Origin and Formation
  Gods Samsung birthday in the elderly, is a civilian dress kindly, amiable, but in ancient times, he was standing in the Wei Yan Xingguan. Longevity for the elderly, has experienced the evolution of how, and how the star from a dignified official, for the most amiable of the secular evolution of gods?
  Birthday that Canopus, the West is the name of astronomy α Carinae star in the Southern Hemisphere is about 50 degrees south latitude, in northern China in fact very difficult to see. Sima Qian's "Shi Ji-day official books" in the records, the Qin Dynasty unified the world when construction began in the capital Xianyang birthday Temple, dedicated to the Antarctic Canopus. But the worship of his reasons, but with today's very different. The effect that to see god of longevity, peace and harmony; see indicates that there will be war to happen. Early astrology works, also talked about the color the more bleak if the Canopus, or even seen to occur indicates that there will be war.
  Indeed, peace and prosperity in ancient China short and scarce. A rule of a mess for decades. Long period of division together, together for a long time to divide. The Fengyun Canopus hidden, at precisely the perfect symbol of this volatile situation. But not enough merely symbolic, ancient astrologers, astrology gas, is a strong practical utilitarian purpose. Canopus then the practical value of the Antarctic where? Perhaps lies in his old identity, and he can carry an important ethical values --- that is, Respect, filial piety.
  Eastern Han Dynasty during the reign of Emperor Ming, who presided over a ritual birthday ceremony. He personally dedicated offerings, pay tribute to the funeral oration delivered. Also arranged a special dinner, it was entirely of seventy years old. This world as long as at least 70 years of age, regardless of noble or civilian, are eligible to become the Han Emperor Ming of the guest of honor. After the feast, wine and meat presented the emperor sago, and the exquisite workmanship of the cane knife.
  This event recorded in the "Han Chi etiquette", the same birthday in heaven and earth worship the long-lived people, the Han Emperor Ming is a major undertaking.
  Respecting elderly people, is the embodiment of good nature. The Han Emperor Ming to take this opportunity to show their respect for the old virtues, no doubt hitu win over the people's political show. Not only promote the Han Emperor Ming also gives the old privileges. Banquet, the king issued the rod is proof.
  Wang stick, also known as pigeon stick, stick to the top is a dove as the bird statue. Emperor gift dove stick to the elderly, because the turtle is said to choke the bird, it could be wished well-being of the elderly diet, health and longevity. So what kind of privilege on behalf of Zhebing stick it?
  View of the Han system laws and institutions literature, when a similar account of Dahir. Why just because the elderly can have privileges, why Han government and strict legislation, to impose respect for the old piety it?
  This is because Respect is not only a virtue, it is still derived Filial Piety in the feudal dynasty to govern. Filial piety is the core of the patriarchal subject. Jun Qin Confucianism advocates the world in five human division, equivalent to the parent-child relationship between monarch and his subjects. So praise to promote filial piety is in fact loyal character.
  Since the Antarctic Canopus assume such an important task of enlightenment, the ancient astrological house that he is about the fortunes rise and fall of the god of longevity, not surprising. But the heavy political overtones made him deviate from the original meaning of the pledge of longevity. Ordinary people are more concerned about how they can live forever. So to provide solutions Taoism, proper way is to create a successful practitioner of longevity.
  Peng Town, Meishan City, Sichuan, "Huayang" home of record is the PANG. Pengshan people on the birthday of heaven is the world's PANG, as he maintained the highest longevity record ---- 767 years old. This statement from the Eastern Jin Dynasty Taoist Ge Hong's book "Immortal Biography."
  767 years old nature is not credible, but history seems to a real person PANG. "Records of the Chu family," recorded in his illustrious background, he is one of the Five Emperors grandson of Zhuan Xu. Looking back from the Xia to the Shang dynasty altogether lived nearly 800 years old. The story of his long life had been passed as early as the Qin and Han ago. Qu Yuan's poem "Heaven" and once referred to him, Confucius and Zhuang Zhou in their own works also as a longevity of his model.
  PANG, though not the stars official, but people sure he mastered a _set_ of health approach is in real life get to live forever by the successful cultivation. This is also the one with the birthday of his combined reasons.
  Can live to 767 years old, this is how an immortal Regime? "Zhuangzi deliberately" in the record: renewal and extension bears by birds, guided the surgery, Peng Zushou the test were good. Renewal and is wrote with the idea of regulation of breathing, stretching and guided bear by the birds is how the case?
