Wag spinach" is the most famous legend of Bigan Temple. It is said that after Bigan was brutally betrayed by King Zhou, his loyal soul touched the heavens. The Jade Emperor sent Jiang Ziya to rescue him, so Bigan remained silent and rode south. When you reach the heart (that is, Xinxiang), you can grow a new heart. He hid his robes and said nothing, his face was earthy, and rode south. Unexpectedly, when he reached Makino, he encountered an old woman Daji had turned into and was blocking the road to sell water spinach.
Bigan asked: "Chinese vegetables can live without a heart, but what about people who have no heart?" The old woman replied: "Chinese vegetables can live without a heart, but people who have no heart will die. "After Bigan heard this, he vomited blood and fell from his horse to death. The loyal soul turned into a thousand-year-old green, and his red orifice seemed to leave a cloud.
To this day, Bigan still grows on the tomb and in the fields around the temple. Clumps of water spinach, with three leaves and no heart, are believed to be the result of Bigan's seven-hole elixir heart. The passage of history has erased people's memory of ancient historical facts and gradually evolved into this mysterious legend. To express the respect and sorrow for Bigan.

As the younger brother of Emperor Yi of the Shang Dynasty, Bigan was named Prime Minister. Emperor Yi died of illness. After succeeding to the throne, Bigan assisted with his position, worked hard to govern, and served the people diligently. The Yin and Shang dynasties became increasingly prosperous and prosperous. However, King Zhou subsequently indulged in wine and sex, favored treacherous ministers, and neglected loyal ministers. The Yin and Shang dynasties quickly embarked on the road to decadence. .
As a result, "Weizi went away, and Bi Gan died as a slave." It is said that when Bigan died, his heart and liver were dug out by King Zhou, and the blood was stained on the Star Picking Platform. In order to show Bigan's loyalty, the star-picking platform in Chaoge of the Yin Dynasty was later changed to a heart-picking platform. A stone square was built on it, with three simple and powerful inscriptions "Zhonglie Square". A tragic couplet was engraved on the middle stone pillar: "Strength, loyalty, benevolence and courage." In short, it’s miserable, cool, sad, and sad!” is the best compliment to Bigan.
