On a night when the moon is sparse, the night sky is particularly deep and far. Thin clouds are involved around the bright moon, like a dream. I saw the moonlight shining through the clouds, wrapping the moon in a hazy haze, and I once suspected that it was my old eyes that I was dizzy and could not see clearly.
A few wisps of night breeze blew by, and the clouds seemed to move silently with the night breeze. The moon is like a bearded girl with a veil removed, with bright eyes and bright teeth, and the autumn waves are flowing, which is much more vivid. At this time, I could clearly see that in the huge pupil embedded in the vast universe, there were a laurel tree, a jade rabbit and an old man resting against the trunk of the tree. The old man was slightly rickety, holding a gourd, and was raising his head to drink osmanthus wine, it should be Wu Gang. The jade rabbit landed on the ground on its feet, in a standing posture, and the medicine pestle in its hand was very long, which was the same height as the jade rabbit when standing.
What exactly is a rabbit pestle?Some maverick poets say that it is the golden millet that falls from the osmanthus tree. If you ask him what is the use of a rabbit pestle and golden millet?The poet was incomprehensible.
Guanghan Palace Jade Rabbit pounding medicine is the consensus of the Chinese for thousands of years.
Some people regard the Jade Rabbit pounding medicine as a punitive work, and they even think that the Jade Rabbit is the incarnation of Chang'e, and the Queen Mother of the West is angry because Chang'e stole the elixir and replaces her husband Hou Yi Fei Tian into an immortal, so she punishes it, because the original intention of the Queen Mother of the West is to let her favorite Hou Yi Fei Tian become an immortal and come to the fairy world to share bliss with herself. Li Shangyin said in his poem, "Chang'e pounds medicine endlessly", here Chang'e is the jade rabbit, and the jade rabbit is Chang'e.
I disagree.
It seems far-fetched to punish Chang'e for becoming a jade rabbit to pound medicine. Thousands of years of myths and stories have been handed down, Chang'e and Jade Rabbit are their own independent existences, but I think that the Queen Mother of the West may have compassion for Chang'e, and sent Jade Rabbit to Guanghan Palace to accompany the lonely and lonely Chang'e, which is not impossible
Beauty with a lonely lamp, growing old with heaven and earth, is actually a very cruel thing. The Queen Mother of the West, who is also a woman, is in a high position and has a great loneliness, she should know that it is not easy for Chang'e.
Yutu's previous identity was an attendant of the Queen Mother of the West, who participated in the production of the elixir of life, and was an immortal representing longevity and curing all diseases. In fact, the status of the Jade Rabbit in the minds of the people is not low, after all, everyone expects that they can be disease-free**, live a long life, and have many children. Moreover, the snow-white rabbit is "as bright as frost, gentle as jade", "its face is true, and its nature is benevolent", so that people who belong to the rabbit are naturally considered to be docile, tolerant and loving people. For example, my grandmother and my mother-in-law, they are docile and virtuous, and they are always submissive, and it seems that this is really the case.
In view of the advantages and virtues of longevity, childbearing, gentleness, and goodness, some texts directly let the jade rabbit represent the moon and the golden crow represent the sun.
In my logic, the Queen Mother of the West must not be the kind of god who will repay the grievances of the past. It's already in the past, and the high-quality man in the world that the Queen Mother of the West likes, and Hou Yi is not the only one, if she doesn't have this pattern, what qualifications does she have to dominate the god realm?
Therefore, I think the Queen Mother of the West is sympathetic to Chang'e, not jealous and hateful of her. Just imagine, a lonely woman wandering day and night in the empty, lonely, and cold palace complex, how can this scene not make people feel emotion and pity?The sympathetic Queen Mother of the West decided to send her maid Jade Rabbit to Guanghan Palace to process medicinal materials. The work of pounding medicine is relatively boring, with strong repetitiveness, and there is no room for error, and it is very good to have a quiet place that can make people focus. As a result, Guanghan Palace became the outsourcing processing place for the elixir of the Queen Mother of the West, and the Jade Rabbit was "dispatched" to the Moon Palace.
The Jade Rabbit conscientiously pounds medicine under the osmanthus tree in Guanghan Palace every day. Wu Gang fell, Jade Rabbit waved the pestle, one should be the other, each performing its own duties. In fact, Yutu also has a colleague Jin Toad, whose job is to collect medicinal herbs, and sometimes participate in the work of pounding medicines.
Jin Toad and Jade Rabbit are both members of the Western Queen Mother Pharmaceutical team, working with Yuren, Qingluan, Three-legged Black, Nine-Tailed Fox, etc. After Jin Toad and Jade Rabbit were dispatched to the Guanghan Palace Pharmaceutical Branch, Jin Toad was responsible for collecting Ganoderma lucidum fairy grass, and pounding it with Toad Crisp and Cinnamon Branches to make ** pills that can prolong life. The elixir pounded by the Jade Rabbit is complicated, containing nearly 100 kinds of rare materials in the sky, underground and water, which come from rare plants, animals and minerals, such as Chinese purple honey, blue sea langcai, Yiling Lin gall, Tiandesert giant grass, Zhongshan white gum, nine-colored phoenix brain, Liuyuan whale eye, and ......... of the water spirit clamMost of them are unheard of things, and just by listening to the name, you know that everything is not so easy to obtain, and you have to go to the heavens, the earth, and the sea, and risk your life to get them.
But after thinking about it, we can't imagine according to the thinking of ordinary people, and think that it is almost impossible to collect these medicinal materials. After all, the immortals have their own immortal law, and we ordinary people feel that we can't do things at all, maybe the immortals will solve it between the immortals
