China Dictionary of Names, Fujian Annals, Yongtai County Annals, Minqing County Annals, Du Min Bieji, Yi Jian Zhi and You Guan Ji Wen all have similar descriptions of Zhang Shengren's life: "Zhang Shengren, a native of Yongfu (Yongtai), works as a reward hoe. I am unfamiliar with books, and suddenly I am writing. I am a monk. Most of the words were written with his left hand, or with his complete fingers ... "Since then, Zhang has traveled to Minqing, Youxi, Dehua, Yongchun, Putian, Xianyou and other places in this city and surrounding counties. At that time, the government of the Southern Song Dynasty was corrupt, the society was chaotic, and ghosts (called Wu Tong ghosts) appeared everywhere, endangering the people. Seeing this, Zhang showed great power, exorcised evil spirits, punished evil and promoted good, and saved the people in from the mire. The Legend of the Sage, circulated by the Han people, describes its deeds in detail: in the year of Ding Chou in Shaoxing, the sage "went to Youxi at the age of 19 to raise funds to build a bridge pavilion"; In the fourth year of Guangxi, "Rebuilding Jianning Shuixi Bridge" coincided with the drought in Zhangzhou. "The sage wrote the Dharma in an instant, and it rained cats and dogs in an instant"; In the afternoon of Shaoxing, there was a drought in Minqing, and the sage "led the cow to cut off the water and cut through the irrigated dry land"; In the year of the Reform Movement of 1898 in Xichun, Youxi "made the people suffer from the plague" and the sage "looked for herbs to save the sick people". Zhang Shengren paid evil for evil spirits, and always cherished the ambition of saving the people and the world. In autumn in Shaoxing, Dehua hooligans were rampant, and saints were miraculous, and they surrendered the "five ghosts" and let the people live a healthy life. Every time a saint travels around the world, he preaches the Taoist causal truth that "evil is rewarded with evil and good with good". The road is bumpy, and the sword is drawn to cut the demon; In case of drought, dig ditches to attract nectar; In case of sick people, looking for herbs to cure diseases and do good deeds are endless. In the tenth year of Xichun (1 183), the saints traveled in Jinsha, the fourteenth capital of Minqing, and achieved good results. He sat on the boulder in Jiulongtan and ascended to heaven. At the age of 45. The villagers built Jinsha Hall with their own body statues to worship, which is the "ancestral hall" of Zhang Shengjun; At that time, Yongfu people built a square pot temple and worshipped it with its head, which was called "Mother Temple". Fanghu Temple is located under the cliff of Yanshifeng in Pangu Township, covering an area of more than 3,000 square meters. It is magnificent, surrounded by trees and bamboos, and has a quiet environment. It is listed as a cultural relic protection unit and has become a tourist attraction.
