【Old Chu Ancestral Hall】
In the old days, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people.
A set of very precious pictures from the old times, when the big banyan tree "overhead" was still there, the seamount in the summer, frequent power outages, the old people gathered to sit under the big banyan tree, holding a fan to chat about home, while the naughty children climbed the big banyan tree, laughing as if time had passed a long time.

【Old Chongxin Shan Tang】
【Old Sanyi Women's Temple】
【Old Sage Temple】
【Old Kasako Bridge】
【Old Three Hundred Gate Seawall】
【The corner of the old seamount】
At that time, in the "back overhead", the old people loved to say ancient, often said that they could not stop, Sanyi Women's Temple, Tiger Kicking Stone, etc., but it was taken as a mantra, it was the sentence "Unborn Zhu Ayao, Mr. Tiger Kicking Stone". Do you know who Zhu Ayao is? Tiger kicking stone? Is the tiger kicking the stone? I don't know if you've heard of it too? Maybe it has already been ripe, or maybe it has never been heard, the story behind this.
【Tiger Kick Stone】
When I was a child, I grew up rolling around on the beach, and the tiger kicked the stone not far away, but somehow, I never subconsciously wanted to find out, but after moving, I cared about my hometown, even if it was a flower and a grass, a brick and a tile, it became the most important, which is probably the difference between home and hometown.
(i)
Zhu Ayao, a teenager from Huangmang Township in the early Ming and Early Qing Dynasties, went to Elephant Trunk Mountain to collect firewood, played hide-and-seek with his friends, and occasionally found an unnamed stone cave, which was later known as the Tiger Kick stone.
On the beach on the west side of Huang Mangyuan Dragon and the south side of elephant trunk mountain carp village, there is a pile of stones, a closer look is mainly made of two boulders stacked on top of each other, the cornerstone is tall, the boulder above stands majestically on the cornerstone, there is a gap under the upper stone, which can allow people to climb in, there is a hole in the stone, the upper part of the stone cave is located above the entrance, empty as a firmament, there are four recesses in the stone wall, as long as the hands and feet are propped open, the limbs can be arched in the air, just like the tiger stepping on it, this "pedaling" action, we haishan slang is called "kick" or "bald".
It is said that after Zhu Ayao grew up, when the Qing soldiers entered the pass, the Ming Dynasty fell, Zhu Ayao gathered righteousness against the Qing, and after the uprising failed, he was chased by the Qing soldiers to the beach and had nowhere to escape, suddenly remembering the nameless stone cave he found when he was a child, so he retreated to the side of the big stone on the beach along the footprints, entered the stone cave, and the whole person's hands and feet were propped open, arching like a tiger in the sky above the big stone cave, perhaps the Heavenly Father had the intention to pity, and the spider at the mouth of the cave immediately formed a web. When the pursuing soldiers arrived, but they saw the smoke and waves, the water and sky were vast, except for a series of footprints on the beach, there was silence around, although there were caves on the seashore, but the cobwebs at the mouth of the cave were heavy, not like the appearance of just being entered, and the pursuing soldiers searched around without a trace and left.
The clever Zhu Ayao escaped a disaster, crossed the Hainan Ao to defect to Zheng Chenggong, and later made many military achievements in the large and small battles against the Qing And expelled the Dutch invaders on the island of Taiwan, becoming Zheng Chenggong's water division tiger general and one of the five tiger generals. In order to commemorate this tiger general, the people of Huangmang Township called this pile of stones "Tiger Kick Stones".

