Before the Song Dynasty, "Wenchang" was only one of the three yuan and twenty-eight lodging houses. Although it symbolized literature, it was not the god of personality.

Although the imperial examination began in the Sui Dynasty, it was not until the Song Dynasty that it became the most important way for scholars to seek official positions. Therefore, in order to stand out from the fierce competition, students from all over the world not only study hard, but also pray for the help of immortals from all walks of life in their hometown.

Scholars believe that Zitong God was first popular in Zitong, northern Sichuan, and later merged with yu zhang, a loyal minister who died against Fu Jian in the Jin Dynasty. In the Northern Song Dynasty, it was transformed into a god who blessed Sichuan students to pass the exam smoothly. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Zitong God was considered to be more effective, replacing the gods of imperial examinations in other places, and became a god shared by students all over China to bless the smooth imperial examinations.

Due to the spread of belief, the original belief in Zitong God was mixed with wenchang star, who was in charge of literature in the traditional concept (or Zitong God was regarded as the reincarnation of wenchang star), and Zitong God was called Wenchang God, Wenchang Emperor or Wenchang Zitong Emperor.

Although some Confucian scholars constantly refer to Zitong's belief in God as "immorality", due to its efficacy and magical power, its belief in the hearts of Confucian scholars has a long history, covering all of China. Therefore, Taoism also listed it as one of the Taoist gods, respecting it as the "Wenchang Emperor" and was accepted as a proper sacrifice by the state in the Qing Dynasty.

First, looking for a prosperous position, the prosperous position of the house is to determine the prosperous position of the house according to the sitting direction of the house and the position of the nine planets. Wenchang is determined by the orientation of the house, such as the door facing west and the house sitting east facing west, which is the Earthquake Palace:

1. The earthquake house is located in the east, facing the west and northwest.

2. Xun Zhai sits in the southeast, facing northwest and facing south.

3. Sit away from the house, facing south, north and southeast.

4. Zhai Kun is located in the southwest, facing the northeast and facing the west.

5. Duizhai is located in the southwest facing west.

6. The dry house is located in the northwest, southeast and east.

7. Kanzhai is located in the northeast and faces south.

8. Genzhai is located in the northeast, southwest and north. Some people think Wenchang and Kuixing are the same star, while others think they are different. The Han people often confuse Wenquxing with wenchang star. In fact, in Taoist belief, wenchang star is the main scholar dressed as Zitong God, and Kuixing is the main ghost who kicks Kuixing Jun..

As for the astronomical map, "Wen Qu" is the ancient name of Tianquan, the fourth star of Beikui Dou (English name: Megrez δ, the 69th star of Ursa Major).

Kuixing refers to Dou Yun Pivot in the Spring and Autumn Period: "No.1 to No.4 in the Big Dipper" is the birthplace of Zhang Yazi, the emperor of Wenchang, and also the hometown of Zhang Yazi, with far-reaching influence and a long history. According to incomplete statistics, there are thousands of Wenchang palaces, attics and halls all over China, all over the mainland and Southeast Asia.

According to the records of Yuexi Pavilion, "Zhang Yazi was born at the age of 71 in the home of Zhang and his wife in Lu Lin ditch of Zhongsuo, and studied hard to become a god". I often ride-"Te" (Wenchang's mount, it is said to be "four unlike") to and from four places, giving lectures and traveling. There used to be scenic spots such as "Zifu Feixia Cave" and "Shangmashi" on Jinma Mountain in western Vietnam. The stone on the horse is engraved with the words "Wenchang Scenic Area". In addition, the inscription "Spring Moon" is said to be a book written by God. The emperor's resting place also has an inscription: "Golden Que incarnate" to keep the spring flowing and the moon bright.

In ancient times, an ancient tree grew on the cliff near Guanyin Spring, with flowers like peach blossoms, purples in spring and emerald green in autumn, covering the pool. People call this kind of tree "Snow Brawly". It is said that after the branches are broken, they bring out pulpy juice, which is very strange. There is also an inscription on the stone cliff of the tree, "The scenery is clear."

