Character experience, Xiang Tuo.

Xiang Tuo Jr. has fine features, ordinary, self-taught and clever. He likes to observe things since he was a child, and he likes to ask questions (tattoos). The questions raised are difficult for many adults to answer. In summer, Xiang Tuo saw thunder and lightning, followed by a downpour. He asked his father, "Why does it thunder and lightning?" Father said, "It was God who made thunder and lightning endure the queen's light. He roared and beat the bad guys and monsters to pieces. " Xiang Tuo asked, "Bad guys and monsters only exist in summer, but don't they exist in winter?" Father was tongue-tied. One day, my uncle came to visit relatives and enjoyed the cool in the yard at night. The sky is clear and full of stars. My uncle made fun of Xiang Tuo and said, "Hey, how many stars do you think there are in the sky?" Xiang Tuo said, "There are as many people as there are on the ground." Then I asked my uncle, "How many hairs do you have?" My uncle replied, "As much as yours. I don't believe you! " Xiang Tuo said, "Well, I'll count after you pull out your hair." Makes everyone here laugh.

Once, Xiang Tuo was playing at the door. Suddenly, he heard the chickens quack, but he saw them scurrying around looking for a hiding place. Xiang Tuo looked up, and an eagle was tossing and turning to catch an old hen, and a group of chickens were looking for food. At this time, Xiang Tuo left hand holding the old hen, right hand down a wax tree, one leg curled up, one leg kneeling. He held his head high and looked at the fearless eagle. When the eagle swooped down again, Xiang Tuo's right hand was released and only a hum was heard. The eagle took a wax stick and returned to the blue sky and never came back. Often asked where he came from, his mother said that your father fished, fished it out of the cool Wang Li and carried it back with a fish basket. Although Xiang Tuo didn't believe it, he became interested in Wang Liang and always wanted to see it. Wang Liang is located on the banks of the Angel River, named after the warm water in winter and cool water in summer. It is five or six miles away from Yuanjiazhuang and originated in front of Gongsheng Mountain. The two small rivers in Yuanjiazhuang are the upper reaches of Angel. One noon in summer: Xiang Tuo and some friends went downstream to Wang Liang, where they met a monster who wanted to eat an old fisherman. This monster is like a buffalo, with a unicorn, glowing eyes and talking. Seeing this situation, several friends were a little confused and flinched. Xiang Tuo wanted to find out, so he asked, "Grandpa, what's the matter?" The old fisherman said, "I was fishing just now, and I didn't want to catch a small gourd with a yellow silk symbol." I untied the silk and pulled out the cork to see what was inside. Unexpectedly, I want to drill out a little thing and grow into this enemy as soon as I roll. Say nothing, and you will eat me. "The monster said," I have been kept here by the Jade Emperor for thousands of years, and I haven't caught anyone to eat. Now I'm hungry and thirsty. I won't eat. Who will you eat? "Xiang Tuo said loudly to the old fisherman in the blink of an eye," You are so old, and you still cheat our children. Can such a large body drive be put into a small gourd? " The old fisherman said anxiously, "Ask it if you don't believe me! Little Xiang Tuo said to the monster, "If you are really flexible, get into this gourd and perform." . If it is true, you are not only eating old people, but also eating us children! "The monster was very happy, so it shrank smaller and smaller. Finally, it became like a little loach and got into the gourd. Xiang Tuo immediately tightened the plug. Hoo, go get the yellow silk rune. Tie the yellow silk on the waist of the gourd and throw it into the cool king. The old fisherman suddenly realized that he was very grateful to Xiang Tuo for saving his life. Xiang Tuo told everyone not to touch this bastard again. The monster never appeared again.

