Where is the legendary Golden Bamboo Palace? Can you tell me something about this legend?

It's in Chaotianmen, just to the left of Golden Ocean Shopping Center.

Legend has it that there is a "Golden Bamboo Temple" under the water at the intersection of the Yangtze River and Jialing River.

This folk story was published in the magazine Folk Tales at that time. I read this story when I was in junior high school, which was fifty years ago.

Legend has it that there was a coolie at that time, like the "great" in Chongqing now, who took a load from Chengdu to Zhu Jin Temple in Chongqing. Imagine how hard work this is.

After arriving in Chongqing, I came to Chaotianmen, the "ancient Chongqing Xiongguan" at that time. Lifu sat by the river, waiting for someone to get the goods. After a while, I saw the intersection of two rivers. The two waters separated and a man picked up the ladder. The Taoist priest asked Lifu to go down with him. The stone stairs lead all the way to the water's edge, with lush bamboos on both sides. Soon, I arrived at a temple in the water (the temple is not in the water). After serving Lifu's meal, the Taoist priest said to Lifu that there was nothing to reward you in the temple. For the sake of being a porter, I'll give you two bamboo poles to be used as shoulder poles in the future.

Chongqing people are simple and understand that Taoism is difficult to grow (it was a custom for people to do good things for temples at that time), not to mention that bamboo just comes in handy as a pole.

At home, the old mother didn't blame her son after listening to the story. Then put two bamboos behind the door. The family goes to bed.

The next day, my son got up late and his mother made him sleep enough. After dinner, my son has to go out to find a way out. I went to the door and picked up the pole. When I opened the door, I saw two bamboos shining with golden light.

They know that this is a reward given to them by Taoist priests. The whole family is very happy.

To show their gratitude, mother and son went to Chaotianmen to worship. For many days, for a long time, they didn't see the two rivers separate and stone ladders appeared.

The story is handed down like this.

At present, there are facades and entertainment places with the names of "Zhu Jin Temple" and "Zhu Jin Palace" in Chaotianmen area.
