Divination/moodboard for Lady Xuannü 🐰🪷

[mythicalmagical-monkeyman]

Mythologically: 九天玄女 -> Jiutian Xuannü also known as the Mysterious (or Dark) Lady of the Nine Heavens is the Chinese Taoist of war, sex, and longevity (long life). It's said that she wasn't always a Taoist goddess though as there's a chance she could have predated the Taoist religion. She's known for descending from a great mist to help the Yellow Emperor fight and defeat Chi You. Jiutian Xuannü is also known to ride a phoenix and possibly be able to cause earthquakes.

My version: This lady is a badass. She's known to have fought off an entire army singlehandedly and actually manage to hold them off before dying in battle, only to be granted immortality for her sacrifice. She's also really smart as she claims to have beat everyone in the celestial realm at chess twice. She's also the one to manage to redeem YRD however this act led her to believe that demons aren't entirely evil and that they can change they just need a reason to. So this lady decided to run an experiment, she chooses a demon champion to wield her sword and fight for right down on earth. Surprisingly it works and the demon she chooses becomes a beacon of hope among the demons. Other than that she's also color-blind and has a pet phoenix.

Oh no I made a bmwk oc with chat gpt lol

Disclaimer cause I got my ass beat lol, I didn't copy paste it, I grabbed Lian's og lore and twisted it so it'd fit, now put that knife away from my throat

- Lian (yeah, just Lian)

- He/They

- like 100+ yo

- reincarnation of Jiutian Xuannü (九天玄女), a lesser-known Chinese deity often associated with magic, warfare, cunning and sex

- Born as a demi-god , Lian has fragments of memories from their divine past as Jiutian Xuannü, particularly their ability to deceive and manipulate situations. He often traveled between mortal and celestial realm, having his best life annoying the sh out of everyone, until The Jade Emperor himself got fed up and banned him from the celestial realm until further notice, along with carrying bracelet-like cuffs (like on the ref)

- these cuffs are made like the fraction of powers he got from that reincarnation is tamed down, resulting in him barely being a threat

-Bro is witty, sarcastic, and loves to challenge authority. They see the world as a game of strategy, often manipulating events to their favor while remaining outwardly innocent. But beneath the playful surface is a keen intellect and a deep understanding of the mystical forces at work.

- While they enjoy chaos and play pranks, Lian has a moral compass. He tends to trick those who are greedy, arrogant, or cruel, often aligning themselves with Sun Wukong's rebellious nature. They respect the Monkey King's power but would challenge him in subtle, playful ways—earning a form of respect from Wukong.

Honestly ty chat gpt for helping

[Hanfu · 漢服]Chinese immortal Hanfu <西王母/Queen Mother of the West> Based On Yuan Dynasty Taoist Temple Mural<永乐宫/Yongle Palace>

【Historical Artifacts Reference 】:

▶ China Yuan Dynasty Taoist Temple 永乐宫/Yongle Palace Mural

<西王母/Queen Mother of the West>

The Queen Mother of the West, known by various local names, is a mother goddess in Chinese religion and mythology, also worshipped in neighbouring Asian countries, and attested from ancient times.

The first mentions of the Queen Mother date back to the oracle bone inscriptions of the Shang dynasty (1766 – 1122 BCE). One inscription reads:

Crack-making on day IX (9th day), we divined. If we make offering to the eastern mother and the western mother, there will be approval.

Western Mother refers to an archaic divinity residing in the west. The exact nature of the Mother divinities in the Shang dynasty is unclear, but they were seen as powerful forces deserving of ritual by the people of the Shang dynasty. Originally, from the earliest known depictions of her in accounts like the Classic of Mountains and Seas during the Zhou dynasty, she was a ferocious goddess of death with the teeth of a tiger, who rules over wild beasts and sends down heavenly punishments such as pestilences. She was also mentioned as an authority ruling over other divinities such as Jiutian Xuannü, a goddess of war and sex. Other stories hold that she is a mountain goddess or a divine tigress. She is also popularly thought to have blessed the Eight Immortals with their supernatural abilities.

After her integration into the Taoist pantheon, she gradually took on associations with other aspects, such as immortality, as well.

