In Xiucai Mountain, there is a righteous slaughter. Later generations unexpectedly dug it out and it was not rotten for thousands of years.
So, we can't help but ask, what is "righteousness"?
It turned out that in the fourteenth year of Zhengde, April 26. There is an old man who is eighty years old and has come to the end of his life.
The bluestone epitaph engraved where he came from not so noble:
The public surname is Zhang, the word Bensen, and Mu Zhai's alias. The people of Guangjiyi of Chu live in Wuxue. When the general manager is in the corner, he knows how to read, socialize and travel with famous people, and benefit from the first business, and his family is rich. ”
His ancestors were engaged in farming, but after studying in Kaimeng, he chose a different path. Traveled in Shandong, took teaching as a profession, taught hard, and saved more than 50 gold.
In the sixth year of Hongzhi, Shandong was suddenly hit by a severe drought, and more than half of the hungry people were exiled. The imperial court issued an edict to hope that the rich would lose millet for disaster relief. In order to save the people from fire and water, Zhang Mao donated all the wealth that he could have enjoyed. Feeling the righteous act, Shandong Taisi will report his name. The emperor remembered his virtue and merit, and named him "righteous slaughter".
Breeze with two sleeves, return to his hometown Guangji. When his wife He heard the news, she did not blame, but praised her.
Since then, although Cheung Mao is getting older, he is still enthusiastic about neighborhood affairs and sponsors the repair of bridges and roads from time to time.
He said to people: Life is in the world, no matter how high or low. Finding the path you want to take and walking consistently is the best practice.
He is not corrupt, he is good at ease, and his life is fixed. The husband and wife are both long-lived.
In the eleventh year of Zhengde, He Ruren unfortunately died first, and his life span was nine out of seventy.
In the fifteenth year of Zhengde, in the cold winter, Zhang Mao and his wife He were buried together at the mouth of Xiucai Mountain.
Comb your hair into a bun and insert a silver hairpin on it.
Holding a fine white cloth money sac in his hand, he sleeps under the quilt.
When he was buried in the ground, his tomb was tightly sealed from then on.
The dark and lightless space has hidden the secret of the incorruptibility of the body of Yizai Zhang Mao for more than 400 years.
It wasn't until the brick factory took the soil that this Ming Dynasty husband and wife tomb was accidentally excavated.
Lifting the cover, two Buddhist funeral rites on paper, one large and one small, cover the body of the deceased.
Seven layers are taken out, and a total of nine silk dresses and robes.
The world was amazed to find that this old man, who had done righteous deeds all his life, did not decay in the flesh
In the burial chamber at the other end of the partition wall, only the skeleton of the He family remains.
Most of the burials in the coffin are also decayed, and only embroidery fragments and silver hairpins remain.
Words written on the back.
An accident is present for future generations to visit the exhibition. This is also another kind of kindness to future generations after his death.
His body was finally sent to Shanghai, thousands of miles away, for preservation and respect. Such a good situation, thinking about it, must be much beyond the expectations of "Yi Zai".
