The word "magic capital" comes from the best-selling novel "magic capital" by the famous Japanese writer Muramatsu who lived in Shanghai about a century ago. Muramatsu was probably the first person to call Shanghai the "magic capital". Since then, the word "magic capital" has been used by many people to describe the complex world of Shanghai.
During the Battle of Songhu, the Chinese and Japanese troops invested more than one million people in Shanghai. According to Li Zongren himself, Duke Jiang knew that Shanghai could not be saved. However, Jiang Gong sacrificed his life to gain time. He spent three months protecting some things in Shanghai. After the Japanese occupied Shanghai, he got nothing. At the same time, some Japanese documents pointed out that before the meeting, Abe advised the Japanese government to occupy Shanghai and "serve the devil."
Dragon column. This is the most famous legend in Shanghai and many people know it. I forgot the specific story. I guess I can find it online. It should be noted that the dragon originally suppressed something, and the dragon also guarded it instead, but it is not clear what it suppressed.
Let's start with the three major monasteries in Shanghai. The first is Longhua Temple. Next to the temple is the Martyrs Cemetery, which used to be the execution ground. Both revolutionaries and Jiang Yang thieves died there, so the ghost died heavily. The tower of Longhua Temple is not within the scope of the temple, and it is far from the Ursa Major Hall. Visitors are forbidden to climb the tower. It is said that this situation was caused by road construction in the late Qing Dynasty, but this is unreasonable. The tower and the temple should be together. Don't road builders understand? There are rumors in the circle that the Longhua Tower is actually suppressing the gate of hell, while the Longhua Temple is defusing the raging flames. Longhua is more of a peach tree, and peach trees are the most sinister.
Jing 'an Temple. Jing 'an Temple in the center of Shanghai has never been moved, and its scale has even expanded. The temple is also a rare tantric temple in the Central Plains. Metro Line 2 was originally planned to pass under the temple, but during the construction, Gu Quan was dug under the temple. This is a news that can be verified. I heard that the guardrail in Gu Quan is engraved with scripture symbols? Some experts say that the underground spring is for the dead, and it must be suppressed by the demonized tantric temple, and it must not be moved. So the subway diverted, and Gu Quan was not developed into a tourist attraction, but was silent under the intentional action.
Jade Buddha Temple Jade Buddha Temple is located at the junction of Shanghai Huajie (Zhabei) and public concession (Jing 'an and Huangpu). 1882, when the concession was built, a stone tablet was dug up at the junction with Zhabei, which was said to be engraved with many runic patterns. Then an outbreak of plague (as if cholera) claimed many lives. At this time, Master Huigen of Putuo Mountain welcomed the Five Jade Buddhas back to Putuo and passed through Shanghai. When he saw it, he said that this stone tablet is a monument to the soul, and he regarded it as a big killer. So he made a ceremony and buried the stone tablet in the ground, leaving a jade Buddha and seeing the temple, which is the Jade Buddha Temple. It is said that this monument is still under the temple.
People's Square used to be a wasteland, but later a racecourse was built and it became a square after liberation. No one has ever lived here. Later, the Shanghai Museum was built in a tripod shape, with eight statues of evil spirits at the back door. An old gentleman in the field of geomantic omen said that a tripod can break all evil. He didn't say what these two were, only that no one could live there. The old man said that the things under the square are unparalleled in power and need a huge amount of flowing yang to work together. It was built like this, and so was the racetrack, but it was buried deeply. Under this operation, there is no threat now.
Next to People's Square, there is a tall building called Tomorrow Square, which has a strange shape. It is not only staggered up and down, but also has hollow spires and upright spheres. The structural road of this building is also circuitous, and it is easy to get lost. However, after listening to the advice of the old gentleman, I realized that this building is actually the shape of a tantric demon, and it is understandable that it is located in the position of the fierce white tiger just west of the People's Square.
As an international metropolis, Shanghai is crowded, materialistic and seriously polluted. It stands to reason that such a place should be lacking or even exhausted. But in fact, according to people who practice tantra, Shanghai has an unexpectedly powerful atmosphere, which is impossible in other metropolises. But at the same time, some people say that this kind of gas field is not naturally generated, but artificially gathered, and its specific function is unknown. It's probably used to suppress things on an unprecedented array.
But it was really called out because of a cartoon called China Little Master (broadcast by Fuji TV 1997- 1998). The title of the 34th episode of "Little Master China" is "Magic Capital Shanghai! The widespread influence of "The Dark Cooking World Declares War" has promoted "Magic Capital" to a certain extent by anime fans in the 1990s in the process of becoming the main communication force of the new generation of network society and culture. Shanghai "is a very representative word.
