You may not have heard of this temple, but its origin is related to the legend of a treasure pot. Are you very interested?Is there really a treasure pot in the world?The compassion and kindness of the public is a treasure pot!Just like Jigong who punishes evil and promotes good, the little monk Jueshan is a representative of integrity and kindness, and is the superior cause for the establishment of Wansong Temple.
Wansong Temple is located in the north of Panshan, 12 kilometers northwest of Jixian City, Tianjin.According to legend, it was built by Li Jing (571-649), a military strategist in the early Tang Dynasty, and was originally called Li Jing'an.The ruins of the current temple contain the Taiping Zen Master Pagoda built during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty and the Puzhao Monk Pagoda built during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty;There are Li Jing’s sword dance platform and Li Congjian’s inscriptions on the west sword dance peak of the temple.There is also a folk legend about the origin of Wansong Temple
Wansong Temple was formerly called Li Jing'an, and it is located on the hillside north of Panshan.There is a bare mountain behind the temple called the Kuangren Ridge.In the huge Panshan area, except for the bald mountain of Kuairen Ridge, which belongs to the people, the other places are full of fat and charcoal-black places.Everyone said that the most evil person on the ridge is the jackal, and the most evil person under the ridge is the rich man Kuai.
The rich man in Kuai’s family has a 16-year-old long-term worker named Heiwa, who is born with a miserable life.Two years ago, the local disaster occurred, and the Heiwa family borrowed two dou of sorghum from the rich man Kuai. Unexpectedly, in a few years, it rose to 2 stones and 5.Heiwa's family couldn't afford to pay it back, so Heiwa had to work on the work of the rich man Kuai.
One day in early summer this year, rich man Kuai was full and drunk, leaning on the rocking chair to pick his teeth, and the bad water in his stomach churned again: The poor boy named Heiwa was about to owe him to expire, so I couldn't let him leave like this cheaply.The rich man Kuai's eyes rolled, and walked to the side of the horse sanctuary with his belly, and said sarcastically to Heiwa who was adding materials to the horse: Heiwa, how are your boss treating you in the past two years?Heiwa knew that the rich man Kuai had no good idea, so he kept his head at work and refused to speak.
The rich man Kuai was bored, so he turned around the black donkey like a mill, laughing dryly and said: I really didn't realize it, you little lamb is a little stubborn.To be honest, it is easy to get in and out of my compound.Within ten days, you have to cut 10,000 kilograms of grass for me, and you are not allowed to cut it on my mountain.Otherwise, hehe, I’m afraid the door won’t be able to go out.
When Heiwa heard the seven orifices, he thought that the heart of the rich man Kuai is really more poisonous than that of a poisonous snake!But how can you not bow your head under a person's roof?The next day, Heiwa came to Poor Ridge with a basket and a sickle in his hand, and was frowning and whispering to cut and draft.From early to sunset, he grinds blood blisters on his hands, and only cuts less than 200 kilograms.Seeing the red sun setting, Heiwa looked at the grass in the basket, remembered the ten-day deadline, his poor life experience, and when he thought of his sadness, he couldn't help but cry.
The crying alarmed a young monk named Jueshan. He saw a boy of his age sitting by the road, wearing patched clothes, and knew that he was a child from a poor family. He ran over and asked with concern: Good brother, why are you crying so sadly? It's better to say it.
Heiwa looked at Jueshan and stopped crying and asked hesitantly: What's your name?How to wear this outfit?
My name is Jueshan. I became a monk because my family is poor. I live in Li Jing'an in front of the ridge.Good brother, stop crying, I will help you if there is any difficulties.Heiwa's tears flowed down again. He cried and told him about his life experience and how the rich man Kuai squeezed people and limited him to cut 10,000 kilograms within ten days.
Jueshan was also very angry after hearing this, and grabbed Heiwa's hand and said: Good brother, let's mow the grass together from tomorrow, okay?I will definitely help you escape from the rich man's wolf den as soon as possible.Heiwa nodded gratefully.
The next day, just dawn, Jueshan got up and finished his morning class, finished his work, then said hello to the master, carried a basket, carried a sickle, and jumped all the way to the Poor Ridge.Heiwa was waiting in the ridge for a long time. As soon as the two brothers met, they walked into Xiaoshanwa with their hands in hand and found a place with a plump grass to cut it.In the evening, they put the cut grass into a basket and weighed it, and said that it was at least several hundred kilograms.The two brothers were very happy and made an appointment to come back tomorrow with a smile.
The next day, Jueshan and Heiwa discussed it was time to change the place.When they passed by the small hill that was mowed yesterday, they were surprised to find that the sink was covered with green grass again, and it was even more lush.The two brothers felt indescribable joy. They waved their sickles and slapped them into pieces for a day, and they harvested at least a thousand pounds.
This has been the case for several days in a row. Every time Jueshan and Heiwa cut clean, they will always grow more green grass the next day.Jueshan was clever and asked Heiwa with confusion: Good brother, I always think this is not right. You said that the grass we just cut the day before grew new ones the next day. What's going on?
Heiwa bit his lip hard, lowered his head and thought for a long time before he thoughtfully said: Brother Jueshan, I can't explain this. But I once heard from the older generation in the village that there was a treasure pot buried in the mountain. That thing was very magical. As long as you put any object in the basin, it would turn into ten thousand of the same objects overnight. I don't know us.
