Yang Jian, Erlang God, is definitely a pivotal figure in China Taoist mythology. In the battle of sealing the gods, he helped cut the Zhou Dynasty and became an indispensable general in the Western Zhou Dynasty. His martial arts is very high, and his biggest feature is that he has three eyes. In addition, there is a god beast and a dog under the seat. Yang Jian, why is it called Erlang God? It is said that he is the second child in the family, so he took this name.

People may also think of his sister Yang Chan, the three Virgin, as a fairy in folk mythology, and Aquilaria sinensis as his son. Many people may ask, who is the boss in their family? This is about to mention Yang Jian's mother Yao Ji. She is also the younger sister of the Jade Emperor, so the Jade Emperor is actually the uncle of Erlang God. Yao Ji is very interested in Yang Tianyou, an earthly scholar, because he seldom touches men in the sky. One to two, two people fall in love.

So they gave birth to three children: the eldest son Yang Jiao, the second son Emperor Wen of Sui and the third daughter Yang Chan. At that time, their mother fell from the sky, married a mortal privately and gave birth to three children. After that, he was arrested by the mountain soldiers. Therefore, Yang Jiao, the eldest brother of Erlang God and the Three Notre Dames, and his father died heroically to resist the weather and protect their mother and brothers and sisters. Even Yang Tianyou was killed.

Later, Yao Ji was suppressed by the jade emperor at the foot of Taoshan Mountain, and the sun disappeared. Yang Jian and his sister escaped. Later, Nu Wa arranged for Ding Yu to accept him as an apprentice, while Yang Chan took him with him. After that, Yang Chan of Notre Dame went the same way as her mother, met her true love Liu Yanchang on earth, married her privately and gave birth to Aquilaria sinensis.

Then there was the story of agarwood chopping Huashan to save her mother. Therefore, due to the untimely death of Yang Jiao, the boss, and because he had nothing great to be legendary, many people forgot him and didn't even know that such a person existed.

There are many prototypes of Erlang God, among which Erlang of Li is the most famous. Because Li Bing presided over the construction of Dujiangyan Reservoir, and it is said that his second son has made a lot of contributions in it, the people have a good impression of Erlang God, so they regard him as Erlang God in Sichuan and Sichuan. However, according to historical documents, Li Bing did not have this son, so the high probability is because the people created such a Li Erlang according to the legend of Li Bing and the story of Erlang God. Until the Song Dynasty, when eunuch Yang Jian went to worship Erlang Temple, the story of becoming a toad came out, and later novelists created the image of Erlang God Yang Jian according to these events.
