The Sanyuangong on Guo Hua Mountain is the largest temple in Yuntai Mountain, dedicated to the Sanyuandi, which is the Sangong. There are many interesting legends about these three officials. .
According to the elders, these three officials are the three nephews of the Jade Emperor, only mortal, born in that place in Shaanxi. The three brothers devoted themselves to charity and good deeds, and later became immortals. The boss is enterprising, in charge of the sky, and is a heavenly teacher; The second child manages the land and is a land officer; The third is the water officer, and everyone calls his three brothers "three officers".
One year, Baoying was affected by the disaster and the crops were not harvested. The common people dug up all the wild vegetables, skinned them, and finally had nothing to eat, so they took out food to prepare for the spring drought. Life is saved, it is time to plant crops, but there is no food. It's not like you're going to die sooner or later! Baoying's land Lord was so frightened that he went to Sanguan for help. He just found Tianguan and agreed.
On this day, a little old man suddenly came to Baoying, holding a donkey and carrying two pockets to grow grain, saying that he would give food to others on credit all the way and settle accounts after harvesting the crops. As soon as the peasant families heard about it, they all came to credit. The little old man's two pockets of grain are full of Baoying, and every family grows crops.
As luck would have it, this year, the weather was good, the crops grew surprisingly well, carts pulled people to bear the burden, and all the food was eaten up. Baoying waited for the little old man to settle accounts, but he didn't come first or second. At this time, Baoying landlord gave the peasant family a dream. Tell people that the three officials gave food on credit to everyone, and he didn't want to grow grain! The dreamer asked, "God, how can we thank these three officials?" The landlord said, "How can I thank you? Why don't we chip in two dollars to build a temple for Sanguan? " The dreamer asked again, "Where is Xiu?" The land Lord was puzzled for a long time before he said, "I'll ask three officials." "
The earth god asked where the old temple of Sanguan was built, and Tianguan said, "Let's look around and see which section of Feng Shui is good, and then decide." The three officials split up and traveled around the world. On this day, Tianshi came to Ole State in the East China Sea by cloud, stood on the cloud and looked down. He saw 360 peaks of this mountain, all of which are elegant red clouds. Tianshi pressed the cloud head and stood in the former Yuntai Mountain, playing pipa in Kowloon. This is the treasure land of "playing pipa in Kowloon"! Tianguan said to himself, "Stay, stay, stay, and be safe. Let's build a temple on this ridge, so he took out a big copper coin from his pocket and put it on the pipa, and the copper coin got into the mud. " Leave a mark.
As soon as the temple started construction, three officials returned to Shaanxi. On this day, the three brothers were chatting at home. The Sanguan Temple in Yuntai Mountain will be built soon. Who will go to see it? The celestial official put on the boss's shelf and said, "Thank you, second child. Go and have a look. " The county magistrate put the second child on the shelf and said, "Go, third child, go and come quickly." The water officer can't put on airs, and there is no one younger than him, so he has to pout.
Supposedly, the immortal can come back after a meal, but it's been an hour, and the third child hasn't come back yet. Tianguan and the local officials are anxious and say that someone wants to go and have a look. Celestial officials bully the second child and say, "Go and have a look again. Why hasn't this meeting come yet? " The second child is determined to dominate people again, and no one cares about him. He left angrily and didn't look back for half an hour. No one is in charge of the heavenly palace now. Go by yourself. I'm in a hurry, and I can't get there without a pack of cigarettes. After falling into the clouds, I took a few steps to the Sanguan Temple. Although small, it is magnificent, and Tianshi does not look closely. He remembered his two younger brothers and hurried into the Sanguan Temple. Looking in, the fire came out of the liver again. Of the three golden statues, the chief monkey was the third and the second, leaving only one chief to be his boss.
Tianshi's nose is crooked. He was angry with his third son, no big or small, and took the position of his brother. He was angry with his second son because he only thought of himself and dared not uphold justice. This is my younger brother. I am worried about what will happen to them at home, but they are going to tease me! Alas, let it be, I don't care about this leader, Tianshi is possessed by the next golden statue.
As for the two younger brothers, neither of them dared to say anything, but their eyelids drooped and they didn't understand. Tianshi sat at the bottom, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became. Finally, a good-natured God was furious with a fierce man who blew his beard and stared, cocked his nose, grinned and straightened his hair.
Talk about it here on earth, it will be a new year. On the fifteenth day of the first month, others came to the temple fair. Baoying people remembered the great kindness of Tianshi, ate a reunion dinner, burned paper and rushed to Yuntai Mountain Temple. Climbing the mountain from the incense burning river, three steps and one knock, nine steps and one worship, arrived at the temple and burned incense for three officials next to it. A year's wish. I don't know, the Tianshi who really helped them is sitting in the first place, suffering from a little poor incense; When it's not enough, you have to secretly pick up the incense money that the second and third children don't want.