Once, an official passed by here. He had heard about Xiang Tuo's intelligence, so he wanted to see it for himself. He came to Xiang Tuo's house and explained his purpose in the name that everyone was hungry. Xiang's parents are usually very hospitable and often help others. This time, I saw that I was an official. Without saying anything, I asked the official what he wanted to eat. The official said, "Rice, noodles and rice will do, but I want 20 dishes." This really stumped the parents. How do you spell these 20 dishes? When Xiang Tuo came back from playing outside, he saw his parents reluctant and asked them what had happened. My parents told me what happened. Xiang Tuo thought about it and said to his mother, "bake a big cake and mix two plates of leeks with garlic and sauce." Mother was puzzled, and Xiang Tuo explained: "Raw leeks and cooked leeks, two leeks (nine) plus eighteen, plus garlic and sauce, make exactly twenty." Although my mother is not practical, she has to do so. When the food was served, he was stunned by the official and secretly admired Xiang Tuo's intelligence. After the car bypassed the "city", Confucius got off and walked to the "city". Seeing this unusual child sitting in the "city", he felt very cute, so he asked Xiang Tuo a series of questions. Confucius asked, "Do you know that there are no stones in rivers and mountains? What water has no fish? Who has nothing to do with this? Why are there no wheels? Why don't cows have calves? What horse has no pony? What knife has no ring? What fire is smokeless? Who has no wife? What woman has no husband? Which day is not enough? What day is today? Brother He has no children? What tree has no branches? Which city has no ambassador? Who has nothing to say? "

Xiang Tuo replied unhurriedly: "There are no stones in the earth and mountains, no fish in the well water, no doors in the empty door, no wheels in the car (sedan chair), no calves in the mud cow, no colt in the wooden horse, no rings in the knife, no smoke in the firefly, no wife in the fairy, no husband in the jade girl, insufficient winter, more than summer, lonely men and women, no branches in the dead tree, and no children in the empty city."

Confucius clapped his hands while listening and said, "Good! Good! " After Xiang Tuo answered, Confucius said, "I have a Background Bureau in my car. How about playing with you? " But Xiang Tuo said, "I don't play opera. The master is knowledgeable and the wind and rain are endless; The princes are rich, and the state is dead; Officials have money, and the copy is late; Farmers are knowledgeable and farming is out of date; Students are knowledgeable and forget to read poems; Children are very knowledgeable and should answer questions. This is useless, why learn it! " A philosophical answer made Kong both embarrassed and admired.

Then, I asked Kong three questions. As a result, Kong didn't answer a word and made a big blush. Finally, he had to say "the afterlife is terrible" and strolled away.

A seven-year-old child, faced with a knowledgeable and well-informed scholar, answered more than 40 questions, and was eloquent and philosophical, and was worthy of being a child prodigy in the world. With his extraordinary wisdom, Xiang Tuo stumped Confucius and was known as "Confucius' teacher". It's a pity that he died at the age of ten, which makes people feel sad. Ming's "Guangbo Natural History" said: "Xiang Tuo, a native of Shandong, died at the age of ten. I hope that when I die, there is no' child's God'. "At that time, there were some temples of the Great Sage and Xiang Tuo all over the country, but these temples are rare now. However, Xiang Tuo, the "child god", has not been forgotten. The story that he became a Confucius teacher at the age of seven is still circulating. One day, Confucius traveled around the world in a carriage. When I came to a place, I saw a child sitting in a "city" surrounded by mud. Confucius said, "Why not avoid the carriage when you see it? "

The child blinked and replied, "I said that you, Mr. Kong, know astronomy above, geography below and human feelings below." However, I haven't seen much of you today. Because from ancient times to now, I only heard that cars avoid the city. How do cities avoid cars? "

Confucius paused and asked, "What's your name?"

The child replied, "My name is Xiang Tuo."

To save face, Confucius asked Xiang Tuo a series of questions: "Your mouth is fierce. I want to test you-why are there no stones on the mountain? " What water has no fish? What door has no latch? What car has no wheels? What cows don't calve? What horse doesn't have a foal? What knife has no ring? What fire has no smoke? What man has no wife? What woman has no husband? Which day is too short? Which day is too long? What tree has no branches? Which city has no officials? Who doesn't have an alias? "

After asking, Confucius stared at Xiang Tuo and smiled.

Xiang Tuo thought for a moment and said, "Listen-there are no stones in the mud mountain, no fish in the well water, no latch on the door, no wheels on the sedan chair carried by people, no calves on the mud cow, no foals on the wooden horse, no rings on the machete, no cigarettes on fireflies, no wives for fairies, short days in winter, long days in summer, no branches on dead trees and no officials in empty cities.

