Chapter 4 Who mourns for the wind and rain every year

Next to Qin Zhidao's Shimen Guandong Peak, there stood a small temple that was dilapidated in the wind and rain. The legendary Qin Prince's son Fusu was bestowed here. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the cool autumn wind of Shimen Mountain is blowing.I came to this solemn and lonely place on foot... The flowers, plants and trees on the hillside are all withered and yellow, the sparse twigs are swaying in the autumn wind, and the odd path has been covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves.With the vague images obtained from those touching folklore and the vague memories obtained from related music books, I was immersed in deep sadness.I tried to help him perceive the thrilling history of thousands of years ago in this pile of ruins.According to "Historical Records-Tangshihuang Shiji": "Fusu is the eldest son of Sushihuang, and Tuanshihuang wanted to burn Confucian books and kill Confucian scholars. Army." From this historical anecdote, we can accurately know that the son Fusu followed the general Meng Tian back then.The pioneer of this straight road must have left sweat and footprints in Shimen Xiongguan.However, the ruts of history are often at odds with the narrative trajectory people hoped for. Such a tragedy happened to the son Fusu.The young master Fusu is generous, kind-hearted, and loves the common people, which is incompatible with Qin Shihuang's stern, urban character, so that he was demoted to the north to supervise the army of Mengtian.In the thirty-seventh year of Qin Shihuang's reign, Qin Shihuang died of illness during his fifth mighty tour to the sand dunes.Before his death, he appointed his eldest son Fusu as the successor emperor in his will.The eunuch Zhao Gao and the prime minister Li Si changed the edict privately for their own selfish desires, falsely spreading the imperial decree to give the son Fusu to commit suicide in Longmen. "Yi Tong Zhi" contains: "Fu Su is not here, so a temple is set up to worship it."Because of the reputation of his son Fusu's beauty, later generations spontaneously set up a temple here to worship his son Fusu, and regarded Fusu as the incarnation of beauty and kindness, and honored him as "Shimen Lord".Here, incense is lingering every year, and there is an endless stream of worship every year.In order to help Su's spirit in heaven to protect the people.To benefit the world.Except for sacrifices.People will also play drums at Shenyashe during the New Year's Eve when there is a severe drought.Flocks of people come here to kneel down and pray for rain.It is said that "Lord Shimen" is very spiritual. Whenever this time comes, there will be a rain of long-awaited rain.Let the people in this side have good weather and good harvests...

The autumn wind blows past the widowed dilapidated temple on the eastern mountain peak of Shimen. The rubble in front of it is full of ruins, piles of rammed earth, and the broken stones fall sideways and messily among the grass.It is the withered scene that pulls our minds back from the distant history to reality.Shimen Pass is precipitous and majestic. According to historical records, it is "a majestic mountain, the most important point in the northwest."Zheng Gu in the Tang Dynasty and Liu Zhong and Qin Qu in the Ming Dynasty once visited this place.Liu Chong of the Ming Dynasty wrote in the poem "Shimen Jishi": "The steep stone walls are thousands of mountains away, and the open-minded double doors open one way. There are also vines flooding the sun and the moon. How can there be no dragons and tigers coming out of Artemisia. The castle in the air is for fun. It is said that the Fusu Temple is here, who mourns for the wind and rain every year." Although it is ruined rubble, there is still the fragrance of incense in the nostrils.The scattered pieces of fire paper and bundles of nameless flowers made us clearly feel that Fusu's wronged soul and perfect virtue have already been deeply enshrined in the hearts of the people here.After thousands of years of wind and rain.The image of Fusu has been cast into an invisible embodiment of beauty.

Looking from the Shimen Pass to the Qiaoshan Mountains, in a concave area on the east side of the mountain gate, you can see a mound shaped like a hill. This mound is surrounded by mountains, and it is here The mausoleum of Fusu in the legend.According to folklore, a tomb robber once dug up a stone tablet here and wrote "a man from ancient times".Although it is a folk rumor, it shows that despite thousands of years of ups and downs, the son Fusu has left a heavy psychological imprint on the hearts of the people in this area.A circle of Cangshigong cypresses was planted around the mound. These Qingshigong cypresses swayed in the tangled weeds with the clear autumn wind, entrusting people's hopes and sorrows.

Who mourns for the wind and rain every year?The kindness and virtue of young master Fusu will last forever!