Later, this incident was known by the master of mountain gods in Yuntai Mountain. He really didn't like the third and second children, so he had a dream for the people and ordered them to build a mourning hall under the Sanguan Temple to worship the celestial officials. Baoying people knew the root of this, so they went up the mountain to make incense, also for Tianguan to advance to Linggong, and then burned incense in Sanguan Temple.
Tianshi thanked the local people for upholding justice for him, and at the same time eliminated the gap between brothers, so he tried his best to do things for the local people. The second and third children will also understand the truth of being fair and comfortable, feel ashamed, and learn to serve the people on this shore like Tianguan. This side is particularly fertile in water and soil, and the weather is favorable. People call this land "the land of three public blessings". Later, people revered Sanguan as the Sanyuan Emperor, and Sanguan Temple was renamed Sanyuan Palace, also known as "the paradise of Sanyuan Emperor". Outstanding people, once a generation, there are many capable people here, and then there is the rumor that "there are 18 villages in the East China Sea, and every village has a sage." "
The sun knocks at the door during the day.
There is a high-tech Sun in Wuxi. Because his family was poor, he worked as a night watchman for several years. In the second year of Wanli, Sun was twenty-five years old. He was very happy when he heard that the Jinshi in Beijing was the top scholar. But he went to Beijing to take the exam and wanted to find someone to recommend the nomination. Sun came from a humble background, no one in the house and no money in his hand. How does he go to Beijing for the exam?
There is a "Guanting Lane" on the Lisan Bridge in Wuxi, where all official ships coming to Wuxi are parked. Sun always knocks here from Gaojiao along the canal every night. One day, Sun saw many official ships coming and going in front of the "official pavilion" and came up with an idea. This afternoon, Sun came here to knock on the door, with a bamboo tube on his back, better hands, a broken cotton-padded jacket on his upper body, a few fresh straws tied around his waist, and worn socks and sandals on his feet, just in time for the official ship of Qin Daming, an adult of Changzhou government and Taiwan, to dock here. Sun knocked and shouted, "Sun, knock, Sikkim has no examiner!" " Sun Gaoji is like an old monk chanting scriptures, knocking and shouting. I cried over and over again and shouted over and over again. Master Qin of yamen was very surprised: how can there be a bell in the daytime? What he shouted didn't sound like ringing a bell, so he sent someone to call Sun to the boat and ask why. Upon hearing this, Lord Qin couldn't help laughing. "Look at your accent, don't like the top. I tell you, if you want to take exams in Beijing and the Palace, you should have an oral exam in front of me first. I ask questions, you answer them. If it's right, I'll introduce it to you. If it is wrong, you have to blame yourself! " Sun said, "Is your master serious?" Qin Daren humanitarian; "No kidding."
Qin Daming saw a sweet-scented osmanthus hidden in Sun's sleeve and said, "Pupils hide spring scenery." Hearing this, Sun immediately said, "The examiners are observant." Qin Daming unknowingly secretly exclaimed. He strolled to the bow and recited, "Longguang Tower at the top of the tower has a sharp pen, which writes the world." Say that finish, looking back at sun. Sun thought to himself: You took Longguang Tower as your topic, and I was born in Shuanghe Huilong Bridge. Just use the answer back to Longqiao. Then across the exit, "Huilong Bridge, bridge opening is round, round as a mirror, and the mirror shines on Jiuzhou." Hearing this, Lord Qin said, alas, this man is really talented! I immediately wrote a letter of recommendation on the boat and gave him a sum of money for the exam so that Sun could go to Beijing to take the exam. Later, the news that Sun Kao won the top prize reached Changzhou, and Lord Qin was also very proud.
"Gravel Paving" Body
Zheng Banqiao's excellent calligraphy is a painful experience. Zheng Banqiao not only practices writing every day, but also can't sleep at night. He slept under the quilt, tapped his fingers on the bed and thought about the brushwork of the font. Once, paddling, unconsciously paddling on my wife, woke her up She said angrily to Zheng Banqiao, "You are a man, really. Didn't you get your own body? " What do you do when you scratch someone's body? "
I didn't know that this sentence touched Zheng Banqiao's heart. He understood the word "style" as the "style" of a font. Zheng Banqiao thought, "Everyone has a body, and I have my body. I should write my own font, and I can't always imitate others and follow in the footsteps of my predecessors! " Later, he practiced day and night and made bold innovations. Finally, I jumped out of the box of ancient calligraphy and created a unique new style.