Confucius was stunned. The child was incredibly clever!

Xiang Tuo didn't want Confucius to think much at this moment, so he asked him, "Now it's my turn to test you-why can geese and ducks float on the water?" Why do geese and cranes sing well? Why are pines and cypresses evergreen in winter and summer? "

Confucius replied: "geese and ducks can float on the water because their feet are square;" Hongyan and crane are good at singing because of their long necks. The reason why pines and cypresses are evergreen in winter and summer is that their tree hearts are solid. "

"no!" Xiang Tuo said loudly, "Are turtles able to float on the water because of their feet? Frogs are good at singing. Is it because their necks are long? Hu Zhu is evergreen in winter and summer. Is it because their stems are solid? "

Confucius thought the boy was too learned to argue with him himself, so he had to bow down and say, "The afterlife is terrible!" " Driving around. People are afraid of being famous, while pigs are afraid of being strong. Since Confucius became a teacher, it soon spread to Lu, Wu and Qi. At that time, the world was in chaos, and all countries wanted to attract talents and serve themselves. Especially in Qi State, Shi Tian usurped Chiang's regime. Yan Zi still advocates the rule of law, which is in direct opposition to Confucius' ceremony. He was worried that Xiang Tuo would be used by Confucius to serve Lu, and even more afraid that talents would appear in Ju, exposing Shi Tian's usurpation of power and restoration, with disastrous consequences. He tried to pull Xiang Tuo to serve Qi.

In the spring when he was ten years old, the State of Qi sent a military general and his entourage home to bring gifts. When Xiang Tuo's parents saw that it was an official army, they knelt down and kowtowed again and again, saying, "I wonder what the military adviser came to my house for?" An attendant saw little Xiang Tuo standing without kneeling and said, "Why don't you kneel when the master comes?" Xiang Tuo said, "Did you come all this way to make me kneel?" The military commander was surprised and said, "No ceremony". He explained his purpose, hoping to go to Qi, study first, then become an official, and enjoy the splendor. Xiang Tuo said, "How can Hailong associate with Jiang Ying? I am a small citizen of Jun, how can I be qualified to participate in politics in Qi? " Hearing this, the military commander knew that he was not a fellow traveler, so he returned to Qi Jun in time. Qi Jun decided to kill Xiang Tuo before it was too late, so as to avoid endless troubles. Send the military commander to lead a group of troops to kill Xiang Tuo again and try to kill Xiang Tuo with one knife. But Xiang Tuo is impeccable. Half a day, Xiang Tuo is still alive. A strategist came up with a plan and asked Xiangmu Xiang Tuo what kind of broken umbilical cord he used when he was born. Without saying anything, the military commander ordered the mother to be killed and left angrily. After the officers and men left, Xiang Tuo put his mother's head on Xiangmu's neck, breathed a sigh of relief, and her mother lived again. What is that? When this incident spread to Qi, Qi Jun became even more afraid. He sent officers and men, not only killed Xiangmu, but also cut eight pieces, and took Xiangmu's heart away before leaving. After the officers and men left, Xiang Tuo still butted up his mother's body piece by piece in the old way. Finally, his mother lost her heart. Xiang Tuo went to the mountains and killed a wolf. He cut out his heart and breathed a sigh of relief for his mother, who came back to life. Before liberation, Xiang Tuo's birthday was on the eighth day of the fourth lunar month every year. In order to commemorate this day, Youer Valley would sing a big play. At this time, some young women who had no children after marriage also came to ask for sons and gave birth to sons to live a long life. Year after year, a thousand years of fragrance. On a dry day, I sang in front of Gong Sheng Temple and prayed for rain. People who go to the opera must take hemp fiber, hat or umbrella, or they will get wet. It is said that when there is a thunderstorm in this area, it never hails. This is because saints are afraid that hail will damage villagers' crops.

