In the myths and legends of the Eight Immortals, Lu Dongbin was my favorite character when I was a child. So do you know when Lu Dongbin’s birthday is? In this issue of Traditional Festivals, I will take you to find out when Lu Dongbin’s birthday is. Let’s take a look at what it looks like.
The 14th day of the fourth lunar month is the birthday of the Taoist immortal Lu Dongbin. Lu Dongbin was born on the 14th day of the fourth lunar month in the 14th year of Tang Zhenyuan in Shuizhuxu, Zhaoxianli, Yongle Town, Hezhong Prefecture (now Yongle Town, Ruicheng County), with the surname Lu, whose name is Yan, whose courtesy name is Dongbin, and whose Taoist name is Chunyangzi, is a famous Taoist, health expert, medical scientist, and calligrapher in the late Tang Dynasty. He is also a wine fairy, a poet, and a swordsman.
According to legend, on the fourteenth day of the fourth lunar month hundreds of years ago, Lu Dongbin came to the sky above Luofu Mountain and Xiqiao Mountain, the famous mountains in southern Guangdong. Seeing the beautiful scenery of the two mountains, he was very interested in traveling. He jumped up and stepped to the left. Luofu Mountain, with Xiqiao Mountain on the right... Legend has it that Lu Dongbin, whose original surname was Li, served as a Jinshi in the Tang Dynasty clan. After seeing Wu Zetian massacre the descendants of the Tang Dynasty, he wanted to live forever after making elixirs with children's blood, so he abandoned his official position with his wife. He lived in seclusion among the blue water and Dan Mountain, changed his surname to Lu, and often lived under a rock, hence the name Yan. Because the stone tablet at the entrance of the cave was engraved with the word "Dongbin", in order to avoid being caught by officials, he hid his name and called him "Lü Dongbin". It is said that before he attained enlightenment, he met Han Zhongli by chance in a Chang'an restaurant, and "Huang Liang Yi Meng" realized it and asked for his salvation. After ten trials of life, death, wealth and color, Zhongli of the Han Dynasty was unmoved, so he received the golden elixir and the single method of spiritual treasure. Later, he met the Fire Dragon True Lord, who taught him the method of worshiping the sun and the moon and the Heavenly Escape Sword Technique, calling himself " "First, cut off greed and anger, second, cut off love and desire, and third, cut off worries." He vowed to save all sentient beings in the world. According to records: The Song Dynasty named him "Miaotong Zhenren".
Lu Dongbin was named Yan, and Dongbin was his given name. Because he was born on April 14, the 14th year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty (640), and the year, month, day, and hour are all Yang numbers, he was named Chunyangzi.
There is Jinniu Mountain in Liuhe Babaiqiao Town, Nanjing. There is a huge rock standing in the air. There is a cave under the rock on the cliff like an axe. It is said that Lu Dongbin carried a sword on his back and traveled around the world. When I arrived at Jinniu Mountain, I saw the beautiful scenery and myriad atmospheres here, so I practiced Taoism in the cave, "listed the five elements, determined the six qi, gathered the seven treasures, and sequenced the eight trigrams", transcended the world, and became an immortal.
