Source of ancient books

Volume 5 o of the book collection of ancient and modern times - miraculous scriptures quoted from Suzhou Fu Zhi: "Zhinu temple. The temple is in huanggutang, Qili south of Taicang. In the fifth year of Xianchun of Song Dynasty, Zhu Xiangzu, the magistrate of Jiading County, rebuilt it. Therefore, according to the old legend, there are often two stars, Petunia and Zhinu, which come here. The female delimits the river with a golden grate, and the river overflows, so Petunia is not allowed to cross. There is a baifei River in the west of the village. The villagers are different from each other. It is a temple. There are two statues of old Li Niu and female. At the time of Jianyan, the scholar bureaucrats stayed away from Donggang. In the temple, the wall was inscribed with the following words: "when the Shang Dynasty started, the moon buried the wheel, and the black magpie bridge was full of body. When they heard that the only night of the auspicious season, why did they treat the people all day and night?" The villagers left Zhinu alone because they went to lead a cow. " Because the villagers went to lead the cattle, they kept the weaving girl alone. " The theory originally came from the article "Huanggu Zhinv" in volume 4 of Zhongwu Jiwen written by Gong Ming of Song Dynasty.
