Gu shan fortune-telling

Meteorite pile in Luoxing village, south of the city.

In the north of Nanluoxing Village, Gangcheng Town, Ningyang County, there is a pile of "strange stones" composed of dozens of huge stones. The quality and appearance of stones are quite different from those of Fiona Fang Bailey. The interior is reddish brown, and the surface is mottled with yellow and black. It is covered with "horseshoe prints" and is called "Star Mountain" by local villagers.

According to the local people, in ancient times, two stars were at odds, and when they quarreled, they started fighting. They collided and fell to this point. One fell to the south as a "southern meteorite" and the other fell to the north as a "northern jumping star", hence the names of many surrounding villages. According to Zuo's Spring and Autumn Annals, in the summer of the seventh year of Duke Zhuang of Lu (687 BC), "the stars fell like rain and participated in the rain." Described the scene of Yucheng meteorite falling. After textual research, this meteorite is a rare stone-iron meteorite. After the meteorite was reported by many media, tourists from all over the country and around the world came in an endless stream, attracted by the strong local meteorite culture, and marveled at the strange shape and quality of the meteorite. Because there is a local saying, "Touch the meteorite head (the protrusion in the east), what do you want?" The ballad of sleeping with gold and silver on the back of a meteorite is also treasured by tourists as a mascot.

Children play with lanterns.

In the south of Ningjiazhuang Village in Shentong Mountain Scenic Area, there is an independent hill named "Guxian Mountain", which blocks the south of Ningjiazhuang Village like a gate and shelters the villagers of Ningjiazhuang. Because of this special geographical location, the villagers worship this mountain very much, which is also called Nangu Mountain. Before the Ming Dynasty, the villagers built Kuixing Pavilion on this mountain. Later, Ningjiazhuang became really famous. During the reign of Shunzhi in Qing Dynasty, Jin Bang Jinshi Taizai Taifu and Shaanxi Buzheng Ning Zhifeng were both from Ningjiazhuang. In Ningjiazhuang, there is a legendary story about the wind of Ning, which is known to all women and children and passed down from mouth to mouth. The story takes place in Nangu Mountain.

During the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, there were two scholars in Ningjiazhuang, both teenagers, who went to school together every day. Although they are young, they are all brave. Because both families are not rich and can't afford lamp oil, they come to Kuixingge together after school every day, study hard in front of the idol, and come back until late at night every time. Although the ancient fairy mountain is not high, it is steep. Only a narrow mountain road less than one meter leads to the top of the mountain. In order to prevent falling, the two of them carefully went down the mountain in tandem.

One night, as dark as ink, they went to Kuixingge to study as usual. In the dead of night, they got up and went home. They slowly descended the hill by feeling the stones. The old scholar said, "It's all because our family is poor. If we had money at home, we wouldn't have to suffer so much and take this risk. Besides, we don't know whether we can be admitted to Jinshi. " Ning Zhifeng said: "In ancient times, there was a way to steal the light from the wall. Moreover, we won fame, not just to hold our heads high, but to worry about the world first, to enjoy the world in the middle of the mountain in Rainbow, and to benefit the people. " Just after Feng Ning finished, a light suddenly appeared in front of him. On closer inspection, it turned out to be a lantern, but no one was playing it. Man walks with the lamp and stops with it. To their surprise, the road in front of Ning Feng is clear. It was cold and they were hungry. Without much consideration, they followed them to the village. They went home separately. Ning Zhifeng lives in the east of the village, and lanterns follow him all the way to the door. As soon as the wind got home, the lights disappeared. It was like this for several nights in a row. Both of them think there is a mystery in it, and the agreement is so much.

Another night, after reading the book, the two met to go home. Because the road was slippery in the dark, the man accidentally fell down and couldn't help complaining: "We went to study in the mountains together. Why do lanterns only lead him, not me? " The firelight in front replied, "You don't have to complain. I am a child of Quexingge. I am the champion of Kuixing. I was asked to light lanterns for the political envoy. Although Ning Zhifeng is a classmate of yours, he is open-minded and ambitious, and he will have a bright future. You are just an individual and won't do much. " The scholar almost didn't grieve at this.

Later, both of them went to catch the exam. As a result, the scholar only took the test of scholar, but Ning Zhifeng was a scholar in the gold medal list and was promoted to Taizai Taifu and Shaanxi Buzheng. This story was told by a scholar who studied with Ning Zhifeng, and people were all amazed. After becoming an official, Ning Zhifeng really cared about the sufferings of the people, indifferent to fame and fortune, thinking about poor countries everywhere, resigned when he was old, and benefited his hometown. He was 78 years old. So far, Ningjiazhuang and its surrounding areas are proud of the wind of peace, and use this story to educate future generations and become a vivid teaching material for inspirational learning.

