The story of Han Huhu
There is a temple at the confluence of the Dongjindi River and the Huangzhuang River in Xiaohan Village, and on the first and fifteenth day of the first month of the month, good men and women from near and far come here to offer incense and pay homage to the admirable old fifth master. The fifth master is the famous sui general Han Huhu, formerly known as Han Baobao, the character Zi Tong, it is said that at the age of 13, he was born to capture a fierce tiger, and later changed his name to Han Huhu. Because he ranked fifth, people called him the fifth master. Han Huhu was born into a famous family, full of military books, strong in martial arts, courageous and strategic, and dignified in appearance, with a large body, and a heroic and heroic appearance.
In such a remote place as Xiaohan Village in Zhaoying Township, Huaxian County, how can there be the golden body of the old fifth master? What is the origin of the old fifth master Han Huhu and Xiao Han Village?
Han Xiong's father, Han Xiong, was a native of Xin'an County, Luoyang, Henan, and is said to have served as a county magistrate in what is now Huaxian County. Han Baohu's mother was a native of Liugu Heng Village, Huaxian County, and Han Baohu was born in Liugu Heng Village.
In the last years of the Sui Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and peasant revolts were raging. The Sui Dynasty Emperor was absurd and had a luxurious life, and even his aunt and cousin Li Yuan led troops to rebel and revolt. The Sui Emperor was furious, so he sent the general Han Huhu to hunt down and kill Li Yuan, and also demanded that Han Huhu must take Li Yuan's head and return to the mission. Han Huhu pursued and killed Li Yuan all the way, and launched a vicious battle in this place in Xiaohan Village, because Han Hu was brave and good at fighting, li Yuan was captured alive.
Just when Han Huhu was about to take off Li Yuan's head and go back to the errands, Li Yuan did not have the slightest fear, and he said to Han Huhu: "The Sui Emperor is arrogant and extravagant, and the common people are not happy, as a close minister of Yang Guang, you will not be unaware." Today you can kill me, my life alone is insignificant, and I have long put life and death aside. But I led the army to revolt not for myself, but to overthrow the tyranny of the Sui Dynasty Emperor and save the people of the world. Han Baohu listened to Li Yuan's words, and the steel knife he raised quietly put down. What the Sui Emperor had done over the years, Han Huhu saw in his eyes, although he was dissatisfied, but as a member of the Sui Dynasty, he had no choice but to kill Li Yuan, although he could give Yang Guang an explanation, but he could not bear it. However, if he didn't kill Li Yuan, how could he go back to make a deal? After thinking about it several times and thinking about it several times, the upright and chivalrous Han Hu resolutely drew his sword and killed himself, letting Li Yuan have a way to live by ending his life.
Later, Li Yuan's rebellion was successful and he was proclaimed emperor, and Li Yuan's son Li Shimin, in memory of Han Huhu's righteous deeds, built a temple for the old fifth master Han Huhu in Xiaohan to worship and sacrifice. At that time, the Five Masters Temple was demolished and repaired several times by wind and rain. Especially during the Daoguang years of the Qing Dynasty, there was a large household called Geng Jiwu here, who gathered rich people from 13 surrounding villages to raise funds to rebuild the Wuye Temple, which was the largest and most spectacular. The first and fifteenth day of the first month is a temple fair, where hawkers and merchants from near and far gather, buying and selling, and incense is very popular. The current Wuye Temple Fair is the eighth day of March and the twentieth of October. Since the Tang Dynasty, for more than 1,000 years, the incense of the Wuye Temple has been continuous.
In addition to this story, there is also a story of the old fifth master selling horses in Xiaohan Village.
Legend has it that one day the old fifth master Han Huhu went to Dongming, Shandong Province, to sell horses, and it happened that someone came to buy horses. The fifth old master came forward to talk to the person who bought the horse, and finally negotiated it at the price of a yuan treasure. The old fifth master introduced the details of the horse to the horse buyer, and also gave a special explanation, after buying this horse, only the horse was allowed to work, only the horse was allowed to eat grass, and the horse must not be allowed to drink. The old fifth master asked where the person who bought the horse was, and the person who bought the horse said that it was south of the Yellow River, referred to as Henan. The horse buyer asked the old fifth master where it was, and the old fifth master replied that to the west was Xiao Han, to the east was Da Han, and my family lived in Sanhan (that is, the Temple of the Five Masters). The two men, handing over money in one hand and horses in the other, talked a few more words and left.
After a while, the people who bought the horses became more and more curious, thinking to themselves: "Where in the world is there such a horse, which only works, only cares about the raw hay, but is not allowed to drink water?" "One day, after the horse finished his work, he was sweating and very tired. The horse buyer couldn't bear it, so he let the horse drink water. Suddenly, strange phenomena occurred, and the horse soon became a pile of mud.
The horse buyer felt very strange and wanted to understand, so he came to the "Three Koreas" according to the place said by the old fifth master, and it turned out to be a temple. The man who bought the horse knew that he had met a god and hurriedly bought a handful of incense to ask the god. When he inserted the burning incense into the incense burner, he couldn't insert it, so he opened the incense ash sand, but saw a yuan treasure (the original horse buyer gave the old fifth master that the yuan treasure was buried under the incense burner soil), realized that it was the old fifth master who came to help him, the horse buyer was very moved, in order to thank the old fifth master, he used this piece of yuan treasure, and built a sheltered wall for the old fifth master in front of the temple, two long and one high.
Until now, many stories of the old fifth master are still circulating among the common people, and the chivalrous spirit of the old fifth master has nourished generations of people. The old fifth master Han Huhu has become a symbol of Xiaohan Village.
