Is there really a Nezha in history?
According to scholars' research, Nezha first wrote Nezha, which appeared in the Tang Dynasty and later appeared in Buddhist scriptures related to Vishnu. Vishnu, also known as the King of Vishnu, is the patron saint of Buddhism and one of the Buddhist gods in ancient India. Later, with the introduction of Buddhism, Buddhism was introduced to China. According to Buddhist scriptures, Nezha is the third son of this heavenly king and one of the Buddhist gods. Therefore, the image of Nezha first appeared in China, which should be in the Tang Dynasty. Surprisingly, this young hero, who has been loved by China people for thousands of years, turned out to be a god from other ancient civilizations.

In fact, there is another version of the story about the real origin of Nezha, which shows its exoticism. Legend has it that after Nezha committed suicide, his soul wandered around and had nowhere to live. So he begged his mother to build a temple for himself because of his wife, so that he could enjoy the offerings of human incense and be reborn three years later. One day after the temple was built, father Li Jing passed by, but burned the temple with a torch. Later, Taiyi rebuilt his body with lotus flowers and lotus roots. After rebirth, Nezha can be transformed into three heads and six arms, each hand holding the same weapon, and the power is higher. At this moment, the first thing he can't wait to do is to kill his cold father.

This is the most difficult part for China people to understand and accept in the whole Nezha legend, which obviously violates the ethical framework respected by China people for thousands of years. But this legend indirectly provides evidence that Nezha came from other ancient nationalities. However, looking at the development and evolution of Nezha worship, it seems that all this has not affected China people's love for it. ?
