The origin of Yiquan Pavilion

Feng Yin and his family were well-off, not rich and powerful, but at least they had no worries about food and clothing. Both Yiquan and Xinyi are only children. They are deeply loved by their parents at home. The parents of the two families hope that their son can study well, and that he will become a famous scholar in the future. Sure enough, when they were 19 years old, they took part in the college entrance examination and won the scholar's examination at the same time. The villagers all said that if they succeed in their youth, they will become great talents in the future.

However, in the second year of Feng Yiquan's entrance examination as a scholar, when he was ready for the next provincial examination, his family was suddenly caught in a fire, and all his property turned to ashes. With the help of his neighbors, he managed to build two flat houses in the same place, but his family had no choice but to live by. Yiquan's parents were so anxious that they fell seriously ill that they had to go back to huangquan.

Feng Yiquan guarded the two bungalows left by his parents and set up a private school. It is a distant dream that the imperial examination won the gold medal. Yiquan's private school is too simple and shabby. Some rich families despise it. Only those who are not well-off send their children. Yiquan never cares about more money and less money. As a result, Yiquan's life is getting worse day by day. Fortunately, with the help of Yin Xinyi, Yiquan was not too embarrassed.

When Yiquan's family suffered an accident, Yin Xinyi was very sympathetic. He let Yiquan live in the Yin family. They studied together and took the exam together. Yiquan didn't agree. Yin Xinyi couldn't do it. He studied in the daytime, accompanied Yiquan in the evening, and slept with Yiquan in the evening. Sometimes, Xinyi also invited Yiquan to visit Tianping mountain and Lingyan mountain in the suburb of the town to relax him.

Yiquan broke his heart to take the exam, and Yin Xinyi didn't want to leave his friends, so he gave up the chance to take the exam. Later, Xinyi married a wife and gave birth to a son. His age increased from youth to middle age. However, his friendship with Yiquan was no less than that of that year. Whenever you have time, you run to the thatched cottage of Yiquan. You often talk all night and stay up all night.

Once, Yiquan had something to go out and had to spend some time to come back. Anyway, there was nothing valuable at home. He locked the door and threw the key to Xinyi. At the same time, he gave Yin Xinyi the one hundred Liang silver he had saved all his life for him to keep. Who knows a month, two months later, Yiquan still did not come back. Later, the bad news came that Yiquan had died of a sudden illness, leaving no word. Heart Yiwen news, wailing, also seriously ill.

After Yin Xinyi recovered from his illness, he suddenly remembered the hundred taels of silver Feng Yiquan had left beside him. Yiquan never married, and there were no relatives in the town. All her friends had to bow to her heart. Xin Yi wants to build a luxurious clothes tomb for his friends to comfort Yi Quan's spirit in heaven. But when he thinks about it, I'm afraid he may not agree to do so. Yin Xinyi tossed and turned, thought hard, and finally came up with a good idea.

Two months later, a well Pavilion named after Yiquan appeared on the ancient road. The pavilion was all made of granite. It was thick and solid, without too much decoration. It was as simple as Yiquan. Pedestrians who are tired of walking can rest and shade in the stone pavilion, and drink when they are thirsty. Yin Xinyi didn't take his friend's legacy as his own, nor did he build a magnificent tomb for his friend, but quietly built such a convenient stone pavilion for him, and his kindness was praised by the neighbors.

follow-up

Later, Yin Xinyi succeeded Feng Yiquan and continued to teach in his two cottages until his death. Feng Yi, a disciple of Yin Xinyi, witnessed the pure friendship between the teacher and his friends. He wrote a poem named Jing Ting, which chanted the teacher's noble and noble manner. The poem says: "Yijin used to have Yiquan, which was buried for a long time. Today, who is willing to build Yiquan pavilion. "
