The Jinghai Temple in the 86_86322 book is a place that I have been unfamiliar with since I was a child, but it has carved a mark on me.

The prototype of Guangzhou Bay is Zhanjiang, Zhanjiang was called Guangzhou Bay a long time ago, and it is a port for foreign trade, and Jinghai Temple is the belief of the people of Guangzhou Bay.

Jinghai Temple lies quietly in front of a bay, from the door straight out of the not far away, you can see the ships on the sea, green walls and yellow tiles, not resplendent but very simple and elegant. It is backed by a lush casuarina forest belt, lying quietly in front of the bay, with the sea at the door, but only a few tens of meters, only three meters high from the sea, but no matter how strong the wind and waves, even a typhoon, the waves never enter the palace

During the New Year's Festival, there are always a lot of people in the temple, there are admiring pilgrims, there are also those who come to make vows, come to worship, there is Mazu Niangniang in the temple, and there is a god, this god is a big black stone, called the Great Prince, not so much this is called Jinghai Temple, it is better to say that it is more suitable to call Wanggong Temple.

This ordinary stone has a magical legend. Legend has it that once upon a time, a fisherman trawled a net in the sea to catch fish, and when he lifted the net, he found that there was not a single fish in the net, only a large boulder. He was so angry that he threw the stone back into the sea. But the strange thing is that he changed several places to put the net down, and they all netted this big stone. Suspecting that it was a god at work, he made a wish to the stone: "If you are a god, bless me with a full cabin of fish, and I will make you a god." Later, he returned every day with a full load. The fishermen were so happy that they erected the stone on the beach and built a temple to worship it.

Since then, the great prince often manifests, or scares off pirates, or protects the territory and the people, so the Jinghai Palace incense is prosperous, and the people in the countryside come and go to merchants, burn incense and worship, and pray for peace. Stone god Jinghai Anmin, Jinghai Palace so famous, later, Qing Jiaqing, Daoguang, Guangxu three emperors, successively to the prince of the entitlement. The guardian saint of the South China Sea, the Jinghai Dragon Palace put the Hong Kong Hongsheng King, and the golden seal holy decree of the enshrinement is still there.

Later, Jinghai Temple was accompanied by Guangzhou Bay, experienced two wars of resistance against Japan and France, Guangzhou Bay was a port of southern trade, and it was also a place for soldiers. According to the story left behind, the French forced the Qing government to lease Guangzhou Bay and parked the warships in the sea in front of the Jinghai Palace. Later, this place became a stronghold of anti-Japanese liaison in the Wuchuan area.

The sign of Jinghai Temple was very spiritual in the past, and now it is said that it is not so spiritual, but I have never changed my feelings for this temple.

My hometown, as mentioned in the article, is more than 20 miles away from Jinghai Temple, when I was a child, my hometown was very poor, and the deepest memory should be sitting on an ox cart and following my uncles to the market.

When I was six or seven years old, my parents had a little success outside, and in order to give me a good education, my parents left this barren mountain village, but from a very young age, even if I don't remember the impression of my hometown, I still remember the prince in Jinghai Temple.

That is my godfather, and he is also the godfather of many children in several villages in Guangzhou Bay. The deed was given to the gods, which was one of the ways to avoid the punishment of father and son, and to dissolve the ominous. Not long after I was born, I ran into a dead man, and as soon as I was born, I almost died. Later, my father led me back to Guangzhou Bay and recognized this prince as my godfather, and my physique gradually became stronger.

When I was young, once I was lying in bed and was frightened by something outside the window, and soon after I slept that night, I had a dream about the prince, and no one cried, and I slept peacefully until dawn.

Of course, this dream, these things are too mysterious to say, and no one will believe them when they say it, so you should listen to me tell a story after dinner
