The preface to the Wind and Rain Golden Orchid Building
The monolith has a long history, and I don't know which dynasty and what generation of ancestors came here to cultivate, no one can say. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The monoliths include the Monolith Qiu Family, the Dushi Xiao Family, and the Dushi Zeng Family, with the chair ridge to the east, the herringbone ridge to the west, and the definition ridge to the north. There are three chongs formed between the ridges, the east is Zengjia Chong, the south is Xiaojiang Chong, the west is the grass thatch chong, if it is not three chongs, the monolith is almost impermeable.
The monolith is surrounded by mountains, and in the middle is an open field, like a dam deep in the mountains. In this open land, there are three stone villages, get up early in the morning, the blue rock purple mist, the scenery is very beautiful.
Speaking of the name of the monolith, everyone knows it within a radius of 100 miles, and they will sing a ballad: three villages of monolith, buckwheat and mustard; There are three ridges of monolith, buckwheat is not sticky; Monolith, three rushes, buckwheat and shallots. What dynasty and generation did this ballad come from? No one can be exquisite.
There are many scenic spots of monolith, there are Guanyin Cave, Fairy Bridge, Monkey Stone, Antelope Horn, Green Snake Tongue, First Line Sky, Tongtian Rock and so on, this is the creation of nature, it is the unique natural scenery of monolith.
There are also a lot of monuments of monolith, there are Zhaiwang Temple, Shiwu Temple, as well as ancient roads, ancient wells, ancient buildings, this ancient building is Jinlan Building. The Zhaiwang Temple has long been gone, the Shiwu Temple was also destroyed when the power station was repaired, and the Jinlan Building has been eroded by wind and rain, and the style still exists, but unfortunately it also came to naught more than ten years ago.
Speaking of Jinlan Building is a historic site, in fact, 'two taels of cotton can not be talked about', but the building is simple in shape. The door of Jinlan Building welcomes the green water, the household is facing the three villages, the back is backed by Zhenggongling, the sunrise and sunset can add a bit of mystery to the Jinlan Building, making the Jinlan Building a monument that does not fall in the minds of the monolithic people.
Jinlan Lou was formerly known as Honggongdi, is the ancestral house of Zeng's ancestor Hongwengong, changed to "Zeng's ancestral hall" during the Qianlong period, changed to "Zeng Gongdian" during the Tongzhi period, in the twelfth year of the Republic of China, bandits attacked, Zeng Gong Gong Marshal showed his magic to save the clansmen, changed to "Marshal Palace", in order to commemorate Zeng Gong's Marshal.
What kind of person was Marshal Zeng, a man or a god? There are different opinions, and most of them say this: At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, our ancestor Rixiong Gong gave birth to a son named Zeng Shihua, who was smart since childhood, cultivated literature and martial arts, and became a strange person.
It was once Hua who met the immortals in a dream one day, learned martial arts, traveled to Kyushu, taught apprentices, and had protégés all over the country.
One year, his students Zhang Zhao and Haiqing erected a banner to oppose the imperial court, and the imperial court sent troops to recruit several times, but the soldiers were defeated and returned in vain.
The emperor had no choice but to post the emperor's list to find a virtuous person. Marshal Zeng unveiled the emperor's list, took command of the army, and put down the rebellion with a letter. The emperor Longyan Dayue, Feng was the Marshal of Huawei, who led the troops to conquer Zhejiang.
Marshal Zeng went to the autumn without committing any crimes, and saw that the common people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang were suffering from the war and living a difficult life, so he wrote to the imperial court and begged for "no levy for three years". Marshal Zeng Gong later became the governor of the Guangdong Xuanwei Mansion, diligent in government and love for the people, and the people were grateful to Dade and set up his immortal tablet. After the death of Marshal Zeng, he heard that his soul had ascended to heaven and became an immortal, and he often appeared to protect his descendants.
The marshal's hall was changed to Jinlan Building, which was the twenty-third year of the Republic of China, why is it called "Jinlan Building", there is a sad story in it.
It was the night of the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month of the twenty-third year of the Republic of China, and the Xiangding of the Marshal's Hall (the person who was responsible for the morning and evening incense) Zeng Qingxi had a strange dream, dreaming that the golden boy and jade girl in the sky stole the peach of the Queen Mother, and was caught by Erlang God to report to the Jade Emperor, and the Jade Emperor was furious, and demoted the golden boy and jade girl to mortals and entered the lower realm.
The next day, the dream came true, and a middle-aged man came to the monolith with a pair of boys and girls. Zeng Qingxi looked at these two little dolls, which looked a little similar to the golden boy and jade girl in the dream, and asked the name, the boy's name was "Jin Lan", and the girl's name was "Jade Girl".
"It's really strange, is this God's arrangement?" Zeng Qingxi linked this incident with a dream and told the clansmen, who unanimously believed that it was providence, so they asked the middle-aged man some questions and believed it even more.
On the day of the marshal's birthday in this year, the marshal's hall was changed to "Jinlan Building". Of course, people relocated the site and built the Marshal's Palace.
Jinlan Building is the place where Jinlan has lived all her life, which is full of joys and sorrows, joys and sorrows, and Jinlan has endured many pains that ordinary people can't bear. Jin Lan is like an obscure grass on the land of monolith, a small sapling that can withstand the wind and rain, he has survived the destruction of nature, and he has been calmly tortured by artificiality, just like a happy bird, I don't know what it means to be sad.
When I was a child, we studied in Jinlan Building, and often made up a ballad about Jinlan, and made up a ballad: Jinlan Jinlan, secretly went down to earth, thinking of the jade girl, crying at night, the jade girl ascended to heaven, and Jinlan was blind...... When Jin Lan heard this ballad, she chased us and scolded: "I owe my tutor less life."
Jin Lan is a blind man, he was black-eyed, how could he catch up with us? Now that I think about it, it shouldn't be.
Jin Lan's old age was bitter, and his father, Zeng Guangren, who thought he had passed away a long time ago, suddenly returned from overseas, and his father and son were reunited, crying and complaining, reminiscing about the lost years and the deceased people, and feeling a lot of emotion.
Zeng Guangren was grateful to Dade for the brother who married Jinlan back then, donated money to repair Jinlan Building, and remembered He Guangbao, the adoptive father of Jinlan and Jade Girl. Place the incense burner in the main altar, carve the statue of He Guangbao in the main hall, and hold the golden orchid book.
Since then, Jinlan Building has become a place for those brothers with different surnames who are like brothers and sisters to burn incense and worship, and it has also become a beautiful scenery of monolith, but it is a pity that today, Jinlan Building has been bought and repaired.
Jinlan Tower has been destroyed for more than ten years, and people still miss it, and at the same time, they regret not protecting it well; The style of Jinlan Tower can only remain in our memory.
"Wind and Rain Jinlan Building" is the first novel (1983-1992) that I spent ten years writing, writing the 100-year history of the monolith, along the way, I shed a lot of tears, sighing for the bitterness of the protagonist Jin Lan. So at the end of the story, I deliberately arranged a touching plot of a father-son reunion. In fact, Jin Lan went quietly one night in the late eighties, he had no wife, sons, daughters, and no parents and brothers.
