On the top of the dry bag mountain, the bulge like a small tomb carries a dusty Tang Dynasty past. Whenever the dry season comes, the old people will light firewood with pious belief and burn this mysterious hill bag, as if every rising smoke can awaken the teardrops in the sky. It is said that under this mountain bag, there is an old lady who is revered as the "Mother of Dragons".
The story takes place in the military capital county of the Tang Dynasty, which is today's Changping. At that time, Di Renjie, a generation of Qing officials, enforced the law here like a mountain, impartial and selfless. In the towering Huyu Mountain on the east side of the south entrance, there is a deep cave hidden where a mother and son live by collecting firewood. However, misfortune struck, and the son was devoured by a tiger, leaving only the lonely mother. She mustered up her courage and resolutely went to Di Renjie's yamen to seek justice.
After Di Renjie heard the news, he resolutely decided to summon the tiger. The two officials went up the mountain to worship the mountain god, and a mighty tiger appeared. Faced with the questioning of the officials, it seemed to acquiesce in its own crimes, and followed them into the solemn hall of the yamen. Under Di Renjie's majestic and compassionate gaze, he did not simply execute the tiger, but proposed a judgment full of wisdom and humanity: "Since you have taken away her dependence, then you will support her instead of her son." It wasn't until she died that the case was over. ”
From then on, the tiger became a peculiar "family member", carrying a horse full of grain to the market every morning. Miraculously, the iron spoon always gets enough food to sustain them before the basket is full. Time passed, and when the tough old lady died, the tiger himself carried her to the top of the mountain and built a new grave there. Over time, the mountain bag became famous for the story of this old lady, who was revered as the "Mother of the Dragon", and the Temple of the Mother of the Dragon at the foot of the mountain continued to burn incense.
In Changping District, there is a place called Longhutai, which is said to have been the place where Di Renjie tried the case.
This story of Di Renjie's trial of the tiger is not only a praise for the wisdom and benevolence of Qing officials, but also a depth of complex emotional entanglements and ethical responsibilities in life. It tells us that everything in the world has spirituality, and that there is no absolute distinction between good and evil, but how we understand and resolve the contradictions and conflicts in them. At the same time, it also reveals the impermanence and sorrow of life, as well as the profound philosophy that human truth can transcend species and life and death.
