Why is the birthday boy called the Old Man of Antarctica?

In traditional Chinese culture, older people are called the Antarctic Old Man. This is mainly because there is an Antarctic Immortal in the Chinese mythology system who is the representative of the Chinese longevity star, so sometimes A title like "old man" can be regarded as a kind of endearment. Among the various gods in China, Nanjixianweng is a relatively down-to-earth god, and the main responsibility of this god is to provide longevity and happiness. Therefore, many old people will call them Shoubi Nanshan when they are older. , which actually means the same thing.

In The Romance of the Gods, the Antarctic Immortal is actually an apprentice of Yuanshi Tianzun. Yuanshi Tianzun has never dared to look at him with a straight eye because of his advanced Taoism. But Nanji Immortal once thought that his magic power had reached a very advanced level, so he insisted on pulling Yuanshi Tianzun to let him see his apprentice, so Yuanshi Tianzun opened his eyes and stared at Nanji Immortal, but he didn't expect that Nanji Immortal was weak in Taoism. It started to disappear. At this time, Yuanshi Tianzun randomly grabbed a treasure from the treasure bag on his back and threw it on the head of the Antarctic Immortal, which stabilized the Antarctic Immortal's soul so that it did not scatter. Therefore, the image of the Antarctic Immortal in the back has a swollen head like a peach. This is the historical origin.
