The "Dietary Ring City" often mentioned in ancient Buddhist scriptures is actually the old Kunming City that once had three lanes and eighteen shops. Fang is not talking about the archway, but refers to the block, and the shop refers to the post station.

In fact, before the Ming Dynasty, Kunming was actually not a city. Moreover, there are many droughts and floods every year, killing and injuring countless people; At that time, there was also a little black brother who wrote a limerick poem for the famine: "The dragon king was killed by a knife, and there was a famine everywhere, Lao Tzu met you and pulled you out!" ”。

It was not until the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty that Wang Zhanhai, a feng shui master who had reached the peak of his feng shui attainments, led the decree into Yunnan, and then there was Kunming City.

But this master of civil engineering, who had designed the Ming Taizu Emperor's Mausoleum, the Ming Palace and Macao, and wrote him in later novels that he liked to place a dead cat in his tomb, encountered a very tricky trouble when he arrived in Kunming; That is, no matter how strong and tall the walls are, as long as the night of the fifteenth full moon comes, the built walls will collapse for no reason!

Wang Zhanhai felt strange! I didn't eat kickbacks in the building materials, why did it always collapse? He built the city one after another, full of suspicion, but on the night of the full moon, the walls still fell to a pulp. Wang Zhanhai is worried about this, but he can't figure it out?

Just when he was anxious, a person with a black face appeared in front of him, claiming to be the Kunlun Dragon God to come to instruct, after a few words, Wang Zhanhai knew that this Kunming was a dragon's den.

This dragon's lair is by no means the auspicious dragon's lair mentioned in feng shui, but refers to the dragon's nest. Dianchi Lake, Black Dragon Pond, Blue Dragon Pond, White Dragon Pond, Caihaizi Jiulong Pond, and even the East and West Temple Towers passed down by the people of Kunming by mouth, all suppress the dragon; And they're all dragons.

The man who claimed to be a god but had dark skin pointed out to Wang Zhanhai: "The original city wall is spiritually impassable, so it has been built repeatedly and fallen." Kunming Wanglong, showing the trend of Gen Mountain tending to dry, there is the image of turtles and snakes intersecting; If you can nine miles, three points and six gates, three mountains and one water axis is clear; You can Huashan fall to the hill, the world's first feng shui city, the ocean and the sea as the Ming Hall, the turtle and snake intersect Kunming City. ”。

The name of Kunming City was born from this.

Wang Zhanhai woke up like a dream when he heard this, and suddenly a flash of inspiration appeared in his mind, and he built the old Kunming City in the shape of a spirit turtle; The Great South Gate is the head of the turtle, the North Gate is the tail of the turtle, and the Great East Gate, the Small East Gate, the Great West Gate, and the Little West Gate are the four legs of the turtle respectively. Therefore, near the small west gate of Kunming today, there is a turtle back overpass, which is how it came.

At the foot of the long worm mountain that winds in the north, the old Kunming city is connected with its qi veins, forming a basalt state where turtles and snakes intersect, making Kunming have a momentum of heaven and earth, mountains and rivers and the unity of all things. Since then, the city wall has not collapsed.

After the city was built, Wang Zhanhai stood on Wuhua Mountain and looked down at the built Kunming City, and said proudly: "This city is more and more vigorous, and it will be able to benefit the people of Yunnan, and I believe that after five hundred years, Yunnan will be far better than Jiangnan." ”。 From now on, it will become a prophecy!

This is a legend known to the older generation of Kunming people; But I don't know what kind of god was pointing out Wang Zhanhai back then, it was the dragon lock man! And the little black brother who wrote a limerick poem and said that he wanted the dragon scales to be pulled out is also this person.

The dragon lock people skillfully took advantage of the strong strength of the Ming Dynasty to take the city as a battle and suppressed all the evil dragons living on the dam in Kunming. Then he drifted away, nowhere to be found. And our story starts with the dragon lock and the old Kunming city.
