In previous articles, we have talked about small teams on the immortal genealogy. They have both "three-person groups", "four-person groups", "eight-person groups", "ten-person groups", and even a group of dozens of people. The topic we are going to discuss today is still the "combinations" in the immortal genealogy, but this time we will only talk about those "triples".

So, how many can you say about the "three-person combination" in the immortal genealogy?

(I) Sanqing

"Three Pure Ones" are the three highest-ranking gods in the Taoist immortal genealogy, namely, Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun , Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun , and Taiqing Daode Tianzun. If the immortal genealogy is compared to a pyramid, then the one located on the top of the tower is the "Three Pure Ones". Because the status of the "Three Qingshu" is so high, almost all Taoist temples have " Sanqing Hall ", and the location of the "Three Qingshu Hall" is often still on the central axis of the entire Taoist temple.

(2) The Three Officials Emperor

"Three Officials Emperor" refers to "Heaven Official", "Earth Official" and "Water Official", which originated from the ancients' natural worship of heaven, earth and water. "Three Officials Emperor" is also called "Three Yuan Emperor", which corresponds to the Shangyuan Festival, Zhongyuan Festival, and Lower Yuan Festival in traditional festivals. According to legend, the Shangyuan Festival is the birth of the heavenly official, the Zhongyuan Festival is the birth of the earthly official, and the Xiayuan Festival is the birth of the water official. The ancients admired " Three Officials " very much, because - Tianguan gave blessings to , the local officials forgive sins, and Water officials relieved the disaster.

(Three) Sanmao True Lord

"Sanmao True Lord" has indeed had a person in history. They were the three famous Taoist priests of the Western Han Dynasty and were said to have all ascended to the Tao later. "Sanmao Zhenjun" is still a brother. The eldest is called Maoying , the second is called Mao Gu, and the third is called Mao Zhong, collectively known as " Sanmao Jun ", which is "Sanmao Zhenjun".

(IV) Sanxiao Niangniang

In fact, "Sanxiao Niangniang" has no formal compilation in the Taoist immortal genealogy. They are just fictional characters in the novel " Fengshen Yanyi ". However, "The Investiture of the Gods" is so famous that many of the characters in it have become gods worshipped by the people. According to the records of "Fengshen", "Sanxiao Niang" refers to Yunxiao, Qiongxiao , and Bixiao. The three of them are the sisters of the God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming , and they practice on Sanxian Island.

or above is the "three-person combination" in the immortal genealogy, that is, Sanqing, Sanguan, Sanmao, and Sanxiao. Dear friends, besides them, what other "three-person combinations" do you know? Welcome to leave a message to discuss and express your opinions!