It is of great benefit to the stele profile and the Jufeng area to travel in the clouds and rain. Looking at the distant villages and towns, they came to move the sacred man. It's raining. Because the statue of Mahatma is a clay tire, it is not easy to move. The presidents thought of a way, bought ebony to carve the upper body of the saint, and made a small table with boxwood for the lower body. As soon as the dragon robe was worn, it became a statue, with a statue like the county grandfather. Please use eight sedan chairs where there is a sedan chair, and please use a special sedan chair for Gong Sheng where there is no sedan chair. When walking, the flag board is displayed in front, the gong is sounded to clear the way, and the back is blown. As long as the people who move are sincere, the saints will give whatever they want, return the favor and rain in time. If you are rude, saints will cut their robes and break their righteousness. One year, a dry fire broke out in one place. They came to a city gate with eight big sedan chairs. Suddenly, the person sitting in the sedan chair felt heavy on his shoulders and asked for a rest. Then I lifted it, but I couldn't lift it. The villagers said, "Ask for a sign and ask the sage what it is." They shook the sign bucket and jumped out with a sign that said, "Although my God is small, I will never drill my little wife's crotch." The villagers suddenly realized that there was a Niangniang Temple above the city gate. The villagers had to lead the way to their destination, sang a few big plays, and it really rained. People rushed to plant soybeans and sweet potatoes, but forgot to send the sages back to the government. Fortunately, a fellow villager was thinking about this matter, so he found a donkey, tied the icon to the donkey, and asked a small herdsman to drive the donkey to send the icon back. The saint's ass was worn out because of the bumps on the road. From then on, this place will be moved again, and there is no way to move it. People call it "the land beyond the reach of saints". A long time ago, it was a desolate thatched mountain. Only an old fisherman named Li, with his wife and children, fished at sea every day for a living. One day, the old fisherman rocked his boat out to sea and cast a net after net, all of which were empty. Seeing that it is getting dark and there is a storm, it is very dangerous not to go back. But considering that the youngest son in the family was still starving, Xiang Tuo hesitated again. Just when he was in a dilemma, he looked up and saw a flock of seagulls hovering on the sea not far away. With years of fishing experience, there must be fish where seagulls haunt. The old fisherman sailed quickly and cast a net, but the net was empty. Xiang Tuo was so depressed that I frowned. I was about to pack my net gear and go home when I suddenly found something shining in my net bag. I took it out and saw that it was a finely carved jade seal. There are some zigzag words engraved on the printing surface, I don't know what they mean. A golden dragon coiled around the seal is dazzling, with a faucet sticking out from the top and a bright bead in its mouth. Strange to say, the sea is shining like a pearl, and it is calm in an instant, and the ship is sailing smoothly at sea. Ah! This seal is still a treasure! The old fisherman held the seal in his arms and rushed home. Early the next morning, the old fisherman built a shed on the top of the thatched mountain and hung his seal in the shed. The sea around Maocaogang suddenly calmed down. Fishermen found this good place and came to settle down one after another, and Maocaogang became a fire. It turns out that this jade seal is a Zhenhai seal given by the jade emperor to Ao Guang, the sea dragon king, and there is a dingfeng bead in Longkou. On that day, the three emperors of Qinglong privately took the treasure out of the palace to play, and accidentally lost it, which happened to be caught by the old fisherman. When the Dragon King disappeared from Yin Bao, he was surprised, scared and anxious. He was afraid that the Jade Emperor would be imprisoned and punished when he knew that he had ascended the throne. He was too anxious to eat or drink. He quickly sent soldiers and crabs to look around, and ordered the guards to tie up the troubled Prince Qinglong and beat him up.

