Source legend

This name, according to legend, has a legend:

Once upon a time, there was a member of the Ma family village behind Mount Tai. He colluded with the government to occupy the famous mountains and rivers around him. He was rich and powerful. He wantonly oppressed the people, occupied the women of the people, did evil things and ran rampant in the countryside. The people in the village hated him very much. Because his surname is Ma and he is so vicious, people call him "Bumblebee".

The Bumblebee has a tenant, Ma Lao. Ma Lao has a pair of yellow flower girls. They are 28 years old. Although they were born in a poor family and lost their mother when they were young, they have thick eyebrows and big eyes. Who in the village doesn't praise Ma Lao's two Golden Phoenix.

Although the bumblebee is over 60 years old, he has long been interested in the sisters of the Ma family. He wants to snatch them. On this day, the Bumblebee yelled Ma to the hall and said, "boss, I think your two daughters are old and big. It's time to find a mother-in-law. I've been looking after this relative for a long time. They look like me. They have a lot of wealth. They've been married. They can't eat enough chicken, duck and fish, wear enough silk and satin, and enjoy endless wealth. Boss, what do you think? "

Boss Ma has long seen that he has a ghost in his heart. It's the weasel who pays new year's greetings to the chicken. He didn't have a good heart, so he quickly said, "thank you for your kindness. I've already promised my daughter to someone else. "

The Bumblebee closed the door and got angry. He yelled to the boss: "to put it bluntly, I'm going to make a decision for you two girls. I'll give them or not. Unless they die tonight, they will be married tomorrow morning. "

When boss Ma heard this, it was like a thunderbolt on a clear day. His daughter was his lifeblood. How could he push them into the fire pit and give them to the beast? He begged to Ma Feng: "my family is poor and poor, and my daughter is ugly. How can she be worthy of you. Please give us a break. "

"Well! Don't be disrespectful. It's a betrothal gift. Go home and get ready. "With that, drive the horse out of the door.

When Ma came home, he seemed to have lost his soul. Bumblebees have sores on their heads and pus under their feet. They are rotten and can do anything. The eldest brother was so anxious that he only hated that there was no way to go to heaven and no way to go to the earth, so he had to tell his daughter about it. After that, the father and daughter wept bitterly. The two sisters had to face each other with death. The eldest brother quickly persuaded them: "your mother died early. I brought you up. If you die, what's the point of living without me? "He thought for a moment and said," there is no way out. It seems that I have to become a monk in Qingyun nunnery of houshiwu. Don't blame me for being cruel. This is what your father can't do. Naturally, the two sisters know the hardships of being a monk, but they look at my father with a sad face, old and weak. If he dies, who will take care of him in the future? The sisters agreed. In the evening, father and daughter went straight to Qingyun nunnery.

They came to the nunnery, visited the nunnery master and explained their intention. The nunnery Master said slowly, "the door of Buddhism is open, and the good come in. This is the pure place of Buddhism. The Buddha is in charge. The Buddha is blessed. Amitabha! "Boss Ma arranged for his daughter, said goodbye to the nunnery master, and rushed back to his hometown in the starry night.

In the early morning of the next day, Ma Laoda was ready to go down to the ground, and he was called by the hornet. Bumblebee sneered: "boss, Qingyun nunnery is a good place. Hum! The monkey king jumped one hundred and eight thousand miles, but he didn't jump out of the palm of the Tathagata. Every plant on this mountain is my eyes and ears. If you want to escape from me, there's no way! I want you to see me marry your daughter. "With that, I'll take the sedan chair and escort the horse to Qingyun nunnery.

It turned out that the nunnery master had been having an affair with the Bumblebee for a long time, and the sister of the horse family became a monk. The nunnery master sent someone to report the Bumblebee that night. At this moment, when the nunnery Master heard the hornet arrive, he went out of the mountain gate to meet Yuanying and treat each other warmly. After the ceremony, Ma Feng said, "master of the nunnery, I want to marry you here. What's the idea of the nunnery? "The nunnery master quickly complimented," thank you for your good fortune. It's the honor of our nunnery to get married here. I've sent a message to ask the Ma sisters to dress up. Please wait a moment. "Then he and Dama Feng smile.

The Bumblebee and the master of the nunnery were having a good dream when a little nun came and yelled, "it's not a big deal! Master of the nunnery, sister Ma escaped and jumped off the cliff. "The nunnery master was flustered, and the Bumblebee was silly.

Boss Ma saw the old relationship between the nunnery master and the Bumblebee just now, and his heart was chilly. When he heard that his daughter jumped off the cliff, he was even more distressed. He couldn't help laughing and said, "ha ha ha... Buddha's pure land, Buddha's blessing, go to hell! There is no way for the poor to live in this world. Daughter, wait for me. "With that, he bumped into the incense table and died in front of the Bodhisattva.

But Ma's sisters, the nuns who used to help them with their dressing, were very sympathetic when they learned about their lives, so they let them escape from the back door secretly. Unfortunately, they were found and chased by the servants of the bumblebee. There is no way to escape in the vast mountain forest. The two sisters are running. There is an abyss in front of them. Seeing that the people behind are about to catch up with them, the Ma sisters look at each other, and they join hands and jump off the cliff.

Later, in the place where they jumped off the cliff, there were two pine trees in line. The branches were connected and the leaves were connected. It was like hand in hand. People named it sister pine. "

Jiugong Mountain

Sister pines are two pine trees standing side by side. One is as graceful as sister, and the other is as charming as sister.

history

In the poem strange pine slope, the poet of Qing Dynasty said: "snow buries the pass, and the common pines fall. In the year of Yao, there were two cranes in the cloud Strange Songpo, also known as Shiziping, is 6.8 kilometers away from Jiugong Town, which is the gateway to Jiugong. Here, the spring is full of water and rocks. It is full of mountain scenery. In the past, there was a ten Zhang tall "Wannian pine" planted in the Han Dynasty, with old branches and ten mu of horizontal branches. The roots and bones of the trees were like car covers. It's like a rolling dragon. Its beard is erect. When there's no wind, it's covered with tiny branches. It moves all over the body. When the wind blows, it's full of angry waves. It's strange in shape and spirit. Therefore, it's called "strange pine slope". Once built, the crane pavilion was under the ancient pine. The crane was attached to the pine, and the pine beckoned the crane. It's a pity that this ten thousand year old pine was destroyed by snow. Today, strange pine slope is the only way for tourists to climb. The strange branches and rocks here are naturally interesting. Hundreds of Exotic Pines have gone through great calamities. They have been chopped, burned, blasted or crushed by thunder and snow. Only dozens of Exotic Pines with exotic branches and poles and Exotic Pines with "special functions" have been left. They are all about 350 years old. Meng yanghao, a poet of the Ming Dynasty, lamented in his poem shengsongpo: "strange pines on the slope, strange pines on the slope, empty memories of the five doctors of that year.". Now, the "old monster" returns to heaven, and the "new monster" is born, becoming a rare "quesong family" in China. Generation after generation, maybe there is a mysterious mother of strange pine under the strange pine slope! Standing in the welcoming Matsushita of Huaying, you can expect a pair of "sister Matsushita" holding their heads and knees