Zhu Ayao raised an army during the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, built a water village on Haishan Island, and the soldiers in the village were dominant on the sea. To attack his water village, first of all, you have to pass the level of three thousand geese, the goose's hearing is the most acute, the Qing army has not yet approached the water village, there are ten miles away, the head goose in the flock of geese took the lead in shouting, Zhu Ayao heard the alarm, immediately released the letter cannon, that is, a group of crazy pirate ships rushed out of the water village, and the Qing army that would commit the crime was scattered.
Deng Youlun, the commander of the Qing army, led several troops to conquest and suppress, but failed one by one. This made Deng Youlun think of a plan, and he learned that Zhu Ayao also had a cousin Xu Ming, and now that he was Zhu Ayao's deputy in the village, he was a greedy man of good money and good goods, so he immediately sent someone to contact him, promised an official position, and wanted to pull this person over. So he entrusted Xu Ming's fellow villagers to send the secret letter to the village in the name of joining the gang, and attached a generous gift.
Xu Ming accepted the gift and left his fellow villagers by his side as a helper. Xu Ming is the second most important person in the water village after Zhu Ayao, responsible for the daily affairs of the water village. Therefore, when feeding the geese, he took his own henchmen and mixed poison in the goose food, and the geese all froze.
In the middle of the night, the Qing soldiers came, and the geese were already difficult to make a sound, so the Qing soldiers quickly entered the village. This raid caught Zhu Ayao by surprise, when he rolled down from the bed, the Qing soldiers had already killed the window, this surprise was not small, quickly drew a steel knife from under the pillow, with martial arts superiority, rushed out, with his cronies around him, jumped into the sea from the pirate's cliff and escaped.
Later, he joined Zheng Chenggong and became a pioneer in recovering Taiwan.

In the folk of Haishan Island, the legend of Zhu Ayao as the pioneer of the restoration of Taiwan is circulated. In 1984, Zhu Guorui, a haishan man, told the following story:
When the red-haired ghost garrisoned Taiwan's chief officer, Yu Yi, relied on the power of the castle's strong artillery and stubbornly resisted. Guo Surname Ye was ready to attack strongly, and Zhu Ayao and other generals shook their fists and competed to be the vanguard. Guo Surname Ye thought, "These generals, who are loyal and courageous, and who are wise and courageous, who should be sent to be the vanguard?" "He came up with a way to pick pioneers.
On this day, a feast was held in the martial arts hall, and each eight immortal table was placed with 24 steaming delicacies. Guo Surname Ye pointed to a table full of delicacies in front of the hall and said: "Whoever can grab the foot of the table with one hand and lift it up, the table is not tilted, the delicacies do not overflow, whoever is the pioneer!" "Many generals went forward to try, but they were all weak and failed.
Finally, it was Zhu Ayao's turn, only to see that he was not in a hurry, rolled up his sleeves, exposed his right hand as thick as a paddle stick, held a table foot, gently lifted, turned around like an acrobatic, the table was not oblique, the dishes were not tilted, and won the applause of the generals.
【Tiger Kick Stone Surrounding】
The country's surname was Great Joy, so he chose Zhu Ayao as the vanguard.
Zhu Ayao became the vanguard, led the soldiers to attack the city, and after a bloody battle, finally captured a turret on the commanding heights of the red-haired ghost. Then, condescending, they bombarded the strongholds of the red-haired ghosts with artillery, causing the enemy ghosts to howl wolf and collapse into an army.
Although the red-haired governor Yu Yi was an old traitor, under the siege and onslaught of the Zheng army, he finally ran out of ammunition, grain, and aid, and surrendered unconditionally on February 1, 1662. Taiwan, occupied by the red-haired ghosts for 38 years, has finally returned to the embrace of the motherland.
Zhu Ayao has since settled in Tainan and bred offspring. His brother Zhu Ahu is descended from Haishan Island and now has more than 300 descendants. Zhu Ayao's former residence in Haishan is more than 100 meters behind the Chu Ancestral Hall. The only remaining carp village in his former tun soldiers is the highest kite stone used to raise the flag.
Regarding Zhu Ayao's deeds, there seem to be too many to count, such a historical figure, in the hearts of the older generation of Haishan, has become a hero, a legend, in that era when information is not circulating, it can still be known to everyone, I think he must have his superiority, and as future generations, we need to listen, but also need to inherit, these old stories.