The legend of the sun stone

Longmazhai Scenic Area is located in Beiyang Village, Geshi Town. Longmazhai has Zhenwu Temple, Mountain Temple, Racecourse and many other historical sites. In Beiyang village, the story of Erlang God riding up the mountain to catch the sun has a long history. Now there are still legendary scenic spots such as Erlang Pool, Sunstone and Erlang Chair on the mountain. When you come to the mountain, strange stones can be seen everywhere. People should admire not only human imagination, but also the divine power of nature.

According to legend, when Pangu opened heaven and earth, ten suns spewed out of the ground, crops were burned, rivers dried up, the whole world was hotter than a steamer, and people were in danger. People are suffering, and they spread the news to heaven. The Jade Emperor was helpless, and all the immortals were in a daze. So the Jade Emperor posted a notice in the Heavenly Palace, saying that whoever can conquer the ten suns will be promoted to the third level and rewarded with countless silver. Nevertheless, the gods dare not reveal the list. Yang Jian, Erlang God, is young and promising, full of blood and boundless strength. He is big enough to lift several mountains and has the ability to change seventy-three. He has a pair of flying tiger shoes, which can travel thousands of miles every day, and is also the national prestige of the royal family in Tiangong. With these conditions, Jiro thought, why don't I go up the mountain and put the sun at the foot of the mountain to make contributions to the interests of the people?

So Jiro found Asanmu bamboo poles and picked ten mountains from west to east to catch the sun, one to catch one, and the other to press one. When we arrive at Longmazhai, there is the sun in the east. He felt tired and thirsty. It happened that there was a spring pool beside him. He held the water in the pool in his hand and lifted it seven times. The spring water is sweet and refreshing. Later, people called this pool. After drinking water, Erlang God sat down to have a rest. He sat on a boulder and saw a stone in front of him. The shape of this stone is unique, as if the sun is rising. Erlang is dizzy, and he doesn't like Sun very much. He wrote "Sun" on the stone and said, "I want you to run again". In fact, this is an illusion of Erlang God. Since then, two stone tendons have been left on this stone, which dare not stand out in sunny days. Only after the rain will the word "sun" appear. It is said that they are afraid of Erlang God. Now as long as you pour some water on the stone, the word "sun" will appear in an instant, and people are all amazed. They call it "the sun stone", which is the real nature. Erlang God had a rest, but the stone where Erlang God sat was also crushed into a cave by him. Sitting alone in a cave, like a stool. People call the stool where he sits Erlang chair.

Later, Erlang God came to the Bohai Sea with two mountains on his shoulders, just in time to catch up with his escaped grandson. He immediately aimed at the sun and put down the mountain. The clever Sun rolled on the ground and rolled into the Bohai Sea again, which made Erlang God close his eyes again. As a result, the sun didn't last, and the mountain fell into the sea and became the island now.

People admire Jiro's courage and use his spiritual education to inspire future generations. His footprint has also become a well-known story, and the myth of Jiro going up the mountain to catch the sun is widely circulated.

Shuanglongchi legend

Shuanglongtan is a scenic spot near Kannonji in Shentongshan Scenic Area. Surrounded by green trees, the stream is cheerful and the fish is fragrant. In the meantime, red hawthorn, red dates and yellow pears hang all over the pool, which has a unique flavor. The magic of this water and this pool will never be forgotten.

According to legend, a long time ago, Kannonji was very famous. The god in the temple is that there are two bugs in it. Hundreds of villagers around here, celebrating weddings, funerals and prayers, all came here to burn incense and kowtow, and everything turned out as expected. In this way, Shen An's prestige is higher and higher. When local and surrounding court officials come here, they often burn incense and eat in sedan chairs and ask the gods for help.

One summer, it didn't rain for a long time. The weather was as hot as a steamer, the ground was cracked, and the crops were so dry that they burned at the sight of fire. People look at the dazzling sky and look forward to rain.

One day, an old fortune teller who was familiar with Daoism came to Shentong Mountain by boat. When he passed by Kannonji, he saw more than 2,000 people kneeling in front of the temple, beating gongs and drums, burning incense and kowtowing, earnestly begging for rain.

"God, please rain and save us refugees!" "God, pity, it's going to rain, help the children!" The people shouted in unison and raised prayers in front of the temple.

