Basic information about Liuli Pavilion

There is a beautiful legend in the local area. It is said that Master Luban took charge of the construction of the project after he ascended to heaven. His two daughters, Lanhua and Jinghua, are smart and eager to learn, inheriting the true legacy of their father. However, the two sisters each have their own strengths in skills, and they are not convinced by each other in their hearts. They both want a chance to show themselves.

On this day, just after the Qingming Festival, the wind was sunny and the spring flowers were blooming. The two sisters took the opportunity to go on an outing to Zezhou. The two sisters wandered to Wei Town. Seeing the beautiful scenery here, surrounded by mountains and rivers, I knew it was a geomantic treasure, so I stopped and built a tower nearby. They made an appointment to start at midnight, when the cock crows and finish, it was a showdown.

My younger sister was competitive by nature, so she came to build a pagoda near a village in the north called Xiaocheng (now Runcheng Town, Jincheng City). My sister, Wei Sheng, silently invited the turtle spirits and old monsters in Qinhe River to help.

At midnight, the two sisters each showed their special abilities to build the tower. My sister Orchid is superior in skills and has already built an eleven-story building in Mao Shi. The younger sister was anxious and asked the old turtle spirit to cast spells to cause trouble. All of a sudden, the clear sky in Wei Town turned into a stormy sky with flying sand and rocks. The elder sister thought it was strange and knew it was her fault. When she patted the treasure gourd left by her father, everything calmed down immediately. From then on, there was the Huangsha Ridge between Xiaocheng and Weiding, and there was also inexhaustible coal from Xiaocheng and Weiding. In order to commemorate their older sister Orchid, later generations called the coal in Wei Town "Orchid Coal".

After the old turtle spirit made trouble, the morning was approaching, and my sister came up with another plan, secretly learning to crow. My sister heard the rooster crow and became anxious. The top of the tower she built was not yet capped, so in desperation she threw the treasure gourd left by her father to the top of the tower, and a complete and ingeniously crafted glazed pavilion stood in front of her.

Sister Jinghua did not show any weakness and used what she had learned throughout her life to build an exquisite six-story pagoda. My sister stood on the top of the tower and looked east, and saw a radiant light. A treasure pavilion high into the clouds stood beautifully in Weiding Village in front of Huangsha Ridge. And my sister Lanhua also stood on the top of the pavilion and smiled, and the colorful glow seemed to be her beautiful wedding dress.

My sister sighed and left quietly.

Since then, there has been a small town tower, and more than ten miles east is the Liuli Pavilion in Wei Town. After hundreds of years of vicissitudes, they still watch and confront each other like a pair of biological sisters.

During the Anti-Japanese War, Wei Ding Village was the location of the Eighth Route Army Arsenal, and the Liulic Pavilion was the landmark building of Wei Ding Village. After learning that the enemy was going to send planes to bomb the arsenal, in order to prevent the enemy from blowing up the arsenal, Liuli Pavilion, a landmark building in Weiding Village, was demolished by the villagers overnight. Later, when the enemy plane came to bomb, it failed to find the target and flew away. This leaves us with another tragic story.
