Nezha (deity)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Nezha (on the left) in Fengshen Yanyi
Nezha or Na Zha (Chinese: 哪吒; pinyin: Nézhā or Núozhā[1]; Japanese: Nataku or Nata) is a Daoist protection deity, the enfant

terrible, trickster, originally of Buddhist Chinese mythology. His official Taoist deity name is Zhongtan Yuanshuai (中壇元帥).

Life

Nezha is often depicted flying in the sky with his feet uponn wheels of wind and fire, a golden hoop, the "cosmic ring", a red

sash around his shoulder and a spear in his hands. Sometimes he is given six arms and three heads (san tou liu bi, 三头六臂). Nezha

is usually depicted as a youth and rarely as an adult.
As the third son of a military commander called Lǐ Jìng 李靖, a military leader in Chentangguan Fortress, his birth was peculiar.

When his mother Lady Yin became pregnant, she waited for three years and six months to deliver the boy, but unfortunately a ball

of flesh was born. His father got so angry that he split it with a sword, which caused Nezha to jump out and grow fully, even

though his mind and temperament were that of a child.
After he killed Li Gen, a yaksha, and Ao Bing, the third son of East Sea Dragon King Ào Guǎng 敖光, Nezha flayed and disemboweled

himself in order to save his parents that were taken hostage by Ao Guang, but was brought back to life by his master, Tàiyǐ

Zhēnrén 太乙真人, a Taoist immortal sage who used lotus blossoms to reconstruct a body for his soul to inhabit.[2]
Nezha's two elder brothers are also powerful warriors. The eldest is Jinzha (金吒), who is a disciple of Manjusri Bodhisattva, and

the second eldest is Muzha (木吒), a disciple of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva.
Legend goes that he was born in the Shang dynasty.

Appearance in ancient Chinese mythology and literature
Nezha has frequently appeared in Chinese Mythology and ancient Chinese Literature such as the Fengshen Yanyi (or Investiture of

the Gods), although the story of Nezha conquering the sea is the most famous among Chinese households. In Journey to the West,

Nezha was a general under the leadership of his father Li Jing. He entered into combat against Sun Wukong when the latter rebelled

against the Jade Emperor, ruler of Heaven, but Nezha was befriended by Sun Wukong and they became friends with each other.