  Imitation of the so-called Bear Bear is climbing by the action, the so-called extension is to imitate birds, especially birds, wings eagerly crane stance. It can be seen, PANG, guided technique is actually a physical imitation of animal movements fitness gym.
  Taoism teaches that is immortal and eternal. World metaplasia things, gave birth to life, this is perfection of the Dade Most Gracious heaven and earth. It is merciful that day, the original life-giving and also teach people the art of longevity. But then immersed in a variety of material desires that people bring superficial utilitarian happiness unable to extricate themselves, so gradually lost longevity instinct. But there are remedies that Imitation of Nature, the animals learn to nature.
  Imitation bear, because he could hibernation for months without eating, health at home that this is because he understands the art of fresh air refraining from eating grain. The reason seems to imitate the fancy crane his elegant, comfortable, and spread upward liftoff Happy; might have imagined themselves immortal moment, it should be as leisurely as the crane.
  Wei has gradually become the Taoist system of health theory. PANG care were the writings of many dozens, the "PANG cultivation by", "Pengzu She gave birth to sexual theory" and "emergency preparedness cultivation PANG party" and so on. In addition to guided qigong, alchemy, traditional Chinese medicine theory to health and curing diseases, it also involves cooking food, and housing in the operation.
  Taoist classics already mentioned these two physical needs of people "food, color, sex also" that this is the inherent desire. Regarded as a scourge and Confucian attitude diametrically opposed, PANG Regime is not shy about eating about color and its content as an important practice.
  The so-called food, is food cooking operation. PANG chef industry will be the last as their patron deity, the annual Lunar New Year Day --- Legend Pengzu Sheng, the country's master chef Peng gathered outside the temple east of Xuzhou, paid respects to their patron deity PANG. PANG is on record as the first gourmet chefs and skilled. Back in Qu Yuan's "Heaven", in relation to that pheasant soup prepared PANG dedicated to the famous story of Emperor Yao.
  PANG craft the superb cooking, was able to cure chronic anorexia, then eat their way to the concept of health and longevity will be easily accepted.
  Diet health cooking technique was then incorporated into the theory and with the guidance Fitness complement each other. Imitation of body movements and longevity of animals can live forever, while the other is a more direct way to put it eaten. So-called longevity animals such as turtles, deer, turtles have become longevity tonic, with gymnastics and cooking food guide to health and longevity purposes, can be described as both.
  Then the bedroom arts, and why the theory was seen as an important health content? This is because the ancient analogy for men and women in the world, the transfer of chemical and biological world of all things, men and women joining the family line, it is an imitation of intercourse between men and women to reconcile the yin and yang, heaven and earth road. Theory seems to Taoism Health, fangzhongshu cultivation method is immortal.
  Integration of the Taoist concept of health, longevity also occurred a corresponding change in the image. The most prominent to the number of his gigantic forehead. This is the Yongle Palace Murals in Shanxi, may be the birthday of the oldest surviving image. Thousands of bits fairy palace in Paradise, we recognize him at a glance, because the door of his super brain child.
  History of the gate on the brain, a variety of speculation, it was felt rejuvenated from the phenomenon of the brain the door, the elderly and children have many similarities on the physical characteristics. Sparse hair, such as newborn babies, the elderly as well. The lack of hair, the forehead becomes very natural.
  Longevity of the brain gate, created by the Ancient Regime longevity images are closely related. Such as the red-crowned crane head to high uplift. Another example peach, is special for the Queen Mother's peach of longevity at the fairy fruit, the legend is three thousand three thousand years a result of a bloom, immediately after eating immortal live forever. Perhaps it is because all these longevity superimposed image fusion, and ultimately the longevity of the brain created the door.
  Changes in longevity of the stick shows the weakening of his political education. Privileges of the original symbol of the turtle is the king carved stick, and replaced with a two-edged mahogany cane. It is said that Wood can physical illnesses, prolong life.
  Folklore is in the northeast of the earth evil place to live, there was a gate, called a ghost of the door and shut out evil spirits. It is said that Heaven is a gateway to do with the mahogany. For insurance purposes, but also planted two peach trees in the front to the town of evil spirits. Interestingly, the modern scientific discovery, peach juice does contain some special ingredients to inhibit bacterial growth. Peach trees in the past is blind in Chinese medicine, and people believe that towards the northeast, the direction is towards the Ghosts of peach branches --- the drug best. A symbol of privilege over the last King of the rod, is now the hands of physical illnesses and longevity birthday mascot.
