Another name for allusion

This temple is also known as "Three Village Temple". Its origin is an interesting legend.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a rich family in Gaolong village. Jia Wanshi, the head of the family, had a shop in Luoyang, the western capital. His family was very prosperous. There is a Shijia village in the northeast of Gaolong village. Now it is a natural village under the jurisdiction of zuocan. There is a teacher in the village, who is known as shiyunxuan. He is knowledgeable, reasonable, modest and has a reputation in the village. In Xie village, Southeast of Shijia village, there is also a rich peasant family, whose head is Xie pancai. These three people fell in love with each other. They often talked about agriculture and business together, and organized some public welfare undertakings, which were highly respected by the villagers. One year, there was a severe drought in Luoyang, with thousands of miles of bare land and no crops. There were starving people everywhere. When the three talked about the disaster together, Xie pancai sighed, saying that his family was on the verge of breaking up. He wanted to go out to do business and find a way out, but he had no money. Shi Yunxuan is a poor teacher. Jia Wanshi immediately said: "although our three brothers are not as affectionate as the" three friends in Taoyuan ", they will not watch their friends starve. If you want to use money, I still have it here! "The words made pan Cai burst into tears:" brother, I will never forget his generous help! "

the flight of time. In the blink of an eye, three years later, Xie pancai made a fortune by doing business with the help of Jia Wanshi. He was not only famous in Yanluo, but also opened a shop in Kaifeng, Kyoto. What about Jia Wanshi? His fate is not good, a few natural and man-made disasters, and his family setting. Jia Wanshi wanted to ask for the debt from the Xie family, but because of his friendship, he was always hard to say. After another three years, the Xie family's business is more prosperous, while the Jia family's self-sufficiency is difficult. In such a difficult situation, Jia Wanshi had to ask Xie pancai to collect the debt.

At this time, Xie pancai had a high reputation. In order to maintain his appearance, he said to the visitor: "at the beginning, three of us were brothers and sisters, but he did not say that he would pay me back. He is in trouble today. Just open your mouth and borrow it. I don't want him to return it. This is not the same thing as paying back the money! "This was a little hard to say. When it came back to Jia Wanshi, Jia was in a bad mood and immediately became angry:" how can I say such ungrateful and irritating words? "Shi Yunxuan knew about this and thought: for many years, I can't make my friends laugh because of the money. He went to Xie pancai and said, "in the past, Ji Bu had no two promises. Hou Ying had a word." At the beginning, our brothers advocated faith and the villagers looked up to it. Now, if we separate our hands, how can we get a foothold in the countryside? "After hearing this, Xie pancai was full of shame and quickly said," elder martial brother, don't say it. It's my words that hurt people. I'm brother Jia. " Shi Yunxuan told this to Jia Wanshi. Jia also felt that he was too angry, so he said: "in this case, I don't want the money. I can't care about the money for my friends." Shi Yunxuan said, "what can he do if he wants to give it?" "I don't want it anyway. You can do as you like! "Said Jia. Shi Yunxuan thought that the unhappiness was all caused by disaster and wealth, and it was hard to prevent natural and man-made disasters. He decided to build a temple to protect the villagers from disaster and peace forever, so he said, "then I'll make the decision!" he lobbied the people of the three villages, raised some money and things, and added Xie pancai's share, built the temple in the middle of the three villages. Because the three villages were built together, it was called "Three Village Temple".