One day, Zheng Banqiao was walking in the street and saw a child playing with nails and stones. Banqiao was fascinated and pondered over it after returning home. Slowly, Banqiao put nails and stones into his own font. As a result, the words, strokes and shelves written by Banqiao are very artistic. Later, people called Zheng Banqiao's handwriting "full of stones".
Only plum blossoms account for a hundred flowers.
One day, when Zheng Banqiao was drinking tea in a teahouse in Yancheng, he met a rich man and talked twice. The rich man said, "I have a child at home and want to ask a good teacher to teach me."
"Do you want to please a good gentleman?"
"I want to invite Zheng Banqiao from Xinghua. I heard that this person has a strange temper and it is difficult to invite! "
Zheng Banqiao smiled and said, "I also want to find a museum. What do you think of me? "
The rich man is a well-known talent, so it is inconvenient to refuse in person and reluctantly agree.
When Zheng Banqiao went to the rich man's house and sat in the pavilion, he saw a peony painting hanging in the nave. It's well drawn, but it doesn't look good on the side.
One day, while washing his pen, Zheng Banqiao accidentally threw it away, and several small ink spots appeared on the peony flower. The Xiaodong family next to him was so anxious that they opened their mouths and said, "Sir, this Bai Mudan was painted by my grandfather for fifty taels of silver." Zheng Banqiao blows his head. Without saying anything, he took a pen and waved it a few times on the peony map. When the young master saw it, it was not good, so he quickly called Lao Tzu. When the rich man came to see it, he was greatly annoyed: "How can peony be with plum blossoms?"
I don't know. Zheng Banqiao didn't answer. He picked up a pen and wrote a poem on the picture.
A plum beside the peony,
A pair of wealth and cold,
Although peony is good, there is always thanks.
Only plums are the best.
When finished, take out the seal and press it. The rich man stretched out his neck and looked up at it. That is clearly a "thank you". He was surprised and quickly flattered: "Sir, can you give me a calligraphy and painting?" Zheng Banqiao ignored it, threw the pen away and turned away.
Zheng Banqiao Jinshan Zhu Hua
There are two most famous painters and calligraphers among the Eight Eccentrics in Yangzhou, one is Zheng Banqiao and the other is Li Yi. Both of them are from Xinghua and often write and draw together.
Once, Yi Li and Zheng Banqiao went to Zhenjiang. When the big monk in Jinshan heard that Yi Li had arrived, he immediately sent the little monk to send a golden invitation.
When Li Yi received the invitation, she looked at Zheng Banqiao sitting beside her and said with a smile, "You always said you were famous. what do you think? You invited me as soon as I arrived in Zhenjiang. Tomorrow, you will see me going to eat vegetarian food alone! "
Zheng Banqiao looked at Li with a split smile and pride, and blurted out, "I will go tomorrow!" "
Yi Li said, "Voice! I was invited, but I didn't invite you How can you go? "
Zheng Banqiao smiled and said, "I am younger than you. I'm going to pretend to be a top teenager tomorrow, so that we can have dinner together! " ! "
"Well, good! This is a good idea! " Hearing this, Yi Li nodded happily. Zheng Banqiao is my extremely bookish. What a nice table!
The next day, Yi Li was in front, and Zheng Banqiao, dressed as an extremely good boy, came to the boat and crossed the river. The big monk has already met him at the mountain gate. The big monk accompanied Li Eel into the abbot's room, and the little monk came in with him, who was having a good time. Immediately, tea and snacks were delivered. Li Eel, from the bottom of my heart, you always want some words and pictures when you look for something else from me. Then he said, "Master, you can prepare some paper!" "
"I am ready for this." Said, and introduced the eel into the living room. As soon as the door opened, I saw Four Treasures of the Study on the table: pens, ink, inkstones and rice paper, all laid leisurely.
Yi Li looked at Zheng Banqiao again and said to himself, Do you want to eat vegetarian food? I'll make fun of you today and let you take care of my ink. Then he said, "extremely bookish!" " What is "palm ink"? Once upon a time, calligraphy was exquisite. If you want to write words like a phoenix spreading its wings and flying, you always have to hold an inkstone with great eagerness, and follow the writer's pen, the inkstone will be sent to whichever word you want.
He was very angry when Zheng Banqiao asked him to pass the ink! I pretend to be a bookboy, but it's just for fun! You really treat me like a bookboy! How can this work? If you don't want to do it and it's not convenient to talk, you shouldn't ask for it yourself! I had to hold back my silence and raise the inkstone.
Li Yi dipped his pen in the inkstone, smiled and licked it, and after a pause, he was ready to start writing. There was a loud bang, and the inkstone slipped from Zheng Banqiao's hand, fell in the middle of the rice paper and rolled onto the corner of the paper.
