Chapter 311 Jiangshan Mountain God, Ghost Immortal Liu An
Seeing the thoughts of the time travelers, Xiang Yu smiled and said:
"Haha, how dare I, Xiang, be arrogant and called the God of Zhongshan? Even Jiang Ziwen, wouldn't I dare to call him the God of Zhongshan? I rejected Sun Zhongmou's title of Zhongshan God and changed it to Jiangshan God?"
"There is only one god of Zhongshan, that is, the ancient god Zhulong, who is an ancient god who seems to have existed since the founding of the world and the Taishan Mansion Lord. The god of Zhongshan has long fallen, and Jiang Ziwen and us can steal this place, let alone I occupy this
Zhongshan Divine Palace is not the real Zhulong sleeping palace, but the divine palace of Jiang Xin in the past. It was rebuilt with the remains of Zhongshan Divine Palace after Jiang Ziwen became a god."
What does the God of Zhongshan exist?
Even though Gao Jingfei is ignorant, he has heard of this person's name.
According to the Shanhai Classic, the god of Zhongshan is called Zhulong, also known as Zhuyin, Zhuniaoyin, regarded as day, night, blowing as winter, calling as summer, not drinking, not eating, never resting, breathing as wind, body length
Qianli. "The Notes on Shanhai Jing" says that "Zhun Jiuyin" means "where the candle shines on the nine secret places" and is not the name of Zhulong.
At that time, the Overlord took Jiangdong as its foundation, and Jiangdong was also called Jiangzuo, which included most of the Jiangnan and Anhui provinces and other regions. Jinling was naturally also included. Therefore, after the Overlord died, the souls of the dead were able to wander in the Yinjie Jiangdong area.
Although Zhongshan is on the edge of Jiankang City, the ancient city of Jinling, the Zhongshan God familiar to time travelers was actually enfeoffed by Sun Quan of the Eastern Wu. It was originally just Jiang Ziwen, who served as the Moling Wei general in the late Han Dynasty, died in the northeastern suburbs after chasing the thieves and fighting in the suburbs of the northeast.
At the foot of Zhongshan Mountain above, Sun Quan of the Eastern Wu established the capital Moling, which was later Jiankang, and then named him "Zhongshan God", and changed Zhongshan to Jiangshan, and gave him a temple of King Jiang.
According to folk legend, after the god Zhongshan ascended the throne, "the disaster was finally stopped and the people made great efforts."
In other words, this Zhongshan Mountain God was just a Yin God who was named after his death. He was not considered the real god of heaven and earth in ancient times, and could not be compared with the legendary god of Zhongshan, Zhulong. After all, in the description of the Shanhai Sutra,
This Zhulong is definitely a first-class ancient god, and is also a top-notch existence among many gods and demons. He is not a simple earth god like the God of Zhongshan.
Guo Shihong asked:
"I dare to ask the king, where is Prince Jiang now?"
Jiang Xin, whose courtesy name is Ziwen, was from Xuzhou, Guangling during the Three Kingdoms period. It is said that he was frivolous. He was a wise man in Moling at the end of the Han Dynasty. He chased robbers to the foot of Zhongshan. After his death in the battle, he was buried in Zhongshan. He was named the emperor in the Yongming period of the Southern Dynasty. In the Southern Tang Dynasty, he was named the emperor.
He was posthumously named Emperor Zhuang Wu and had a temple monument.
It is said that it was the early years of Sun Wu. Someone saw Jiang Ziwen riding a white horse on the avenue, holding a white feather fan in his hand, and the servants followed him left and right, exactly the same as before. So Emperor Sun Quan and Sun Zhongmou of Wu built a temple for Jiang Ziwen and named him Marquis of Jiang.
Zhongshan was renamed Jiangshan. So strictly speaking, Jiang Xin was just the god of Jiangshan, but later generations recognized the name Zhongshan and called him Zhongshanshan God.
Gan Bao, a historian of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, said in "Soushen Ji" that the Jin army won five battles and five victories because Jiang Xin secretly showed his spirit to help him on a white horse. "Zizhi Tongjian" and "Taiping Huanyu Ji" were also included. Later generations then followed.
The pond where Jiang Xin showed his spirit was named Baimatang, and the Baima Temple was built by Tang, Jinnan Town, Jinhu County.
Later, the White Horse Temple was built in Xuzhou, and the White Horse Temple was built in Gaoyou to worship the god Jiang Xin.
During the Six Dynasties, from emperors, generals and ministers to ordinary people, they all went to Jiangwang Temple to worship for blessings. Jiangwang Temple also became the center of important sacrificial rituals for "Jiang Prince".
