Jingshan: A Lesson of Folklore and Historical Truth

Business News Investigation of Daughter River and Xiaoling River (18)

After interviewing the story of the confrontation between the Thousand Buddha Cave and Cheng Zishan, Yin Changqing, the guide, took the reporting team all the way to the west to explore the nearby Shijindong, because many villagers said that this Shijindong was very magical, but on the way to Shijindong, the reporting team came across the same magical Jingshan and heard many legends about Jingshan, which was an unexpected gain for the reporting team.

Legend of Jingshan first edition

On the way to Shijindong, the reporting team saw a very strange mountain, which was different from other nearby mountains. Yin Changqing said that this mountain is called Jingshan. So is there a legend about this mountain? The reporting team wants to ask the villagers nearby. In Tangzhangzi Village, the reporting group happened to see many old people playing chess under the walnut tree on the roadside. Ask the old people here. Facing the reporter's question, the old man Chang Zhongchun seemed very interested, gave up playing chess and began to introduce what he knew about the legend of Jingshan to reporters. It is said that a cliff of this mountain is very flat, just like a big mirror. Legend has it that there were two big worms on the mountain before, standing on both sides of the mirror If the villagers hear the sound of "whoops", it will rain in two days, which became people's weather forecast at that time and was said to be very accurate. On the west side of this mirror-like cliff, there is a gap in the mountain and a horse path. It is said that during the Japanese occupation period, the Japanese army rode over mountains and mountains, which was the only way to enter the mountains. But now the horse path is not used all the year round, washed away by the rain, and the road becomes steep, making it impossible to ride. It is said that there is a well on the top of the mountain. In the past, this big mirror could look at people and people. The old man didn't say much, and the report team was going to ask other villagers again, and others didn't say anything comprehensive. In front of and behind the house in this village, the report team saw many walnut trees, and it is estimated that this village produces walnuts. It is said that it is difficult to get into the Shijindong. In order to save energy, the reporting team did not climb Jingshan.

Legend of Jingshan Second Edition

After leaving Tangzhangzi Village, the reporting team continued to drive westward and saw a strange hill on the right in the distance. Next to the hill is a dry river bed. The most attractive thing for the reporting group is that the hill is red, which is very conspicuous among the red clay rarely seen in the north. At this time, the reporting group happened to see an old man herding cattle on the roadside. The reporting group got off the bus and asked the old man, why is the hill red? The old man thought about it, but he couldn't make it clear. The report team also asked the old man if he knew the legend about Jingshan. The old man thought about it and said a lot, but he didn't say it clearly. The summary of the report group is roughly as follows: Legend has it that Jingshan was once equivalent to the Moon Palace. There used to be two rabbits on the mountain. These two rabbits don't often appear, but once they do, the mirror of Jingshan can be seen by people. If the rabbit comes out and someone sees it, it's good luck. During the Republic of China, several people saw that Jingshan Mountain was more magical, so they built a temple on Jingshan Mountain and planted a bed of leeks on it. These people became famous local Taoist priests. Monks often see rabbits coming out in the middle of the night. As soon as the rabbit came out, the Taoist priest found that the leek had become many beds, and found that the leek could grow immediately after the rabbit ate these leeks. Taoist priests were surprised to see this, and then cut leeks. After the leek is cut, it can grow immediately, but it will never be cut. Rabbits can stay for about a quarter of an hour every time they come out.

A quarter of an hour later, the rabbit returned to the mirror. In this way, rabbits often come out and Taoist priests can often cut leeks. They cut a lot of leeks, which will never be finished. There is also a spring on this mountain. Rabbits often go to the spring to drink it. In order to thank the Moon Rabbit for bringing leeks, Taoist priests often clean the mud in the spring eyes. The spring water is very clean, so the mirror is particularly bright. One day, a southerner came to Jingshan. At first glance, those two rabbits are very good. They must be treasures. Sometimes the mirror is bright, it must be a rare treasure, so he did it and suppressed all the rabbits. No rabbits, not so many leeks. Later, when the leek was almost cut, these people left. After the Taoist priest left, the mirrors in Jingshan stopped lighting, and all kinds of evil spirits came. Later, the Japanese devils came and brought disaster here.

The evil of Japanese devils under the mirror mountain

From the horse path of Jingshan Mountain to the legend of Jingshan Mountain and Moon Rabbit Mirror, it seems that it is related to the activities of Japanese devils here. What did the Japanese do here? The old man in the village couldn't say, but said, "Many people died at that time!" " But what happened specifically, he couldn't say. When the reporter returned to the newspaper, he inquired about a lot of information. From some information, he learned that the Japanese army did leave some atrocities: 1934, a large number of anti-Japanese volunteers were active in western Liaoning, specializing in beating small Japanese devils. Now the national anthem that we all sing is March of the Volunteers, and the "volunteer army" actually refers to the volunteers in western Liaoning. At that time, the national anti-Japanese sentiment was high, so the "volunteer army" was simply described as the "Northeast Volunteer Army". Volunteers killed Xiao Ye, a Japanese army officer, on the south hill of Beishuiquangou in Jingzishan, Chaoyang County. It can be said that this is a great victory, and it also has a certain incentive effect on the national war of resistance. The Japanese army was hit here. They set up a stone tablet in the place where Xiao Ye was killed, and swore in front of the stone tablet that they would "avenge Xiao Ye sooner or later". They wanted to retaliate against the volunteers, but at this time, the Japanese army gained a firm foothold in the local area and could not find the whereabouts of the volunteers, so they had to put the matter of revenge on hold.

1937, a traitor reported to the pseudo-police station in Chaoyang county that there was a farmer nicknamed "Xu Laopin" in Nanshuiquan village who participated in the volunteer army and Xiaoye was killed by his comrades. This information was reported to the Japanese army, which immediately decided to retaliate. Because it can't find volunteers, it plans to wash the village in the north and south springs. On the morning of July 25th of that year, the Japanese puppet troops assembled 150 people and broke into Jingcun. In front of the village office at that time, the Japanese army found a fake village head and a local tyrant to lead the way to Shuiquangou. The Japanese army searched the village, drove 49 people into a big house, sealed the doors and windows, and burned them alive. Occasionally, people rushed out of doors and windows and were killed by machine guns. Dongzhangzi, a neighboring village, saw the fire in Shuiquangou and heard the villagers wailing there. He fled to the mountains, but the Japanese puppet troops surrounded him shot and killed him. At that time, the Japanese puppet troops counted the number of people killed by them and found 99 people. The leader of the Japanese army felt very angry because he didn't sum up 100. When they evacuated from Xiezhangzi village, they met a man from a foreign country. When they asked him if his home was near Shuiquangou, they immediately stabbed him to death. Finally, the Japanese leader proudly shouted: "65,438+000 people died! 100 is dead! "

At this time, the reporter finally understood why someone would make up such a legend. It turns out that people are commemorating those peaceful and beautiful days and accusing Japan of atrocities. The beautiful Jingshan, like a mirror, can reflect the good and evil in the world. Text/photo business newspaper special report section
