九天玄女傳古

九天九天玄女者，黃帝之師聖母元君弟子也。黃帝在昔，為有熊之國君，佐神農之孫，榆岡既衰，諸侯相伐，干戈相尋，各據方色，自稱五行之號。太皞之後，自為青帝；榆岡神農之後，自號赤帝；共工之後，自號白帝；葛天氏之後，自號黑帝；帝起有熊之墟，自號黃帝。帝乃恭己下士，側身修德，在位二十一年，而蚩尤肆孽。弟兄八十一人，獸身人語，銅頭鐵額，啖砂吞石，不食五穀，作五虎之形，以害黎庶，鑄兵於葛爐之山，不用帝命。帝欲征之，博求賢能，以為己助。得風後於海隅，得力牧於大澤，以大鴻為佐，天老為師。置三公以像三台，風後為上台，天老為中台，五聖為下台。始獲寶鼎，不爨而熟，迎日推策。以封胡為將，以夫人費修之子為太子，用張若、隰朋、力牧、容光、龍行、倉頡、容成、大撓、奢龍、眾臣以為輔翼，戰蚩尤於涿鹿。

Jiu Tian Xuan Nv aka Jiu Tian Niang Niang or Goddess of the Ninth Heaven, is actually the disciple of Huang Di's (Yellow Emperor) Master's wife - known as Sheng Mu Yuan Jun.

帝師帝師不勝，蚩尤作大霧三日，內外皆迷。風後法斗機作大車，以杓指南，以正四方。帝用憂憤，齋於太山之下。王母遣使，披玄狐之裘，以符授帝曰：精思告天，必有太上之應。居數日，大霧，冥冥書晦。玄女降焉，乘丹鳳，御景雲，服九色彩翠之衣，集於帝前。帝再拜受命，玄女曰：吾以太上之教，有疑可問也。帝稽首曰：蚩尤暴橫，毒害蒸黎，四海嗷嗷，莫保性命。欲萬戰萬勝之術，與人除害，可乎？玄女即授帝六甲、六壬兵信之符，《靈寶五符》策使鬼神之書，制襖、通靈五明之印，五陰、五陽遁甲之式，太一、十精、四神勝負握機之圖，五嶽、河圖策精之訣，九光、玉節、十絕、靈幡命魔之劍，霞冠火佩，龍戟霓旗，翠輦綠綍，虯驂虎騎，千花之蓋，八鸞之輿，羽龠、玄竿、虹旌、玉鉞神仙之物，五龍之印，九明之珠。九天之節以為兵信，五色之幡以辨五方。

During the period of Huang Di's leading, Chi You wanted to grab hold of Huang Di's Empire, so Chi You started to invade Huang Di's country.

After days of fighting, Huang Di's side couldn't meet any success. Huang Di decided to take spiritual reuqest at Mt Tai (Tai Shan). After Mother Queen of Heaven noted that, she appointed Xuan Nv down to assist Huang Di by giving Huang Di the battle advises, Holy Seal, tailsman and magical skills.

帝遂帝遂復率諸侯再戰。蚩尤驅魑魅雜襖以為陣，雨師風伯以為衛，應龍蓄水以攻於帝。帝盡制之，遂滅蚩尤於絕轡之野、中冀之鄉，塚分其四肢以葬之。由是榆岡拒命，反誅之於版泉之野。北逐獯鬻，大定四方。步四極，凡二萬八千里。乃鑄鼎立九州，置九行九德之臣，以觀天地，祠萬靈，無法設教。然後采首山之銅，鑄鼎於荊山之下，黃龍下迎，帝乘龍升天。皆由玄女之所授符策圖局也。

Soon, the battle started again, this time round, Huang Di's side won the battle.

Not long after, a yellow dragon came to the Mortal World to fetch Huang Di to the Heaven.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

From the write-up, you can see that she can consider as a person who are able to give advises on strategies, battle skills and magical power.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As for who will worship her now, usually are devotees who wanted to request for protection in Spiritual ways or people who are involved in practising Spiritual skills.

In other context, Xuan Nv is able to cure people from sickness.

Thanks for the detailed write up... prompt and translated too.
i wonder if there are many JTXN kitongs ard?

cheers!

In Spore, seldom you can see mediums that are associated to JTXN, only a very old medium that I know (they will be doing their celebration on this coming week).

And one, if i'm not wrong, shall be quite young -> i have yet to get a chance to see her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In other normal day's life, if a person is spiritual cultivated enough, he/she can directly has certain connection with JTXN.

But one thing to keep in mind, JTXN has no physical form (consider as the Pre-World Creation Deity).

bro jave, can you explain what you mean by "no physical form'?

also, where is the celebration that you were referring to? are they opened to public?

tks

Hi Jazz,

the Celebration is on this friday, address at AMK ave 10 (if i'm not wrong).

Cos this coming 18th of Lunar 8 Month is consider as the Birthday of JTXN.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What do we mean by no form?

Deities can be categorised into a few groups - 1. Pre-World/Heaven Created (Xian Tian), 2. Post-World/Heaven Created (Hou Tian) and 3. Immortals (Human cultivated to Deities).

Deities or Saints or Sage that categorised under Pre-World/Heaven Created are usually in energy forms (have been existing in the NULL - Universe for man many zillion years or even more, only manifested themselves into certain forms when they needed to appear infront of the Mortals or etc).

Such energies are usually energies that cant be destory even through certain testings or so.

JTXN is one of this form that exist in this world far before the World is formed (or opened by Pan Gu).

Whereas Hou Tian Deities are some Deities that being manifested by some form of energies (Hou Tian can be categorised into many sub groups too).

Immortals are normally human or historical characters that we know (Immortals can be categorised into many sub groups too eg: Di Xian, Xiao Xian, Ren Xian, etc).

thanks bro jave, for the information! am greatly enlightened!

cheers!
