The origin of Wusu langzi lake, whether true or false, is moving and memorable

historical background

In the 13th year of Qianlong reign of Emperor Gaozong of Qing Dynasty (1748), there was a severe drought in Ulan Maodu grassland in zhasaketu banner (now Horqin Right Wing Front Banner), resulting in the death of groups of livestock, and Mongolian residents were struggling in hardships. At this time, a family of Genghis Khan's descendants gave birth to a son. Because they were eager for water, they named him Wusu (Mongolian: water), hoping that he would bring prosperity to the grassland. Xiao Wusu was just sensible and always liked to play in rivers, streams and mountain springs. Until she was in her twenties, she would not go herding or working. He was called "Wusu prodigal son" because he didn't do his job.

Grassland drought

When Wusu langzi was twenty-five years old, there was another drought in the grassland. He led a group of little friends to dig springs to find water. He really dug out some clear streams and solved the temporary difficulties. However, the drought continued to spread, and the clear streams dug out were drying up day by day. People were looking for their own way to survive, but Wusu prodigal son was not discouraged to dig down. He was so tired that he fell asleep in the big earth pit. In his dream, an old man with flowing silver beard instructed him to go to the lotus flower temple in the east of Taonan (now the Gegen Temple of Horqin Right Wing Front Banner) to pray for the living Buddha of Gegen.

Lotus Temple

According to the old man's instructions, the next day, Wusu prodigal son kowtowed three times in one step and walked towards the Lotus Temple. After walking for more than a month, I finally came to lianhuatu temple. However, on both sides of the main hall's first gate, a pair of stone lions stand looking at each other; inside the second gate, there are four statues of heavenly kings standing 8 feet tall. As the prodigal son of Wusu was dazzled, a little lama came up and drove him away. The prodigal son of Wusuli immediately threw himself to the ground and complained bitterly about the hardships he had suffered all the way. The little lama was moved by his sincerity and led him into the main hall. In an instant, the living Buddha in Gegen temple asked him what he had come for, pondered for a while, and said, "there is a way, but you have to sacrifice your life. Can you do it?" The prodigal son of Wusu raised his head and said, "as long as we can find water and make the herdsmen live and work in peace and contentment, I will be willing to go up the mountain and down the sea of fire." When the living Buddha saw that he was kind-hearted and strong willed, he told him truthfully: "there is a rose peak 50 Li to the north of Harlan Aershan. The stone peak is crisscrossed, straight and precipitous, like a sword straight into the clouds. There is a bright pearl on the edge of the sword. You have to take down the night pearl in the dark midnight and put it in the big earth pit you dug. There will be a river that will never dry up However, it's very difficult to climb this peak. If you don't get it right, you may fall to death! " Wusu prodigal son cut off the railway: "in order to the prosperity of his hometown, the small people regard death as home." After laughing twice, the living Buddha said, "even if you risk your life to take down the night pearl and get water, you can't drink it. Otherwise, you will turn from an admirable hero into an ugly monster, and the river will soon dry up! So when it's done, you have to stay away from your hometown. " Wusu prodigal son firmly said: "in order to save the lives of the grassland, I can do it!"

Back home

Wusu returned to his hometown and climbed to rose peak on a dark night. I don't know how many times I've climbed. I've fallen all over and I'm hungry. I can't climb any more. Suddenly, he saw the living Buddha Ge Gen push him up and take down the night pearl. He seemed to give birth to wings and float like flying clouds. The next morning, he fell to his hometown and couldn't wait to throw the shining night pearl into the big earth pit he had painstakingly dug. See the night pearl in the pit "Hula" to rotate, and then "boom" a loud noise, the bottom of the pit gushed out a bright water column, its momentum surging, unstoppable. Before long, it flowed into a wide river. The herdsmen rushed to tell each other and cheered in unison. They all said with one voice: "Wusu prodigal son has brought good luck to the grassland, green mountains and green waters, and prosperity to the six animals!" The auspicious symbol is "Wulan" (Mongolian: red), so people call this river "Wulan River".

Social average

Just as people happily held the river in their hands and wanted to have a taste of it, an old herdsman proposed: "this first water should be given to the prodigal son of Wusu!" However, he could not drink it at all, but it was not easy to explain. At this time, a whirlwind came to lift him up and send him to a place with green mountains, green trees and far away from the red dust. What made him even more unexpected was that the old man and Gegen living Buddha, who had instructed him in his dream, had built a wooden house here and waited for his arrival. The three entered the room and sat at a table full of rare game. The old man and the living Buddha raised their glasses frequently to congratulate him and wash the dust for him.

The scenery is pleasant

When they were drinking heavily, the living Buddha said, "this place is like a fairyland. It's very pleasant. If there is another lake to match each other, wouldn't it be beautiful?" Hearing this, the old man took out the gourd in his arms and poured out a full glass of water, saying: "Wusu prodigal son, you pour this glass of water into the valley surrounded by mountains on three sides. When we are full of wine and food, we will pour out a lake with blue waves!" The prodigal son of Wusu went happily, knelt on the ground and poured the water into the valley. After drinking, they went out of the house and saw a sparkling lake. The green mountains, pines and cypresses were reflected in the water. The scenery was beautiful! The living Buddha named the lake "Wusu langzi Lake". The old man took advantage of the wine, selected several kinds of leaves of flowers and trees, and threw them into the lake. In the blink of an eye, groups of crucian carp, carp and loach swim in the lake. The living Buddha took out a wooden fish from his arms and put it into the lake. Soon it became a strange fish. The living Buddha called it "old head fish" and told Wusu prodigal son: "this fish is fat and delicious. Eating it can prolong life! You can enjoy it when it's multiplied. " Then he told him, "what you should do, what you should have! In the future, we should do our best and not make mistakes at will! " Wusu prodigal son lived here in peace and order for a hundred years. After that, he emerged as an immortal and guarded Wang Bishui year by year
