Xi Wang Mu （西王母）, also known as “ Wang Mu Niang Niang （王母娘娘） ”, is the goddess of criminal law, the head of the female immortals in the heavenly realm.
Legend has it that the Xi Wang Mu lived in the Kun Lun Mountain’s Yaochi Fairyland, where an immortal bird called the “Qing Niao” carried food and daily necessities for her every day.
When the Huang Di crusaded against Chi You, she had sent the Jiu Tian Xuan Nü to help the Huang Di.
After Hou Yi shot the sun, Xi Wang Mu gave Hou Yi an immortality pill, accomplishing the legend of Chang E running to the moon.
In Chinese Taoist mythology, the Xi Wang Mu is partnered with the Yu Huang Da Di , the sovereign god in charge of the three realms, and together they rule the world.
According to legend, the third day of March in the Chinese lunar calendar is the birthday of the Xi Wang Mu on this day, the Xi Wang Mu opened a grand feast, with peaches as the main food, banquets for all parties to participate in all the gods and fairies, and all the gods and fairies rushed to wish her a birthday, which is known as the Peach Party. The story of the Monkey King (Sun Wu Kong) in Journey to the West took place during the Peach Festival.
