When Zhao Wenshao, a member of the Huiji, was a petty official in Nanjing, he lived in Qingxi Zhongqiao. In the autumn of this year, I admired the moon alone and sang the song of homesickness unconsciously. At this time, under the moonlight, a girl came up, ten ** years old, with a wonderful complexion, and took Gong Hou to sing with him. The two are happy with each other and communicate their feelings to each other. The song is as follows:
The wind blows at dusk, and the leaves fall on the branches. Dan's heart is inched, and the sorrow is unknown.In the morning, when they separated, the two were reluctant, the girl gave her golden hairpin to Zhao Wenshao, and the next day, Zhao Wenshao came here again and found that there was a Qingxi sister-in-law temple nearby, but his gift was placed on the case. Take a closer look at the statue of Qingxi's sister-in-law, it is the girl who sang last night, and she knows that she has met the goddess of Qingxi.
This year is the fifth year of Liu Song Yuanjia of the Southern Dynasty (428), and the beautiful legend of this Qingxi encounter with immortals has been passed down to this day.
Qingxi originates in Zhongshan and meets the Qinhuai River at Taoyedu.
In 241 A.D., Sun Quan built the "East Canal" because there was no danger to defend in the east of Nanjing, and the East Canal was also called "Qingxi" because the east belonged to the "Green Dragon" on the "Four Elephants".
At the end of the Three Kingdoms, there was a county lieutenant of Moling County (now Moling Town, Jiangning District, Nanjing City), named Jiang Ziwen, who thought that his bones were strange and he would become a god after death. He was shot in the forehead by thieves at the foot of Zhongshan (now Purple Mountain) during a peaceful rebellion and died. According to folklore, he became the king of Qin Guang, the first of the ten halls of Yama in the underworld. Sun Quan built a temple for him and renamed Zhongshan Jiangshan.
After Jiang Ziwen's death, his third sister and her two daughters died in Qingxi, so they were sacrificed as gods and named "Qingxi Sister-in-law".
During the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, the poet Wu Yifeng had a poem: "Qin Tune Acacia Introduction, Qingxi Xiaogu Temple" said:
Flowing water trickles into the blue stream. The shadow of the weeping poplar is closed. Ling Bo returned late, and the moss was cold-soaked. The bullet is broken, and the middle bridge is blurred on a moonlit night. Under the peach blossoms, where the dream clouds fly.
