(Open the "Zunyi" myth! ) Mysterious Zunyi: Legend of Phoenix Mountain (1) Xiangjiang River (2)

Ancient Zunyi:? A desert with no scenery.

Desert land, not a dime: Life without a trace, vegetation without a trace, no name? So there is the saying of "wild" passed down from generation to generation.

In ancient times, there was nothing but things and people. At the time of the "Heavenly Palace turmoil", the life of the immortal family was destroyed. Phoenix, the granddaughter of the Jade Emperor in the 140th generation, and Xiangjiang, his grandson, are still young. Because their parents were all suspected of participating in the "Tiangong turmoil", they were thrown into the dungeon and died. Phoenix and Xiangjiang were abandoned, nobody cared, and they wandered around begging for a living. However, the world is cold, the land is barren, the crops are not harvested, and the human feelings are weak. I am often humiliated by others and feel very miserable. Lonely little brothers and sisters hide aimlessly in Tibet, hoping to have a safe place without anyone.

After a night at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, I was exhausted, but I was surprised to find that the East was colorful. My brother and sister were so happy that Da Dan discussed it and went to that magical direction to find out. The next day, I packed my bags early, climbed mountains and waded, and slept in the wind. After 8 1 year, first frost has overcome numerous difficulties and obstacles and finally reached a mysterious land without mountains, water, justice and malice.

Although this place is "impartial and vicious", it has a vision: blue sky and white clouds, colorful; Tai Chi shines brilliantly. Heaven and earth are peaceful, and the sun and the moon are bright; It's so cloudy that it's hard to see clouds!

However, without mountains and water, only nebulae, how can people survive?

When the "Heavenly Palace Riot" happened, it had just been completely rehabilitated, and the Jade Emperor granted amnesty to the whole world. The parents of Phoenix and Xiangjiang River had been fortunate enough to get revenge. In the process of clearing up the unjust case, Taishang Laojun found that the 40th granddaughter Phoenix and grandson Xiangjiang under the jade emperor's name had disappeared. Then he rushed to fight the Jade Emperor, who was busy recruiting talents and sent immortals to the world to find his long-lost granddaughter Phoenix and grandson Xiangjiang River.

Immortals joined hands, and after several spring and autumn periods, they found an extraordinary place with bright sun, bright moon and purple clouds in the southwest of the ancient Oriental God Country. Although there are no mountains, no water, no prejudice, no evil and no names, it seems that there are still people moving here.

So I asked the Monkey King Daxian, a fiery Venus, to look a thousand miles away and come to the conclusion that there is indeed someone in that mysterious place. Wukong then walked in clouds and somersaults for 108,000 miles, and came to this mysterious place with Guanyin Bodhisattva.

After screening: the girl is about 14 or 15 years old, and she looks very marked-her face looks like the queen mother, especially her words and deeds, observing people's wisdom and beauty as beautiful as flowers and jade; The little boy is about twelve or thirteen years old and looks cute. Judging from the outline of his face, he looks like the Jade Emperor, especially his eyes, nose and ears. He looks extraordinary, energetic, tolerant and auspicious!

Guanyin Bodhisattva concluded that this was the Phoenix and Xiangjiang brothers who were forgotten by the immortals because of the "Tiangong turmoil". So, she wanted to take her two brothers and sisters back to the Heavenly Palace and the Jade Emperor in time, but they didn't want to go back anyway. Also said:? "If you die, you will die here" one by one "so that you will not be wronged again when you return to Heaven"! ……

The powerful Guanyin Bodhisattva is helpless! I had to ask the Tathagata Lord to invite all the immortals to get together and discuss: since Phoenix and Xiangjiang are unwilling to go back to the Heavenly Palace, we must ensure that the two brothers and sisters live a free, happy and safe life here, so please help the immortals! Here:? Make mountains and waters, call the wind and call the rain; In the four seasons, there are long clouds and snow; Give forests and flowers; Reduce wild animals and increase rare birds; Sow grain and plant fruits and vegetables; A thousand branches are taught, and a rich day ... what a wonderful time!