Let's talk about the soldiers and crabs under the Dragon King. They searched everywhere in the East China Sea and found Yin Bao. There is a very careful crab general. He wandered around the sea and suddenly found that the sea around Maocaogang was a little strange. When the probe touched, I saw a golden seal on the thatched hill and hurried back to the palace to report. When the Dragon King heard the news, he immediately called the three armies, took the three princes of Qinglong and went to get the seal himself. The aquarium people rushed to the thatched hills on the waves. In an instant, it was dark, the waves were rolling and the tide was surging. Seeing that the situation was wrong, the old fisherman invited all the villagers to climb to the top of the column and surrounded the thatched shed with precious seals. Thanks to the great strength of Zhenhai Yin Bao, the tide didn't send it to the top. When the Dragon King saw that the plan failed, he flew into a rage. He jumped into the sea and shouted, "Who dares to take my Dragon Palace treasure? Give it quickly! " An old fisherman's clear voice replied, "The Dragon King of the East China Sea! You usually make waves, destroy my fishing boat, hurt my folks and prevent everyone from living a stable life. Today, the precious seal fell into our hands. How can we give it back to you easily? " Hearing this, the Dragon King bristled with anger: "Good! If you don't print it back, I'll tell you to die in the sea one by one! " Then he took a long drink and sprayed water directly on the post. The old fisherman took the precious seal in his hand unhurriedly, held it high and said loudly, "If you don't be reasonable, I'll smash it!" This frightened Ao Guang, who repeatedly waved his hand and said, "Don't break it! Don't smash it! Lao Zhang, don't take it amiss. As long as you return my seal, you can choose the treasures in the Crystal Palace. " The old fisherman sneered, "We fishermen don't want your Dragon Palace treasures!" "So, so, so ... so what do you want?" "It is not difficult to return your precious seal. It depends on three things. " Now the Dragon King had no choice but to bow his hand and say, "Which three pieces? Please tell me. " "First, from now on, it is forbidden to make waves and hurt fishermen." "Don't worry." "Second, the ebb and flow of the tide must be limited by time and cannot be capricious." "Don't worry." "Third, give our fishermen 10,000 tons of seafood every day." "This ... offering 10,000 tons of seafood every day really hurts the dragon king's heart, but in order to get the imperial seal, he had to nod and say," That's fine. "Master Roshi immediately drew up an imperial edict and publicly announced that from now on, it would send 10,000 tons of seafood to the fishermen in Wushenma and Yang 'an every day. There are two tides every morning and evening, and the second day of each month 16, but the tide must not rise above the threshold of the old fisherman's house. When the Dragon King announced the decree, he ordered Prime Minister Turtle to come forward and get the seal. The old fisherman stopped him with his hand and asked, "In that case, what is the basis? "The Dragon King sneered:" I respect the Dragon King of the East China Sea. If I speak like a mountain, will I still break my promise to you? "People really look down on me!" The old fisherman thought for a moment and said, "Look down on it, no matter what the big deal is, I think it is based on the fixed wind bead!" " With that, he took out the wind-setting beads from Longkou and returned the seal to Prime Minister Gui. The dragon king was eager to get the imperial seal, so he had to give up his love very reluctantly, so he gave him a dirty look. This stare doesn't matter, but it scared the three princes of Qinglong. He was frightened and afraid that he would be sad later, so he suddenly jumped up and roared to attract his sworn brother, White Tiger. Qinglong and Baihu pounced on the old fisherman, trying to recapture the pearl of Ding Feng. Seeing that they were ferocious, the old fisherman quickly took out the dingfeng beads and struck them hard at Qinglong and Baihu. Just listen to plop, Qinglong was knocked to the east of Maocaogang by the headwind pillar, and turned into a hill, becoming the Qinglong Mountain today. The white tiger fell to the west of Maocaogang and became a hill, which is today's White Tiger Mountain. That Ding Feng pearl fell into the South China Sea and became an island, which is now Lujiazui. Since then, Maocaogang has a green dragon on the left and a white tiger on the right, with Lujiazhi as the barrier in front, making it a natural fishing port. The fishing grounds of Wushenma and Yang 'an are full of fish, and the fishing port is becoming more and more prosperous. In memory of Xiang Tuo, fishermen call this place "Xiang Tuo Gate". There is a mountain 8 kilometers northeast of Beikuo Town, called Cangtou Mountain, also known as Xiangzi Mountain. There are many strange rocks and steep cliffs and caves on the mountain. Legend has it that Xiang Tuo was killed in this mountain, hence the name. At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, the Zhou Dynasty gradually declined, and the vassal states dominated each other and fought for years, conquering and killing, which brought endless suffering to the people. After the story of Xiang Tuo's "Three Difficulties" Confucius was widely circulated, the princes and emperors of Zhou were all afraid that the child would grow up in the future, and once he assisted any vassal, he would definitely be the king. Can other countries use such a pillar of the country? As a result, the governors of various countries rushed to send warriors to spy on Xiang Tuo's residence in order to hijack it in their own country and reuse it in the future.

