In a serene and mysterious Taoist world, there is a female Taoist priest named Lingyu. Lingyu is extremely beautiful. Her eyes are as clear as a spring, and her face is as delicate as a peach blossom. Moreover, her kind heart is like a bright pearl, emitting a warm glow.
Since childhood, Lingyu has had a profound understanding of Taoist concepts. She devotes herself to cultivation in the Taoist temple every day, studies Taoist classics, and pursues inner peace and tranquility. She firmly believes that through cultivation and doing good deeds, more beauty and peace can be brought to the world.
One year on the Winter Clothing Festival, Lingyu was strolling in the mountains and forests near the Taoist temple as usual, feeling the tranquility and mystery of nature. Suddenly, she heard a faint crying sound. Lingyu's heart stirred, and she walked in the direction of the sound. She saw a lonely child squatting by the roadside and crying.
Lingyu quickly walked over, gently stroked the child's head, and asked softly, "Child, why are you crying here?" The child raised his tear-stained face and sobbed, "My parents have already passed away. I don't know how to send winter clothes to them." After hearing this, Lingyu felt a surge of pity. She squatted down, held the child tightly in her arms, and said softly, "Don't be sad, child. I will help you."
Lingyu took the child back to the Taoist temple. She found cloth and needles and thread and patiently taught the child how to make winter clothes. Although the child was young, under Lingyu's guidance, he also stitched stitch by stitch with great effort. While making winter clothes, Lingyu also told the child about Taoist doctrines on life and death reincarnation and family affection, making the child understand that although his parents have left this world, their love will always accompany him.
After the winter clothes were made, Lingyu took the child to the hall of the Taoist temple and prayed for the child's parents. She lit incense and prayed silently, hoping that the child's parents could be peaceful and happy in the other world. The child also imitated Lingyu's appearance, put his hands together, closed his eyes, and his heart was filled with longing and blessings for his parents.
From then on, the child would come to the Taoist temple every year on the Winter Clothing Festival and send warmth to his relatives together with Lingyu. They make winter clothes and pray together. On this special day, they feel the warmth of family affection and the care of Taoism.
As time passed, the child gradually grew up and he also became a kind and caring person. He always remembered Lingyu's teachings and used his actions to care for others and pass on warmth and hope. And Lingyu continued to cultivate and do good deeds in the Taoist temple. Her story spread among people and became a warm scenery during the Winter Clothing Festival.
In this world full of love, Lingyu and the child interpret the benevolent spirit of Taoism with their actions, making the Winter Clothing Festival not only a festival for sending winter clothes but also a beautiful moment for transmitting warmth and expressing longing. Their story, like the stars in the night sky, illuminates people's hearts and makes people feel endless warmth and hope in the cold season.