When the fortune teller saw this, he felt very sad. Seeing that no one was paying attention, he slipped into the temple quietly. He first worshipped the center of the temple, and then looked around the temple. He saw an altar in the temple, which was filled with food, lighted with wax and filled with incense. He looked carefully, and there was a beautifully decorated glass box above the altar. A closer look shows that there are two silver and cyan Gamba bugs in the box. The old fortune teller wants to know: Why are there two bugs in the box? This bug is still different, unless there is some mystery. He looked at the glass box again, realized the mystery, remembered that so many people outside buddhist nun were begging for rain, and decided to help them with magic. Just as he went all out, he heard the sound of gongs and drums and sad prayers outside the temple. So he immediately closed his eyes and read the spell. With the sound of the spell, I saw two Gamba worms in the box wake up slowly and drive over. Seeing that the spell was very effective, he read it again. The two bugs grew from small to large, read it again and again, and read it big. Two worms turned into two silver-blue dragons, and "whoosh, whoosh" went out of the temple and took off. I saw two silver-blue dragons shaking their heads and tails in the air. Soon, the sky was covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and heavy rain poured down.

Two dragons rained heavily in the air, nourishing flowers, trees and crops. Hui Ze saved the people. However, this brought trouble to the two dragons. It turns out that these two dragons are the children of the East China Sea Dragon King, one silver and one green. While the Dragon King was away, they sneaked out and made trouble outside, which angered the Jade Emperor and trapped him in Kannonji, Shentong Mountain. Unexpectedly, after so many years, the fortune teller saw through it, activated the dragon body with magic, restored his instinct, and it rained cats and dogs in the air. The Jade Emperor soon learned about this matter, so he was furious and arranged a special envoy to use magic when it rained in the sky of the Silver Blue Ssangyong, and forced the Silver Blue Ssangyong to Shentong Mountain. All the people outside Kannonji looked at the silver-green Ssangyong, pouring rain, kowtowing in amazement, and then kowtowing. Unable to resist the pressure, Yin Qing Ssangyong struggled and was forced to sink to a hill near Kannonji. Only heard two loud noises, Yin Qing Shuanglong became two hills. After Yin Qing Shuanglong became a mountain, it did not forget to spit out a lot of rain. The rain rushed out of a mountain stream and continued to flow downwards, turning into a big pool in the southeast below Kannonji. The water in the pool keeps rising, and the water overflows the surrounding rocks and flows to the ravine in the west.

In order to commemorate the silver-green Shuanglong, the two mountains were named Yinlong Mountain and Qinglong Mountain respectively, and the pool was named Shuanglong Pool. The water in Shuanglongchi flows all the year round, which breeds an ecological environment, brings vitality to the local people and adds magical colors to Shentong Mountain.

Solve the mystery of steel city

From ancient times to the present, there are many legends about Steel City in Ningyang County, Shandong Province. The word "port city" has been circulated for thousands of years, but legends are the shadows of history, historic sites are historical fossils, and the remaining port city sites are loaded with ancient humanistic information, which needs to be deciphered by future generations.

History is like a car, carrying the sun, moon and stars on this land, carrying the vicissitudes of life here, walking slowly and heavily, and the mystery of the city has not yet been solved.

In the history of the city, it was a place where businessmen gathered. People flow, logistics and information flow, and the market is prosperous. Businessmen from all over the world use the Dawen River to do business. Year after year, it is thriving and thriving. Historical celebrities have written poems about this city: the south wind blows, peaches and apricots bloom, dusk falls on June, and spring falls on March 3. The farmer repairs the old, but the weaver sees the new silkworm. It is enough to prove that the city is rich in products and smooth in information, and it is an extremely important place for commercial circulation. It also proves that it has a unique absorption capacity.

The port city is named after the port city. The port city is the ruins of the old city of Yi Gang. In the north of Gangcheng, Dawen River and Mianhe River cross each other, and in the southwest, Xuebu Mountain (now Zhang) is nearby. In the west, there is Gangcheng Dam, a famous water conservancy project in Yuan Dynasty, which is located in the west of Gangcheng Village. Now it is the residence of Gangzhen government.

The word "Wan" in Wancheng is different from others. In China, the word "Wan" is only used for place names, and the word "Wan" is pronounced as "Gang", which is homophonic with "Gang" and "Gang". Throughout the ages, people in all cities have known the word "gang", but no one can explain the origin of the name "gang", and foreigners, even those with diplomas and academic qualifications, don't know it. Therefore, sometimes in letters, telephone calls and online, the word "gang" is written as "dike" or "gang". Nowadays, with the reputation of "steel balls are everywhere in the city" and the rapid development of urban economy, people at home and abroad gradually have a general understanding of the word "Wan" in the city, and they also have some understanding of the word "Wan", which is often removed from local words. Some simply wrote "Gang", "Gang" and "Gang" and inadvertently restored the historical name, but these are different from the current meaning of the word "Gang", which proves the difference of the word "Gang"; At the same time, it is enough to show that the word "Gang" only belongs to this place, so that the definition of the word "Gang" in dictionaries has always only listed the dam or place name of Gang City, that is, the place name of Gang City, in Ningyang County, Shandong Province. This is the historical mystery of this city.