In order to escape the war, Xiang Tuo's parents lived in the mountains and used the gap between the wars to sow and weed in the fields. Later, when I saw three or five groups of warriors and spies asking about their son, I felt something strange. Xiangmu was worried that her son's outspoken words might cause some trouble, so Xiangfu hid Xiang Tuo in a cave on Dongshan Mountain, sealed the cave with stones, and delivered food in the morning and evening. I didn't expect this matter to be secretly followed by warriors of Wu and Qi. At the same time, the warriors of the two countries surrounded the mouth of the cave and advised them to go back to their own countries, but they refused sternly: "Go back and tell your monarch that Xiang Tuo is a native and rooted in Ji. Although Ji is dead, the soil is still there, and the roots without soil are rotten. How can Xiang Tuo leave the soil! "

The warriors of the two countries failed to persuade, so they rushed to the cave to hijack Xiang Tuo and killed the generals inside and outside the cave. Finally, the warriors of Wu killed the warriors of Qi and took them into his hands. He was about to go down the mountain, but he saw the slain Qi Daxia and his soldiers lined up at the foot of the mountain. When the warriors of the State of Wu saw that they could not break through, they hid in the mountains and prepared to take off at night. They were deadlocked for five days and nights, and the people of Wu had eaten their own dry food, so they sent people to find something to satisfy their hunger.

Soldiers surrounded the mountain, and incense wood failed to deliver food several times. Therefore, the tea and rice did not enter, and his clothes were wet with tears. His father kept telling him, "Let's eat some food and take care of ourselves. They won't do anything to you. " Mother Xiang said with tears, "I'm not worried about what they will do to her." Have you forgotten that when she was born under the cliff of Hezhu River, her umbilical cord was impenetrable. Did she cut it with thatched leaves? But I've been hungry for five days and I'm starving! "

The couple's words happened to be heard by the people of Wu, so they went to the cliff to pick up thatch, threw themselves on the ground, and madly cut off their heads with thatch.

In this way, Xiang Tuo, who was smart and upright, swore to be with the country for his honor and was killed at the age of twelve in the war for hegemony among vassals. "The sage leads the way" is a topic that people often talk about. Several ditches near the west of Yurgu are called Wudao River. Further west, several ditches near the Shandong side of Gong Sheng are called Dagou No.2 ditch; There is also a canyon in the northwest corner of Gong Sheng Temple, called Northwest Kouzi. These places are criss-crossed, with high mountains and dense forests and few households. At night, the wind blows trees, wolves howl and foxes crow, which makes people feel creepy. People who walk here often get lost. At this time, the lost people just need to pray: "Holy Lord, have mercy and let me go!" " "At this time, either an old man shows the way, or the moonlight shines and the road is bright. People wake up from their dreams and rush to the future, safe and sound, and when they turn to thank them, there is no old man.

Sages treat people like this, but they are different faces to bad people. They will give you some color to see from time to time. It is said that before this, the habitual bandit Xu Xiaogan

