Introduction on Lv Shan Sect Lian Hua Qing Ting Tong Zi (閭山蓮花蜻蜓童子)

 
Lian Hua Qing Ting Tong Zi (蓮花蜻蜓童子) aka Immortal Boy of Dragonfly in Red Lotus.

Due to the outlook of this Immortal Boy, alot of the Folks Culture may mistaken it as a Nether World Deity or a Newly Man-made Deity. At first, I do have such impression too, but after going in-depth into the Study and the use of the Salvation Scriptures, then I started to learn more and know more about this Wonderful Cute Little Immortal Boy.

According to Scriptures of Taoist Lv Shan Sect (道教閭山派), Lian Hua Qing Ting Tong Zi was one of the Assistants of Zhu Sheng Niang Niang (註生娘娘) and Lin Shui Fu Ren Chen Jing Gu (臨水夫人陳靖姑). Besides the normal Gu Hua Tong Zi (顧花童子), Hua Gong & Hua Po (花公花婆 see introduction links below) that assist Zhu Sheng Niang Niang and Lin Shui Fu Ren in looking after the Pre-born Babies' Souls, Lian Hua Qing Ting Tong Zi is one of the Spiritual Assistants that helps in "Transporting" the Babies' Souls to a destinated around for "Reborn".

Just like what being mentioned in the Title of this Immortal Boy, Dragonfly in Red Lotus, Qing Ting Tong Zi will get an order from Zhu Sheng Niang Niang, to Transport the Souls to a Red Lotus and while the Time is up, the Qing Ting Tong Zi will tend hand the Souls to Marshal Gao Yuan (監生高元帥) in-order to deliver the destinated Souls to the Families where the Babies shall "Reborn" to.

Once the Transporting of the Souls is done, then the task of Qing Ting Tong Zi will considered complete.

Nowadays, Qing Ting Tong Zi can be seen in the form of a Little Boy with the Wings of Dragonfly, stepping on a Lotus and hand carrying a Bowl or Box. In the Olden Days, Qing Ting Tong Zi can only be seen in the form of a Little Boy holding onto a small box with a little Dragonfly on top.
