Introduction to scenic spots

Tanah Lot

The sea temple here is the predecessor of Qingdao's empress dowager. The sea god in it is invited from Qingdao's empress dowager palace. Her status is second only to Guanyin and she is the most religious god in the area. The main hall is dedicated to the goddess of the sea, with ears and eyes on both sides. On the right is the Dragon King Temple, in which Aoguang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, is worshipped. On the left side is the ducai mansion, in which Guan Gong, the God of wealth, is worshipped. On both sides is Guan Pinghe, his second son, and Zhou Cang, his general. The three temples are not of the same Dynasty. Why should they be put together? The reason is that the temple of the sea symbolizes the safety and success of fishing at sea; the temple of the Dragon King symbolizes the return of fishing with full load; and the office of the governor of wealth symbolizes the wealth of every family.

Battle of the storm

The two long poles in front of the main gate of the sea temple are called "Fengyun Dou", which is the shrine of Jiang Ziya. It is said that after Jiang Ziya was granted the title, Shen Gongbao said to Jiang Ziya, "even I have a throne, but you don't have one." Later, Yuanshi Tianzun said to Jiang Ziya, "although you don't have a God's throne, you are a God above God. You are in charge of all gods. You should set your God's throne on a high place and see all the gods' every move." From then on, Fengyun Dou was Jiang Ziya's divinity.

Tian Heng bronze horse statue

The bronze horse statue of Tian Heng is the scene when Tian Heng went to Luoyang to meet Liu Bang with tears. This horse has two characteristics: first, the tail of the horse is tied with rope. This is a major feature of the ancient war horse, the purpose is not to affect the line of sight behind the war horse. Second, the legs of the horse turn clockwise. Because Tian Heng's horse is quite spiritual, it knows that Liu Bang summoned Tian Heng to Luoyang this time, so he is not willing to move forward and make a retrogression, and the horse will appear a "clockwise turn" when it retrogresses.

Legend of Tian Heng crab

The legend of Tianheng crab is one of the five beautiful legends of Tianheng island. It is said that at the end of Qin Dynasty and the beginning of Han Dynasty, the army of Qi retreated to the island in the battle between Tian Heng, king of Qi, and Liu Bang. When he retreated to the seaside, there was no way to go, and there were pursuers behind him. There was an island in the distance, but there was no ferry. When Tian Heng, king of Qi, was in despair, a bridge suddenly appeared in front of him. It turns out that the crab essence in the sea was moved by Tian Heng's sincerity to serve his country. They used their backs as bridges and said: any officer or soldier can only move forward, not look back. However, a soldier was very curious. When he got to the other bank, he looked back quietly and the crab bridge suddenly disappeared. The soldiers behind sank to the bottom of the sea. Only 500 soldiers came. Tian Heng was very sad. At this time, the Han Army had reached the seaside, and was surprised that there was no bridge at all, so they had to return. Tian Heng suddenly realized that it was God's will, so he ordered firecrackers to ring in unison to show his gratitude.

Later, the Han army sent ships to attack the island several times, but they all sank. It turns out that the crab spirit did not travel far away, but hid in an underwater cave to distinguish Qi army with the sound of firecrackers for protection. It's a pity that the Han army was able to follow the law and recruit Tian Heng on the island, which caused the tragic story.

Main hall of Qiwang Hall

In the middle is Tian Heng, the king of Qi. On the left is Tian Rong, his brother. On the right is Tian Guang, Tian Rong's son. They were all kings of Qi. According to the records of Tiandan biezhuan in historical records: in 221 BC, King Ying Zheng of Qin unified the six states, but because of his brutal rule, he ruled for only 15 years. In 209 BC, the first peasant uprising in Chinese history, the uprising of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, took place. After the uprising of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, the descendants of the six Warring States States States, Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao and Wei, revolted one after another. In the state of Qi, Tian Dan first raised the anti Qin banner and rebuilt the state of Qi. Tian Dan, Tian Rong, Tian Guang and Tian Heng were kings one after another.

In the war of princes, Liu Bang was good at using talents, so he led the Han army from weak to strong, and had the potential to dominate the world. Although Qi army was a small country at that time, it was also famous for its invincibility and bravery. Liu Bang thought that if he sent troops to attack the state of Qi, he would pay a heavy price even if he won, so he sent Li Shiqi, a counselor, to persuade the king of Qi. At that time, Tian Heng was the Prime Minister of the state of Qi. He strongly supported Tian Guangwei, the son of his brother Tian Rong. When he went to the state of Qi, he explained to the monarchs and ministers that the unification of the world had become a foregone conclusion. The monarchs and ministers of the state of Qi judged the situation and decided to submit to Liu Bang, the king of Han Dynasty. Therefore, they lifted the 200000 Li Xia army in Jinan, held a feast and enjoyed drinking. Just as the Qi army was slack, Han Xin, the general of the Han Dynasty, led his troops to the East, raided the Qi army and captured Linzi, the capital of Qi. After Qi army was defeated, Tian Guang and Tian Heng were furious. They thought Li Shiqi had betrayed them, and then they threw Li Shiqi into a boiling oil pan and killed him. Han Xin had always been famous for being so strong. When he learned that Li Shiqi had no trouble persuading the state of Qi, he was angry. Counsellor Kuai Tong said: general, you are going to fight south and North, fight East and fight West, and you are finally able to win 50 cities of Yan and Zhao. Now Li Shiqi has no trouble persuading the state of Qi, and you will get 70 cities in one word. If you give a reward for your merits, a scholar will be in the top ten Why don't people all over the world laugh at the fact that Li Shiqi is in front of you? It's better to attack Qi army before Li Shiqi's last return. As soon as Han Xin heard it, he immediately sent out his troops, which led to the above story.

In addition, the Qi army was defeated, and Tian Guang was attached to HA in the city. He met Han Xin's troops and was killed by Han Xin in the scuffle. Tian Heng was filled with grief and indignation when he learned about it. He made a great plan for the restoration of the country and became king by himself. In order to conserve the power, we should take the East as the base