Without much effort, this mysterious place of "no mountains, no water, no bias and no evil" presents two very auspicious and beautiful scenery: 1. A beautiful mountain stands tall in the world, much like a phoenix bird, a mascot with wings flying; 2. At the foot of the Phoenix bird, there is a glittering jade belt, like a vigorous dragon, greeted with a naughty smile, closely accompanied by the Phoenix bird spreading its wings and flying!

Since then, Brother Xiangjiang has been playing in the water, and Sister Phoenix is very uncomfortable and willing to guard him on the mountain.

The Tathagata lured the immortal back to the Temple of Heaven to offer the jade emperor, and so on. The Jade Emperor was very happy. He wrote a letter to the whole world:

? To commemorate Cang's carriage, the Jade Emperor ordered:

? 1. Anyone who finds the blood of the king, the phoenix, the fairy of Xiangjiang River, has boundless merits-the 300th anniversary between heaven and earth!

2. There is a kingdom of God in the east of the world, especially in the southwest border. "No mountains, no water, no bias and no evil" is the most magical and lucky! Now that the civil works have been completed, the sex has changed, there are mountains and rivers, and there are many spiritual things. This treasure land was specially named according to the hereditary system of Tiangong. One is Phoenix Mountain and the other is Xiangjiang River. For my140th granddaughter Phoenix and my grandson Xiangjiang River, share happiness and love the world!

Three. ? Li Shimin, the son of heaven in the Tang Dynasty, and the left and right generals guarded him day and night, and made a fortune accordingly. He chose the right opportunity to set up a name and set up an agency to fight within a time limit!

This announcement shocked the whole world.

imperial edict

Jade Emperor Jade Seal (Seal)

Ancient days are auspicious, auspicious.

Emperor Taizong, the son of heaven and the people all over the world, prostrate themselves and obey orders, so excited! I was so grateful that I went to court overnight and urgently ordered the civil and military officials to discuss together: thoroughly investigate the issue of "naming and setting up offices" in the center where Phoenix Mountain and Xiangjiang River are located, and issued orders to the civil and military officials of Manchu Dynasty, such as enlightened signature and Kaya Hioki Office.

After three days, six nights and nine dates of intense discussion, it was finally shown to the world in Zhenguan 16 in the Tang Dynasty (AD 624):

Fengtian carrier, the emperor said

Thanks to the kindness of Emperor Yudi, he placed his name in the center of Phoenix Mountain and Xiangjiang River, which is a blessed place in the southwest of China in ancient times. According to the ancient saying "without bias or malice, according to Wang Zhiyi", it was named Zunyi, which was the official residence of Zunyi and was directly under the jurisdiction of Yelang, Shibu and other important places in ancient countries.

Notice at home and abroad? Salt makes people know.

Imperial Seal of Emperor Taizong (cover)

In the sixteenth year of Tang Zhenguan, January was auspicious.

At this point, Zunyi is famous all over the world: all dignitaries and politicians worship it, all nobles and merchants gather, and all sentient beings are happy! ? The existing "Tianshu" (4) poetry cloud proves: "Oriental shenzhou auspicious atmosphere, the southwest border is the most beautiful Zunyi. Impartial and vicious, the weather is myriad, and the auspicious star shines high on the red holy land. Outstanding people, unlimited scenery, mountains and water, beautiful scenery. Green water and green mountains have ten views at a time, and fertile land is fertile. Phoenix flies off Xiangjiang River, and pavilions and waterside pavilions are brightly lit. Ordinary people do everything they can, and dignitaries do everything they can. From ancient times to modern times, it runs through China and the West, and its cultural diversity is splendid. National unity, diligence and wisdom, too healthy and convenient, and Shunyi. Keep a low profile for a thousand years, be virtuous in the world, and advance with things! "

Attention:? ( 1) .? Zunyi is from Shang Shu Hong Fan: "Be impartial and do as Wang says." Refers to observing the morality of legalists. (2)(3) The name of a mountain and a river in the center of Zunyi today. (4).? There is no such book in the world, this is just "evidence" to support it!

Zunyi has been a fairy town since ancient times: there are countless myths and legends of ancient countries such as Yelang and Yinbu, but Zunyi is the only one! I invented this "myth" based on historical materials and some folk rumors. "Pioneering" is a proverb, aiming at attracting jade!
