audience hall

Zhenjun hall has experienced many vicissitudes. The most well preserved hall is Fenghuoshan style, with three rooms wide and three rooms deep. In front of the eaves, there is a pair of Panlong stone dwellings with Xikeng stone hanging carvings. The pillars are 4.3 meters high and 0.5 meters in diameter. In the gap between the Dragon bodies, the eight immortals cross the sea. The carvings are exquisite and vivid. They are the top art of stone carvings. The wood, brick and stone carvings of the whole hall are exquisite and have local characteristics.

In the center of the hall, there is a red face and black beard, the real emperor Zongze. Zongze was a marshal who fought against Jin in Song Dynasty. He fought with Jin soldiers 13 times and won many victories. Jin people were afraid of him and called him Zong grandfather. At the time of the victory of anti Jin, he was suppressed by Wang Shanqian and other moderates. He became ill with anger, gangrene on his back, and died in Yangzhou. Then why did he come to Xinchang?

In the third year of Dade of Yuan Dynasty (1299), there was a Shi Yi Dynasty in the East Village of Changzhao river. He was an official in Yangzhou. He was an official in the imperial court. Because of the corruption of the imperial court, his treacherous officials were in power, and he didn't want to be an official, so he resigned and went home to live in seclusion. One day, Yi chaogong led his family to return home from Yangzhou by boat. On the way home, there was always a boat attached to chishifu river. Yi chaogong was surprised. When he fished it out, it turned out to be a light stone statue with hands and feet and upright facial features. He took it back to his hometown and put it in Zhenjue temple of Wozhou mountain. The little monk of Zhenjue temple saw that the stone was very strange. It was useless to think about it, so he used it to support the gate. However, at night, Ming Ming was leaning on the gate. The next morning, the gate opened and it stood majestically outside. The little monk felt more and more strange. He tried again the third day, and it was still like this. The monk didn't believe it and went to the window of the building secretly at night. In the middle of the night, suddenly the door opened with a creak, and then red stone jumped out of the door. When the old monk saw it, he could not help reciting "Amitabha, holy stone" and did not dare to use it to support the gate any more.

The news soon spread that the people around were worried that the corn on butterfly mountain would be ruined by wild animals, so they rushed to Zhenjue temple and carried the red stone to butterfly mountain. That night, the wild animals did not come.

The people thank this red stone for bringing bricks, tiles and wood to build a temple on the mountain to offer sacrifices to him. However, these materials were put there, and before dawn, they were all moved to the Chapeng nest in duiping mountain. The young and middle-aged people in Xidong and Xixi all cried out the next day that they had to work hard. They all said that they had moved bricks and stones in their dreams last night. They expected that the red stone would show its spirit and build the foundation of the temple in the thorn canopy. So we built the temple with our hands and feet, which is now the Zhenjun hall. From then on, the crops in the mountains will no longer be damaged by wild animals. They will do good things for the people and protect the safety of the people.

Zongze is a patriotic general, and he is still patriotic and loyal to the king. When a fire broke out in the capital, the emperor saw a red faced man carrying water from a bamboo basket to put out the fire. The emperor asked him where he was from? I live in Wuzhou mountain, Kuaiji. The emperor sent people to Wuzhou mountain to know that it was Zongze. The emperor granted Zongze the title of "Jiutian Siming" and called him "shilao general". The "general" was not surnamed Shi. In order to avoid being investigated by the yuan army, he was surnamed Shi. In the 15th year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty, it was changed into "Zhenjue temple." Qing Kangxi Gengwu bestowed as the "real emperor.". In Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was granted three times by the imperial court. This "real king" is Marshal Zongze, who has been an official for a long time and has been praised by the people from generation to generation.
