Can escape, and many people were killed in the end. It marks the coordinates where a large number of people were massacred (the specific location and related information belong to Zongbo disciples, and will not be described in this article). This word is called "ghost", which originally refers to commemoration of the dead. people.

Although I know these historical facts, I have never had the opportunity to go there to worship in person. If I have the opportunity in the future, I hope to see this "ghost" place with my own eyes.

The seven stars of the Wei constellation govern thirty-nine stars. According to "Historical Records·Tianguan Shu", "the stomach is the heavenly warehouse."

An article in memory of the anti-epidemic martyrs and people who died in the epidemic

You are about to travel far!

When we were wearing white mourning clothes and weeping bitterly for the loss of our loved ones, you were arranging your clothes, smiling at each other calmly, and chanting side by side, "Singing to wine, how is life. Like morning dew." , There will be many hardships in the future." Walking in song, leaving us to go to the place where the gods live. Staring at the figures of all the kings gradually walking away, and the voices of singing becoming silent again, I wrote this eulogy to bid farewell to the spirits of the anti-epidemic martyrs and the people’s victims of the epidemic.

Whenever the country is in crisis, loyal people in the majestic China will step forward, sacrifice their lives for righteousness, act with integrity, sacrifice their lives for the country, and be loyal without regrets. When the epidemic came, countless medical staff used their bodies and blood to build the Great Wall of China to fight the epidemic. With the benevolence of doctors, they braved the dangers of the epidemic to save lives and heal the wounded, and stayed on the front line of the fight against the epidemic, even at the risk of sacrificing their lives in the line of duty. The Chinese people have a strong moral character. Regardless of whether they are rich or poor, high or low, even when faced with national calamities, the people continue to fight with great loyalty and bravery, shaking the mountains and rivers. Serve the country sincerely and move forward in life and death.

The sad wind brings desolation, and the tomb songs leave sadness. The mourning in the grass has passed away, and the soul returns to its hometown. Loyal ministers and righteous men have a great reputation.

Today is the Qingming Festival in the Year of Gengzi (2020). The spring flowers are tied to the cang branches, and the orchids are swaying in the deep mountains. I climbed to the distant mountains of Edai, looked at the mighty rivers, and felt sad for the prosperity of the vegetation and the hurt of all the kings. When I say farewell, I offer wine to the jade cup, and sing a song of lamentation to you, and practice it for you all.

Don’t you see that Kun and Hao’s ambitions are thousands of miles away, and they are not afraid of wandering in the abyss and the sea.

Don’t you see the great peng spreading its wings like hanging clouds, soaring up the blue sky and removing the breath of dust.

The green pines are proud of the frost and snow, like wax torches burning in the morning dew.

Even if Qiu Ju recommends a fallen hero after death, what is the regret of being loyal to the country?

Praise from all over the world is taken lightly, and slander from fools is not discouraged.

Knowing that it is not a disaster, go to the country to worry about it, take dangerous lives, and be brave and fearless.

It is shameful to seal the wolf to Xu, and burn his body for the sake of justice.

As the years pass, the majestic spirit remains, and the soul stays in the soil.

You are about to set off on your journey, but the road will be long and difficult!

When we put on mourning clothes to grieve for our loved ones, you have already taken off your masks, protective clothing, put on clean and dignified clothes, and "waved yourself away." There are also some ladies mixed in the team, women are not inferior to men. Their faces are as beautiful as Gracilaria orchids. I firmly believe that one day, you will return to this world again, just as I firmly believe that you will only hide in the tomb for a short time. When the country and the people are in need again, thousands of warriors will pursue Your footsteps, put on the armor and battle clothes again, go out to fight for the country and the people again, and be loyal and filial to this seven-foot body.

The heroic spirits are always there to understand my heart. If you all behave virtuously, future generations will have good friends. Covering your tears will always be mourning, and your return journey will be blocked for a long time. Songs are raised to clear the temple, and worship is enjoyed.
