Related allusions

In Chapter 54 of the romance of the Three Kingdoms, the story of "seeing the bridegroom in the Tai Buddhist temple of Wu state, uncle Liu's bridal chamber and his wife" takes place here. After the battle of Chibi, Liu Bei refused to return Jingzhou in the Soochow Dynasty. Zhou Yu offered a trick to Sun Quan. Using his younger sister sun Shangxiang as bait, he set up a beauty trick to induce Liu Bei to come to Jingkou for marriage. He took the opportunity to take the hostage to return Jingzhou. Zhuge Liang made the marriage between sun and Liu come true, and made Soochow lose his wife and become a soldier. This is the story sung in Peking Opera.

Ganlu Temple recruits relatives and makes them come true. Liu Bei is a cheap girl. Sun Quan is dumb and eats Coptis chinensis. They know it by heart. On this day, when they were traveling together, Liu Bei saw a huge stone in the pool, so he pulled out his sword and prayed silently: "if I can return to Jingzhou and become a king, the stone under the sword will crack. If I die here, I can't cut the stone." When the sword fell, the stone cracked. Sun Quan was there and asked clearly. "Why does Xuande split this stone with his sword?" Liu Bei is naturally right and wrong. Sun Quan also pulled out his sword and cleaved to another stone. The sword fell and opened. Sun Quan asked what the divination was, but Liu Bei did not ask. They looked at each other, looked up at the sky and laughed, leaving behind the two broken stones. Later generations called them "sword testing stones".

There is a stone on the west side of duojinglou in Ganlu temple, which looks like a sheep but not a sheep. It is said that on the eve of the battle of Chibi, Liu Bei came to Jingkou and Sun Quan accompanied him on a tour of the iron urn city. Next to the stone on the back peak, they set up a alliance to fight against Cao. There is a path between two cliffs in the mountain, called liumajian.

Folklore

According to legend, one day Sun Quan and Liu Bei were drinking in the Ganlu temple, and the river was windy. When Liu Bei saw a boat on the river, he could not help admiring that "people in the south are good at boating, and people in the north are good at riding, so he believed it." When Sun Quan heard that he was not happy, he said to Liu Bei, "who said that people in the south are not good at riding." after that, he ordered him to lead the horse around. Sun Quan left his seat, got on the horse, and galloped down the mountain along Liuma stream. Liu Bei was unwilling to fall behind. He flew to chase after Sun Quan. This rock trail was named "Liuma stream" because of the story of sun and Liu's horse racing.

Beigu Pavilion, also known as Jijiang Pavilion, is located at the top of the back peak of Beigu mountain. It is said that after Liu Bei's westward expedition to Sichuan, Sun Quan pretended that his mother was ill and cheated sun Shangxiang to return to Wu. One day, Mrs. sun heard that Liu Bei was defeated and died in the army. She was very sad. She cried at Xiyao and died in the river. Later generations also called Beigu Pavilion "Jijiang Pavilion" in memory of Mrs. sun. Ganlu temple is famous for its iron tower. Ganlu temple tower, built in the Song Dynasty, has nine levels and eight sides, with exquisite shape. The original tower collapsed in the Ming Dynasty due to the tsunami, leaving only the lowest three floors. In 1960, when the Zhenjiang Cultural Management Association was repairing the tower of Ganlu temple, it found an underground palace three and a half feet away from the base of the tower.

Layout structure

In Ganlu temple, there is a rectangular stone box in the underground palace. There are small stones in the big stone box. More than 700 Buddhist relics have been excavated from the stone letters, and the number is unprecedented. One of the most precious is the 11 Sakyamuni Buddhist relics buried in a gold coffin and a silver coffin in a stone letter, which was later confirmed by scholars.

Luo Yin, a poet in the late Tang Dynasty, wrote a poem entitled "Shiyang in front of Miaoshan in Runzhou." the purple bearded sanggai ponders here, but the cruel stone still exists, and things can be found. The Han Ding is not in peace, and he talks about it. Although the Chu Dynasty is beautiful and willing to work together? " This proves that before the Tang Dynasty, the story of sun Liu united against Cao in Beigu mountain was widely spread. In 1205 ad, Xin Qiji, a great poet of the Southern Song Dynasty, ascended Beigu mountain to express his feelings, leaving an eternal masterpiece. "Where to look at China, you can see the beautiful Beigu building. The rise and fall of the ages are long. The Yangtze River is rolling. As a young man, the southeast war is not over. Who are the heroes in the world? Cao Liu. Having a son should be like sun Zhongmou. “