When Li Yi saw it, alas, it was terrible. A piece of rice paper with a large desktop is so good that black stripes are dyed at the bottom corner and the upper corner. Coupled with the ink stone bouncing on it, the black bar is intermittent and indomitable. Li eel's face is as angry as a purple eggplant. Put down the pen and said angrily to Zheng Banqiao, "Write!"
"I write!" Zheng Banqiao looked at Li Lin, his face flushed with anxiety, and then at the rice paper. He smiled and said, "I don't write, I draw!" "
"You draw, I see you draw!" Yi Lee spoke from the heart. This rice paper is stained with ink, but how to draw it?
Zheng Banqiao rudely picked up a pen, dipped it in some ink and smeared it on rice paper. The monk is very worried. I finally sent someone to order my rice paper from Xuancheng, Anhui, and filled you with black ink. What should I do? If the master doesn't paint, you have to be brave and start painting, and you want to stop it. But look at Li Yi, he doesn't say anything and doesn't get angry easily.
This "pole" is really good! I saw him draw a picture and poke a little on the intermittent ink line three times and two times. Alas, it has become an ink bamboo with the right thickness. Among them, the ink mark turned into an indomitable ink bamboo, slim and beautiful, standing in front of my eyes like a living one, and I couldn't help but blurt out: "Miao, Miao, what a bamboo!" " I saw extremely took out a jade chapter from his pocket and stamped it in the next paragraph. The monk looked at the bright red seal, which read "Zhengxie" and froze! He never imagined that it was the famous Zheng Banqiao standing in front of him. He quickly greeted Erlian Landy: "I don't know if you are coming to town, I hope you don't mind." He told the young monk to "make tea", but when he thought it was wrong, he added, "Make good tea!"
At this time, I smiled at Li Eel and blinked, which means, look, the big monk invited me! Yi Li just woke up. It turns out that Zheng Banqiao intends to knock over the inkstone, and his heart is full of admiration for Zheng Banqiao!
At present, the monk asked Yi Li to write an inscription. Legend has it that Li Yi and Zheng Banqiao worked together once, and this painting was still preserved in Jinshan Temple in Zhenjiang in the early days of liberation.
Kitchen God, Bridge God and Bull God
In ancient times, it was too hard and tired to grow crops on cultivated land entirely by manpower. In the wind and the sun, farmers always make ends meet, and they are often exhausted in the fields because of digging.
The resentment of the world is getting worse. One day, the jade emperor was calling all the immortals to discuss, when he suddenly saw a stream of resentment rushing into the Lingxiao Hall and asked Taibai Venus, "What's the matter?" Venus quickly replied: "This is the bitterness of mankind. They rely entirely on people to plow the fields, often working hard in the fields, and how many farmers live a hard life. " Please ask the Jade Emperor to order the lifting of human suffering! "When the Jade Emperor heard this, he sent Kitchen God, Bridge God and Cattle God to help farmers solve the suffering of cultivated land planting.
Kitchen God and Bridge God came to the world and couldn't stand suffering. They want to go back to the Heavenly Palace, but they are afraid to leave. Only the cow god stayed with the farmers all day, pulling the plough and plowing the fields for them.
On this day, Kitchen God and Bridge God couldn't hold on any longer and wanted to escape. The Kitchen God said to the Cow God, "Niu Ge, I will go to heaven and come back tomorrow. When I come back, I will cook hot soup and rice for you. I will keep you warm in winter. If I don't keep my word, I won't stink to eat your shit in the future. " The honest cow god believed it and let the kitchen god go. Kitchen God has gone to heaven and will never return to earth.
When the bridge god saw that the kitchen god had left, he pretended to be sad and said, "Niu Ge, Niu Ge!" " I had a dream at night that my child was ill. Let me go back and have a look. Please do me a favor. "Bull God is afraid of being fooled again. Before he can answer, Bridge God swears," If I don't come back, you will shit on me later, and I won't hum. "The honest cow god was cheated again, and the bridge god never came back.
When the harvest was over, the Jade Emperor sent a message to Niu Shen, asking him to return to the Heavenly Palace. Cattle gods share joys and sorrows with farmers. With feelings, he was reluctant to leave, and he didn't want to go back to Heaven. He is willing to endure hardships on earth and help farmers solve their planting difficulties.
The kitchen god and the bridge god, who were afraid of suffering and fatigue, cast spells, and the kitchen god was sent to earth. People make cow dung into cow dung cakes, dry them as firewood, and stuff cow dung into the pot hall piece by piece. This is Kitchen God eating cow dung. The bridge god was pushed down by the jade emperor and placed on the river, making people trample on it at will. Most cows always shit on the bridge. This is the cow taking a shit on the head of the bridge god, and it is also the retribution that the bridge god deserves.
