Hello, I am a passer-by, an ordinary person who likes mythology!
"I don't have the wings of a colorful phoenix, but I have a clear connection in my heart", "I look back lazily at the flowers in the bushes, I am half a monk and half a king", "My clothes are getting wider and I don't regret it, I feel haggard because of Yi"... ...
There are a lot of poems and songs describing love like this, because love and marriage have been the most important things for everyone since ancient times. So do you know who are the gods in charge of marriage in mythology? Today I would like to share with you the nine gods in charge of marriage in mythology, including a god who specializes in same-sex marriage!
NO.1 NuwaEmpress
Nuwa Empress, also called Emperor Wa or Nvyin, is the humanistic ancestor of the Chinese nation, the oldest and most powerful righteous god in orthodox mythology; about her legend, I believe no one I don’t know, especially the stories about Nuwa creating humans and Nuwa patching up the sky, which I have heard since I was a child. Therefore, she is also called the mother of the human race and the mother of the earth.
But few people know that she is also the god in charge of marriage, and is the earliest god in charge of marriage in Chinese mythology. Legend has it that after Nuwa created humans, the human race had no concept of marriage. Men and women could be matched at will. If a man fell in love with a woman, he could make her his wife; conversely, if a woman fell in love with a man, she could make her her husband.
In this way, the relationship between men and women is chaotic, and it is common for newborn children to only know their mother but not their father. Seeing this, Nuwa felt that it was inappropriate, so she discussed with her husband Fuxi, established the original marriage system, and had the authority to control marriages.
Regarding this point, it is also recorded in "Customs": "Nuwa prayed to the gods and became a matchmaker because she wanted to get married."
NO.2 Fu Yuan Xian Weng
Fu Yuan Xian Weng, the original god in Fengshen Romance, He is the boss of the old man under the moon, the god in charge of the marriage of all living beings in the three realms; his origin is extremely mysterious, the only time he appeared was at the banquet of the Jade Emperor. There is no other introduction, but since he can participate in the Jade Emperor Judging from the banquet, he must be an extremely powerful god.
And there is such a passage in Chapter 67 of Fengshen:
Ziya said: "Where does brother Tao come from?" The Taoist said: "The poor Taoist is an old man with the moon; because the immortal Fu Yuan once said that Princess Longji and Hong Jin has an earthly marriage, and he has made a promise with red silk, so Pindao came to inform him; secondly, he can protect Ziya's soldiers and help him through the five passes. As the daughter of the Jade Emperor, Princess Ji must be the apple of his eye and loved her very much. But just because Fu Yuanxianweng said that she was destined to be married to Hong Jin, the Jade Emperor had to let his beloved Long Ji go down to earth to meet Hong Jin. Get married.
This Fuyuan Immortal has a high status and great power. From this, it can be seen that he is not just a marriage god. I am afraid he has other origins, but it is a pity that it is not stated in the title. 3 月老
Yue Lao, also known as Chai Huangdao, is also the most well-known god of marriage in Chinese mythology. Legend has it that he holds two magic weapons in charge of marriage. The first is the marriage book, and the second is the red line of marriage;
This marriage book can check the love and marriage of all living beings in the three realms and six realms. As long as you write the name of the person you want to check on it, you can know what the other person's destined marriage is; the second marriage is The red thread is also known as 'a thousand-mile marriage is tied by a thin thread'. Those who are tied to both ends of the red thread will forcibly form a fate, rely on the guidance of the unknown, meet, know each other, fall in love, and create a good story.
Because of this red thread. If it is too contrary to the heavens, there will be no fate, or it can be forcibly formed. If it is used too much, it will easily disturb the order of the three realms. Therefore, this thing cannot be used by Yue Lao, and even if it is used by Yue Lao, it will be entangled in cause and effect every time it is used, and it cannot be easily lifted.
Therefore, even Yue Lao will not use the red thread easily. Only when he meets those lovers whose love is stronger than gold but are facing many disasters, Yue Lao will use the red thread, the beauty of adulthood.
NO.4 Tianxi star
Tianxi star, in myths and legends, is one of the stars under the throne of Emperor Ziwei. Because Tianxi star is a lucky star among the stars in the bucket group, it represents the joy of wedding banquets. Tianxi star is also in charge of marriage. He is also considered as the God of Marriage.
Legend has it that the happy star on this day is none other than Emperor Xin, the king of Shang Zhou who was played to death by the fox demon Su Daji when he was conferring a god. Although he was stupid and unprincipled, according to the rules of conferring a god, all those who were in the conferred god Famous figures who died in battle will be listed on the list of gods and participate in the canonization of gods, and King Zhou will naturally be no exception. The Jiang Ziya who was a god on behalf of the sky, thinking that he was deeply in love with Su Daji, he made her a Tianxi star, in charge of human marriages.
NO.5 Hongluan star
Hongluan star, like Tianxi star, is a lucky star among the stars. It controls marriages and happy events in the world, and is also one of the most familiar gods of marriage. People often use "Red Luan Star Moving" to express the impending love and marriage.