The Queen Mother of the West is most often depicted holding court within her palace on the mythological Mount Kunlun, usually supposed to be in western China (a modern Mount Kunlun is named after this). Her palace is believed to be a perfect and complete paradise, where it was used as a meeting place for the deities and a cosmic pillar where communications between deities and humans were possible.At her palace she was surrounded by a female retinue of prominent goddesses and spiritual attendants. One of her symbols is the Big Dipper.

Although not definite there are many beliefs that her garden had a special orchard of longevity peaches which would ripen once every three thousand years,others believe though that her court on Mount Kunlun was nearby to the orchard of the Peaches of Immortality. No matter where the peaches were located, the Queen Mother of the West is widely known for serving peaches to her guests, which would then make them immortal. She normally wears a distinctive headdress with the Peaches of Immortality suspended from it.

Flourishing parasols, we reach the chronograms' extremity; Riding on the mist, I wander to Lofty Whirlwind Peak. The Lady of the Supreme Primordial descends through jade interior doors; The Queen Mother opens her Blue-gem Palace. Celestial people—What a Crowd! A lofty meeting inside the Cyan Audience Hall. Arrayed Attendants perform Cloud Songs; Realized intonations fill the Grand Empty Space. Every thousand years, her purple crabapple ripens; Every four kalpas, her numinous melon produces abundantly. This music differs from that at the feast in the wilderness— So convivial, and certainly infinite.— Wu Yun (Complete Tang Poems 1967, line 4942)

One of the earliest written references to the Queen Mother comes from the writings of the Taoist writer Zhuangzi (c. 4th century BCE):

The Queen Mother of the West obtained it [the Dao]... ...and took up her seat at Shao kuang. No one knows her beginning; no one knows her end.

Zhuangzi describes the Queen Mother as one of the highest of the deities, meaning she had gained immortality and celestial powers. Zhuangzi also states that Xiwangmu is seated upon a spiritual western mountain range, suggesting she is connected to not only the heavens, but also to the west.

Legendary encounters

In Tu Kuang-ting's text, he includes narrative accounts of the Queen Mother's encounters with legendary Chinese heroes. One such account narrates an encounter between the Queen Mother and Laozi (Lord Lao):

"In the 25th year of King Chao of the Chou dynasty (1028 BCE) …" "…Lord Lao and the realized person Yin Hsi went traveling…" "…on their behalf, the Queen Mother of the West explicated the Scripture of Constant Purity and Quiet."

In this account, the Queen Mother plays the role of Laozi's superior and is credited with the ultimate authorship of the Dao De Jing. This dichotomy of the Queen Mother as the superior is a characteristic of Shangqing Taoism, a goddess worshiping sect of Taoism of which Tu Kuang-ting was a master. There is also an account of a meeting between the Queen Mother and Laozi in Tang poetry.[18] This account however, being of traditional Taoist thought, has the Queen Mother taking an inferior role to Laozi, calling him "Primordial Lord" (the title of his highest manifestation) and pays homage to the sage.

[quitealotofsodapop]

I imagine in Century Egg au, MK is unfortunately going to very likely be an only child. Mainly because now, everyone is going to try to stop Wukong from pulling thay stunt again, including the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother, after MK coming into the world was such a close call. Like full-on, Lao Tzu forbidden, do not have another child it WILL kill you restrictions are placed l.

They spend so much time instilling this fact into Wukong, that they forget to pay attention to Macaque/any previously created stone eggs. XD

Macaque shows up later with the Eclipse twins' eggs (created from his time in Diyu), and the whole Celestial Realm is like; "Oh gods damn it."

Both monkeys are happy not to "bake" another stone egg anytime soon if they can... but since they've proven Wukong's point, reconciled, and reignited their romance; they can try making kids the "fun way" now ;3

Xuannü & Sunü (goddesses of you know): *both pause mid-mediatation with a realisation* Sunü: "Should we tell jiejie [Xiwangmu] about this?" Xuannü: "Nah... its their own business. I ain't no snitch." Sunü: "Yeah, thats why jiejie yelled at you for not saying anything when Sanniang ran off with that mortal..."

