Nature is magically beautiful and just as cruel. In the face of nature's calamities, human beings are very small. For example, a flood, a beautiful village, may be swept away by the water in the next second and nothing will be left! But as a highly intelligent animal, how can humans easily concede defeat, always trying to avoid or prevent this inevitable disaster, although losing more and winning less!
Speaking of this, I have an exception in my mind: in ancient times, when building houses, people would build them in a relatively high place, so as not to be flooded by the flood when the flood broke out. However, in Shaanxi Province, there is a Chenghuang Temple built on the beach, and whenever the flood comes, it will take a detour and do not cause serious damage to the Chenghuang Temple. Why does it allow floods to automatically bypass? Flood bypass is a phenomenon that experts can't explain. But it was inadvertently cracked by 3 children, what is going on?
The City God Temple, located in Ningshan County, Shaanxi Province, is in a flood-prone area, and was built during the Qianlong period, with a history of more than 200 years. It is understood that this area has had many floods in ancient times, because the ancients were more superstitious, so they built this city god temple, so as to pray for God's blessing, the harm of the flood is very great. However, in the face of such a disaster, this city god temple was not too damaged, and even every flood in the back would bypass this temple, and more and more people felt that this was blessed by the gods, and they came to prostrate themselves and bow down.
Later, there is a legend of the "Golden Duck Floating Boat". Legend has it that in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, in the middle of the river, there was often a pair of golden ducks playing here, and their feathers were golden yellow. The two golden ducks, one of which flew into the Guandi Temple, while the other hovered in the air, landed on a small ship-shaped island on the Chang'an River. Fifty years after Qianlong, he chose a place to build a temple on the Chang'an River, and chose this small boat-shaped island.
Since the temple was built, the incense has not been broken, and magical things have happened from time to time. Ningshan County, Shaanxi Province, is a flood-prone area, and every time there is a flood in the area, the City God Temple is safe, and the flood surrounds the City God Temple but cannot be flooded. For a long time, people thought that the golden duck of the City God Temple had appeared. It is also said that whenever the flood comes, the temple will be driven up by this golden duck, so it will not be flooded under any circumstances. Of course, these are all legends, because there has been no reasonable explanation, many experts have come to this area to explore, but the final result is disappointed, can not explain why the flood will take a detour!
What people did not expect was that the things that the experts could not explain let the 3 children accidentally hit and cracked, when they were playing near the sandbar, they accidentally found some huge stones, when the water flowed through the stones will be divided into two strands, and such a discovery, spread to the ears of the experts who are studying this matter, the experts hurriedly led the expedition team to investigate, and finally discovered the secrets. Under their exploration, they found a boulder, which turned out to be a group of more than a dozen boulders, and these boulders were like a ship, and with this boulder, every time the flood came, the boulder would divide the water flow to both sides, and the temple could not enter the water at all.
And because the weight of the boulder was too large, the flood could not wash it away. Sand and gravel in the water will be deposited near the sandbar, so the terrain of the sandbar will slowly increase. The use of stones can avoid the flood, and I really have to admire the wisdom of the ancients. Although there is a reasonable explanation now that the flood will not come again, there is still an endless stream of people who come here to burn incense and worship the Buddha. The temple is not as magical as the legend says, but people are still willing to pray for peace through the spiritual world.
The protection of ancient buildings is not only because of its value, but also because it once recorded history, so that future generations can wake up and learn!
