Wenbi Mountain in Fujian

This mountain is located in Tuzhai Town, Hui'an County, Fujian Province. Legend has it that one day during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, the magistrate of Hui'an was sitting in the office. He inadvertently raised his head and looked into the distance. He saw a mountain peak opposite with symmetrical slopes, as if someone was worshiping here.

The ancients thought: This is not exactly what the Kan Yu family calls "facing a flat shoulder but a headless mountain", but it is the most offensive and troublesome Feng Shui. The county government is facing "Wutou Mountain", what should we do? For several days, he felt uneasy, had no taste for food and tea, and was not interested in public cases. He couldn't sit still anymore, so he took the government officials and headed towards the mountain to investigate. But I saw three rocks standing staggered on the top of the mountain. The two sides were like tripod ears, and the middle was like an incense burner. Looking around, the mountains are vying for supremacy, squatting like an animal, coiling like a snail, arching like a human, flying, bending down, breaking or continuing, facing forward or back, it is indeed a rare scenic spot. Treasure land. They invited a Feng Shui master and agreed to build a stone spire at the tripod's ear, which not only resembled "writing pointing to the sky", but also placed a stick of incense on the incense burner to predict the prosperity of the county and the emergence of talents in large numbers. Therefore, after the county magistrate returned to the Yamen, he immediately began to collect donations from the gentry and mobilized nearby people to volunteer work, quarrying stones on the spot, and building the incense burner with a spire two or three feet high. Later, Xianglu Mountain was renamed Wenbi Peak.

Choose an auspicious place in the position of the fourth character "D" and set up a pinnacle of writing. As long as it is higher than other mountains, it will be Kejia. Either erect a writing pen on a mountain or build a tall tower on a flat ground, both are called writing peaks. It means that choosing an auspicious place and building the tallest tower-shaped building in the east, southeast and south of urban and rural areas can bring out local talents in large numbers. It can be seen that Wenbi Peak, Wenbi Tower or Wenfeng Mountain, as a symbol of the prosperity of literary movement and imperial examination in ancient China, can be found in almost every city and village in ancient China!