Fun fact; said goddesses are said to be sisters (likely sworn) of Xiwangmu/Queen Mother, as their domains (war, sexuality, longetivity, and motherhood) are said to be intertwined.

[yamayuandadu]

Does Jiutian Xuannü have any connection/relations to Ishtar/Inanna?

I’ll be blunt: I’d really prefer to get better Inanna questions, if possible.

Questions which deal with actual published comparative scholarship and which show actual engagement with the material are fair game and as you can see going by the past few months worth of responses I don’t dismiss these (in fact, the series of questions about Iranian-Mesopotamian interactions were among the most enjoyable to answer out of recent ones, I had fun with the question about Durga’s early history too). However, in the case of this ask there’s not even any real argument to be made here, those are two completely unrelated figures which arose in completely different cultural contexts and have no spatial overlap. I’ll try to answer it nonetheless, more under the cut.

For the sake of a hypothetical, let’s ignore the temporal and spatial differences for a moment though these would be more than enough.

Jiutian Xuannü’s association with sexuality exists in a highly specific Daoist context where sex functions essentially like neidan, the “inner alchemy” from immortality manuals and other similar literature (see Suzanne E. Cahill, Sublimation in Medieval China: The Case of the Mysterious Woman of the Nine Heavens, p. 101). Correct conduct in this sphere is a pathway to longevity. Needless to say, that offers no real parallel to any Mesopotamian material from any period; for a brief overview of Mesopotamian attitudes to sex across time and space see here, it’s also worth looking into Gioele Zisa’s The Loss of Male Sexual Desire in Ancient Mesopotamia. 

Warfare is too universal of a sphere of activity for a deity to really warrant any comment here but, similarly, the cultural context is very different; for Jiutian Xuannü see Peng Liu’s “Conceal my Body so that I can Protect the State”: The Making of the Mysterious Woman in Daoism and Water Margin, for Inanna Ilona Zsolnay’s Goddess of War, Pacifier of Kings.

Iconography-wise I don’t exactly see grounds for any comparisons either. The earliest version of Jiutian Xuannü, known from Han dynasty funerary art and sometimes mentioned in later literary texts, was a bird with a woman’s head (Cahill, p. 102) which… also doesn’t exactly offer any real parallel to Mesopotamia (indeed, it’s basically a rule that deities of note lack animal parts, serpentine peripheral oddities like Tishpak and Ishtaran aside). No human-headed birds are really mentioned in Frans Wiggermann’s overview of hybrid creatures in Mesopotamian art. However, this fits in perfectly well with the host of other partially human, partially animal deities and other supernatural beings from Han dynasty sources like the Classic of Mountains and Seas. In other words, as far as I am concerned there is no real reason to suspect that Jiutian Xuannü is anything but a typical Han dynasty deity who then underwent typical shifts such a figure would as Daoism continued to develop. Incredibly hard to imagine that a deity from the other side of the continent whose cult would be already on the way out when the first references to Jiutian Xuannü start to pop up and who is not really attested in any period east of Susa would have anything to do with her. The closest thing to reception of a Mesopotamian figure in China would be the occasional references to the Sogdian version of Nanaya (I compiled relevant evidence in her wiki article), but there’s no real evidence anyone but the Central Asian immigrants would be particularly familiar with her. There is only one depiction of her from China and it’s an oddity commissioned by a Sogdian for personal use, the funerary couch from the collection of the Miho Museum:

The iconography tbh doesn’t even resemble her depictions from Sogdia save for the two orbs. Given that this is a figure worshiped right next door think how less likely it would be for a Mesopotamian figure to reach China and leave some meaningful impact at a time when there were less contacts with foreigners, let alone foreigners which would have any contact with Mesopotamia.

Is Xuan Nu another one of your OCs, mun?

(( Not exactly! Xuan Nu is actually a real goddess in Chinese mythology. I did some research on her and found the information I found to be absolutely FASCINATING. And after learning that some of her myths involved her being one of the Jade Emperor's daughters, I wanted to work on my own take of her!

With Xing, she is just an OC, but Jiutian Xuannü is an actual goddess in mythology.

However, there is a chance I will add her as a guest muse! I have grown really attached to her thus far! ))
