Can the Centennial Temple automatically avoid flooding? Adults can't explain it
The world is so big that there are no surprises.
There are so many incredible and magical records in China's thousand-year history that even today, when science and technology are so developed, there are some things that cannot be explained scientifically.
But we don't need metaphysics to find answers, we just need more time.
Of course, there are also some things that we consciously think in a fixed way, thinking that we can't find the truth, and sometimes we just need to change the way we think, and the answer will appear in front of us.
It was founded in the eighteenth year of ** and is located in Ningshan County, Ankang City, Shaanxi Province.
Heavy rains and floods in the town have washed away countless houses, and desperate people can only go to the local town temple, which has a history of more than 200 years, to pray for the blessing of the town god.
According to locals, the temple has survived dozens of floods, thanks to its immense power.
As the rainfall continued to increase like a black wave, the original height of the Assembly Hall was greatly reduced, and the mountains and hills were submerged to the limit, just when it was thought that the Assembly Hall would also be seriously affected, a miracle occurred.
The flood in front of the City God Temple, with no end in sight, seemed to suddenly appear a force, and it struggled to bring the flood"Split", the flood immediately turned into two torrents, and then rushed around the century-old City God Temple.
People were amazed by this incredible scene and bowed to the city god, acknowledging that the flood in front of the temple flowed spontaneously, and that the immortal city god must be in power.
In the end, the flood finally receded, but the City God Temple became a miracle in people's mouths, because this century-old temple could make the flood automatically bypass something, and the adults could not give a reasonable explanation, but no one could have imagined that this mystery would be solved by the three children.
It all stemmed from the construction of the Ningshan Temple.
Ningxia City God Temple.
Located in Ningshan District, Ankang City, Shaanxi Province, Ningshan City God's Temple is built on a sandy platform on the bank of the Chang'an River, surrounded by water, and surrounded by a large number of ancient trees, making people feel as if they are in a fairyland on earth.
The temple covers a total area of more than 6,000 square meters, with a construction area of more than 1,000 square meters. The architecture of this temple is very quaint, similar to the ancient government offices.
From north to south, deep 17245 meters wide and only 335 meters, the whole appearance is like a big ship, when it rains a lot, this city god temple is like sailing on the Chang'an River, the scene is very spectacular.
Chang'an River is a tributary of the Meridian River, a tributary of the Hanjiang River and a tributary of the Yangtze River, originating at the southern foot of the Pinghe River in Ningshan County, flowing through Ningshan and Shiquan counties, and flowing into the Wenshui River in Lianghe Town.
The vegetation in the Chang'an River basin is in good condition, and the soil erosion is not serious, which is very suitable for human life. In ancient times, people built the Meridian Road Post Station here, and with the passage of time, the scale of the town became larger and larger, forming the current Ningshan County.
In the 50th year of Qianlong, the local ** conformed to the people's wishes, and after careful research, they chose this pile of sand on the bank of the Chang'an River to build the City God Temple.
The City God Temple is a temple dedicated to the City God, which can be found in many parts of China. This ancient building system is more common, especially in the rainy south.
The City God, commonly known as the City God, is one of the important deities widely worshiped in ancient Chinese religious culture, often worshipping local heroes and celebrities, and is the deity that can protect the safety of the city in the minds of the people.
After the construction of the Ningxia Temple, the incense here is vigorous, and it is a must-visit place for the locals to pray for blessings.
The temple has survived many floods and is still intact, so people believe that the temple is a god, and the legend of the golden duck boat is also spread in the local area.
Durbar. Legend has it that during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a pair of golden ducks drifting on the Chang'an River on a raft, and the locals believed that this was a talisman that brought good luck and blessed peace.
However, a greedy lama passing by saw a pair of golden ducks and wanted to catch them for fun.
Occasionally, the camels hanging by the river would wait for the ducklings to swim to the shore before stealing them, but after a long wait, the golden ducklings continued to swim around the river.
Kamal thought that waiting any longer would be fruitless, so he jumped directly into the river and grabbed a pair of ducks, which did not feel dangerous and still swam around carefree.
When the camels approached them and reached for them, the golden ducklings were frightened and began to flutter down the river, but soon they spread their wings and flew away.
One duck flew to the Guandi Temple, and the other hung in the air for a long time before finally landing on the sand pile of the Chang'an River. Seeing that he could not catch the golden duck, the lama had to flee in disgrace, and then the ducks continued to play in the river, resting on the sand when they were tired of playing.
In the fiftieth year of Qianlong, the local ** built a city god temple on this sacred land to bless future generations.
Behind the flood roundabout.
The story of the Golden Duck Boat has been passed down in the local area for a long time, especially when people saw the miracle of the flood spontaneously changing direction in front of the City God Temple, and it is believed that the Golden Duck protected them.
However, no matter where in the world the golden duck lives, this legend is just a beautiful dream in people's hearts.
Because the golden duck does not exist, people who believe in science naturally want to automatically bypass the truth behind the flood, after field investigation, people found that the building being built is not solid, there is no way to contain the impact of the flood, the secret is to wait until the flood does not come when the city god temple will automatically bypass.
Based on this idea, they found a large stone in front of the temple and believed that it played a role in changing the direction of the floodwater, and used scientific tools to simulate the relationship between the temple and the stones.
However, experiments have shown that stones can change the direction of floods, and when the flood is very large, the stones cannot withstand the impact and drift away.
Just when people were confused, three students from Ningshan County Middle School began to investigate in the local area.
Walking and walking, they also found the huge stone, but when they heard"The stone will be washed away during the experiments of the adults"They did not change direction, but had a new idea: there was not only this stone on the surface, there must be a bigger stone underground.
When the idea was proposed, the experts analyzed it, and the results showed that there was indeed a large part of the ground that would ensure that the stone would not move no matter how much of the flood impact it received.
It was also seen that the stone was surrounded by several stones of various sizes, and the lower part of the stone was buried deep in the ground, similar to the Yuzui embankment used by Dujiangyan in Sichuan to divert the flow of water.
When the flood comes, the huge stones block the flood, and the stones floating around block the impact of the flood, and the sand bank built by the temple also resembles a boat, which is the secret of the flood automatically playing an advantage on the back side of the river, while the stones remain on both sides of the river.
When we can't find the answer in these children, we must learn to empathize in order to find the answer.
