The legend of tianfeng tower
Ningbo, facing the choppy East China Sea, is the intersection of Yongjiang River, Yaojiang River and Fenghua River. One year, Zhaobaoshan in Zhenhai went out to make waves in Sharkticon. Since then, Ningbo has experienced frequent floods, rough waves and fidgeting. There was an old stonemason in Siming Mountain at that time. He hated it when he saw the turtle fish essence doing evil. One morning, he suddenly saw the golden light shining on the top of Siming Mountain, so he climbed to the top. When he saw it, it turned out to be a bright red gem shining there. So it took him 7749 days to chisel this gem into a shining pearl. On this day, the turtle essence came to make waves again and flooded Ningbo city. The old stonemason came down from Siming Mountain with this dazzling pearl. As soon as the turtle saw the sword-like treasure light, it fled to the bottom of the sea. And this treasure light finally killed it. At the moment, the waves on the river are calm and the sea recedes. The old stonemason is determined to build a tower in the center of Ningbo to preserve this treasure. When people heard about it, they all came to participate. Moving stones, transporting sand and mud, working day and night. The craftsman who built the tower packed sandbags bag by bag, built a tower and piled sandbags. The next year, when the tower was completed, he put the sphere on the highest floor. Since then, this tower and the orb on it have been used as evil spirits.
Nursery rhymes in Tianfenglou
Heaven sealed the tower, eighteen sides, the Tang Dynasty built heaven sealed the tower, sand and mud piled up into a tower, Master Lu Ban will be stupid. Dong Xun (Yuan)' s poem "Climbing to Heaven to Seal the Tower"
Climbing the dangerous tower, the heavenly teacher makes a noble apprentice. Chihiro rings a small fruit, and a few flowers press the spring mountain. The birds stood firm by the fence, and the clouds were idle. 10 years ago, I began to smile as soon as I approached. Mingzhou, Baota Town, unknown weather, I was tired when I boarded the plane. Look up at the silver-haired man and see a hundred clouds. Three thousand worlds far from the sea are higher than twelve dusty floors; Suddenly I heard the bell ringing below and looked back at the stars hanging on the eaves.
