Bao Zheng, a native of Feidong, Luzhou, Hefei, Anhui, was a famous official in the Northern Song Dynasty. He once served as a bachelor in Tianzhangge and Longtuge, so he is known as "Bao" and "Bao". The real Bao Zheng is not black, but a pair of elegant bachelors. So why are all the Bao Zheng circulating in the world now black-faced crescent moons? This has something to do with Bao Zheng's personality.
Bao Zheng is selfless, honest and fair, and does not go with the flow. He can wash away grievances for the people and punish corrupt officials according to law. Therefore, Bao Zheng is a great benefactor in people's eyes, which deserves respect and admiration. Therefore, Bao Zheng is called the reincarnation of Kuixing. Kuixing is the first of the seven nights in the White Tiger Palace in the West, and it is one of the twenty-eight nights. It is a lucky star that dominates the development of world literature. Its appearance is black and red, so Bao Zheng's black-faced image has gradually spread around the world.
As for the crescent moon in the middle of the forehead, there are different opinions. Some people say that when I was a child, the scar on my forehead was like a crescent moon, others said it was a birthmark, and others said that people thought that Bao Zheng was the reincarnation of the stars in the sky and could' break the sun and the moon', so there was a crescent moon. Anyway, the saying that there is a crescent moon in the middle of Bao Gong's forehead has been passed down. No matter when, the black crescent moon will always be the benchmark, always showing the majesty of the law.
