Zhihu, Zhihu … Birds, Birds … Ding.

Tao Yuanming's Pursuit of the End of God;

Ding, a native of Liaodong, studied Taoism. After the crane returned to Liao, the city gate stood upright. Sometimes teenagers want to shoot with a bow. Crane flying, wandering in the air, saying:

There are birds, birds, and Ding, who have returned to their hometown for thousands of years. Castle is still the same as people, why not learn from the fairy tomb?

Ding has been shining in Liaodong for two thousand years.

According to records, Ding was a savage of Xiangpinghe in Liaodong in Han Dynasty, and was once a small sesame official. However, this person is incorruptible in politics, loves the people like a son, and is uncorrupted. After becoming an official, his greatest pleasure is raising cranes. During Ding's tenure, it coincided with flooding and people fleeing everywhere. Ding has written to Han Ting many times, hoping to open a warehouse to help the people. Wait and wait, and finally there is no news. Ding couldn't bear to see the people coming out of the quagmire, so he privately ordered to open the official warehouse to help the victims. At that time, opening an official warehouse privately was an unforgivable case.

When Ding was tied to the altar, he asked to see his crane again before the execution. The executioner sent someone to take one of his white cranes to the altar. The crane always spreads its wings and dances when it sees its master. However, at this moment, when the crane saw its master, it had tears in its eyes and kept singing in the air. Just then, I heard a crane buzzing in mid-air, and then another crane flew down in the air, the one that flew away three years ago. Two cranes meet again like long-lost friends, kissing each other's necks and chatting with each other. ...

At this time, the supervisor was impatient and ordered the knife and axe hand to cut. Passing 18-wheeler, I saw two cranes spread their wings and crossed together to form a flat cloud, and Ding unconsciously sat firmly on it. At the end of the brake, there was a strong wind in the courtyard, flying sand and stones, and it was dark. Before the executioner's knife fell, Ding flew away in two cranes. The crane took him to Xu Ling, the old Taipingfu (Dangtu), to study Taoism. ...

? Return of the Millennium Crane

The Li people felt the kindness of the upright official Ding, opened warehouses to help the people, and set up expensive watches in Ding's home. This China watch is engraved with seven striking Chinese characters: "Ding Hua Watch Mounted" as a souvenir.

A thousand years later, a snow-white crane flew to Xiangping and landed on the huabiao column in the east of the Drum Tower, staring at the vicissitudes of this ancient city for a long time. A teenager saw it and felt suspicious. He picked up a bow and arrow, ready to shoot the crane. At this time, the white crane flew over, hovering at low altitude, chanting in human language: "Ding has birds, birds." I've only been away from home for a thousand years. Battlements are like people. Why not learn from the immortal tomb? " Then, ascend to the sky.

It is said that Xianxian Bridge outside the east gate of Xiangping City, Huabiao Xiandui near Qicang and Huabiao Mountain 70 miles east of the city are all immortal traces left by Ding.

Ding in Tao Yuanming's works

Gan Bao, a famous historian in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, completed the highest achievement of China's strange novels: searching for the gods; Later, Tao Yuanming, a great pastoral poet, refused to bow for Wudoumi, and continued to write "The Postscript of Finding God", with ten volumes of nearly 120 legendary stories.

"Ding is a person, Liaodong people, learned from the spirit of Xushan. After the crane returned to Liao, the city gate stood upright. Sometimes teenagers want to shoot with a bow. The crane is flying and wandering in the air, saying, there is a bird, and there is a bird named Ding, who didn't come back until he went home for a thousand years. Castle is still the same as people, why not learn from the fairy tomb? Such a high sky. There is a fairy in Zhu Dingyun in Liaodong today, and I don't know its name. "

Du Fu chanted in "Building a Jujube, Jiangzhu Bridge with Sima Guan": "Cutting bamboo is the same as the bridge structure, and grooming does not involve communication. It's freezing, the white crane returns to the table, the sun sets, and the dragon sees the water ... "

Yu Xin wrote it? In the poem, "Taoist Feng Junda, immortal Ding, cooked Dan here, but refused to return".
