Speaking of this sacred stone, it can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
It is reported that Confucius traveled around the world, preached benevolence and righteousness, won the admiration of ordinary people, and was praised as a saint by the world. Because Confucius has read books all over the world, he can be said to be knowledgeable and broad-minded, but he also has an endless desire to learn. Along the way, he heard that there is a masterpiece-gobbledygook in Chishan, Shidao. The contents of that heavenly book are rich and colorful, including all the knowledge of Pangu since the beginning of the world. Whoever can get this heavenly book to study, can conquer heaven, reverse Gankun and control everything in the world.
So Confucius said to his 3,000 children: Everything is inferior, only reading is high. There is nothing faster than studying hard ... I heard that there are gobbledygook in Chishan. Who can show it to me?
Lu Yun, his favorite student, said: Only fools want to get it. Lutz packed his bags, set up camp and headed straight for Chishan. On the way, he stayed at the post office. In one night's dream, he dreamed that the sacred book of Chishan was received by the official of Chishan, saying that the sacred book of Chishan was a masterpiece of the collector of sacred books, and the secret could not be revealed. This masterpiece has become a great sacred stone standing on Chishan and an eternal treasure. ...
Luz woke up from a dream, sighed heavily, and said to himself: It is doomed by heaven that it is futile to get the sacred book of Chishan ... There is a huge stone standing proudly not far from the southbound corner of Tianmentan in Chishan Scenic Area. Don't underestimate this stone. Everyone knows that it came to the local area. For thousands of years, it has been regarded as a "child stone" by people near and far.
Speaking of this kind of children's stone, the locals all know such a story. It is said that the prince of the East China Sea Dragon King often quarrels with his wife because of trivial matters, and it is inevitable that he will be beaten by the Dragon King, and he is often beaten black and blue. The wife of the Dragon Prince could not bear this bitter abuse, so she fled the Crystal Palace on a dark night and was trapped on a rock that was still submerged in the sea. ...
When the Dragon King of the East China Sea heard the news that his daughter-in-law was beaten by his son, he flew into a rage and cursed a dragon prince, forcing him to find a wife, saying that if he could not find a wife, he would never enter the Dragon Palace again and be exiled to the ends of the earth for life. ...
The dragon prince searched for seven days and seven nights, but his wife was still missing. He was so sleepy that he climbed the reef his wife had climbed, feeling sleepy and regretful. In infinite melancholy, I couldn't help Lacrimosa, my heart ached, and I gradually fell asleep unconsciously. In my dream, I saw his wife's eyes full of anger and said angrily, "You ... you are so cruel and heartless. I can kill me. I shouldn't have killed two poor little lives in my belly-twin children. " I gave birth to two pieces of "heart meat" on this reef, and I will take them to find a quiet place on earth and never return to the Dragon Palace.
The dragon prince trembled and opened his eyes sadly. When he woke up, it was a dream. He wiped his eyes. Suddenly, I vaguely saw three words on the rock-Tong Shi.
He looked around and pondered over it, feeling like frying in a frying pan. This is clearly his twin daughter, and he regrets it.
The stars are changing, the sea is changing and the sea is gradually retreating. The exposure of this reef has become a miracle on land. People who come to seek novelty are in an endless stream, some draw pictures, some recite poems and some make wishes.
Besides, Mrs. Wendeng County Magistrate, who is outside Chishan, has been attached to the magistrate for several years and still has no children. After a long time, the county magistrate gave her the cold shoulder. As a result, she was indecisive and out of her wits. From time to time, she comes to Children's Stone to drown her sorrows. Tears rolled down her cheeks, her beauty was lost and the monument even became fragile. Slowly, she was desperate and would die as soon as she did it. She closed her eyes, gritted her teeth, and was about to hit the child's stone. Just then, suddenly a hand gripped his clothes tightly: "Madam, why do you want to commit suicide so much?" A white-haired old man grabbed her and asked.
Madame didn't say anything, tears kept flowing and her clothes were soaked with tears. For a long time, my wife told me that she was infertile, that her husband didn't care about her own business, and that she was dead. ...
The old man listened and said, "If you want to have a baby, I'll give you two coppers, and you can only throw them twice. You can just sit back and throw it on the rocks by the roadside. As long as the head is up, you can have a baby, and the tail is up, which is a daughter. If copper coins fall unsteadily on the rocks, there will be no children or daughters. This is a secret and must not be revealed to others. "
When the lady heard about it, she was very suspicious. She saw that the old man was sincere, honest and full of energy, and threw the copper coins in his hand at the rocks. With a creak, the copper coin fell firmly on the rock, facing upwards. It is a son. The lady was so happy that she threw the copper coin at the rock again and stood firmly on the rock, opposite a daughter. The old man smiled and said, "Madam, you won the lottery. Congratulations! A year later, you will be very lucky, you will have a pair of twins ... "
After hearing this, the lady was beaming and very happy. When she wanted to thank the old man, he disappeared.
