According to the Records of the Later Han Dynasty, the story that Wang Mang drove Liu Xiu away and the grandmother in Beishan, Yixian County turned into a maggot to save Liu Xiu has spread to this day.
According to legend, the system of "Empress of the Local Emperor" in Zhengding (now Zhengding) of Hebei Province is the village surname above Tangxian County. Xiang is a beautiful young woman. Her parents died young, leaving only four brothers and sisters at home. In the cannibal old society, the three brothers saw through the world of mortals and became monks. They all achieved good results and were named Jade Emperor. There is only one person left in the family. This is very sad. She thought, I might as well jump out of the sea and find a beautiful place. Miss Xiang made up her mind, worshipped the Buddha, closed the door, locked it, bid farewell to her neighbors, slept in the wind, and walked day and night, heading north. One day, she was blocked by a sea, and she was worried that she couldn't cross the sea. Suddenly, she shot a red light from the water and went straight to the upper bound of the worse gate. This red light is a clairvoyance of maritime patrol. Clairvoyance returned to the Heavenly Palace and reported to the Jade Emperor that a woman in the lower bound was stopped by the sea, and the Jade Emperor sent Taibai Venus to visit the worse heaven. Venus, too white, came to the worse gate and pulled out the clouds. That's Otome of the Jade Emperor. So he hurried back to the Jade Emperor, who said to Tai Jinxing: Take Otome across the sea by boat and send him to Danxia Cave in Hongyashan, Fanyang, Baoding for practice! Taibai Venus led the lower bound, turned into a fishing boat, rowed to Sheng Xiang and crossed the other shore. Since then, Sheng Xiang Danxia Cave has been practicing hard. At the same time, there are eight other senior sisters practicing meditation and alchemy. When you are hungry, you eat pine and cypress seeds and drink mountain spring water. Several sisters live together. The god of our "mother temple" is grandma's sister in Beishan. Her name is, and she is honored as Sister Song. Several sisters are often protected by the land god, and tigers, leopards and wolves are not allowed to get close to her. After 40 years of practice, they have cultivated into immortals, shuttling between heaven and earth, and have come down to earth to comfort the wise monarch with all the immortals in order to help heaven and all beings.
At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang usurped the throne, and Liu Xiu, a descendant of the Han Dynasty, was determined to overthrow Wang Mang and restore the Han Dynasty. When Liu Xiu came to Hebei to appease counties, he abandoned Wang Mang's politics. Follwed over the wall and chased Liu Xiu everywhere. Liu Xiu was defeated by Hongya Mountain, and follwed was still in pursuit. When Liu Xiu saw the mountain blocking the road, he stamped his feet and sighed: "Is it possible that Wang Mang will prosper and the Han Dynasty will perish? ! "Sighing, I suddenly saw a farmer plowing the land. Liu Xiu quickly explained the truth and asked for help. The farmer quickly hid Liu Xiu in the ploughed loose soil. Liu xiu breathed through the gap drilled by the mole, and the mang army caught up with this. Liu Xiu was nowhere to be found, and the mountain was blocked, so he retreated temporarily. Later, Liu Xiu came out of the soil and told Gu Gu to go to the grass. Gugu heard wrong and went to the good land. So far, there are so many cockroaches in the good land. Thanked the farmer and fled to Hongya Mountain. When the mang army suddenly saw that Liu Xiu had gone to Hongya Mountain, they pulled out their horses and made a comeback. Liu Xiu was chased to the edge of the cliff and the soldiers were surrounded. Liu Xiu couldn't help sighing: "It's really dead!"