The Yuan Fu Immortal, who was forced by the Immortal to marry Hong Jin, had to go down to earth to go to the Conferred Gods to complete the marriage; after the Conferred Gods, Long Ji was named the happy star of the day by Jiang Ziya. , in charge of human marriage.
NO.6 Rabbit God
Rabbit God, a lesser-known marriage god in myths and legends, is mainly in charge of the emotional marriage between same-sex people in the world, so they are also called The patron saint of gays! Since he does not control all marriages in the world, there are not many records about the Rabbit God. There are also few temples of the Rabbit God in the world. Today, only a few Rabbit Gods still exist in Fujian and Taiwan.
Legend has it that this rabbit god, whose real name was Hu Tianbao, fell in love with an imperial envoy from other places and could not sleep at night. He tried his best to spy on the envoy every day. In the end, he was imprisoned because of his intense gaze. The emissary found out and asked him about the reason for spying;
Hu Tianbao had no choice but to tell everything in his heart. After the emissary heard this, he was furious and killed Hu Tianbao. After Hu Tianbao's death, the King of Hell sympathized with his plight. , he was named the Rabbit God, specializing in same-sex marriages in the world.

Cupid, the god of love in Roman mythology, the son of Venus, the goddess of love and beauty, is the embodiment of love and beauty; it is the world. The most widely circulated god of marriage in the world, his appearance in mythology is a cute naked child holding a golden bow and arrow. Perhaps because he is still young, Cupid likes to play pranks and often shoots people with his bow and arrow.
If. If you are hit by a golden arrow, you will meet your destined love and start a sweet journey; but if you are hit by a lead arrow, your relationship will be irreversibly broken, because when Cupid shoots people, it is always. People who are blindfolded cannot see the specific person clearly, so there is a saying that love is blind!

Apollo, the son of Zeus, the king of gods in Greek mythology, is the person of light, prophecy, The god of music and medicine; he is the most handsome, brave and versatile god in the entire Greek pantheon.

Everyone knows that Apollo is the sun god, but few people know that he is also in charge of same-sex marriages in the world and is also the god of marriage, because he himself likes boys.
Legend has it that one day Apollo came down to earth and met a handsome mortal, Hyacinthus. He was instantly captured by Hyacinthus' otherworldly appearance and wanted to spend his life with him;
But Apollo was the only one who met Hyacinthus. In addition to Luo, there is also the god Zephyr, who also falls in love with Hyacinthus and wants to be with him.Apollo naturally did not want others to peep at the person he liked, so he agreed to compete with the God of the South Wind, and the loser voluntarily quit;
Facing the most perfect god in the divine world, the God of the West Wind naturally lost completely. He was willing to cast a spell to kill Jacintos. If he couldn't get it, he would destroy Jacintos. Finally, under Apollo's heartbreak, Hyacinthus left the world and turned into a hyacinth.
NO.9 Aphrodite
Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty in Greek mythology, is in charge of human marriage; although she is the god of love, she was born in the sea and has white porcelain skin. , with a devilish figure and an angelic face, she is one of the most beautiful goddesses in Greek mythology.