A year later, the county magistrate's wife gave birth to a boy and a girl twins. Soon after they landed, they were able to speak, understand ancient and modern times and become local stories.
Since then, the county magistrate and his wife have been reconciled, and the sun and the moon are sweet, which can be described as sesame blossoms.
After the news that the county magistrate's wife threw a copper coin came out, some newlyweds came to throw a copper coin to try. They have tried everything and made no mistakes. This custom has been handed down from generation to generation, as evidenced by poems:
Millennium vicissitudes are children's stones, which strengthen the bones and strengthen the foundation.
Throwing boards is only for children, and future generations will continue to burn incense. Standing outside the door of the Three Buddha Halls in the Fahua Courtyard of Chishan, looking south, you can see a hill about 80 meters high and 280 meters long on the opposite hill, which looks like a giant Buddha lying on the ground, relaxed and sleepy. This is the wonder that amazed guests at home and abroad-the giant Buddha facing the sky.
According to legend, in the eighth year of Yongping in the Eastern Han Dynasty (AD 65), Emperor Hanming slept in the palace at night and dreamed of a god who was several feet tall and had a broad belly. He flew in front of the golden and sunny temple, mumbling something, but he didn't know what to say. Emperor Han Ming woke up in a cold sweat, not knowing whether it was good or bad, whether it was a disaster or a blessing. He asked his liegeman for instructions. Yi Fu said: "My view of Zhouyi Collection is a prediction that those who have attained enlightenment in the West, nicknamed Buddha, will be blessed by generations and will come here in a few days. Your Majesty's dream, Yoshiya. It is really rich and very prosperous. "
When Emperor Hanming heard about it, God sent messengers to the Western Regions to worship Buddha. The emissary arrived in Da Yue and met two Indian monks, Morten and Zhu Falan, who were lobbying for Buddhism there. They can see hundreds of thousands of words of Brahma Buddhist scriptures and Sakyamuni's white felt Buddha statues. The messengers of the Eastern Han Dynasty respectfully invited two eminent monks to preach Buddhism in the Han Dynasty. Brahman rode a white horse and returned to Luoyang, the ancient capital, with Buddhist scriptures and Buddha statues. Ming Di attached great importance to the two monks, regarded them as distinguished guests, and personally greeted and invited them to meditate in crack hon temple. At the beginning of the following year, a temple was ordered to be built at the northern end of Yong Men Waiyu Road in the west of Luoyang, and it was named "White Horse Temple" to praise and commemorate the unremitting efforts of White Horse to carry scriptures. The plastic Buddha statue of Sakyamuni is enshrined in the temple. On both sides of the giant Buddha statue are the venerable monk Ye Jia and Ananda, one of the top ten disciples. After the completion of the Buddhist Temple, Ming Di bowed down, and hundreds of civil and military officials and ordinary people came in an endless stream. At that time, the fragrance curled up and the spirit floated.
As the saying goes, the weather is unpredictable, so talk when you should. In 446 AD, in order to consolidate the feudal centralization of authority headed by the emperor and maintain the rule, Emperor Daowu of the Northern Wei Dynasty ordered the destruction of temples, the demolition of courtyards and the banning of Buddhism throughout the country. In a blink of an eye, the temple was destroyed, and the white horse temple, Moteng, who was handed down from generation to generation by his disciples, presided over Buddhism, carried scriptures and fled east overnight. After a long journey, I came to the foot of Chishan one day, but I saw Wang Yang in the east, where huge waves were in the way, and the peaks in the west were connected, with deep valleys and deep forests. In desperation, he plunged into the path of Xishan. In addition, Shen Ming in Chishan, which was sealed here by Jiang Shang, has been uneasy for several days. The number of days has been set, and he has calculated it. Recently, a monk will take refuge here, so he has been looking for it. Today, Shen Ming was overjoyed when he saw the arrival of Dharma, and hurriedly bowed down to meet him, explained the reason and gave a banquet to welcome Dharma. Dharma was so grateful that Shen Ming said, "When the Buddha met, Dharma said," Buddhism has been introduced to China for 500 years. Unfortunately, I encountered this disaster. Today, you and I met, this is fate, great! Shen Mingdao: "Monk, you have been tired for several days. "。 Settle down and rest first, and then come back tomorrow for advice. "
That night, Dharma tossed and turned, trying to learn from Master, and he has been extremely careful since his autobiography. Now, when disaster strikes suddenly, we are caught off guard. We can't protect the law. How can we meet Master? Fortunately, the classics handed down from generation to generation are still well preserved. Shen Ming is open-minded, honest and ready to help others. Buddhist scriptures entrust him with infallibility, and I will tell him tomorrow.
