The legend of Zhang Tianshi
Folklore is a story passed down orally by ordinary people
I will bring you a legend about Zhang Tianshi:
A long time ago, in the present Near Dongge, there lived an old couple named Zhang. They are both over fifty, but have no children. The couple makes a living by making tofu. They get up early and go to bed late every day, and are very diligent.
One night, the couple got up in the middle of the night to clean up their work. Old man Zhang accidentally saw a light flashing in the southeast, so he pointed it out to his wife. Aunt Zhang was kind-hearted and persuaded old man Zhang to go and have a look. Someone is lost. Old man Zhang walked towards the light. When he got closer, he saw a pit. There was a lantern next to the pit. The pit was colorful and steaming. Old man Zhang felt strange and jumped into the pit to see what happened. As soon as he got down, the pit suddenly closed and old man Zhang was buried in the pit.
Who dug the pit? It turns out that there was an old Feng Shui master near Dangshan in the north of Dongge who had three sons. Before he died, he said to his sons: "After I die, you can bury me at night in a charity field two or three miles in front of Dongge." , from the north end of this land, walk a few steps to the south, a few steps to the left, a few steps back, and when you say "open", a pit will appear. You can bury me in the pit. It is a geomantic treasure. You will be rich and prosperous in the future." The old man passed away not long after. The sons wrapped the old man in cloth according to their father's instructions. At midnight, the second and third sons carried their father's body, and the eldest son carried a lantern. Go south. Halfway through, the eldest son doubted whether his father's words were true and asked his two younger brothers to walk slowly behind him. He then quickened his pace and rushed to Yidi, where he found the burial site. The eldest brother was very happy. He dropped the lantern and hurried back to greet the two younger brothers.
At this juncture, Old Man Zhang came to help people solve their problems and was buried in a pit to occupy this "feng shui treasure land" first. By the time the three brothers arrived, the pit was covered with earth. Besides, Aunt Zhang was very anxious when she didn't see her husband back after a long time. A Taoist woman didn't dare to look for it in the dark, so she had to wait for the Ming Dynasty. At daybreak, there was still no one in sight, and even after asking everywhere, there was no news. She had no choice but to call in her maternal nephew to help with the business. From then on, business prospered, everything went smoothly, and life got better and better.
Half a year later, Aunt Zhang felt that her body was very heavy, and then she realized that she was already pregnant. Because she was over fifty years old and eager to look forward to having a baby, a glimmer of joy was added to her painful heart. The little life was finally born. Aunt Zhang was extremely happy to have her beloved son and regarded her as the apple of her eye.
Eight years later, Aunt Zhang entrusted her son to study at a private school in East Village. The teacher thought that he was handsome and intelligent, so he named him "Zhang Tianshi".
