When is grandma Taishan's birthday?

Celebrate grandma Taishan's birthday on March 15 of the lunar calendar every year.

Grandma Taishan is a local common name, but actually she is the Yuan Jun of Bi Xia in Buddhism. It is said that she took a fancy to this treasure trove of geomantic omen. Of course, the old gentleman in Taishang saw it first, so she took off her embroidered shoes and hid them under the rock where the old gentleman in Taishang inserted his sword. A few months later, they came to the mountain again. When arguing about this mountain, it was proved by token that there were embroidered shoes under the sword of Taishang Laojun, so Taishang Laojun had to give up this mountain.

According to historical records, Princess Bi Xia was a jade girl in her previous life and was one of the golden wedding statues. It first appeared in the Han Dynasty. In the Five Dynasties, the hall collapsed suddenly, the golden boy turned into a breeze, and the jade girl was hidden in the pool. So when the temple was built in Mount Tai, Jade Girl was awarded "Princess Bi Xia", dedicated to protecting the healthy growth of children on the earth.

According to the custom here, the person who wishes must steam the pasta of the zodiac, or hide in the mountains as a clay figurine. According to legend, it is most effective for Bi Xia Yuan Jun to come here to make a wish from 0: 00 to dawn on March 15 of the lunar calendar. Generally, there are bright lights on the mountains and foothills of this night, and the desire for pilgrimage has reached its climax at this time. No matter what the weather is like at that time, the wishing person will stick to it in order to get what he wants.
