Shandong Dezhou is not only famous for grilled chicken, but also has the tomb of "The Eastern King of Sulu Kingdom" (巴都葛叭哈刺). In recent years, the tourism economy has been developed and re-packaged, and the original was not very eye-catching for a long time, slightly broken, surrounded by several Muslim villages.
This "Sulu State" is actually an Orchid country on the island of Sulu in the Philippine Archipelago five hundred years ago. So he is the old king of the Philippines, in fact, he can barely calculate, after all, the founding of the country is much earlier than the Philippines. However, according to the current specifications, it can only be regarded as the governor level of the Philippine province of Sulu.
So in modern times, the Philippine province of Sulu has sent a vice governor to visit the tomb of the Eastern King, and even the Philippine ambassador to China has also come to participate in the commemoration, but the president of the Philippines has not personally visited the shrine. In addition to former Philippine President Joseph Estrada once visited China, mentioned that the "Tomb of the East King" is a symbol of traditional friendship between China and the Philippines. No other president has mentioned the tomb.
But how could this king of the "Sulu Kingdom" be buried in Dezhou, Shandong?
This matter has to start from Zheng He's voyage to the West during the Yongle years. It is said that Zheng He's more than 200 treasure ships brought more than 20,000 people, and countless porcelain, silk, treasures and various specialties to the West. In addition to the great display of Daming's national prestige, Daming's wealth also dazzled the indigenous people on the small islands in the Pacific and Indian Oceans.
As a result, they all worshiped Daming as their suzerainty, and many kings even took their families and tributes and traveled thousands of miles to worship Emperor Zhu Di. Zhu Di was very generous, as long as he came to pay tribute, all the expenses Zhu Di bore. They pay tribute to something for 1 yuan, and they take the initiative to return the 10 yuan thing. In this way, the reputation of the great emperor's hospitality was well known. After many so-called kings arrived in Daming, they were actually reluctant to return to the wild land where birds did not.
In the Yongle Dynasty alone, kings and envoys from more than 60 countries came from all over the sea, and 3 kings died and were buried in Daming. For example, the king of the kingdom of Mud (present-day Brunei), the king of The Kingdom of Mana Jagannay, the king of Mari Raton, and the king of the eastern kingdom of Sulu mentioned in the title, Batu Ge Ha Thorn.
This Sulu kingdom produced pearls, gemstones, tortoiseshells and other things, and there were three kings, in order of power, namely the East King, the West King, and the Tong King. In the fifteenth year of Ming Yongle (1417), these three kings came to the Ming Dynasty with their families to worship, and as a result, three kings came and two kings returned.
On the way back to Dezhou, Shandong, the Eastern King Badu Geha stabbed and died. Therefore, the King of the West and the King of Tong returned to the country with the eldest son of the Eastern King to inherit the throne, and the Princess of the Eastern King, Ge Muning, the second son Wen Hala, and the third son Andulu, simply stayed in Texas to guard the tomb of the Eastern King.
After Zhu Di knew, he was very generous, lived here for a long time, gave land to people, and also reduced taxes, you are not a believer in Lanism, so he arranged for many Muslims to accompany the Eastern King Batu Ge Ha Thorn and his family. Therefore, many Muslims in this area, except for the descendants of the Eastern King Badu Ge Ha Thorn, came from that time.
By the time of the Qing Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty continued its policy towards the descendants of the Eastern King Badu Ge Ha Thorn. During the Yongzheng period, the descendants of the Eastern King Batu Ge Ha Thorn proposed to be naturalized in the Qing Dynasty, because they had lived in Texas for a long time, the descendants of the Eastern King Badu Ge Ha Thorn had been Sinicized, and bred two large surnames, namely the first character of the second son Wen Ha La and the third son Andulu transliterated name as the surname, that is, "Wen" and "An" surname. The Yongzheng Emperor, based on the customs that had already been formed, formally agreed to their naturalization in the Qing Dynasty, and officially gave them the surnames "Wen" and "An".
A few years ago, the local tourism culture was developed, and in 2017, a ceremony was held to commemorate the "600th anniversary of the visit of the Eastern King to the Ming Dynasty", and legend has it that the descendants of the Eastern King Batu Ge Zha Thorn in the Philippines also participated in this worship service.
