June 24th birthday party
Reporter: When Guan Gong was young, he had admired Hedong Emperor Shun , and often crossed the horses to the Emperor Shun thirty miles away to worship. I heard that there is a unique " Yao, Shun, Yu, , Four Saints on the Pass" every year on the second day of the second month of the Emperor Shun?
Keep Xingang: Yes, there are lively and interesting episodes in this ancient temple fair.According to the 28-year-old stele inscriptions in the temple of Emperor Shun in Yuncheng, the "Four Saints Touring the Ancient Temple Fair" has a history of more than a thousand years. In history, there were many merchants from all over the Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia, Mongolia and Qinghai. Especially the 48 grain markets derived from the ancient salt ponds were in the Mule and Horse Market, which made the ancient temple fair last for seven days. Unfortunately, the temple fair was strangled by force when the Japanese invaded China. Since its recovery in 2009, every year on the second day of the second day of the lunar calendar, the whole village around the village tomb of Emperor Shun put down the farm work and carried the statue of the gods to the temple to worship. The images offered are fixed: Zhanghe Village respects King Yao , Yangbao Village respects King Shun, Dongquma Village respects King Yu , and Xiquma Village respects Guan Gong.

The community fire team was vast and there were gongs and drums in front of them to show the ancient scene of Emperor Shun, recreating the "virtue, filial piety, kindness, benevolence, etiquette, and righteousness" of Emperor Shun. It makes people feel the original rhythm of 4,300 years ago.
However, the most lively and active person is the statue of Guan Gong. Because Yao, Shun and Yu were both "kings of literature", they could only slowly carry them to the temple. As a military general, the young man carried the statue of Guan Gong and ran around the divine road. There were so many people in the crowd, he had to rush and rush, which attracted a lot of applause. After the four statues of the gods arrived, they would wear red flowers, burn incense and burn the watches, and read the verses.

I have heard stories such as archery shooting in the Taohua Cave of Zhongtiao Mountain in Guan Gong and the removal of chicken essence from Tianzhu Peak Peak. Is there a lot of legends stored in the Guan family’s ancestral tomb?
Guan Xingang: Guan Gong’s story and legend in Guan Gong’s hometown have distinct regional characteristics. Among a series of legends, there are also a large number of scenery legends that connect some related regions. For example, the involvement of the Yuncheng Yanchi , Yuanwangzhuang, Chiyou Village , Liujiazhuang and other scenery in the legend of "Guan Gong Fighting Chiyou" highlights the regional nature of Guan Gong's legend, and also makes great contributions to Guan Gong's hometown and Guan Gong's beliefs. Wonderful interpretation and explanation.
Walk more than ten miles into the mouth of Shiqinggou in Zhongtiao Mountain, and it is the Guandi’s ancestral tomb. The ancestral tomb is surrounded by mountains, shaped like a dragon, winding peaks, like galloping horses, and green pines and cypresses, which complement each other to form a fun. This area of stars is covered with legends such as the Green Dragon Gate, washbasin, horse hoof prints, sword nest, huge stone statue of Guan Gong and his wife worshiping his ancestors, Guan Gong trained horse slope, and Fenyunling. As the legend of Fenyunling, there is a peak like a blade. The veteran clouds are cut open. Especially in summer, dark clouds suddenly rise from the west of the peak. The Fenyunling is like a deep hole, and the sun beams shoot out the hole, like a clanging hand. Brighten the sword. The clouds at the entrance of the cave changed into various shapes of birds, beasts, and people, and were inlaid with gold edges by the sun, which was very vivid. The locals said that if anyone can inlaid gold edges in the cloud cave, he will definitely become a god in the future. It is said that all those who went up could not come back, there was a big white snake doing evil. This incident made Guan Gong very angry when he heard this and decided to eliminate harm for the people. On this day, Guan Gong carried a sword on his back and strode to Fenyun Ridge. Before the sun came out, Guan Gong sat down and rested when suddenly a cold air came. A big white snake with an arm was raised and half a person rushed towards him.He jumped out of the way with a "rubbing" and pulled his sword and slashed hard, but the cold air from the snake blew him down. Before he could get up, the white snake had arrived. He rolled, waved his sword, and was slashing the snake's neck. Immediately, blood spurted into the air several feet high. It was the sun rising and dark clouds surged. Guan Gong stood in the beautiful cloud peak, with gold edges all over his body. Later, Guan Gong was really appointed as the emperor by the marquis and became a great god respected by all people.

Hu Yue studied medicine with her father since she was a child and collected a lot of proven prescriptions. Hu Yue treated her diseases very widely. No matter whether it is spring, summer, autumn, winter, wind, rain, snow, and hail, she would come to the hospital immediately as long as someone came home to call her. Since most of the medicinal materials were dug in the wild, When you go home and make your own money, you often don’t charge anyone any penny. She also constantly passed on medical knowledge to the villagers, planting seeds in houses, fields, ground and slopes, and collecting and using them by the sick and injured, which is very convenient.

There is also Niangniang Spring in Jiezhou. Empress Hu Yue once moved out of the deep mountains and lived at the entrance of the ditch. The mountain spring was "out of the mountain and turbid". Legend has it that she used a sword left by Guan Gong to dig a hole outside the door. It’s amazing to say that the water not only flows rapidly, but also clarifies quickly, making it particularly sweet. Empress Hu Yue told her neighbors that everyone would come to collect and enjoy. Until the 1980s, this Eye Niangniang Spring was still available for people to drink.
