#这么近 so beautiful to Hebei on the weekend ##多彩旅行 travel in Hebei#
There is a folk song in Zhengding County: "The big Buddha temple inside the east gate, the official hall outside the east gate, the Yanghe building inside the south gate, the wheat rice pavilion outside the south gate, the stone rooster inside the west gate, the mass grave outside the west gate, the Hanxin cave inside the north gate, and the stone blue outside the north gate." ”
The Big Buddha Temple inside the East Gate: refers to the Longxing Temple, which has a statue of Guanyin with a thousand hands and a thousand eyes that is seven feet and three feet high. Legend has it that Zhao Kuangyin passed by Zhengding when he was not sitting as emperor. He once gathered local monks and asked if there were any major monasteries. At that time, the Big Buddha Temple was not in the east gate, but in the northwest of the city three miles away, the old abbot of this temple was named Ke Yu, the chest Tibetan literature was tenacious and martial, and the wisdom was outstanding. When he saw Zhao Kuangyin asking about the situation of the temple, he told Zhao Kuangyin about Chai Rong's destruction of the bronze Buddha in the temple. Zhao Kuangyin and Chai Rong are friends of Jinlan, and after hearing this, he said to Ke Yan: "Since it was my eldest brother who destroyed your seven-foot-three-inch golden Buddha, I want to get the throne, and I will definitely return your seven-foot and three-foot golden body." After saying that, he immediately asked someone to choose the place in the east gate. Later, Zhao Kuangyin quickly agreed. So in the east gate built the Great Compassion Pavilion, cast a thousand hands and a thousand eyes Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Outside the east gate, the official hall: Zhengding City has always been a county, a state, a government, and a county office, and all officials who come from the capital to take office pass through Zhengding, and must enter the city from the east gate to worship officials. Because the east gate is called Jiamen, a small reception hall was built outside the east gate. All officials who have taken up or left their posts and passed through to Beijing will hold a welcoming and send-off ceremony at the reception hall.
Yang and Lou inside the south gate: Yang and Lou are strange and unique, its lower floor is as tall as the city wall, and there are two gates like the gate hole below, and the top is the grand and magnificent hall. What's even more amazing is that there is a large ingot under each wooden rafter in this hall. Legend has it that after the completion of Yanghe Building, the silver taels allocated by Emperor Tang Ming had not been used up, and Emperor Tang Ming ordered that the remaining silver taels be cast into large ingots and pressed under each wooden rafter. At that time, the literati and writers came to Zhending Mansion to go to Yanghelou to climb high and look at it, and write poems and inscriptions. Now the stone plaque of the word "Rong Knee" that exists in the Big Buddha Temple is written by Zhu Xi of the Southern Song Dynasty, and it was originally inlaid with a block on the Yanghe Building.
Maifan Pavilion outside the South Gate: Liu Xiu fled to the Hutuo River, and fled to the river embankment so hungry that he couldn't walk at all. I met an old woman who delivered rice and asked for a bowl of rice, which was fragrant and sweet, and it was simply hard to find rice in the world. Later, Liu Xiu became the emperor and ate delicacies from the mountains and seas every day, and he was a little tired of fish, shrimp, chickens and ducks. One day, he suddenly remembered the bowl of rice he had eaten in Zhending Mansion, so he ordered the imperial chef to make it, but he didn't know what the name was, only that the rice was round and flat, and there were ditches. The imperial dining room couldn't be done, so he sent someone to Zhending to visit and consulted the old woman who gave up the rice back then. It turned out that the rice he was cooking was wheat kernel rice made from barley milled into kernels in that area. In order to commemorate this event, Liu Xiu sent someone to build a pavilion in the place where he gave up his rice, and named it "Maifan Pavilion".
Stone rooster crows inside the west gate: There is a place on the city wall on the east side of the west gate urn city, whether it is a large or small vehicle passing through or knocking on the wall with bricks and stones, the city wall will make a "chirping" sound, and there is a treasure hidden in it - a stone chicken, some say it is a golden rooster.
Mass grave outside the West Gate: In the past, when you went out of the West Gate and turned south, at the root of the city wall was the place where the prisoners were beheaded. The prisoner was beheaded and buried on the spot. Hence the name "mass grave". Zhengding people are the most taboo and say: "You should go out of the West Gate soon!" I think this sentence is the most unlucky.
Han Xin Cave inside the North Gate: Under the root of the Weng Circle and the North City Wall of the Great North Gate, there is a very deep round hole, which is given by the folk the legend that Han Xin soldiers had skillfully deployed people and horses here to scare off the enemy army. said that Han Xin had not yet become a marshal at that time, but was just a partial general, leading a small number of soldiers and horses to defend Zhending. Once, the enemy army wanted to capture Zhending, but they did not know the reality of the soldiers and horses in the city. Han Xin came up with a clever plan, and dug this soil hole at the root of the north city and led to the outside of the city. He ordered the soldiers to fill the walls with military flags and ordered a small number of soldiers to patrol the city to and fro. And he organized the other soldiers and horses into several groups and went out of the city from the cave in the ground, and so on and forth. The enemy thought that it was heavily guarded, and did not dare to underestimate the enemy, so he obediently slipped away.
Stone blue is a natural mineral with the scientific name alkaline copper sulfate. It is said to be a valuable herb that can be used to treat emergencies after taking poison. In the past, if you swallowed too much smoke, you would be poisoned and die. And the herb of stone blue is used to treat this kind of emergency. In the past, there was a towering big sand hill and a big sand lump in the west and north of the village outside the north gate of the north gate, with an area of 100 acres, and it was covered with tribulus terrestris. In the early years, a child who used to herd sheep there once picked up a blue-green thing that looked like a stone and was softer than a stone, and he thought it was amuseful and brought it home, but no one in the family knew what it was. happened to be seen by an old Chinese medicine doctor. The old gentleman took out his glasses from his arms, took a closer look, and said happily: "This is Shi Qing, a precious medicinal herb, specializing in the treatment of diseases that cause death by poisoning." "After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the sand gangs and sand lumps outside the north gate gradually leveled into cultivated land, but there were still people who found Shi Qing there.