It is said that Sheng Xiang has come down from heaven. After she ordered the farmer to rescue Liu Xiu, she went to water the flowers and the whole tree near Danxia Cave. Suddenly, she heard the boy on patrol report to her and was in big trouble again. When desperate soldiers chased the cliff, Liu Xiuning would rather die than surrender, closing his eyes and jumping off the cliff. It landed on the tiger's back and the tiger took it away. He crossed the Dongshan Mountain from Beishan, climbed the mountains and ran to the stone platform of Seshu Village, passing through Chang 'an Village and Daquan Village (later renamed Hudu Village). This is the origin of the name Hudu Village. Away from the pursuers, he met an old tree, and the tiger rubbed Liu Xiu off it. Liu Xiu is like a dream of Conan. When he woke up, this was the border of Seshu Village. Song Sufang is visiting the mountain. Looking into the distance, he sees a beautiful man who is exhausted. After asking about the situation, seeing that he was extraordinary, he let Liu Xiu live in seclusion for a few days. According to folklore, during the break, Sister Song made cakes with the wild vegetable "Thousand Vegetables Valley" (also known as celebrity dishes) to satisfy Liu Xiu's hunger. Liu Xiu called it a life-saving grass, so the "Thousand Vegetables Valley" grew every year and everyone liked it. One day, Liu Xiu was walking in the mountains in Beigou, Dongshuiyu Village. Suddenly it rained heavily and flash floods broke out, and Liu Xiu almost lost his life. However, Liu Xiu was so lucky that he turned off the water in Beigou with his fingers. There is no clear spring in Beigou mountain range so far, while Xigou clear spring is everywhere, covered with mountain canyons. So far, it is only separated by a mountain, which makes people think deeply and don't understand its mystery. After a few days of rest, Liu bid farewell to Sister Song and went to Anzhuang. Halfway through Chang 'anzhuang, I was hungry. When I was worried, I suddenly saw a baked wheat cake in the cave, and immediately filled my hunger. Leave a classic legend. Some descendants can smell the smell of baked wheat cake here, hence the name "baked wheat cake canteen", which has a real scene. After a ravine, jujube trees were born, and the crochet went into Liu Xiu's clothes. Liu Xiu immediately pulled out the crochet. Up to now, the jujube trees in this ravine are not long, which is an anecdote throughout the ages; You can check existing physical objects. Then Liu Xiu fled back to Beishan, Yixian County. After learning the news, Wang Mang went back to kill Liu Xiu, which led to the story of "the peasant woman turned into a maggot to save Liu Xiu" (not much to say). There is also an allusion that Liu Xiu passed Chang 'an Village when he was chased, and the tiger was rubbed off with a big tree. When he woke up, he was hungry. Seeing a mulberry tree covered with mulberry fruits, he tasted it sweet and delicious, so he ate his stomach. He thought that after I won the world, I would definitely make this tree king and build Luoyang as the capital in the twenty-fifth year of the Eastern Han Dynasty. When Emperor Guangwu ascended the throne, he was mistakenly called King Toona, which is the origin of the folk name Toona. The cypress refused to accept it, and I was not as evergreen as the Chinese toon, which led to "jumping off the cliff in one breath and bursting the mulberry tree." Poplar clapped his hands and laughed. Flowing in folklore. "
Later, Liu Xiu rallied, collected the remnants, and United various forces. After a long battle, he finally overthrew Wang Mang's rule. In 25 AD, the Han regime was re-established, and Luoyang was the capital. After Emperor Guangwu ascended the throne, Minister Liu Zhiguo was sent to Hongya Mountain to look for his godmother. Liu searched for a long time on the mountain. When he was in a hurry, he suddenly saw an old man collecting medicine in a deep mountain canyon. Liu hurried forward to ask, it turned out that the old man who was collecting herbs was Liu Ruoyi, a Taoist priest of Qianfo Temple, which showed that Zhang had lost consciousness. Liu Zhiguo returned to North Korea and told Guangwudi. Liu Xiucai realized that the rescuer was the godmother, and immediately pardoned Hongya Mountain as the Phoenix Mountain, known as the "local tyrant after inheriting heaven". Sister Song, who later adopted herself, is the sister of dopted mother. Immediately, Hao was pardoned as "Mother Fengshen" and built a temple "Li Shitai", which is a treasure trove of geomantic omen and is in charge of the Dragon King of the Four Seas. The good weather in the world made him live and work in peace and contentment, and immediately sent Liu Zhiguo, the minister, to build temples for the jade emperor's nine school sisters one by one (commonly known as nine old mothers). Each has its own history, and its name will last forever. This is the real "Song Sufang Sister Temple, the mother of Li Shitai Xishan". Incense has flourished several times in history, but it was once interrupted due to historical reasons such as war. Later, the people mistook Xishan Old Mother Temple for Yixian's "Temple of Northern Mountain Emperors", hence its incredible name. Yixian is the North Mountain, and there is no such thing as the West Mountain. This temple is the real "Xishan Old Mother Temple". It is a historical misunderstanding that good men and women from afar have been longing for Yixian to make pilgrimages.
The truth is:
History has been surging for thousands of years,
Mistake the back soil for the western hills,
Two flowers bloom side by side,

Shan Hai Jing says: "The earth is sandwiched between Liuhe and the four seas. The sun shines, the stars follow, and the four seasons are disciplined. He is too old, God is born, and his things are different, or heaven or life, only saints can understand. " But in my opinion, through the ages, the sage who can understand other ways is Yi Liao. The distant road covers the sky, and the stars and the moon are misty, so no mortal can cross it.
