What's the story of Vulcan New Year pictures?
Among them, Zhu Yuanzhang's fourth prince, Judy, was born by the widow of Chen Youliang, whom he strongly married, because he always suspected that Judy was Chen Youliang's posthumous son, not his own dragon seed. Therefore, although Judy is proficient in everything, bold and alert, Zhu Yuanzhang refused to arrange him to a rich and stable place, but deliberately named him a prince and sent him to the desolate and remote northern border, which was constantly in war.
Liu Bowen, Zhu Yuanzhang's counselor, had a unique vision. He knew for a long time that he was the cleverest prince in Zhujiajian and would succeed in the future. This time, Zhu Yuanzhang sent him to the north, which just gave him a chance to exercise.
Make him more talented, and in the future, he will undoubtedly be the emperor.
So, Liu Bowen gave Judy an idea to lead troops out of the city and head north in the name of sweeping the north. Liu Bowen also went to war with Judy on the grounds of helping Judy pacify the northland and stabilize the frontier.
With the help of Liu Bowen, Judy was invincible all the way. Wherever they went, the invading army fled, quickly recovered lost ground and drove them to the north of the Great Wall. This is the famous Rebecca that swept across the north in history.
After the Prince of Yan pacified the north, he wanted to build a new capital. He acceded to the throne and sat in a temple, facing south as king. Therefore, Liu Bowen was sent to choose the land according to the capital.
Liu Bowen said, "I have already seen it. Within the territory of Wu Tunnel, there is a Wuqiang Mountain with vast space, good geomantic omen, numerous literati and outstanding people. It is indeed a good place for emperors to build their capital. Please take the initiative to build a palace and a new capital there. "
Judy was overjoyed and immediately followed the plan. Establish imperial kilns in Wuqiang, burn bricks and tiles, mobilize craftsmen and build large-scale buildings. And changed Wutun County to Sui 'an, and built an imperial city in the east of Wuqiang Mountain, named Pingdu. Soon, a magnificent palace with carved beams and painted buildings was built. This palace was built according to the design of Liu Bowen, with a total of 1000 rooms, which is more beautiful and luxurious than Zhu Yuanzhang's palace in Nanjing.
The news that Judy built the palace and proclaimed herself emperor privately was learned by Zhu Yuanzhang's spies. He immediately flew south and reported to Zhu Yuanzhang. It is said that Judy, the prince of Yan, built a private palace in the north, with an evil plan.
Zhu Yuanzhang was frightened after hearing this. He was going to send a letter to the world to punish Judy. After hearing the news, the Sixth Prince, who had always loved Judy, said to Zhu Yuanzhang in a hurry, "Father, don't be angry. This matter needs detailed investigation. If the fourth brother didn't mean it, wouldn't it have caused the massacre between my Zhu brothers in vain? " If so, it's not too late for my father to send troops again. "
Zhu Yuanzhang thought it was reasonable, so he sent envoys to the north in disguise to investigate the matter in detail. When Judy got the news here, he couldn't help being shocked. He hurriedly asked Liu Bowen for advice.
Liu Bowen smiled and said confidently, "This is easy to handle. Today, long live the gods. The palace can be temporarily converted into a temple, and the halls of each palace are dedicated to the gods of all parties. Please come to the Dojo to pray for the long-term stability of Daming Mountain. May today's longevity be better than Nanshan. In this way, is it not a disaster? As long as you avoid the eyes and ears of long live, you can wait for the opportunity to make a comeback. After Mao's death, he ascended the throne immediately. "
Judy said, "This plan is great. Just how many statues do you need to build in each temple? Time is tight, is there still time? "
Hearing this, Liu Bowen said slightly, "It's easy. In Sui 'an, there is a paper-making printing and dyeing workshop run by her husband Yang. He has a lot of papers of various colors, and he can send someone to get them quickly, kidnap them with rattan stems, and paste the shells with papers of various colors. Painters in this area are like clouds, attracting them and painting all kinds of gods overnight. In this way, it can be repaired in a few days. "
Judy was overjoyed at this. Then, after some planning, they called for craftsmen and painters to move all the five-color paper from Yang's husband's dyeing paper workshop, and made Guanyin tuas, Buddhist Tathagata, Jade Emperor, Taibai Venus, Eighteen Arhats, Heavenly Soldiers, Primitive Buddhas, various immortals and so on.
Within a few days, the vestibule, harem and annex hall built by Prince Judy were all occupied by immortals, becoming a magnificent and dazzling temple.
By the time the spy came to report that Zhu Yuanzhang's special envoy was about to arrive, the renovation of the palace had been completed. So Judy recruited people from all directions and monks from all directions, and caught up with the incense temple fair in Pingdu.
The temple fair was crowded with people and very lively. The monks pray, and the people pray. May Taizu live long and Daming prosper. Seeing this, the emissary of the unannounced visit appreciated the loyalty and filial piety of the prince and hurried to report.
On this day, the temple fair was very lively. An old man came along the street with a basket of goods, including dates, pears and big biscuits. The biscuits in this area are also called "fire", so the old man shouted, "Jujube, pear, fire."
Liu Bowen a look, only made a decision, not good. He quickly reported to the prince, "No, the fire will burn our palace."
The prince asked inexplicably, "How can I see it?"
Liu Bowen said, "This old man is a Vulcan. All the immortals in our palace have been invited, but he forgot to invite them. He chose the reason and came here to tell people to leave early. He wants to set fire to the temple. "
Hearing this, the prince did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly left Pingdu with the princess's servant and official assistant. At night, a raging fire fell from the sky, and Pingdu became a sea of fire. Because Vulcan and Grandma Songsheng have been having an affair, I am embarrassed to burn her. After the fire, there was only one grandmother temple left in Pingdu.
As soon as the prince saw that he could not stay in Pingdu, he had to lead his troops north, and chose another geomantic treasure to build his capital at the foot of Yanshan Mountain, named "Beiping". However, his palace never dared to build 65,438+/kloc-0,000,000 rooms, only 9,999 rooms were built, and a place was left for Vulcan to rest.
Since then, Wusui County has been renamed as "Wuqiang", and the name of Sui 'an is not called. It should have been the Pingdu of the Imperial Capital, leaving only two Pingdu villages in the south and north, and only two villages in the Imperial Kiln Factory, East Factory and West Factory.
Since then, Vulcan has never been painted in Wu Qiang's paintings. First, because the gods were painted according to the statues in Pingdu Palace, there was no Vulcan Lord there. Second, because Vulcan turned Wuqiang, which was supposed to be a prosperous imperial city, into a rural house, Wuqiang people also resented him from the bottom of their hearts, unwilling to erect a statue for him and let him enjoy the incense of sacrifice everywhere.
