Who was Zhang Jiuling, a famous figure in the Tang Dynasty? How did Zhang Jiuling treat the Taishou couple well?

During the Kaiyuan period, Zhang Jiuling, a descendant, stayed behind and became a famous saint in the Tang Dynasty. He is known as the first person in Lingnan and the last celebrity in the prosperous era of Kaiyuan.

Legend has it that he had a vision when he was born, and his mother was pregnant in October. A fortune teller said: the fetus in the belly is an extraordinary person. There is no room for a small place, but a big place is born. So the Zhang family had to move to Shaozhou, where Zhang Jiuling was born.

Zhang Jiuling was gifted at an early age and extremely clever. When he was five years old, he could recite poems against others. He is called a prodigy.

A particularly interesting thing happened in the spring when Zhang Jiuling was seven years old. At that time, Zhang Jiuling followed his family to the famous Baolin Temple to worship. The pilgrims in the temple are like clouds, and the children in Zhang Jiuling think it is very fun. They had a good time all the way. Before entering the temple, they picked a blooming peach blossom and hid it in their sleeves.

Suddenly, a particularly loud voice shouted: Shaozhou satrap led the state officials to burn incense. For a while, pilgrims in front of the temple evaded, leaving the satrap with a place to worship. Zhang Jiuling looked as if nothing had happened. He looked at the satrap's entourage and took out the offering, not afraid at all.

Seeing that Zhang Jiuling was cute and lively, the satrap teased him and asked Zhang Jiuling, "Son, you have been staring at the fruit sacrifice. Do you really want to eat them? " I'll match a pair for you, and I'll give you fruit as long as you can match it, okay?

Zhang Jiuling conceited and talented, confidently replied, yes!

The satrap had already seen the peach blossom hidden in Zhang Jiuling's sleeve, and made a pair of couplets casually: Spring scenery was hidden in the sleeve of a white-flour scholar.

Zhang Jiuling opened his mouth and reached the bottom line: Huang Tang was knowledgeable.

The satrap was surprised. He didn't expect a seven-year-old child to blurt out his own couplet, and it was very good. In order to test Zhang Jiuling's talent, the satrap gave another pair to test Zhang Jiuling. The satrap said, "A lad, climb the dragon and phoenix."

Zhang Jiuling made use of the environment at that time and made the right decision: three giant buddhas, sitting on a lion, sitting on an elephant and sitting on a lotus.

After hearing this, the satrap repeatedly applauded and praised Zhang Jiuling for his cleverness. As agreed, he gave Zhang Jiuling several fruit offerings.

Zhang Jiuling went to play with the fruit offered by the satrap. A monk saw Zhang Jiuling holding a fruit offering and mistakenly thought that Zhang Jiuling's fruit offering was stolen, so he grabbed Zhang Jiuling and questioned him.

Tell Zhang Jiuling, the monk, that the fruit sacrifice was a pair he had seen with the satrap, and the satrap gave it to him. The monk didn't believe it, but Zhang Jiuling insisted on telling him what was right. Zhang Jiuling read the original couplet given by the satrap, and the monk asked Zhang Jiuling what it was. Seeing that the monk had wronged himself so much, Zhang Jiuling planned to play a trick on the monk, so he had a brainwave and said that his couplet was: The monk was running around the temple, stealing pigs, dogs and vegetables.

Hearing Zhang Jiuling's words, the monk turned red, white and blue. He thinks that all the monks in Baolin Temple are going to be killed by this child. What if the satrap really thinks they are all thieves? So I had to chase the satrap to explain.

Zhang Jiuling prodigy's name is not for nothing. You know, he was only seven years old. Now many people are still in grade two or three at the age of seven.