Zhang Yazi, the emperor of Wenchang, once left footprints on the stone he stepped on, which is said to be the imprint left by stepping on the stone. Zitong, another temple in Wenchang, also has many records about Zhang Yazi. As recorded in Wenchang Culture Book, Biography of Qinghe and Biography of Wenchang, Zhang Yazi was originally from Yuexi, born in the third day of February in the eighth year of Jin Taikang (287), and then moved to Zitong, where he taught and advised goodness for decades until his death. Therefore, Zitong became the second hometown of Zhang Yazi, a good scholar from western Vietnam.

Emperors of all dynasties respected Zhang Yazi, the emperor of Wenchang. Xuanzong Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty came to Sichuan to escape the Anshi Rebellion, and all the soldiers fell ill because of acclimatization. Tang Xuanzong was in a hurry. In the evening, I dreamed that Zhang Yazi had a prescription for treating diseases and cured the army. Xuanzong Xuanzong named Zhang Yazi as the "left prime minister" and "king of economic peace" and bowed down to Zhang Yazi with ten thousand percent respect. From then on, Zhang Yazi was worth a hundred times, and was respected by the world as the same as Confucius. Therefore, there is a saying that there is Confucius in the north and Wenchang in the south.

Later, the emperors of Song Dynasty named Zhang Yazi as "Wu Xiaode who is loyal to the monarch and gentle", "King of Great Britain" and "Wu Wensheng Xiaode who is loyal to the monarch and god".

In the Yuan Dynasty, Injong also named Zhang Yazi "Emperor Hongren of Fuyuan Hua Kai Wenchang Lu Si".

The Ming and Qing dynasties also greatly praised Wenchang. Scholars all over the world go to Wenchang Temple. And built a large number of Wenchang ancestral temples for grand sacrifices.

Taoism combined the star gods in the sky with Zhang Yazi, and named Zhang Yazi Wenchang Emperor, which belonged to wenchang star among the 28 Hostels. It is said that Zhang Yazi is a master of "moire" and "private school". The era when Taoism and Zhang Yazi became one should be the Song Dynasty. At that time, Taoism was large-scale, and people respected God and despised Buddha. Later generations also overlapped the snake god, dragon god and Wenchang emperor, making Wenchang emperor a god who influenced the whole country and was in charge of human destiny.

In history, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism worshipped Zhang Yazi very much, and wrote a lot of works in the name of Emperor Wenchang. According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 80 works and hundreds of kinds. Many of these classics are poems that persuade people to be kind and eager to learn.

On the right side of the Confucian Temple in western Vietnam, there used to be Wenchang Palace. In Jinma Mountain, the hometown of Wenchang Emperor, Zitong Palace was once dedicated to Zhang Yazi, Wenchang Emperor. Whether there is a mystery between Zitong Palace in western Vietnam and Zitong County in Mianyang remains to be verified.

On the day of worshipping Wenchang in western Vietnam, there are three sacrifices a year, spring and autumn sacrifices, to welcome God. The date of meeting the gods is from the 12th to 18th of the first month, and the first and second days are the day of meeting the gods and sending them away. The Spring Festival is an important festival for Emperor Wenchang. Every February 3rd, which is said to be Zhang Yazi's birthday, usually holds an official ceremony. Mid-Autumn Festival is held on August 1st every year. According to legend, it was the day when Wenchang became a positive fruit.

According to local elders, Wenchang Palace, Zitong Palace, is a magnificent building with a long history. In front of the palace, three ancient poplars stand. The trunk is very hard. It takes three people to hug each other to cross, and the branches are winding and graceful. The palace gate enters the Kuixing Building and passes through the tunnel. There are three halls on the winding stairs, which are resplendent and magnificent. The carved panes on the temple doors are exquisite and luxurious. In the center of the main hall is a gilded statue of Emperor Wenchang, and on both sides of the emperor are statues of "deaf in heaven" and "dumb in earth". There is a hole on the top of Zitong Palace called Zitong Feixia Cave. According to the records of Yuexi Pavilion: "It was opened by Dog Wood and Son in Song Dynasty." It is the place where Emperor Wenchang practiced. In addition, Wen Zu Temple and Kannonji in Yuexi City are related to Zhang Yazi, the emperor of Wenchang. This is because Emperor Wenchang is the natural enemy of the plague by doing good deeds and accumulating virtues, applying drugs and benefiting the people.