In "A Study of Jinling Ancient Sites", scholar Zhu Wei said: "The temple of Jiang Ziwen first emerged in Wu, was respected in Jin, was greater than in Southern Qi, but declined in Ming." The Jiangwang Temple in their world was changed into a private school in 1912.
, and later changed to primary school, and the stage of Jiangwangmiao was changed to a school building after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
By the 1960s, temples were destroyed, and later even temple fairs were suspended.
Time travelers guessed in their hearts that perhaps Jiang Ziwen became a god after his death, and that he had no foundation and was also the body of a Yin God. After several changes in society, it naturally passed away in the wave of history, and it might have offended the overlord.
A neighbor was destroyed by Xiang Yu, the ghost king, and occupied the temple of King Jiang?
Unexpectedly, Xiang Yu smiled and said:
"When Jiang Ziwen was in Southern Qi, I sent to Fengdu to compete with King Yanmo to compete for the position of Lord of Fengdu. Later, he became King Qin Guang, the number one in the Ten Halls of Yama. This Zhongshan Temple was left to me, the Ten Halls of Yama, the Ten Halls of Yama.
The fifth hall of the Middle Earth is controlled by our Middle Earth ghosts and gods, and the fifth hall is controlled by the Brahma Ghosts and gods. This is also a compromise between our Middle Earth ghosts and gods and other foreign ghosts and gods."
The time travelers couldn't help but suddenly realize that no wonder the folk legends on their side. Prince Jiang Xin, the first palace of the Ten Palaces of Hell in the Underworld, King Qin Guang, turned out to be the source of it.
This is like a group of vacancies in the court in the feudal era, and various factions competed with each other, but they could not help but suffer losses and finally compromise. Does it mean to divide the positions?
Speaking of this, before the team arrived at the temple on the mountain, they saw a mountain gate archway in front of them, with the two large Han Li characters "Jiang Shan" written on it.
There is a stone pillar on both sides of the shrine, called "Wangzhu" and "Shendao pillar". It is similar to Huabiao, and is generally built in front of imperial palaces, tombs or divine palaces.
Behind the pillar is a stone sculpture of a white horse, which is the legendary white horse that Jiang Xin rode a white horse to appear.
There are pairs of stone beasts placed on both sides of the shrine, which look similar to the tomb of emperors. However, the latter also places stone statues of civil servants and military generals.
Compared with the magnificence of the former Dragon Lord Crystal Palace in Wujiang Water Palace, this Zhongshan Divine Palace shrouded in the red divine light is more solemn and dignified.
The buildings of Zhongshan Divine Palace follow the magnificent and solemn and ancient style of the Han Dynasty. The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, so the Han Dynasty imperial palaces all pay great attention to symmetry. There is a quid building on both sides of the front of the temple, with a tall appearance.
It was first used for defense and observation. After the founding of the Han Dynasty, the country gradually stabilized, so its defense function deteriorated and became a representative building of the palace.
"Que" is the same as "Que". The blunt explanation is that there is a gap between the two buildings, which is used as the gate. The Weiyang Palace and Jianzhang Palace in the Han Dynasty all built Que Towers.
This is also the origin of the term palace.
The walls around the temple palace are tall and rectangular, and they move along the central axis. The front, middle and back three halls are solemn and grand, and very grand. The three halls of the Forbidden City in later generations are also in the same pattern.
Unfortunately, the temple today seems to be incomplete, and from a distance there seems to be defects behind the three halls.
Xiang Yu pointed to the other side and explained: "This Jiangwang Temple is actually not the real Zhongshan Temple. It can only be said to be Jiang Ziwen's temple spiritual realm. Perhaps it can be called the God Palace when it is fully built, but from the time Jiang Ziwen becomes a god to the point of departure
After becoming King Guang of Qin, it has not been completely built in more than 200 years. The back hall is the ruins of the Zhongshan Divine Palace. After I took over the temple, I didn’t have the intention to continue building it. But the two halls in front are enough...
…”
The travelers looked towards the back hall of the temple pointed by the Overlord. Although there were only broken walls and ruins and trees that were lodged, they could vaguely see the outline of the grand scenery of the former fairyland.
Just as they were feeling, the gate of the temple was open, and a middle-aged Taoist priest in feathered clothes, a golden crown, and a gentle face as jade as if he was about 40 years old.
The Taoist priest was shrouded in a layer of faint golden glow, with a erect body, wide robe and big sleeves, floating like an immortal who was independent of the world. He did not hold a whisk in his hand, but he held a golden jade-inlaid Ruyi.
Most of the arms are as long as they are, with golden flowers and purple qi flashing on them, which is obviously a rare treasure.
