Introduction of Xi Wang Mu - Wang Mu Niang Niang (瑤池元君西王母)


 

Xi Wang Mu (西王母) aka Wang Mu Niang Niang (王母娘娘) or Yao Chi Jin Mu (瑤池金母), in certain context of Taoism, she's also being address as Xi Hua Di Jun (西華帝君) or Xi Hua Yuan Jun (西華元君).

In Taoism, she's consider the First Lady Deity among the whole Deities System. Whenever a new Lady Deity or Immortal being accepted or gets enlightenment, the Lady Deity or Immortal will have to approach her for her acceptance and also the "official registration" approved by her (為三界眾女仙之主).

Due to she's the First form of "Negative - Yin" energy of the Universe, she's being created in a form of Lady (which shows/represents Motherly-Love, Caring, etc)

Usually the Taoists or Folks will celebrate her Birthday on the 3rd Day of Lunar 3rd Month or 18th Day of 7th Month (一般相信﹐王母華誕為農曆七月十八日。三月初三日則是王母蟠桃會).

    Hey bro I think this one could be Tow Hua Niu Niu(peach blossom lady) because of position of sword special to the deity. What do you think?

    This statue is a Wen form of Xi Wang Mu - scholar form, which represent authority of supervision.

    This is a very rare form of Wang Mu, seldom you can see it in any temples in SEA, only in Taiwan.

    This is in the Military form, the opposite of the Scholar form. It represent Authority and Military Power. The tiger at the bottom is a form of recognition for military and also, in some contexts, the initial form of Wang Mu is somehow like a tiger.

    Thats belong to Folks Culture, which usually are classfied as the boy assistants of Wang Mu.

    But in Taoism, we do not have them.

    3.還有 有的人說：“王母娘娘是玉皇大帝的母親” 這是對馬？ 如果不對 那誰是玉皇大帝的母親 誰是玉皇大帝的父親

    正統道教中﹐玉皇並無所謂得皇后及母親。

    這些只有在民間小說中出現。

    西王母即是金母元君也是王母娘娘﹐她屬於宇宙中得一股極陰之氣﹐在與東王公相碰之後﹐而產生宇宙中得雷與火。

    如果以一般民間傳說﹐王母之夫應該是東王公而非玉皇大天尊。

    太元玉女並非無極老母。無極老母只是民間所創作之神﹐並非正統道教教中仙真。

    如果以一般民間傳說﹐王母之夫應該是東王公而非玉皇大天尊。
    if this is the case, 西王母乃众女仙之首(since she's the first lady?)，东王公=男仙之首？then jade emperor? then wats the hierachy like? abit confused.
    and by the way, 东王公=扶桑丹霖大帝？why pple relate him as 水井公？（can see him in kim hock keng).

    just thot of this random qsn when reading this =)

  18. jave wu2 April 2009 at 11:06

    Yes, Dong Wang Gong is considered as the Main Deity that take charge of New Male Deities after they got Immortal-hood.

    Jade Emperor of Heaven is the "Leader" that Lead ALL the Realms of in this Universe, so to be more accurate, he does not look into these "Small Issues", but in whole, Jade Emperor of Heaven is still the one who authorised their Titles before they can get Immortal-hood.

    扶桑丹霖大帝 is one of the Official Title of Dong Wang Gong. And due to this Title 扶桑, many Folks also tend to relate him as the Main Deity of Japan (in Ancient Day, Japan is known as 扶桑).

    And also because of this Title, Folks make him a Deity that Guard the Well - 水井公, which totally wrong.

  19. kenneth tan2 April 2009 at 14:14

    ooo icic... and so whose the deity who guard the well instead of dong wang gong? or he doesnt even exist?

  20. jave wu2 April 2009 at 14:18

    All Waterly Realm Deities (you can see them in my Web here). There's one outside Jurong West Jin Fu Gong. Thats the one....

  21. kenneth tan2 April 2009 at 14:35

    outside??? but they say that one is fu sang dan lin da di. =D they wrote it in their anniversary booklet. so i guess they combined well deity = dong wang gong = dan lin da di

  22. jave wu2 April 2009 at 18:52

    Hmmm, I think they change a lot of the Official Taoist Deities into Folks Culture Characters. Cos last time when I was there, things didnt change.

    Haizzz.. nvm la, maybe this is what they want, so we cant comment much.

    Hi Shifu,
    if Wang Mu is the First form of "Negative - Yin" energy of the Universe, then which deity is the first form of "Positive - Yang" energy of the universe, that is manifested at the same time with Wang Mu? As far as I understand there is no yang if there is no yin, and the opposite. Before yin and yang exist, there is nothing.

    Since Wang Mu is related to Yin Energy, does it mean, that the end of lunar month is the best time for honouring Her?

    Thank you in advance.

    Warm regards,
    Yang

  26. jave wu18 September 2009 at 18:08

    Yes, Wang Mu is somehow addressed or known as the Negative Energy, but this Negative Energy is not the Normal Negative Energy that exist in the Mortal Realm, so we dont honour her during the End of the Month.

  27. Jia Yang18 September 2009 at 18:24

    Shifu, how about my other question?
    Who is the first form of "Positive - Yang" energy in the universe as opposite of Wang Mu?

    Best regards,
    Yang

  35. jave wu3 May 2010 at 13:17

    In Taoism, Praise Mantra is the most important, other than this, the rest are not important. Cos most of them are newly made by the folks.

    Interesting question from user jiutian!
    Shifu, is there example that deity in heaven realm has wife or husband? or is it just humanisation of deities?

  42. jave wu6 May 2010 at 03:39

    Most of them are just being humanized like Mortal. Most of the Taoist Deities are just gusts of Energies.

    Then how is wang mu niang niang related to yu huang da di

    ReplyDelete
  45. jave wu6 May 2010 at 09:53

    She is just considered as the Subordinate of Yu Huang Tian Zun.

    In Taoism, Wang Mu is connected with Dong Wang Gong (東王公) rather than Yu Huang.
