What do you mean Peng Zu turned 800?
Legend has it that Peng Zu lived for 800 years, from the Yao and Shun period to the Wuding period of Shang Dynasty, but there are also different opinions. For example, Liezi thinks that the so-called Peng Zu actually refers to several tribes of Peng and is the ancestor of Peng clan. Among them, there is a big Peng tribe, which existed when Emperor Yao was there. In Shun Di, they joined Shun. Later, when Dayu arrived, they joined him. After Dayu's death, his son Qi established the Xia Dynasty, and Dapeng tribe joined the Xia Dynasty again. In Shang Dynasty, the leader of Dapeng tribe was made an earl by Shang King, Wu Ding became the queen of Shang Dynasty, and Dapeng was destroyed by Shang Dynasty. It took more than 800 years from establishment to extinction, so the so-called Peng Zu lived for 800 years actually means that the tribe named Peng lasted for 800 years. Peng Zu's Death In ancient times, people prayed for a long life, but they couldn't resist the natural laws of birth, illness and death, so they invented a Peng Zu myth. There is a village in Xijing Town, Licheng County, Changzhi City, Shanxi Province, which is called Peng Zu's former residence and has Pengzu Temple, hence the name Pengzhuang. Peng Zu is a legend in China. It is said that he lived for more than 800 years, his wife married 100, and he was still radiant and energetic. His last wife wanted to know why, so she said to Peng Zu, "Although I am young, my health is not as good as yours. Please tell me the secret of longevity, so that we can live together forever. " Peng Zu looked at his lovely wife as beautiful as flowers and pure as jade and was happy for a while. He said, "It's no use telling you. It was because Lord Yan accidentally tore my name off the book of life and death and made a paper twist, so I am still alive. " Actually, Yan had already paid attention to Peng Zu, but he couldn't find his name, so he sent two kids to wash charcoal in the river in Peng Zu village. It happened that Peng Zu's wife went down the river to wash clothes and saw two people washing charcoal. She also muttered: "Wash black carbon, wash black carbon, wash white black carbon to sell money." Peng Zu's wife said: "My husband lived for 880 years, and I have never heard that black charcoal can wash white." The two children said they didn't believe it, so Peng Zu's wife told them the secret of Peng Zu's longevity, and the children immediately reported it to Yan. He found the paper twist and sent the heady ghost to hook Peng Zu to leave. People are probably very sorry about this, so there is a jingle: "Peng Zu lived for 880 years and shouldn't say anything to his wife." .