He killed more than 100 people in Shantou Village, Shanxi Province, ransacked the village, set fire to half the village, and then went to Gong Sheng Temple to demonstrate, raving: "Everyone said that Gong Sheng's sedan chair was afraid to sit, so I'll try it today and see what he did to me!" Then he got into the sedan chair, drank his minions and carried them to the east. After walking less than a mile, the northeast wind blew and it rained heavily, hitting the sedan chair door, making him unable to move forward. He ordered his minions to carry him back, and then there was a southwest wind and heavy rain, which carried him back to the temple. After falling from the sedan chair, a whirlwind blew, which scared him out in a cold sweat and looked forward. Soon, bandits fought for territory, and the bandits Zhu Xinzhai and Zhang Buyun of the 57th Army tricked him into disarming Huangdun and escorted him to Jinan with more than 100 people, all of whom were shot by Han Fuju. In the 1940s, the temple was destroyed, and the woodcut was carried home by honest men and hidden in his own hanging shop. When his wife found out, she also supported the bodhisattva heart and behavior of the old man. On holidays, they burn paper, incense, kowtow and peek at icons. From then on, everything went well in this family, and the days became more and more prosperous. The old couple lived in the era of reform and opening up, and they didn't worry about food and clothing. Over ninety years old, I can take care of myself. A large group of children and grandchildren, all filial. Those who go to school study hard, those who become cadres are promoted step by step, and their business is profitable every year. One day, Ma Laohan suddenly fell to the ground and was dying. People were busy putting on the shroud, and the wife standing by suddenly fell to the ground and died with a long breath. The children held a funeral for the two old people together, accompanied by the crying of their parents. Everyone in the village says that good results will be rewarded. This is called a fair death!

Let's talk about icons first. At the beginning of the ten-year turmoil, it was found out when it was "breaking the old four and establishing the new four" and took it to the site of the land temple to fight with the land god. Some elders attending the meeting were taciturn, and young activists ignored these, not only criticizing, but also moving. A young man ran to the icon and said, "What should I be? Isn't this an old man carved out of wood? " Say, according to the wooden statue is a slap in the face. When he turned to speak again, his nose was dripping blood. The participants looked at each other and the meeting broke up in discord. It is said that at that time, I didn't know which level had instructions, and the collected superstitions (mostly old books, genealogies and idols) were handed over step by step and kept or destroyed by the county public security bureau. After the meeting, an activist tied the icon with two ropes and four standing class icons and sent them to the township office with a rifle. However, when the man came back, he plunged into the house and never went out again, not even eating. I heard someone outside and went to the bottom of the bed. My family brought me food and ate it under the bed. Before long, I died. People said everything. In recent years, with the development of tourism, the temple culture and economy have also risen quietly, so the legend of Gong Sheng Temple has a new content: The year before last, a boss who made a fortune doing business in Northeast China, for some unknown reason, wanted to invest in rebuilding Gong Sheng Temple, which was supported by relevant departments and the masses.

There is a persimmon tree at the root of the wall in front of the original Gong Sheng Temple site, and the building blocks the road. The builder planed the tree and put it aside. This root system is developed, and it was taken a fancy to by a root carving enthusiast, so he paid for it and transported it with a walking tractor first. I didn't go far after putting the tree in the car. The tractor tilted and the roots rolled from the car to the ground. The buyer thought the car was small and found an agricultural vehicle. As a result, the car was run over before it went far. Now the buyer is dumbfounded. Just when he was at a loss, an elder who came to watch said, "This is Gong Sheng Temple, with nearly 100 acres of mountains and fields. It is Guanshan, originally belonging to Rizhao County People's Government, and now it is placed under Lanshan Working Committee, and it is taken care of by the local village. The state has long stipulated that ancient and famous trees are prosperous but not rotten. There is a local legend in our country that anything that adds color to the holy mountain and is beneficial to the people will be done boldly, and naturally it will be safe. In the 1960s, Zhangzhuang Reservoir opened a mountain to run a school, and teachers and students of Beikuo Middle School planted tea safely in this mountain. Although this persimmon tree is not an ancient tree, it is almost seventy years old, which hinders the construction and can be moved forward! Why do you want it to die? No, the saint won't let you go. You young people can only carry this tree away if you burn paper incense, set off firecrackers and apologize to the saints. " So the relevant personnel followed suit and found a heavy vehicle to transport the tree away.

Standing on the reservoir dam in front of Gong Sheng Temple, you can see the pine trees dripping green at the top of the temple, and there are apple orchards and chestnut orchards on both sides of the temple. At the foot of the mountain, there are hundreds of acres of tea gardens like girls' skirts, and Gong Sheng is also like Maitreya. It is surrounded by huge mountain peaks and Hui Ze Donggang, embracing stone tablets and bearing Lanshan. He overlooks Lanping Railway, Lan Yan Highway, Steel Factory Highway and Tongsan Expressway, smiling as if welcoming tourists and donors from all directions.
