Preface 25 Wild associations
Guanghan City is a county-level city in Tianfu Province, with an area of 538 square kilometers, 18 towns under its jurisdiction, and a population of more than 600,000. Since ancient times, it has been said that "the key Qu of Shu Province and the Confucius Road of Beijing" has been praised as the reputation of "the pearl of western Sichuan", and it is also one of the birthplaces of Chinese civilization.
There are not only the world-famous "Sanxingdui" ruins, but also the Guanghan East Zen Temple, known as the "first Zen temple in western Sichuan".
There are also the Han Dynasty's Luocheng, ancient trees, ancient tombs, Tang Dynasty Longju Temple, Fanghu Park, Song Dynasty Guanghan Temple, Ming Dynasty Bingling Temple, Qing Dynasty Fire Temple...... and other ancient ruins.
There is also a legend since ancient times that there is a golden bird born in the "Golden Goose Lake", modern people have established a European-style garden covering an area of more than 800 acres here, planting a green lawn with an area of 100 acres, and there is a steel statue of "Zodiac" in the center of the lawn.
……
Speaking of the famous "Dongchan Temple", we have to mention the cultural spirit of China that embraces everything.
The cultural circles divide the ancient civilizations of the earth into seven ancient cultures: Egyptian culture, Sumerian culture, Minoan culture, Mayan culture, Andean culture, Harappan culture, and Chinese culture.
And from ancient times to the present, it has always maintained a lineage. Only the Chinese culture, which has integrated countless foreign civilizations, still stands at the top of the world's civilization.
Dongchan Temple was founded in the 3rd year of Tianbao in the Tang Dynasty (744 AD), and the first Zen master was called Kunlun. Legend has it that this Kunlun once planted a ginkgo tree with his own hands, and now it still grows in the temple.
At the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, the second generation of the Quanzhen Sect led his disciples to enter the temple, and since then the temple has become a religious dojo where Buddhism and Taoism coexist.
In the early years of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, the abbot of Dongchan Temple, Wuchen Zen Master, used python blood here to write ten thousand volumes of Buddhist scriptures.
Zhang Sanfeng, the founder of Wudang Mountain, also came here and lived for three months.
Legend has it that Emperor Hui Zhu Yunwen, after the throne was taken away by Zhu Di, he took refuge in Dongchan Temple. Later, under the guidance of the dustless master, he sneaked into Yinghua Mountain to learn Buddhism and monasticism, and was respected by the world as "Huaying Patriarch".

After visiting these ancient Shu cultural relics, Qiyou walked out of the door of the museum and prepared to drive to Sanxing Village in Nanxing Town, Guanghan City. Because it was his first time going, he was not very familiar with the road conditions, so he opened the map and navigated it.
Looking at the map in the past, Shifang, Deyang and Guanghan cities are connected into an equilateral triangle. And Sanxing Village, Nanxing Town, is just at the bottom of this triangle.
From the perspective of historical origins, Qiyou is very much identified with the outstanding people of Guanghan City. Because of Nanxing Town alone, there are four celebrities of the Three Kingdoms: Ding Yuan, Qin Mi, Wang Fu, and Peng Yi.
As long as anyone who has watched the Romance of the Three Kingdoms knows Ding Yuan, he is the father-in-law of a generation of fierce generals Lu Bu, but was later killed by Lu Bu. Whenever he sees this plot, he scoffs.
"Will Lu Bu kill Ding Yuan for the sake of power? But why did you kill Dong Zhuo in the end? ”
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that it was Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan who fought for power and used despicable and obscene means to assassinate Ding Yuan. In order to take revenge, Lu Bu did not hesitate to commit himself and pretend to join Dong Zhuo. Otherwise, how could Wang Yun use just a weak woman to make Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo turn against each other?
Xiang Yu, who is known as the most powerful man in China, after losing the battle for the world with Liu Bang. Facing Jiangdong's fathers and elders without face, he would rather commit suicide by the Wujiang River than surrender and steal his life, or flee back to his hometown in disgrace.
It can be seen that the heroism and self-esteem of the peak masters of martial arts are by no means comparable to ordinary people. Although Lu Bu's kung fu is not as good as Xiang Yu, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, he was also one of the best masters.
Luo Guanzhong is not a martial artist, he doesn't understand the arrogance of a martial arts master.
"Will Lu Bu choose to recognize the thief as his father and ignore his loyalty?" I don't believe it.
As for Cao Cao in the end, he captured Lu Bu, who originally planned to subdue Lu Bu, but because he listened to Liu Bei's slander, he killed him. Qi You guessed that Liu Bei may have told Cao Cao that Lu Bu was Xiang Yu's descendant.
You must know that in ancient times, the inheritance of this martial art has always been passed from father to son and son to grandson, and even daughters have no chance to learn it. Those Conservatives would rather bury their secrets deep in the soil than spread them casually.
"Lu Bu's perfect Fang Tian painting halberd, isn't it Xiang Yu's stunt in the last years of the Qin Dynasty?"
Although many people complained that in history, Xiang Yu and Lu Bu did not use Fang Tian's halberd, but overlord guns or spears or the like.
……
While driving the car and listening to the music, the ruler involuntarily unfolded, some whimsical associations.
"It's very strange why did the ancient Shu primitive civilization choose to develop in this small place? And why do Buddhism and Taoism want to build temples and temples here? ”
Legend has it that Yinghua Mountain, where Zhu Yunwen became a monk, is the Longxi Hongkou National Nature Reserve in Huaguo. The wild animals here are golden roosters and takin, which are very interesting! ”
"The golden pheasant, also known as the 'red-bellied golden pheasant,' is a unique bird species in China. From the appearance, the golden rooster is very similar to the 'bronze bird' unearthed in Sanxingdui. In particular, the tail feathers of the male golden rooster are open during courtship, and the flame symbol on the back of the bronze bird is exactly the same. ”
"This takin, also known as the 'four dislikes', is not only the national beast of Bhutan, but also the mount of the Taoist Yuqing Yuan Shi Tianzun."
"What's even stranger is that the gods and goddesses in Taoist myths and legends almost all of their mounts are oxen. Since ancient times, Taoists not only do not eat beef, but also do not eat domestic dogs, turtles, and wild geese. ”
……
Speaking of national animals, there are representative animals from all over the world. Moreover, the characteristics and personalities of these national beasts are very much in line with the style of this country.
For example, the giant panda in China, the polar bear in the bear country, the lion in the eagle country, the tiger in India, the white elephant in Thailand, the wolf in Italy, the wild horse in Mongolia, the alpaca in Peru, the kangaroo in Australia, the orangutan in Malaysia, the Komodo dragon in Indonesia, the camel in Saudi Arabia, etc.
It was not until 2016 that the first black president signed the bill and officially established the North American bison as the national animal of the United States.
According to scientists, the bison, a large animal, is not itself a native animal of the American continent. Rather, hundreds of thousands of years ago, the species that migrated across the land bridge between Asia and North America became the largest land animal in North America.
……
Since the beginning of human civilization, the elites of the upper class of society have been proud of riding horses. In almost everyone's perception, horses run faster than oxen, and horses are smarter. The old horse can not only know the way, but also ride a horse to go to the battlefield.
"And the ox, what else can it do except be a slave to plow the land and be served food on the table?" Chi You thought secretly.
However, Qi You thinks that if this is heard by the brute bull, he may die to the person who said this!