"Zuo Zhuan" said: "Meteorites, stars". Meteorites are no different from all sentient beings in the world, and they are no different from the lowly loess in the Central Plains. However, it is whispers, a bridge to heaven and an angel of God. I have spent my whole life eating and sleeping, and I want to collect meteorites from all over the world in one room. However, the size of the world, the vastness of the universe and the length of time are beyond the reach of human beings. Although there are not many collections, I often play with them and get the treasure. Oh! Come on, be happy! Time is ruthless, after all, old. What I have heard, seen and collected in my life is recorded here for future generations:
Rizhao: Shipenshan, four miles south of Rizhao County, Yizhou Prefecture.
Luo Yi Meteorite: There is no trace of meteorite between Yihe River and Luohe River, and its location cannot be verified. According to the chronicles of bamboo books, "after Yu's death, the rain and gold fell in Xiayi for eight years." The chronicles of bamboo books also say: "Ten Years in Xia Jie", ... the stars fell like rain at night, and the earthquake exhausted Elo.
Blue Mountain Meteorite: 40 miles west of Lanshan County, Yizhou District. There are still stone remains, which look like iron cows. Locals regard it as a god and erect temples to worship it. The temple has been broken, and the temple monument still exists. It is said that the meteorite fell in the Tang Dynasty and became a temple because of the magical cow.
Shouguang Meteorite: fifty miles west of Shouguang County, Qingzhou Prefecture. "Twenty-four Records of Song History" says: "In the first month of the third year of Qinglong in Wei Mingdi, the meteorite was in Shouguang". There is a meteor village in Naidi, and there is a meteorite-shaped stone mortar next to the village, also called meteor stone mortar, which is one of the eight scenic spots in Shouguang. Li Zhenyong said: "Yu Haicun's name is a meteor. You choose to stay here. Whoever returns to heaven with a jade pestle seems to use a high hill to expose the earth. "
Guide meteorite: 50 miles north of the guide house. "Spring and Autumn Annals" says: "In the sixteenth year of Lu Xigong, in the spring of the first month, the king of Wu Shenshuo fell in the fifth year of Song Dynasty. The Atlas of Yuanhe County has been published for seven years: the county (Songcheng County) is forty miles north, and it fell in the Spring and Autumn Song Dynasty, and its place is the pool.
Wen county Meteorite: 80 miles west of wen county, Huaiqing Prefecture. "Twenty-four History of Song Dynasty" contains: "In May of the fifth year of Jin Taikang, two meteorites were discovered in Ding Si, Wen and Heyang. In the first month of the sixth year of Taikang, the meteorite was in Wensan. " There is a Han Yu tomb in Ximeng County, Wenxian County, and there is a giant meteorite next to it, which is undoubtedly Wenxian meteorite.
Feixiang meteorite: 30 miles east of Feixiang County, Guangping Prefecture. "Twenty-four History of Song Shu" says: "In May of the eighth year of Xian Di, the stars in Jincheng fell in Feixiang."
Wuwei meteorite: Wuwei county, Liangzhou area. "Twenty-four histories-Song Shu" says: "In May of the eighth year of Xihe, the stars fell to the fat country. In the first month of the ninth year of the first river, the meteorite was in Liangzhou. " Author: Qin, who used to live near the old mother temple, now lives in Australia.
My hometown is at the foot of Fenghuang Mountain in Taoluo Town, Rizhao City. When I was a child, I often went to Phoenix Mountain with my grandfather. My favorite is the big ginkgo tree as old and tall as the canopy. Under that tree, there are a series of footprints left by my childhood playing hide-and-seek with my friends, as well as my longing for the future and pink dream left by wandering alone under the tree when I was a teenager. At that time, I always wanted to know who planted such an ancient tree, but few people in the village could tell clearly. My grandfather said that it was planted by Jiang Taigong when he took refuge in the East China Sea coast of China. It is even older than the ginkgo tree in Fulaishan, Juxian County. At that time, I knew nothing about Jiang Taigong, but my grandfather was my hero and knew everything. I believed everything he said. Later, I heard from a friend that the ginkgo tree was cut down during the Cultural Revolution, and I was as sad as losing my grandfather. My golden childhood will never be found again, alas! My ginkgo tree is as old as grandpa, and my soul is back!
I remember that the mountain to the west of Phoenix Mountain is called Caishan, because my name is Cai Hong. My grandfather is a master of Feng Shui. He said that Caishan Mountain has excellent feng shui, with the sea in the east and the mountaineering mountain in the back. There are bodhi old zu and sun stone on the mountain, the Sun God Mausoleum on the left and Jimiaolou Mountain on the right. It is the best feng shui treasure he can see in Rizhao, and there will be great people in the future. In addition, Wang Xianhe in the mountains was given by his ancestor Qin Shihuang. Grandpa said the word wealth is too corny, so let's call it Cai Hong. I don't think it's useful for me, but it's true that Taoluo Town at the foot of the mountain has always been a prosperous commercial port, and there is a world-class Nobel Prize winner Ding Zhaozhong in the town.
