Yama is not easy to mess with, but some people like to touch Yama's nose, and they deliberately pass by there.
According to legend, after Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, he was awarded the title of Hero, and his fourth son Zhu Di was made the King of Yan, guarding Yanjing (Beijing).
King Yan was ambitious and talented, so he was worried that his son would not seek progress.
In the sixth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang opened a scientific expedition. King Yan thought that the opportunity to test his son had come. He let his son participate in the scientific examination, but he was afraid that his son would not be able to take the examination well. Therefore, he decided to lead his son to travel to the famous mountains and rivers, on the one hand, to temper his son's will, on the other hand, to reduce the pressure on his son.
On this day, the father and son came to the Great South Mountain of hengshan remnants, saw the peaks and mountains, clouds and mist, and suddenly felt refreshed.
When king Yan saw that his son was drunk, he called his son to the front and said to him, "You have been in the cold window for several years, and success or failure is in this move." This time into Beijing to catch the exam, you must hide your name, dominate the top, if you win the title, father and son meet here, if not, don't come to see me!
The son nodded. He packed up his clothes and went to Beijing to take the exam.
Speaking of King Yan, he did not trust his son, and looked every day where he broke up with his son.
On this day, the son returned. The Yan King strode towards the meteor.
Seeing his son kneeling down in frustration, he said that his son was not filial piety and only won the examination. When he finished, he sobbed.
King Yan was happy to hear that his son had taken the tanhua examination. But then he thought that his father did not boast of his son, so he said slowly, "You have not dominated the world, what face do you have to come to see me?" ”
With that, he took out a sword.
The son thought: I have agreed with my father and king, and now that I have not become famous, what face do I have to live in the world?
He prostrated his head three times to the King of Yan and said, "The child is not filial piety, let the father and the king suffer a lot."
With that, he crashed headlong into the cliff. It was too late for King Yan to save him.
The son is dead. The Yan King could not regret it. He looked up at the sky and sighed: The King of Yan did not favor and forced the death of filial piety.
At this moment, just a few cuckoos flew in, and they also followed: Yan Wang Forced Son... The cry was particularly mournful.
Over time, people called this mountain pass "Yama's Nose".
Whenever people pass by here, they touch the rocks here, touch the nose of Yama, and listen to the miserable birds.
