading and became an old and kind goddess. According to legend, the Queen Mother lives in Yaochi, Kunlun Mountain, and there are flat peaches in the garden, which can be eaten forever. Also known as the Golden Mother, the Golden Mother of Yaochi and the Queen Mother of the West.
According to the ancient book Shan Hai Jing, "The Queen Mother of the West is like a human being, with a leopard's tail and tiger's teeth. She is good at whistling and is full of Dai Sheng. The Queen Mother of the West looks like a human being, with a leopard tail and tiger teeth. She is good at growling with high-frequency sounds. With messy hair and a square hat. It is a god sent by heaven to spread viruses and various disasters. It can be seen that he is ugly and is a demon god who sends disasters and epidemics! He lives on the top of Kunlun Mountain, and there are three giant raptors named Jade Bird, which bring him food and daily necessities every day.
However, in Mu's legend, the words and deeds of the Queen Mother of the West are like a gentle ruler. When Zhou Muwang traveled around the world in an eight-horse, he traveled to Kunlun Mountain in the west. He took out Bai Gui Xu Anbi and other jade articles to visit the Queen Mother of the West. The next day, Mu Wang hosted a banquet in Yaochi for the Queen Mother of the West. Both of them sang some poems and exchanged blessings.
The Legend of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty called her a goddess with peerless appearance and gave her a flat peach that bears fruit once every three thousand years. Taoism takes the third day of March every year as the queen mother's birthday, and holds a grand event on this day, commonly known as the Flat Peach Festival.
Some scholars and experts in China believe that the mythical Queen Mother of the West does exist in history. Li Xiaowei, a scholar who studies Kunlun culture, was quoted by Xinhua as saying: "In fact, the Queen Mother of the West, shrouded in many myths, is not a fairy, but a female chief of a nomadic tribe west of Qinghai Lake. 」
Many years' research and on-the-spot investigation by some scholars and experts found that there was once a country of animal husbandry-the Queen Mother of the West more than 3,000 to 5,000 years ago. Its territory includes the vast area sandwiched between Kunlun Mountain and Qilian Mountain in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau today, and the grassland around Qinghai Lake and Qaidam Basin are its richest central areas. According to textual research, the "national capital" of the ancient kingdom of Xiwangmu is located in Tianjun County, Haixi Mongolian and Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province, west of Qinghai Lake.
Professor Zhang from the Department of Geography of Qinghai Normal University pointed out in his signed article: "It is worth noting that the Queen Mother of the West is not only the title of an ancient tribal country, but also the title of an ancient queen, which has been passed down from generation to generation. The existing ancient books prove that from the Jin Dynasty to the Ming and Qing Dynasties and even the Republic of China, there were a large number of queen tribes in Qinghai grassland area and the north and south of Kunlun Mountain, among which Supi tribe was the most famous.
