God's name

There are different opinions about the name of God, why it was named and when it began. It is said that "Shennan" is a star name. Because the main mountain in Shennan (that is, the dry mountain in the north) is low, Yingshan (that is, Daliushan in the south) is high, and Yingshan is pressing the main mountain, so no talents can be produced. The ancients built a land temple in Nanshan to depress Yingshan, and built a pavilion in Beishan to improve the status of the main mountain, and named it after the stars in the sky to regulate "Feng Shui". May the gods be outstanding and the people be rich year after year. One said that it was recorded in the book "Da Bu Shu" in the Tang Dynasty: "Billion style accounts for the similarities and differences of three styles, one thunder formula, two days of Taiyi style, and three days of Liu Ren style." Among the "six benevolence", there are "Twelve Generals" and "December God". In December, God ascended to heaven in the first month, and reached its peak in the second month ... The deity of December (the cold of December the day after tomorrow, Feng Xuan was also the queen of God when she entered the womb for the second time). Zi belongs to "water" in five elements. Because the immortal is rich in porcelain, the kiln is full of fire, the water is correspondingly lacking, the five elements are not working well, and the fire and water cannot be balanced. The name of water is used to indicate that the water in the sky matches the fire in the underground, and water is used to help the fire. There is a saying in the Book of Changes: "Fire and water make Ji Ji a great tool." He also said that Shang Tang made contributions in praying for rain in the Three Sages of Yuzhou. In memory of him, local residents revered Shang Tang as a god and named him the village name.

There is another saying, that is, in the second year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, this place was given the title of auspicious beast, and the emperor ordered to build the White Tiger Temple in front of Daliushan Mountain and the Temple Bridge behind it, thus deducing the name of the deity.

There are several interesting legends about the word "East". In the Song Dynasty, some people sent Jun porcelain from Shen Dong to Bianjing. When Hui Zong saw it, he watched it again and again with ecstasy and even called it "wonderful and rare!" Asked where it was made, the courtiers told me that it was made after God. Hui Zong said: "This treasure comes after God and should be based on soil." The word "Hou" was added with a pen. So the goddess of God became a "god". After Emperor Gaozong of the Southern Song Dynasty ascended the throne, he thought it was not good to hold the soil under the mountain to the top of his head, so he moved the word soil below and changed it to "God". Empress Dowager Cixi liked Jun porcelain very much in Qing Dynasty. After listening to the story about the change of the word "Hou", she felt that it was not good to crush the earth on her head, but it was a pity to step on it. It is better to recite it and become a "god scale". There is also a saying that the word "east" was originally used later, and there is a mound below. Zhu Zaihou acceded to the throne in the Ming Dynasty. In order to avoid taboo, he removed the mound of Dong and wrote it as "God Queen". In the Qing Dynasty, the original name was restored and written as "God". Later, this idiom was used, and it was written as "the queen of God".

Shenhou is famous at home and abroad for producing Jun porcelain, so its naming is also concerned by all walks of life. After the establishment of People's Republic of China (PRC), Yuzhou Municipal People's Government and Shenhou Town People's Government sent people to investigate and wrote to inquire about the situation of Purple Mountain Observatory of Chinese Academy of Sciences. After investigation, in the astronomical history of our country, there is no star name of "God", which denies the legend that "God" is a star name, and there is no history to test other legends. Only in the Six Classics of Tang Dynasty is it recorded that "Shendong" is one of the gods in December. Because it belongs to water, Shendong kiln is flourishing, so it is named to achieve the balance between fire and water. The name of god may come from this.

As for why it got its name, it is not difficult to see from the legends that the similarities of the above legends are: the people of Shenqi have attached great importance to the rich local porcelain clay resources for a long time, and they all long for the kiln industry to flourish and develop economically under the blessing of the gods. In other words, "God" is also a god, "Hou" called the earth "Houtu" in ancient times, and "God" is also a place blessed by gods.

It is impossible to know when the name of God began. According to the inscription of Zhou Jun Shenqi Mountain Temple Monument in the 3rd year of Yongle in Ming Dynasty (1405). "... the magic mountain is in the wilderness of Zhou Jun ... In the autumn of Yongle in the second year, a Rui beast ... called" Worry "and ... in Ruiying Map issued a royal order. Ministers at home and abroad paid tribute and congratulated each other, and the name of Zi Shan was once spread all over the world. ..... In the autumn of the third year of Yongle in Ming Dynasty, it was written by Yi You Zhou Shizi. "So the name of God was established in the third year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, that is, before 1405. According to Biography of Zhou Di in Ming Dynasty and Book Integration and Professional Prescription, it can be proved that the word "God" in the early Ming Dynasty has a hill. In order to avoid Zhu Zaixing, the legend of moving graves is credible.

The name of Shendong Ancient Town originated from the Han Dynasty. High-impedance Liu Bangxi took Xianyang, benefiting from the rich products of Gulong Mountain. After the rescue, the imperial city was captured in one fell swoop. After he acceded to the throne, he named Gulong Mountain Daliushan and built a temple to worship heaven. After Wang Mang usurped power, Guangwudi fled to Nanyang to escape the pursuers behind the statue of Gaozu. To commemorate this time, this place was named "Queen of God".

At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Jun porcelain produced in this area was loved by people, with the title of "Shen Junbao Porcelain", "Exquisite Porcelain" and the title of "Shenhou" to show the world's worship of the earth god. Gao Zongnan's social economy was "revived" under the inspiration of a civilian military commander to rejuvenate the country. In his spare time, he visited Qinghe County and saw exquisite porcelain, which made Zhang Jun amazed overnight. Recall my father, appreciate the beauty of Jun porcelain, and set up an official kiln to burn it. If you can't burn for a long time, you will be angry at the kiln official. In order to survive, a new kiln official appeared, and the queen could burn Jun porcelain because of the decree of Hui Zong. In a rage, the inscription "Hou" was changed to "Dong" to show that everything in the world is more expensive than "God Hou". But it still couldn't burn out, and even several kiln officials were beheaded. In order to survive, kiln official artists spread around that Emperor Gaozong was the master of half the country, and his seal was only half, so he could not burn Jun porcelain. Hearing this, the emperor had to do it.
