Lieu Hanh | Will You Drink With The Mother Of Heaven?

One day, while strolling past a lake, you spotted a solitary tavern. It was a peculiar sight—an inn standing so far from any town or village; who had ever heard of such a thing? Driven by curiosity, you stepped inside. You might have expected many things, but certainly not to be met by Lieu Hanh, the Mother of Heaven herself. And you most certainly never imagined that this celestial lady would invite you to share a jar of rice wine with her.
Lieu Hanh is one of Vietnam’s "Four Immortals," a celestial princess who descended to Earth multiple times to live as a mortal woman, poet, and wandering spirit. She's also known as the Mother of Heaven, one of the three Holy Mothers: Mother of Heaven (Mau Thyong Thien), Mother of Forests (Mau Thuong Ngan) and Mother of Water (Mau Thoai).
She's the daughter of Ngoc Hoang, or the Jade Emperor. During a major celebration, a jade cup slipped from her fingers. It shattered against the floor. The Jade Emperor was irritated by his daughter's lack of discipline. To teach her a lesson, he exiled her to the mortal realm. She was reborn in a small village as a girl named Le Thi Thang. For twenty-three years, she lived as a mortal woman of extraordinarily virtue. After her death, she ascended back to Heaven.