  Changsha, Hunan, longevity Street, because here there was a large-scale temple named after the god of longevity. According to local history records, the early Tang Dynasty temple here has a birthday, until the Republic of China. Said that when strong incense, burn incense and a lot of people here to pray for a special trip to bless birthday.
  Further south, more than a hundred years, can reach a real paradise --- Mountain of longevity, which is often referred to many happy returns couplet in the hills. Tang and Song dynasties, the temple hill has a size of no less than ten birthday, this birthday the existing pavilion, is a relic of the Song Dynasty.
  But the ancient worship of the Mountain of the Lord God is not the god of longevity, but longevity Great Antarctic. This was built in the Tang Dynasty, for his Nan Yue Temple is built. Old and in the Five Sacred Mountains of the gods, the gods are worshiped by the natural evolution from the. The so-called longevity longevity means the Antarctic, may also come from the imagination of the ancient climate of the south. The birthday also happens to be the position in the sky in the direction south, people think from the birthday here recently vowed to burn incense, religious expression was longevity naturally easy to hear.
  In later folklore, often also the Great longevity of Antarctica and the Antarctic Canopus is a confused, perhaps because they have a name in the Antarctic, and close to the concept of longevity longevity's sake. In the immortal lineage, the status of these two gods are higher than PANG. PANG Although the longevity proper way, but that is of historical figures, more than the Great Antarctic and Antarctic Canopus not generally honored the gods.
  So talk about longevity, or in Antarctica is best known as Canopus or Nanjixianweng.
  Since the Yuan and Ming, the immortal has expanded steadily, and god bless longevity is a must do their homework. If the Great Antarctic, South bucket Big Dipper, Zodiac life insurance Zhenjun, xxxvi Plough, sixty natal Jiazi God, etc., have blessed the functions of longevity. Uncontrolled-making God, the result was decentralization has greatly reduced the longevity of the divine.
  Since the Qin and Han Ming government ordered the cancellation of national sacrifice has followed the birthday system. Birthday completely removes political overtones, since a large step into the private sector, to become the most secular character of ancient Chinese gods.
  Pengshan County old birthday birthday to the elderly population will put up a birthday portrait. Please God down to earth though often a mere formality, but the old man happy birthday party can win is real. Family members gathered, many children, dining, enjoy their grandchildren. This scene is the expression of filial piety and family ties of family rituals, birthday portrait is essential auspicious symbols.
  Custom birthday birthday is not popular at first, perhaps from a simple idea: because people think they are actually lowering the mother's birthday on Good Friday. Cherish the memory of their parents for their birthday grace and festive atmosphere of very consistency. After the Ming and Qing dynasties, to the old custom of birthday gradually rise. Kangxi and Qianlong unprecedented event several times, so that people can be prosperous birthday customs. One of the most lavish birthday party is held in thousands of Qianlong emperor feast Minds. This year, 74-year-old Emperor Qianlong, and Hydergine V, great-great-grandson, the emperor claimed to be seventy years of age, Shiquan elderly. His six-year-old Ban Zhao please people over the world on behalf of a total of six thousand people, to the Forbidden City to dinner to celebrate his birthday.
  This called "Longevity Festival" at the time the picture depicts the grand occasion. Under the old people helped his family was invited to dinner, filled the streets of the capital.
  Calling the shots, from the Qing Dynasty has become common practice for the elderly birthday party birthday. And gradually form a complex ritual pomp, some old rules have also been followed to this day.
  Principles such as birthday, the age, the general is too integral life, that is, forty, fifty, sixty. But the seventies and later, much additional argument. 77, also known as hi life, as a shorthand for the word hi look even pen apart is 77,88 meters, also called life, which is Chaizi argument.
  This is because over seventy rare ancient times, more and more a way of saying the whole family will make the elderly happy chance reunion. Hundred years later, it is to be done every year, and especially to do a big way. This is the expression of filial sons and daughters, hoping to give the elderly more happiness. The family, family, love always respect the Chinese an important part of traditional morality. Birthday ceremony is outside of this form of virtue.
  Although longevity is no longer with the divine majesty, but because of the needs of private ethical life from generation to generation.

  Integration of the Taoist concept of health, but also the image of the god of longevity corresponding changes occur, the most prominent to the number of children his gigantic forehead. Shanxi murals in Yongle Palace birthday, may be the birthday of the oldest surviving image. Thousands of bits in the Yongle Palace gods, we recognize him at a glance, because the door of his super brain child.