Grandpa said that the so-called bodhi old zu is a stone head in the south valley of Caixin Mountain, tall and big. When I was a child, I often climbed to the top of the stone statue to see the scenery, and sometimes I learned to pee on it. The sea breeze blew and it was very comfortable. I didn't know it was a stone portrait at first, but I thought it was a tall and big stone. It was fun. But my grandfather said it was a stone statue, which was left by an ancient ancestor earlier than Qin Shihuang, because there was a round sun painted under the stone statue, and it must belong to the sun god or goddess. Maybe it's because of long-term wind and rain erosion. Most of the stone face has fallen off. Only by careful observation and a little imagination can we see that this is a personal portrait. So few people in the village believe grandpa's story, but I do. Later, I never dared to hit the head of the statue of Sai-jo again.
I don't remember what the mausoleum of the sun god looks like. My grandfather said that the Sun God Mausoleum is actually a pile of rocks, but because there are rocks around it to form circular and radial light, he called it the Sun God Mausoleum. This is my grandfather's invention, and the villagers call it Luanshigang. Now I know that the original tomb of the ancients was to pile stones on the dead to prevent wild animals. This is probably the predecessor of the tomb.
Although I haven't returned to my hometown for many years, Sunstone and Jiming Mountain still often appear in my mind and in my sleep. The sun stone is actually a round boulder, standing alone on the top of the mountain, which really attracted me when I was a teenager. I wonder who has the strength to move it to the top of the mountain. At that time, I thought it must be made by a fairy, so I often pretended to sleep under the sun stone so that I could meet the fairy in my dream and teach me one or two treasures or spells. Later, after repeated attempts, I was very depressed. I realized that I must be not interested in gods, and then I lost confidence. I asked grandpa who made the sun stone. Grandpa said it might have been made when Pangu created the world. It might have been a boulder left over by the goddess mending the sky stone, or it might have been made by the sun shooting down from the sky, but there were no arrow marks on the sun stone.
Standing at the top of Caishan Mountain and looking north, Jimiaolou Mountain is like a rooster, with a long sound. It is magnificent and powerful. No wonder people call it Jimiaolou Mountain. Grandpa said that in ancient times, there were ten suns in the sky, which made the earth dry and cracked, the grass didn't grow, and the particles didn't harvest. People prayed to the gods at the top of the mountain. The God sent his son, a warrior who used bows and arrows, named Daxie, to shoot down nine suns in the lower bound, and the last one was too scared to come out at the bottom of the East China Sea. Without light and warmth, people can't live, so they come to ask the gods again. This time, the gods sent a jade chicken that can only speak the sun language. Yusuke told the sun that God had forgiven all its faults and let it come out to serve mankind. But the sun is afraid of the arrow of the big pavilion, saying that it will only dare to come out if Yufeng guarantees it. In this way, Yuji settled down at the top of the mountain behind Jimiao and called the sun out of the East China Sea every morning. This story left a very shocking impression on my young mind, and I often pestered my grandfather to repeat this beautiful story in the future.
To the south of the Sun Stone, there is a mountain peak to the east of the ancestor statue, whose name has been forgotten. I just remember standing on the top of the mountain and looking at the sea in the east, the ginkgo trees on Phoenix Mountain and the surrounding scenery. What I like best is the spectacular scenery in which the sun emerges from the East China Sea, the sunlight climbs the branches of Ginkgo biloba, and the blue waves are boundless and the sun is shining. In rainy weather, the water vapor from the sea fills the air in the mountains, surging like a storm, flying around and bumping, bursting with pines, raining and spreading, and being extremely decadent, just like the fairy mountain Qiongge. At that time, I thought it must be the most beautiful fairyland in the world. Qin Shihuang called this place Wang Xianxi. If the immortal is not here, where will he be?
The long river of memory, once opened, is hard to stop. I often miss my grandfather. He is a frustrated scholar, but he enjoys high prestige in the village. He is famous for his geomantic omen, and he is also very knowledgeable. Villagers always like to ask him for advice when they are in trouble. Grandpa often said that he would write a story book about Cai Shan, but after the war and displacement, he didn't write it in the end. Now that I have reached my grandfather's age, I really want to go back to my hometown and see the hometown that has plagued me for many years. Ginkgo trees are dead, and sunstone, Jiming Mountain and stone statues are still to be built. The old mother temple is gone, so the temple site should be kept. Today is the 60th anniversary of Grandpa's death. Writing a few lines can be regarded as a commemoration of Grandpa and the ancient ginkgo tree in his hometown.