The next day, when Dharma met the wise god, he poured out everything in his heart: "Buddhism came out, won the hearts of the people and spread widely." Today, the emperor is against the Tao, the country has no peace, and the Buddha has no place to live. I entrust this book to you, and I hope you will spare no effort to preserve it. Later, when the light came, Buddhism was introduced. I am very lucky! " The wise God replied, "It is our duty to protect the Buddha and protect the law. Monks can rest assured. Chishan is also a place with beautiful scenery and outstanding people. You might as well stay here for a while and stand by and preach Buddhism together. "Dharma nodded in agreement.
He has never forgotten the Buddha since the Buddhism was left behind. One day, he climbed to the top of the stone tablet, looked at the vast sea in the east, listened to the voice of Lin Tao around him, and felt deeply in his heart. At this moment, the wind blew hard, and in an instant, the world was dark, and the mountains were full of sand and stones. After the hurricane stopped, Dharma disappeared, but where he stood, a statue of Dharma lay high in the sky, and later generations had poems:
She looked serene and carefree, sleeping for thousands of years.
The stars have changed, and the Buddha remains in my heart.
Worship pilgrims, incense filled day and night.
Good will be rewarded, good will be rewarded, and prosperity will last forever. Hongmen Stone is located halfway up the mountain on the south slope of the main peak of Chishan Mountain. It is called the Hongmen Stone, because it is like a gate, tightly closed, because it is red. According to legend, in the early days, there lived a young man in the Red Gate. He came here to practice on the orders of the old gentleman, and he can't leave without success for 500 years. Over time, many monsters waited for an opportunity to seize the cave, but in the end they were helpless and ended in failure, because young people had the secret of opening and closing the door.
One night, a young girl suddenly came here. Before the boy asked questions, the girl begged the boy to help her. After learning about the girl's life experience, the boy hesitated and decided to save her, so he took advantage of the heavy night and sent the girl away. When the boy returned to the red door, he couldn't open it. For a moment, he was utterly confused. Just then, a flash of lightning ripped through the sky, followed by earth-shattering thunder. The boy disappeared after the thunder. People say that young people make the old man angry and set up a monument to the heavenly master to prevent the red door from opening, so there is a folk saying that "the monument will not fall down, but the red door will not open".
There is also a saying that one day, a tourist came here and saw the red stone moving, the cave door was open, and the letter went in. He saw a dignified girl driving a donkey and grinding millet (millet) on a stone mill. A crane sent an old man out to meet him and was very attentive to him. When leaving, the old man grabbed a handful of millet as a gift. Halfway up the mountain, tourists think that millet is not precious and it is inconvenient to walk with their palms. They scattered millet in the mountains, went home, told their wives and looked at their palms. A closer look shows that the millet shell left between fingers is shiny, but it is gold. It's dawn. Xiaomi is a golden bean. Immediately rushed back to the cave and closed the door. It happened that some villagers came directly to ask when to open again. The mountaineer pointed to the stone tablet on the opposite mountain and said, "The stone tablet is crooked and the red door is open." At this moment, another cowherd came in and interjected, "The stone tablet is crooked, so don't sit on the Zen stone."
Open. "Who knows, a word broke the secret, the red door won't open from now on. The closed red door left a vision for people. Rumor has it: "There are 18 pieces of gold foil hidden in the cave, one of which is won, and half of Shandong is bought. "
Therefore, people who seek wealth often come to burn incense and bow down, knocking at the door for treasure. Up to now, the pine forest near the cave can't grow and is often burned by incense paper.
Legend has it that there are not only treasures in the Red Gate Cave, but also a jade palace in Qionglou, which can be boarded in Shinto. There was a monk who dreamed of God at night and told him that the Red Gate had been opened and he could ascend to heaven. The monks immediately got up, put on their clothes, and ran to the Red Gate. I don't want the red gate to be closed, and all the monks sincerely ascended to heaven, waiting for a long time, and turned into a stone man, named monk stone. At this time, the monks rushed to the Red Gate, and the scriptures, monk's caps and monk's boots they dropped all the way turned into stones. This scene can be seen on the hillside west of the entrance to the cave.
