She broke her father’s treasured cup and was banished to earth. The Emperor allowed her to be reincarnated three times because she loved her life on earth so much. During her reincarnations, she used her magic to help people fight against invaders, spent money to build dams to prevent floods, saved miserable people. She is considered as the symbol of feminine power which is opposite to the “Three Obedience, Four Virtues” – moral principles for women in Confucianism. Vietnamese women admired her with the freedom in action as well as independence in thought. This is the explanation of her immortality in the Vietnamese conscience.