Jueshan was so excited that he almost jumped up and punched Heiwa in the chest: That’s great!Why didn’t you say earlier that if the poor can get this treasure, they will never be bullied by the rich again.Come on, let's dig.
The two brothers came to find a pickaxe and shovel, and I could dig it hard one after another.When he was digging three feet underground, Jueshan's pickaxe suddenly clanged and encountered a hard thing.He hurriedly leaned down and used his hand to open the soil layer and saw that there was a yellow copper basin underneath.Heiwa also ran over when he heard the sound. The two of them carefully took out the copper basin and wiped the soil on it. Two lines of small words were exposed at the bottom of the basin: If you want the treasure pot to open, you must feel the mountain.
He was better off, and he pushed the copper basin into Heiwa's arms and said: Your family is poor and needs this thing more than me, please take it!
Heiwa said embarrassedly: How can this work? The copper basin was discovered by you and should belong to you.
The two of them humbled me for a long time, and no one was willing to take away the copper basin.Finally, Jueshan said: Let’s bury the copper pot on the ridge and plant a small pine tree on it.How great it would be if ten thousand pine trees could really grow tomorrow and turn the Poor Ridge into Wansong Ridge!Heiwa agreed.The two brothers buried the copper basin back to their original place, dug up a straight pine tree and planted it on it, leveling the soil, and leaving with confidence.
That night, Jueshan lay on the bed toss and turns, feeling anxious and unable to sleep.When the fish belly appeared on the sky, Jueshan really wanted to know if there were any pine trees growing on the treasure pot, so he put on his shoes and walked out of the temple gate with his hands and walked towards the Poor Ridge.He came to the small hill where the copper basin was buried. Looking through the faint morning light, he saw that the Poor Ridge was still the Poor Ridge, and the little pine trees were still standing alone.Jueshan was very disappointed and asked himself secretly: Didn’t we dig a treasure pot?
When I was upset, I suddenly heard a rustling sound not far away. Several black shadows flashed in the haze. Jueshan hid behind a rock alertly. He looked closely and saw that there were a few people on the hillside climbing up. The leader was a fat guy with big ears, followed by a few shovels and picks carrying picks. He was so aggressive that he was definitely not a good person.
Jueshan's heart suddenly tightened: These rich people got up early in the morning at the Poor Ridge, and there must be ghosts inside. Could it be that they discovered the secret of the treasure pot?It turned out that the person who went up the mountain was Kuai Caizhu and his group.If you say that the rich man has more mind than sieve eyes, he deliberately made things difficult for Black Frog a few days ago and kept secretly paying attention to Heiwa's actions, just waiting for the deadline to come, and then find an excuse to extend the work time.Unexpectedly, God was not doing good, and Heiwa cut more and more grass, which made him so anxious that he blinked his eyes with a pair of meat.Yesterday, he secretly followed Heiwa to Poor Ridge, and saw the mystery, and immediately had a golden dream.The next day, before dawn was dawn, I took a few dog legs to the mountain to dig for treasures.
Jueshan was behind the rock and watched the rich man come straight to the small hill. He knew that things had changed, and thought that even if I died here, I couldn't let the rich man take away the treasure pot.He stepped into the mountain depressed area a few steps, protected the small pine tree planted on the treasure pot, and said anxiously: The treasure pot will appear soon, and the mountains will appear in poverty.The rich man is full of pine trees, and the rich man dies and the people are happy.I was sincere and saw that the little pine tree grew rapidly, and as the pine branches fell to the ground, it immediately turned into countless small saplings, and the small saplings grew into big pine trees in an instant.In the blink of an eye, thousands of pine trees were like a green wave, with pine waves and green shade.
Jueshan was so happy that he slapped his hands and ran down the ridge and shouted: Come and see, the poor man's ridge has become Wansong Ridge
At this moment, the sky is bright, and a red sun rises slowly in the east.The poor villagers ran out of their homes and looked up at the green mountain of poor people, and were filled with tears in their eyes.Suddenly someone in the crowd shouted: No, the rich man Kuai brought people here.After a while, the rich man Kuai Qian was shaking his fat body, falling down from the mountain with panting, and shouting in anger;You all listen, from now on, the Poor Ridge is the Ridge of my Kuai family, and no one is allowed to go up the mountain to chop firewood and mow grass.
Jueshan's heart ignited an unknown anger and shouted to the villagers: Don't listen to the rich man. The poor man's ridge is the poor man's ridge. It's a delusion to dare to occupy it.
Yes, whoever wants to occupy the Poor Ridge, let’s fight with him.The angry people shouted, shouting like thunder.
The rich man Kuai wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, pointed at Jueshan at the top of his lungs and said: What a little monk, how dare you encourage the poor to rebel and tie them up for me.A few dog legs are about to open their teeth and claws.
How could the villagers allow the rich man Kuai to be so arrogant? They surrounded him and protected Jueshan and pressed the rich man Kuai step by step.The rich man Kuai was frightened and tried to step back. He stepped on the empty foot and hit his head on a big rock. Blood surged, rolled his eyes and shouted his life.Seeing that something was wrong, the dogs lifted up the body of the rich man Kuai and left in shame.
The villagers cheered and celebrated this proud day.To thank Jueshan for turning the Kuangren Ridge into Wansong Ridge, everyone raised money to expand Li Jing'an into a large-scale temple, named Wansong Mosque.The Kuangren Ridge behind the temple was also renamed Wansong Ridge, and has been used to this day.
