Queen Mother Pan Taohui
Flat Peach Club, also known as Flat Peach Festival, Flat Peach Feast and Flat Peach Conference, is a celestial celebration gift in China mythology. According to legend, March 3rd is the birthday of the Queen Mother of the West. On this day, the Queen Mother of the West held a grand event, with flat peaches as the staple food, and all the gods and immortals came to celebrate her birthday, which was called the Flat Peach Club. The immortals also took the invitation to dinner as a symbol of honor and status, so the third day of the third lunar month became an important Taoist festival.
Flat peach is a kind of peach food in ancient myths and legends of China. Eating it can prolong life and enhance mana. The Journey to the West said in the fifth report: "There are 3,600 plants: 1,200 plants in the front, with small flowers and small fruits, which have been harvested for 3,000 years. People have become immortal after eating, and their physical fitness is light; Among them, there are 1,200 plants, the flowers are sweet and solid, and they are cooked in 6,000 years. When people eat Xiaju, they soar and live forever. There are 1,200 plants in the back, with purple-patterned kernels, which have been cooked for 9,000 years. People eat them and live as long as heaven and earth, and the sun and the moon are the same. "
The flat peach party is grand and solemn, and low-level immortals should pay attention to their behavior at the flat peach party, otherwise they will be severely punished for cheating. For example, according to The Journey to the West, a fairy novel in the Ming Dynasty, the general roller shutter (the sand monk) was punished for falling into the mortal world just because he accidentally broke a glass lamp (actually a lamp made of glass) at the flat peach party; Marshal Tianpeng (Pig Eight Rings) was punished for drunken sexual harassment of Miss Chang 'e of themoon, the number one social butterfly in the Temple of Heaven, and was reincarnated to earth, and turned into a pig because of operational mistakes. Qi Tian Da Sheng (the Monkey King) was once disqualified from attending the Flat Peach Club because of his low status, which caused him to be angry and disrupted a flat peach club. He was arrested and sentenced to death.
Dong Fangshuo, a famous humorous writer in Han Dynasty, once sneaked into the Flat Peach Club, stole peaches successfully, and rose to be a fairy.
The Queen Mother lives in Yaochi, so she is also called the Queen of Yaochi. She held a flat peach victory party in the Yaochi, and entertained all the immortals, only to be disturbed by the Monkey King, the Great Sage of Qitian. The flat peach she planted is the most magical. The small peach tree has been cooked for 3,000 years, and people who eat it are light in fitness and become immortal. Ordinary peach trees are cooked once every 6,000 years, and when people eat them, they soar in the daytime and live forever. The best one is cooked in 9,000 years. People eat it and live with heaven and earth, and live with the sun and moon. She is the most revered goddess in the Heavenly Palace. She is in charge of banquets for immortals from all walks of life in heaven, and is in charge of marriage and childbirth on earth.
