First, the five gods

"Wutong God", also known as "Wulang God" or "Wurampant God", is a common name for monsters and lonely souls who roam the countryside and like lewd wives and daughters, and does not specifically refer to that kind of ghosts and gods. Usually there are five statues to worship blood food, known as "five links". The "Five Links God" has a complex history, and one refers to the ghosts of Liuzhou in the Tang Dynasty; One said that Zhu Yuanzhang paid tribute to the war dead, with five people as a team; One is said to be the Yuan and Ming dynasties that harassed Jiangnan and burned and killed the adulterous widows. In short, the gods of the five links are a group of wild ghosts who do evil. People worship it to avoid trouble and get blessings, and to make money, so they sacrifice it as the god of wealth. Wutong God is widely worshipped in the form of idols in the south of the Yangtze River. The connotation of the road god is strange, and the source is the oldest.

The god of Wutong is a god similar to the god of wealth. It is said that as long as there are five gods to patronize, the family will have endless food, and the granary and bottles and cans will always be full. However, no one can describe the specific image of the god of the five links, only that the snakes that appear in the house or other animals that rarely appear in the house are the incarnations of the god of the five links, and some people say that people born with genetic problems like Caucasian people are born of the god of the five links.

Since ancient times, the people of Jiangnan have the habit of sacrificing the "five gods", which is one of the obscene rites that the official is unhappy with. There are two theories about these five. One is that this is the evil god cultivated by the five brothers back then, and I don't know if it can be blessed. But if you offend them, you can bring disaster to you. If you make a good offering, you may also have some blessings. And it is faster than worshipping regular gods and Buddhas——— this is actually true, when the evil path can accumulate wealth faster than the right path, such as bribery or something.

1. The legend of the Five Links God and the Little Heavenly Palace

A long time ago, Dongyang went out of the south gate, painted the bank of the water river, and lived at the foot of the east mountain of the tower. They got up early in the morning and worked in the dark, ploughing and weaving, relying on their industrious hands, and gradually built their hometown into a decent little village. They are engaged in agriculture, and they are attacked by the drought devil almost every year, and the crops that are fast to the mouth are scorched by the drought devil, and the grain that is fast to the mouth is taken away by the drought devil. They were determined to work together to build a mountain pond to irrigate their farmland and withstand drought. So he built a pond halfway up the mountainside (Shimoda Kun) at the foot of Tadong Mountain, determined to stop the mountain water. However, perhaps the location was chosen incorrectly, and the mountain pond built by the whole village for several years could not store water, and in the summer and autumn, the original green seedlings were still scorched by the drought, and the fields were cracked, resulting in no harvest of grain grains.

When the villagers were sighing and sighing and were at a loss, they were aware of this difficulty by the "five gods" who traveled all over the world, and intended to do something good for the villagers here. So he stayed in a cave in the stone wall on the east side of Tadong Mountain, and together with the villagers, he analyzed the reason why the "Xiatian Kun" mountain pond could not store water, and pointed out that "Xiatian Kun" did not have road water, and the dam was not high, which was the main reason for the inability to store water. It was decided to choose another dam site to rebuild the pond. "Wutongshen" said to the villagers: "The pit mouth where I live is more suitable to build a dam, the water vein is long, the water source is better than 'Xia Tian Kun', and the mountains on both sides of the pit mouth are relatively steep, and it is a stone wall, so the dam is built to save labor and effort, and it is guaranteed to meet the needs of farmland irrigation after it is built." So I worked with the villagers to pick up rocks and build a dam." Wutong Shen" carried two boulders to the pit mouth dam on this day, climbed dozens of steps of "long step", came to the gentle section of "Cailing", was trying to take a break, change shoulders, due to overwork, a stumbling and falling to the ground, two boulders rolled down on both sides, and a slap of "Wutong God" just happened to be imprinted on the mountain pond that was being built, so this palm-shaped mountain pond reservoir was formed. And two boulders, one fell on the side of the "long step", and the other fell in the original pond of "Shimoda Kun". Thanks to the joint efforts of the "Wutong Shen" and the villagers, the pond was quickly built and filled with water. In order to commemorate the "Wutong God", people call this mountain pond "Little Heavenly Palace", and the cave where the "Wutong God" lives is called "Wutong Cave". Since then, although the four towns and eight neighbors in the area at the foot of the South Mountain are dry every time there is a drought, and the seedlings are dried up everywhere, but only the Tadong Mountain is green and the rice ears are heavy, and there is a good harvest every year. The reason is that with the "Little Heavenly Palace" it can resist drought. And when the "Little Heavenly Palace" is about to run out of water, God will inevitably stop the drought and the next rain will be through. At this time, the water of the "Little Heavenly Palace" was full again, so the reputation of this "Little Heavenly Palace" that never dried up spread farther and farther.

Later, in order to commemorate and thank the "Wutong God", the simple villagers will carry the "pig's head and goose" to the "Wutong Cave" to worship the "Wutong God" every New Year's Festival. It continues to this day. (To be continued.) )
