Wuhan is located in the Jianghan Plain in central China, the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, where the Yangtze River and its largest tributary, the Han River, meet, and the thoroughfare of nine provinces, with an important geographical location.

This is the birthplace of Chu culture, since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it has become an important military and commercial town, and it has become the first prosperous place in Chu during the Ming and Qing dynasties, and it is "one of the four gatherings in the world".

Huangpi Town, located in the north of Wuhan, is the starting point of the Yangtze River in Wuhan. Huangpi has a long history, established in the first year of the elephant of the Northern Zhou Dynasty (579), and was the national capital for the second and the sixth for the state capital in history. It has the reputation of a thousand-year-old county and Mulan's hometown. The mountainous area in the north of Huangpi is known as Beixiang. Here the hills are stacked with greenery, the fields are like weaving, and the villages are scattered.

Mr. Zhongshan is known as the first great man of the Republic of China - Li Yuanhong, whose ancestral home is a small village called Lijiahe here. In order to show respect for him, avoid calling him by his first name, and continue the tradition of the ancients replacing his name with his hometown, everyone called him Li Huangpi.

According to the "Li Family Genealogy", the ancestors of the Li family moved from Kaifeng to Anhui and Jiangxi in the Tang Dynasty, and then moved to Hubei. The two brothers of the Li family began to live in Yuzhang (now Nanchang) in Jiangxi, with the brother's name Li Xu and the younger brother's name Lidan.

The younger brother Li Dan had five sons, among whom the eldest Li Shunchen and the third Li Shunyuan migrated to Hubei with their uncle.

As the "Piyi Lijiahe Ancestor General Lineage Map" said: "Shunchen Gong moved to Hushu from Jiangxi Yuzhang broken tile pier, first moved to Huangpi Xiaoximen outside the big banqiao, and then moved to Dongxiang County, from Dongxiang to the north of the county 180 miles, the place name Lijiahe Juyan. ”

After the tree is matured, it must be branched out, and Li Sunchen is the ancestor of Li Yuanhong's lineage. His family has been bred in Huangpi for 13 generations, for more than 300 years.

After Li Sunchen moved to Lijiahe in Huangpi during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, he worked hard for several generations to operate hard. The family gradually took deep roots, and the clansmen were widely spread in the villages of Wulao Mountain and Mulan Mountain in the remaining veins of Dabie Mountain. Others migrated to nearby states and counties to settle down. By the early years of the Qing Dynasty, the Li family had developed into a prominent family. It can be said that the land and real estate are widely distributed, "the rich townships", follow the Confucian way of governing the family, the book is based on the ceremony, the cultivation and reading are the industry, and the family industry is brilliant, which is valued by the local gentry.

If the heavens are in charge of the people, will they definitely "work their muscles and bones and work hard their minds"? Whether this is the case or not, it is difficult to determine, anyway, in Li Yuanhong's father's generation, the family road has already fallen into the middle, and it is impossible to maintain the life of the whole family with limited land and property.

Li Yuanhong's grandfather Li Guorong had two sons, and Li Yuanhong's father, Li Chaoyang, was the eldest son in the family.

After all, Li Chaoyang was born in an unusual family, has culture, knowledge, and is still very different from ordinary villagers. In order to maintain the life of the family, seeing that the rural families with better family backgrounds hoped that their children could read and write, he set up a private school to teach the children of the peasant families to read and write.

The local people are accustomed to calling the children of the village family black mud pipes, and the teacher who teaches these people to read is called Mr. Dong Yan. Li Yuanhong's father, Li Chaoyang, became the "Mr. Dong Yan" who taught "black mud control" to read and write. The income is very meager, but the family can barely survive.

However, such a difficult day did not last long.

Thirteen years before Li Yuanhong was born, Hong Xiuquan launched the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom uprising. Starting from Jintian, Guangxi, all the way north, Keyongan, attacking Guilin, besieging Changsha, breaking Yuezhou, and fighting until Wuchang City.

The Taiping army and the Qing army fought a tug-of-war that lasted for 622 days in the central town. The Taiping army attacked Wuchang three times and was driven out three times. Huangpi, which was adjacent to Wuchang, was not spared and became a battlefield for the Qing army and the Taiping army.

The ultimate victims of the war are always the local people, and the fighting has caused Huangpi, with houses destroyed, food looted, refugees everywhere, and fields deserted. Those primary school students, known as "black mud guards", were forced to leave one by one because of life, and without these "food and clothing parents", Li Chaoyang's private school could not continue.

Life has to go on, and Li Chaoyang, who is tenacious and does not compromise with life, is trying to find a way out.

On this day, Li Chaoyang got an article written by Zeng Guofan "Asking for Cantonese Bandits" from his clansmen, and heard that Zeng Guofan's Hunan army was recruiting, and when a soldier has a military salary, he can bring out a mouth to eat, so Li Chaoyang abandoned his pen and followed the army.

After Li Chaoyang joined the army, he was quickly promoted because of his education and courage in combat. Promoted level by level, promoted to "guerrilla".

Official position plus military merits, after retiring from the army, he got the Qing government. A "leave of absence" fee issued by the government. Li Chaoyang used the money to build several houses in Hanyang and moved the family from Lijiahe to Hanyang. It was in this year that Li Yuanhong was born.

Not far from Wuhan, Hanyang County (now Caidian District) Zhoudouzui, the lake is vertical and horizontal, the reeds are thick, on the high hill on the shore of the lake, there is a small village called Baoguoan.

