Myths and legends
edit
Wu Zhi's Qinglong Palace originated from a myth and legend. Records of Historic Sites, Volume 19 of Wuzhi County Annals published in the Qing Daoguang edition, records: "Qinglong King Temple (Qinglong Palace) is located in Wanhuazhuang, the northeast road of county governance. Legend has it that Qinglong God pretended to be a poor boy and worked for the Gaos in this village during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty. He carved wood into whales during the day and watered the garden fields at night. When he had a bird's eye view of his trail, he saw Yi Long in the well in the clouds. It was particularly strange that his wife was a daughter. Then he suddenly saw it, and he dreamed that Gao said,' I'm not like you. If there is drought, I will go to Qinglong Cave to beg. When the ruler woke up, God had disappeared and his wife had died. What is left is the whale of Wenmu, which is naturally answered by prayer and recorded in the temple. There is also an inscription: "The Dragon King appeared in the Yongle period in the early Ming Dynasty. Every time there is a drought and rain, a temple will be built. The inscription of Qinglong Palace reads: "Qinglong Palace was built by Ding Jun, a former official of Jiaqing Dynasty". In the twenty-fifth year of Daoguang (1845), the inscription reads: "During Jiaqing period, the Emperor of the Town God heard something strange, so he was called' Qinglong Palace' because of a plaque". Sun Suyuan, the magistrate under the middle ridge above the Jade Emperor Pavilion, wrote in calligraphy: "In April of the eighteenth year of Qing Jiaqing, I went to Huanji and learned that the people of Wuzhi were founded together with Ren and Sun Suyuan. After I became independent, I will always be safe and sound. Under the eaves at the bottom of the Jade Emperor Pavilion, there is a sign of "Imperial Decree". Therefore, with the full support of Guanyin, the main building of Qinglong Palace, Jade Emperor Pavilion, Theater and Main Gate House, was rebuilt on the original site of Seiryuji in the 18th year of Jiaqing (18 13). Sun Suyuan, a magistrate of a county, was ordered to personally lead the imperial clan staff and personally renamed Seiryuji Qinglong Palace. The newly-built hall of Qinglong Palace is engraved with the words: "There was a drought in Guangxu for three years, and the members of the big government ... invited the imperial plaque, so the name of Qinglong Palace became more and more obvious." The treasure of Emperor Guangxu's imperial pen "Hewlett-Packard Zhongzhou" has two sides, one hanging in Qinglong Palace and the other hanging in Dragon Shrines of Qinglong Gorge in Taihang Mountain. Empress Dowager Cixi's imperial pen "Ji Ling Du Dong" has a plaque (now lost).
In August of the 22nd year of Guangxu (1886), Sun was appointed as the alternate magistrate of Wuzhi County, and wrote a couplet saying: "The gods have changed and entrusted to the world. So far, there are strange signs in Nomura, and the worship of sex and rain can be spread all over the world. Since then, Luodian has been sealed forever. " In Tongzhi for six years (1867), Bai Lun, the hereditary commander-in-chief in charge of the military road of Zhang, Wei and Huai River affairs in Hebei Province, wrote a couplet with a golden pen: "Since ancient times, the gods have been preventing disasters for hundreds of years, please have mercy on the people in 25 counties and pay tribute."
