Kisah dan tradisi

Princess Iron Fan adalah tokoh sastra dari novel Tiongkok abad ke-16 Journey to the West (Perjalanan ke Barat). Wikipedia menyebutnya iblis perempuan yang cantik, istri Bull Demon King, dan ibu Red Boy. Dalam novel ia juga disebut Luocha Nü (羅剎女), yaitu Rākṣasī, sehingga wujudnya adalah raksasi, bukan manusia biasa. Ia memiliki kipas pisang (芭蕉扇). Menurut novel, kipas itu bila dimohon memadamkan api dengan satu kibasan, membangkitkan angin dengan dua, dan menurunkan hujan dengan tiga. Orang yang terkena kibasannya terbawa delapan puluh empat ribu li. Ketika Sun Wukong datang untuk meminjamnya, ia bertarung dengannya dan menyapu Sun Wukong dengan kibasan itu. Dalam bab yang sama Sun Wukong juga berkata bahwa ia sudah berada di dalam perutnya. Menurut dewa bumi dalam novel, suaminya telah meninggalkannya dan tinggal di Gua Moyun di Gunung Jilei, tempat Yumian Gongzhu berada. Dalam bab berikutnya, setelah para dewa menaklukkan suaminya, ia keluar membawa kipas dan menyerahkannya kepada Sun Wukong; ia juga memberi tahu bahwa kipas itu harus dikibaskan 49 kali untuk memutus akar api.

Princess Iron Fan is a literary character from the 16th-century Chinese novel Journey to the West. Wikipedia calls her a beautiful demoness, the wife of Bull Demon King, and the mother of Red Boy. In the novel she is also called Luocha Nü (羅剎女), that is Rākṣasī, so she is a female rakshasa rather than an ordinary human. She owns a banana-leaf fan (芭蕉扇). According to the novel, the fan, if obtained, puts out fire with one fanning, raises wind with two, and brings rain with three. A person fanned by it is carried eighty-four thousand li. When Sun Wukong comes to borrow it, she fights him and sweeps him away with the fan. In the same chapter Sun Wukong also says he is already inside her belly. According to the earth deity in the novel, her husband has abandoned her and lives at Moyun Cave on Jilei Mountain, where Yumian Gongzhu lives. In the following chapter, after the gods subdue her husband, she comes out with the fan and hands it to Sun Wukong; she also tells him the fan must be waved 49 times to cut the root of the fire.