Although it is not a beautiful landscape, it is not picturesque, and it is not a land of fish and rice. However, in those days, it was possible to fish when you went into the water, and you could farm when you went ashore. Because of its remote location, war generally does not affect this area. In the years of frequent wars, many Huangpi people moved their families here and lived a stable life in paradise. This is the birthplace of Li Yuanhong.

This day is October 19, 1864 in the Gregorian calendar. The lunar calendar is September 19, and folklore has it that this day is the birthday of Guanyin Bodhisattva.

In the morning, the sky was still very clear, but soon in the afternoon, the sky suddenly changed, the wind was loud, and the clouds were rolling. In the countryside at that time, how could there be any weather forecast, and it was very good to look at the sky when I went out, who would have thought that this god would love to change his face so much. Seeing that it is going to rain, I can't let the rain pour into the ground, thinking that it is the birthday of Guanyin Bodhisattva, fortunately I went back to worship the Bodhisattva as soon as possible, and I can be blessed by the Bodhisattva.

Avalokiteshvara, the name of the Buddhist Bodhisattva, is the Sanskrit Avalokiteśva

The paraphrase of a is also translated as "Guangshiyin", the left attendant of Amitabha Buddha, one of the "Three Sages of the West".

Buddhism believes that Avalokiteshvara is a bodhisattva of great compassion and compassion, and all sentient beings in distress need to recite his name, and "the bodhisattva immediately contemplates his voice" to save and liberate. Because the Tang Dynasty avoided the name of Taizong Li Shimin, the word "world" was removed, and it was abbreviated as "Guanyin".

Perhaps the Chinese have endured too much suffering and pray that someone will come to help them, so Guanyin Bodhisattva has a very good fate among the people, and is especially respected and loved.

Avalokiteshvara is one of the four great bodhisattvas of Chinese Buddhism. According to legend, his birthday is the 19th day of the 9th month of the lunar calendar, the day of enlightenment is the 19th day of the 6th month of the lunar calendar, the day of Nirvana is the 19th day of the 2nd month of the lunar calendar, and the Dharma dojo is Putuo Mountain. Due to the far-reaching influence of Guanyin belief in China, there are various folk legends about Guanyin Bodhisattva, such as the widely spread Guanyin as the third princess of the king of Xinglin Miaozhuang Princess Miaoshan.

This kind of legend of female Guanyin can be seen in Zhu Ben's "Quwei Old News" in the Song Dynasty. Subsequently, the late Song Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty Guanyin Bodhisattva Biography became a complete biography. Based on this, a large number of Guanyin storybooks such as "Xiangshan Treasure Scroll", "The Complete Biography of Guanyin in the South China Sea", and "Guanyin Attained the Dao" have also appeared.

Guanyin has various names and images, such as the six Guanyin, the seven Guanyin, and the thirty-three Guanyin (called the thirty-three bodies), but Guanyin generally refers to the holy Guanyin as the whole. The statue of Guanyin in Chinese monasteries is often used as a female figure. The statue of Guanyin began in the Northern and Southern Dynasties and flourished after the Tang Dynasty.

According to the Lotus Sutra, Volume 7 (Pumen Pin), Guanyin is manifested in the 33 different bodies of the Samadhi: one Buddha body, two Buddha bodies, three sound hearing bodies, four Brahma King bodies, five emperor Buddha bodies, six Buddha bodies, seven great Buddha bodies, eight heavenly general bodies, nine Bishamen bodies, ten little king bodies, eleven elder bodies, twelve lay bodies, thirteen ruler bodies, fourteen brahmin bodies, fifteen bhikshu bodies, sixteen bhikshuni bodies, seventeen upasai bodies, eighteen upasa bodies, nineteen elder women's bodies, Twenty layman women, twenty-one ruler women, twenty-two brahmin women, twenty-three boys, twenty-four virgins, twenty-five heavens, twenty-six dragons, twenty-seven yakshas, twenty-eight gandharvas, twenty-nine asuras, thirty garudas, thirty-one kinaras, thirty-two maharajas, thirty-three vajras.

In fact, Guanyin Bodhisattva, like Shakyamuni Buddha, should also be a real person. For example, the Eighteen Arhats were actually ordinary Buddhists. The reason for this is that after the death of Shakyamuni Buddha, there was a disagreement among Buddhists about their understanding. This one says that the Buddha said this, and that one said that it is not right, and the Buddha said that. In order to unify his thoughts, he held a meeting with 18 people who had listened to the teachings of Shakyamuni Buddha in the world, and they unified their understanding, and these 18 people were deified into 18 Arhats.

What about the five hundred Arhats? That's because, after many years, there are differences in understanding. At this time, there were no people who had heard the teachings of Shakyamuni Buddha alive. Therefore, 500 eminent monks with the highest prestige and the most profound understanding of Buddhist theories were gathered to hold a meeting to unify their thoughts and understanding. It is also mythologized by later generations as the five hundred Arhats.

In fact, all the gods in the world were created by mortals.

It is said that the villagers were afraid of being watered by the rain, so they hurried home. When I walked to the head of the village, I only heard a blast. Thunder sounded, and a large fireball rose from the roof of the Li family into the air.

At this moment, a baby's cry came from the tiled house, and a new life was born, which was Li Yuanhong.

This is the way things are in the world, if Li Yuanhong was an unknown person, he was born on that day, and what happened when he was born, it would definitely not be mentioned by people. However, because it is Li Yuanhong, because Li Yuanhong was the president of the Republic of China, it is different.

Was I born on the day of Kannon Bodhisattva's birthday, is it okay? A big fireball rose from his house, it was an omen, who was Li Yuanhong? If it's not a Wenqu star, it has to be a martial arts star in the lower realm.
