The Story of Wushan Goddess Yao Ji, Mythical Story: Yao Ji, the Daughter of Emperor Yan

Mythical Story: Yao Ji, the Daughter of Emperor Yan: The fourth daughter of Emperor Yan is the most beautiful and fashionable among the sisters. The most affectionate thing is that she longed for it, dreaming of the pink dream of a young girl in bloom. In several dreams, the handsome prince came to pick her up on a white horse, but he was awakened by the magpie every time. As the saying goes, God is jealous of beauties, and beauties are miserable. The four girls were entangled in each other for no reason, and the bed collapsed, and they contracted an unknown terminal illness. Her silver bell-like laughter could no longer be heard in the garden or by the river. Although Emperor Yan is the god of medicine, medicine can cure diseases but not life. The girl finally died. Her body was buried in the flower-covered Guyao Mountain, and her fragrant soul turned into fragrant stems of grass. The flower color of the stem grass is bright yellow, the leaves are twin, and the fruits are like dodder. If a woman eats the stem fruit, she will become bright, beautiful and lovable.

It is said that the stem of grass on Guyao Mountain absorbs the essence of the sun during the day and the moonlight at night. After a few years, she cultivated into the goddess of Wushan and was named Yao Ji. Dayu controlled the floods, dug mountains and rivers all the way to the foot of Wushan Mountain, and prepared to build canals to release floods. Suddenly, a hurricane broke out, blowing until the sky was dark, the earth shook, the mountains shook, sand and rocks flew, and layers of flood peaks rushed towards us like continuous mountains. Yu was caught off guard and evacuated the river bank to seek help from Wushan goddess Yao Ji. Yao Ji admired Yu Mo's spirit of putting his own heel in order to benefit the world, and felt pity for the victims who had left their homes and lost all their property. She then taught Yu Chai the magic of conquering ghosts and the book of heaven to prevent wind and floods, helping him to stop the hurricane; she also sent her courtiers Kuangzhang, Yu Yu, Huang Mo, Dayi, Gengchen, Tong Lu, and Niao Mutian sacrificed magic weapons such as thunder and fire beads and electric snake whips, and blasted a gorge in Wushan, causing floods to flow out of Bashu through Wu Gorge and into the river. The people of Bashu who suffered from floods were saved.

Yao Ji

Thousands and thousands of years ago, during the Warring States Period, King Huai of Chu went hunting in Yunmengze and rested in the Gaotang Pavilion. In the haze, he saw a woman curling up. When she came, she said to herself: "My emperor's daughter, named Yao Ji, died before she left, and was sealed in the Wushan Tower. Her essence is grass, which is actually called Ganoderma lucidum." The King of Chu saw that her "hands were like catkins. Her skin is like gelatin, her collar is like a cricket grub, her teeth are like gourds and rhinoceros, her head is like a rhinoceros, her eyebrows are furry, her smile is charming, and her beautiful eyes are looking forward to it." ("The Book of Songs. Wei Feng. Shuo Ren"). I was so amazed that I fell in love with him, so I stayed. A romantic story. The king of Chu suddenly woke up from his dream. There was no trace of his fragrance, but the lingering fragrance still existed. The king could not forget his love for Yao Ji, so he went to Wu Mountain, where he saw beautiful peaks and ridges, steaming clouds and rosy clouds. It was said in his hometown that these clouds were transformed by the goddess. They belonged to the sky above and fell into the abyss. They were as lush as pine trees and as beautiful as a charming girl. Wang lamented that "there was a time when there was no water in the sea, but nothing but clouds except Wushan" (Four of Five Poems on Lisi by Yuan Zhen of the Tang Dynasty). He built a pavilion on the side of the river near Wushan and named it "Chaoyun" to express his memory.

Yu meets Yao Ji

Where has Yao Ji gone? She is standing on the high cliff, looking up, staring at the Seven Hundred Miles Three Gorges , staring at the flowing water flowing eastward, staring at the birds on the river, the flowers on the riverside, and the sails in the center of the river. She stood on the top of the mountain every day, and over time, she transformed into a beautiful and steep peak, which is the Goddess Peak we see today; the maids who accompanied her also transformed into the current Twelve Peaks of Wushan. As the years pass and the stars move, Goddess Peak silently faces the passing water. What is she thinking about? Does she miss her loving father Yandi? Does she think of her naughty little sister?
