In the land of China, Mount Tai with its majestic natural scenery and long history and culture, has attracted countless literati and writers to visit. And behind Mount Tai, there is a mysterious legend about Grandma Tarzan. Today, let's explore the origin of this legendary goddess.
Grandma Taishan, also known as Bixia Yuanjun, is an important goddess in Taoism. There is a widely circulated story about her origins. It is said that a long, long time ago, at the foot of Mount Tai lived a poor peasant girl named Bixia. She is hardworking and kind, and often helps the elderly and children in the village. One day, while collecting medicine in the mountains, Bixia rescued an injured fawn. In order to repay her kindness, the fawn leads her to a mysterious cave. In the cave, Bixia found a golden statue of the god. After she bowed reverently, suddenly the golden light overflowed, and the idol of the god came to her in the form of a beautiful goddess. The goddess told her that she was a jade girl in the sky, and she was ordered by the Jade Emperor to go down to earth to protect Mount Tai. In gratitude for Bixia's kindness, she decided to teach her a magical ability so that she could exorcise evil spirits and cure diseases for the people.
Since then, Bixia has practiced medicine around Mount Tai and has treated countless patients. Her reputation spread all over the world, and people came to Mount Tai to worship and pray for peace and health. After Bixia died, in order to commemorate her, people built a temple in Mount Tai to worship her as Grandma Mount Tai. Every year, a large number of believers come to worship and pray for the safety of their homes and a good harvest.
