History and culture

The Ziyang Longdong resort in Mingcui Valley is the former residence of Wang Zhuan, the imperial censor of the Ming Dynasty and the shaozai of the Jin Dynasty. Wang Zhuan official to the left Minister of the Ministry of official, inherent "iron censor" title, coupled with his incorruptible official, filial piety to his mother, was honored as "Wang Tianguan" by the common people. It was recorded in the biography of the maids in Yichang prefecture (I): "Wang Zhuan, the character Shaofang, Jiajing Yimao, Juren, Renwu Jinshi, who first knew the affairs of Jishui County, Li Guan, two imperial censors in Kyoto, Jin shaozai, who was promoted to China and foreign countries for more than 30 years, has the inherent name of" iron censor ". When Zhang Juzheng was in power, he was promoted by the world. When he died, he was recommended to replace himself. Shenzong wrote that his name was Yuping. ......”

There are also some beautiful legends about Wang Zhuan. It is said that when Wang Zhuan was very young, his father died of illness, and his mother took the responsibility of raising Wang Zhuan, Wang Yong and Wang Ming. At that time, his family was very poor. One day, a Taoist from Sichuan Province rushed to Hubei Province for a piece of "centipede land". When he arrived here in the evening, he suddenly encountered thunder and lightning, and it rained heavily. When he found a family in the mountain, he wanted to spend the night. When he came to the door, he saw a woman spinning cloth, so he came forward to explain his intention. The old woman was kind and poor, so she wronged the Taoist for a night. This old woman is the mother of Wang Zhuan. The queen mother was kind-hearted and kind-hearted. She thought it would be very hard for the guests to come from a long distance, so she killed the only hen who laid eggs and served the Taoist priest.

The next morning, the Taoist was ready to set out on his way. All of a sudden, a golden light flashed by, and the centipede land could not be driven away. Wang Zhuan's family also came out to help, but they could not do anything. At this time, the Taoist said, "it may be God's will. That's all. I'll give you this piece of land." The Queen Mother repeated her thanks. At this time, the Taoist suddenly said to the queen mother, "I think your eldest son is a genius. You'd better send him to study. He will have great achievements in the future." He turned to Wang Zhuan and said, "if you become a senior official in the future, you must not forget to raise your mother. If your mother buries her in this centipede land in a hundred years, you should be loyal to the country and considerate of the people. If you can do this, this centipede land will benefit Jiangnan. "

Later, after Wang zhuanjin became an official, he often went home to visit his mother. The local people all respected him as "Wang Tianguan". The queen mother was buried in today's "Beiwan" one hundred years later. From then on, there was a rich Jiangnan.
