Legend of Zuyuan
Sixianling
It is said that at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang led his troops to fight in the north and south, and attacked Poyang for a long time. When he was at a loss, he was suggested to visit Zhu Sheng, a counselor in Huizhou, for good advice. Zhu Yuanzhang, who was eager for talents, really rode a long journey day and night from Wuyuan, Jiangxi Province, crossing the mountains and mountains, crossing Zuyuan and heading straight to Jixi. But Zhu Sheng avoided and disappeared, but put a "crab array" at home early. Zhu Yuanzhang, who was extremely clever, immediately understood the situation and went back to fight according to the array. He was sure to win. After that, Zhu Sheng became Zhu Yuanzhang's confidant, and his wisdom of "building walls high, accumulating grain widely, and being king slowly" for his capital was extended to "digging deep, accumulating grain widely, and not seeking hegemony" by Chairman Mao several hundred years later. Of course, for Zuyuan people, the ancient mountain post road that the Ming emperor Lixian corporal once passed by is quite meaningful! So later generations built pavilions and steles here to enlighten the people. Unfortunately, the pavilion and stele were destroyed and disappeared during the cultural revolution. Only this story is left for generations.
Killing children and forbidding mountains
In ancient times, the patriarchs of five clans set clan rules to protect the ecology. Whoever goes to the mountain to cut trees will be beheaded! I don't want to go up the mountain and cut down trees soon. Do you really want to kill for trees? At first, the clan swab their eyes, but when the clan leader really wanted to kill his son, they begged for mercy one after another. But the clan leader was merciless and killed his relatives. From then on, no one had any evil thoughts about the tree. Although this is a legend, the mountain village surrounded by mountains has always been covered with green shade, and dozens of Taxus, camphor, Gouli and Liquidambar have extraordinary momentum, which seems to be a strong evidence of the long-standing legend of "killing children and forbidding mountains".
There is also a story. In the village, you will find a strange landscape: a huge yew stands on one leg like playing acrobatics on the edge of the winding ancient road! Standing under a big tree, you can't see the sky, full of vitality. However, when I looked at the foot, I could not help but gasp. I saw that the root had been hollowed out, and there were deep marks of axe cutting. Only the half of the joint could hold up the huge "giant umbrella". It turns out that in the age of madness, there were young people from other places who wanted to cut down ancient trees by night to sell money. Just as they were cutting down, someone came by and told them the story of "killing sons and forbidding mountains". When he heard it, he was scared to death. He cut half of it and ran away quickly, leaving behind this ancient tree with iron bones.
