Historical stories about Shanxi

1. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Taoism was basically formed in Shanxi, and Taoist temples were built in a few places. Records of Liangshan in Qing Dynasty recorded that there were Taoist priests in Wutai Mountain during Yongping years in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Taoism calls Wutai Mountain Zifushan, and Zifu Temple was once built. The Southern and Northern Dynasties is an important historical period for the development of Taoism in Shanxi.

Shanxi under the Northern Wei Dynasty was the source and activity center of Taoism in northern Shi Tian, and Taoism in Shanxi entered its first historical peak. The rulers of the Tang Dynasty wanted to consolidate their dominant position through Laozi Li Yong, and Shanxi Taoism entered another period of historical prosperity. In the Qing dynasty, Buddhism was respected and Taoism was suppressed, and the Taoist factions stagnated.

2. During the Spring and Autumn Period, a family of more than 300 people in Shaanxi was killed by military commanders, leaving only a newborn baby, Zhao's orphan.

In order to preserve Zhao's only blood, Zhao's orphan Princess Jin's mother entrusted Dr. Cao Ze to take the orphan away and hanged herself. Cheng Ying hid Scott's orphan in the medicine chest, trying to take him out of the palace gate, but he met Han Zeng, a subordinate of Tu'an Gu. Knowing that Zhongliang did this, Han Jue released Cheng Ying and the orphan Zhao, and then committed suicide.

Unable to find Zhao's orphans, they ordered all the children in the city from January to half a year old to be imprisoned, and said that if those who harbor Zhao's orphans don't hand over the children, they will all be killed. Desperate, he found gongsun and agreed with gongsun to replace Zhao's orphan with his own children.

After all the arrangements were made, Cheng Ying lied about Chu Jiu, Gongsun Zan, and led Tu'an Gu to Chu Jiu's home in Gongsun Zan to find fake orphans. After Tu'an Gu killed the fake orphan, Gongsun Chujiu committed suicide by jumping off a building.

There is a famous mountain in Shanxi called Mianshan. The scenery of Mianshan is really good, but without the help of understanding it, Mianshan is just an ordinary hill. Because of the introduction of Jie, Mianshan has a soul.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhong Er, the son of the State of Jin, fled and lived a hard life. He followed the meson and cut a piece of meat from his leg to satisfy his hunger.

Later, Zhong Er returned to the State of Jin and became a monarch (that is, Jin Wengong, one of the five tyrants in the Spring and Autumn Period). He rewarded all his followers who followed him into exile, but meson refused to accept the reward. He took his mother to Mianshan and refused to come out.

Jin Wengong was at his wit's end, so he had to let Yamakaji go. He thought that meson tui would be filial to his mother and would definitely come out with her. Who knows this torch meson mother and son burned to death.

In order to commemorate Jie Zitui, Jin Wengong ordered that no fire should be lit on this day every year, and every household can only eat cold food, which is the origin of the Cold Food Festival.

There is a hongdong county in Shanxi, which is small and famous. Hongtong is famous for Sophora japonica and Susan Prison.

"If you ask where your ancestors are, Shanxi Hongtong Sophora japonica", Sophora japonica is famous because it involves the large-scale immigration history of the Ming Dynasty. However, after nearly a thousand years of history, the pagoda tree has long since disappeared. This is the famous Su San prison, which is still the same as before.

Susan has made up her mind not to receive guests since Wang Shunqing left. Madame sold it to Shen, a wealthy Shanxi businessman, as a concubine. Shen's wife had an affair with Zhao Jiansheng, poisoned Shen and falsely accused Susan. The county magistrate took bribes and asked Susan to die. Old ZhaJie spoke bravely and explained Su San's trip to Taiyuan from Hongtong. On the way, Susan told her story and respected justice to comfort her.

5. The land in northern Shaanxi is barren, natural disasters are frequent, and the harsh living environment forces many people in northern Shaanxi to make a living outside their mouths. There is an old saying in Shanxi, "Hequ defends Texas, and it will not be collected for ten years and nine years." Men go outside and women dig wild vegetables, which fully shows that most people who go to the west are hungry people caused by natural disasters.

From the third year to the fifth year of Guangxu reign in Qing Dynasty, Shanxi and other provinces suffered from drought for three consecutive years, and the worst drought occurred in modern times, known as the "Seven Famines in butyl five", and it didn't even rain in some areas.

Population migration caused by natural disasters is most prominent in northern Shanxi, such as Xinzhou and Yanbei. The barren land and harsh natural environment in northern Shanxi forced a large number of people to leave their homes.

For example, "Yanggao is located in the northern fortress, with excellent sand moraine, high soil and yellow sand, and low soil everywhere. It is difficult to cultivate with alkali and brine ... The land is barren and the people are poor, so there is nothing to hide. In case of famine, they are displaced. "

In the harsh natural environment of barren land, cold climate and no stream irrigation, people in northern Shaanxi live in poverty. Every time there is a disaster, people have to be displaced and go out to make a living.
