I don't know when it started. Zheng Chenggong's statue stopped the typhoon. As soon as the typhoon saw Xiamen bypass, it spread like wildfire. ...
No one in Xiamen dislikes the saying "town typhoon"
For decades, Zheng Chenggong's typhoon theory has spread more and more in Xiamen. The vast majority of Xiamen people relish this and are willing to believe it. None of the 100 Xiamen people we interviewed randomly did not like this statement.
Even though the strong typhoon 14 1999 directly attacked Xiamen University on June 9, people still have reason to explain: "Zheng Chenggong happened to visit Taiwan Province at that time ..." Citizens Mr. Ye and Mr. Zhu further explained that even if he visited Taiwan Province Province, he was still there. At that time, we lived in Baijiacun area, and we saw the new building of 174 hospital with our own eyes. "
Some citizens even took out detailed historical materials and said categorically: "In fact, the typhoon center stayed over Xiamen for five or six hours! Later, I found that Zheng Chenggong was really absent and came up. "
Literature and history expert: This is a kind of admiration and admiration for Zheng Chenggong.
"It is not so much superstition as a kind of worship and admiration for Zheng Chenggong." Gong Jie, an expert in literature and history and former director of Xiamen Museum, said that Xiamen people would rather elevate Zheng Chenggong to the height of "God", which is unique to Xiamen and has nothing to do with superstition. "Zheng Chenggong Complex" has been integrated into the blood of Xiamen people, and there are many legends about Zheng Chenggong in Xiamen. In the eyes of many Xiamen people, Zheng Chenggong is an irreplaceable hero. Gong Lao said: "The statue of Zheng Chenggong can resist typhoons. There is no scientific basis, but this statement is harmless. The reason why it can be passed down from generation to generation is a way for Xiamen people to express their reverence for the national hero Zheng Chenggong. It is also the good wish of Xiamen people. I hope that the typhoon will not invade beautiful Xiamen, and I hope that our home will always be peaceful and peaceful. "
Guo Kuncong, an expert in Xiamen folk literature and history, said that the completion of Zheng Chenggong's statue means the development of Xiamen's marine civilization and the open mind of Xiamen people. Zheng Chenggong faces the sea with great momentum, which also indicates the prospect of cooperation between Fujian and Taiwan. The origin of the theory of "Typhoon in Zheng Chenggong Town" may be because Zheng Chenggong's statue itself is very strong and can resist typhoon attacks (made of 23 layers of granite); Later, people spread false information, and the legend became "Typhoon in ZhengChenggong Town". There is also a rumor in Xiamen that the emperor shunzhi was bombarded by Zheng Chenggong and died in Xiamen. These two legends have no historical facts or factual basis, but they reflect Xiamen people's reverence for Zheng Chenggong and express their true love and hate. The common people hated the rulers of the Manchu Dynasty, but they were proud of the national hero Zheng Chenggong, so they relished the saying that Zheng Chenggong was shot. People hate typhoons, love Zheng Chenggong, and hope that Zheng Chenggong can stop typhoons, so the saying "Typhoon in Zheng Chenggong Town" is widely circulated among the people.
