Dear All,
After watching the Drama Series of Singapore Mediacorp Channel 8, a lot of people had approached me on the issue and the identity of the 13th Immortal Maiden (十三姑娘), and yes, in some of our Chinese Records, there are a few records on the 13th Maiden.
In here, I will do a quick introduction on the various 13th Maiden:
1 The sister of Yellow Emperor aka Huang Di (軒轅黃帝之妹).
According to the Chinese Deity Record of Taiwan, the younger sister of Huang Di, name unknown, was the sworn sister of the 12th Heavenly Maiden aka Shi Er Yan Tian Xi Nv Niang Niang (十二延天溪女娘娘).
Due to her name is not known and she is the younger sworn sister of Shi Er Yan Tian Xi Nv Niang Niang, so in the Folks Culture, she is being address as Shi San Niang Niang (十三娘娘), Shi San Huang Gu Niang (十三黃姑娘) or Shi San Niang (十三娘).
2 The 13th Daughter of the Senior General of Tang Dynasty (唐太原督都之十三女).
Her statue can still be seen in China Dun Huang Cave-carving number 130 (敦煌石窟第130號).
k u ask tcs which god r they refering to
ReplyDeleteNot possible, cos I'm once in Mediacorp doing training before, sometime, they will just pick a character from somewhere and so, some of them dont even know that there is such a Deity or Historical Character exist.
ReplyDeleteu mean they didnt do enough research n straight away anyhow use it? -.-
ReplyDeleteI cant say that they dont do research, just that, they might have approached the wrong person or the person they approached do not get enough information or research on this Deity or Character.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, in the Drama Series, they didnt really show the history background or the real statue of Shi San Gu Niang, so everything will be fine.
And I can said that, Chen Li Ping really had done a very good job in performing the character of the Medium of Shi San Gu Niang.
The statue looks like Jiu Tian Xuan Nv to me.
ReplyDeleteEven thou it may look the same or alike, as long as the statue is not being enhance, it cannot be consider as the Real Deity.
ReplyDeleteSo, its fine to use it.
