An ancient photograph, taken in 1934, aroused great interest. In the center of the photo, there is a shrine with a plaque hanging above that reads "There is a Priest". In this shrine, what is enshrined is not clay sculpture, wood carving or stone carving, but an immortal golden body, the body of King Kong left by a Taoist priest. This Taoist priest, Sun Zhenren, originally from Hejian Province, Hebei, practiced in Mount Taishan for more than 60 years, and finally became an immortal in the 40th year of the Kangxi Dynasty. He left an unusual last word that foreshadowed his own death and feathering, and the final result was shocking.
Sun Zhen was an indifferent and easy-going person who devoted his life to cultivation. After more than 60 years of hard work, he became a reality in the 40th year of the Kangxi Dynasty. Before feathering, he told his disciples, "I will die in the pavilion, open my eyes for three years, and bury it." However, perhaps because of the passage of time, the disciples lost their accurate memory of three years. More than ten years later, when they opened Sun Zhenren's coffin, they found that the master was still the same as before his death, without the slightest sign of decay. Sun Zhenren has cultivated a golden body that is not bad.
In order to commemorate the master, the disciples built a shrine to enshrine Sun Zhenren's golden body. This gold body is plated with gold leaf and becomes an object of worship and admiration for pilgrims. Initially, Sun Zhenren's physical body was placed in the Immortal Cave of the Jade Emperor Pavilion of Mount Tai, and later moved to Penglai Pavilion. Mount Tai is located in a temperate climate, with a huge temperature difference throughout the year, and the heat and humidity in summer are not conducive to the preservation of the body, but Sun Zhenren's golden body has miraculously been preserved.
However, a full 280 years after Sun Zhenren's golden body was preserved, a special era was held in Jinan for a "class struggle education exhibition". At that time, the Tai'an area belonged to Jinan, and in order to educate the people, the organizers tried to break the feudal superstition and establish scientific and revolutionary ideas, and decided to borrow Sun Zhenren's golden body for the exhibition. They hoped to educate the people and eliminate feudal superstitions through exhibitions. However, what they did not expect was that this move attracted a large number of visitors, who were amazed by Sun Zhenren's golden body, but instead deepened their superstitious beliefs.
The organizers quickly realized their mistake, believing that it was not appropriate to display Sun Zhenren's golden body in this exhibition, and that it was no longer necessary to preserve this feudal superstitious object. Therefore, they made an extreme decision: to burn Sun Zhenren's golden body. This decision shocked many people, and the destruction of Sun Zhenren's golden body in that special era was a great loss for the Taishan culture and deeply regretted by future generations.
Although Sun Zhenren's golden body no longer exists, his story still inspires people. His perseverance and practice, as well as his golden body, are mysterious and admirable. His story reminds us that while time takes everything away, the pursuit of true faith and perseverance can leave an immortal mark. This strange story is forever engraved in the history of Mount Tai and is also an inspiration to those who pursue eternity.
