Wengzhong road Shinto

Wengzhong road is located at the end of the stone statue road. On both sides of the road, the pines and cypresses are hidden, and wengzhong stands in awe. Therefore, it is named wengzhong. Weng Zhong has eight statues, which are divided into four groups, standing opposite each other. He is 4 meters tall and tall. Two pairs of armed generals in armor and holding gold shields. The other two are the officials with the crown on their heads and the Wat in their hands. Predecessors have a poem: "stone horse hiss wind Weng Zhongli, hesitant midnight point toward class." When it comes to Weng Zhong, there is a real person in history. He used to be a powerful man of the first emperor of Qin Dynasty, named Ruan wengzhong. It is said that he was one foot three feet tall and extremely brave, so the first emperor of Qin ordered him to garrison in Lintao, which shocked the Huns. After Weng Zhong's death, the first emperor of Qin molded his image into a bronze statue and stood outside the Sima gate of Xianyang palace. It is said that when the Huns came to Xianyang to pay tribute, they saw the bronze statue from a distance and thought it was the real Ruan wengzhong who did not dare to go near. In this way, the later rulers followed the practice of the first emperor of Qin Dynasty and called the bronze or stone people standing in front of the palaces, temples and mausoleums wengzhong.
