In Lucheng City, Changzhi: Liu Xiu got the village name Wang Mang after eating persimmons and chased Liu Xiu from Pingshun County into Qingkou Village in Lucheng.
At this time, Liu Xiuren was tired, hungry and thirsty, so he lay down under a persimmon tree and sighed.
Just when he was hungry and thirsty, a fruit suddenly fell from the tree, and it fell right into Liu Xiu's mouth. When he ate it, he felt it was sweet, fragrant, and refreshing.
He said to himself: "If I ascend the throne and become emperor in the future, I will first name this fruit Qingkou." Later, after Liu Xiu defeated Wang Mang and ascended the throne, he remembered the fruit falling from the tree and thought to himself.
A reward should be given to the life-saving tree.
One day, Liu Xiu went out of the palace alone to look for a fruit-bearing tree outside the city, but he could not find such a fruit-bearing tree.
Because it was late autumn back then, but now it is warm spring.
Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu thought about it carefully and remembered that the tree had large and long leaves, so he mistaken the chun tree for the persimmon tree and named it the national tree (King of Trees).
When the persimmon tree learned about it, it became very angry. Later, the more and more it thought about it, the more and more angry it became. Finally, it was so angry that it broke its belly and heart. Gradually, it was about to die.
At this time, Hua Rong, Hua Tuo's fourth generation grandfather, was passing by under the tree. He understood the meaning of the tree very well, and even knew the reason for the persimmon tree.
Hua Rong then patched up the belly of the persimmon tree with mud and covered it with longevity skin.
Since then, persimmon trees have relied on the longevity bark to grow to this day, and the persimmons are sweeter and cleaner.
Qingkou Village in Lucheng is also named after Liu Xiu was trapped here.
Pingshun County: Peach blossoms bloom to save Liu Xiu. On the south side of Huayuan Village in Pingshun County, there is a high mountain on the east and west sides. The two mountains are cut off in the middle, forming a large gap.
There is an oval boulder of more than 1,000 cubic meters sandwiched between the two mountaintop arches. When the wind blows, the stone can keep shaking. The locals call this stone "Crow's Bit Stone".
According to legend, at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang desperately pursued Liu Xiu.
One day, Liu Xiu was chased by Wang Mang and reached an open area.
An old farmer was driving cattle to plow the fields. Liu Xiu asked the old farmer to help him hide.
The old farmer was so anxious that he hid Liu Xiu in the furrow and let the old cow lie on him.
Wang Mang came over and asked Liu Xiu whereabouts, but the old farmer said he didn't know.
The magpie has a mean mouth and signaled to Wang Mang: "Prick it with a spear, prick it with a spear (chirp)." The crow flew by with a stone in its mouth, and then placed the stone in the middle of the two peaks of the garden village, shouting: "Nonsense."
, Nonsense (Wow)" deceived Wang Mang and saved Liu Xiu.
From then on, the place where Liu Xiu hid in the furrow was called "Wo Niu Di", and the boulder with the crow's mouth was permanently placed on the top of the two mountains in Huayuan Village. People named it "the crow's head stone".
From the south of Pingshun County to Linzhou, there is a step road called Huayuan Stairway. On the north side of Huayuan Stairway, there is a Qianren cliff like a knife.
There is a huge strange rock in the middle of the cliff, which looks like a person's heart, liver and five internal organs, and the color is the same as the real heart, liver and five internal organs.
At that time, Liu Xiu was chased by Wang Mang and fled to the cliff. In front of him was a hundred-foot abyss with no way out.
I thought that being captured by Wang Mang would be better than jumping off a cliff and committing suicide.
So he jumped into the air, but the gods held Liu Xiu up and landed safely.
When Liu Xiu jumped off the cliff, the gods transformed into a bloody heart, liver and five internal organs in the middle of the cliff to deceive Wang Mang.
When Wang Mang saw this, he thought Liu Xiu was dead and gave up pursuit.
From then on, this natural wonder was called "Liu Xiu Heart and Liver".
After Liu Xiu jumped off the cliff and landed, he hid in the Peach Blossom Cave for fear that Wang Mang would come after him again.
After Wang Mang passed away, Liu Xiu asked his military advisor if he could leave the cave. The military advisor said, "When the peach blossoms bloom at the entrance of the cave, you can leave the cave." It was a cold day at that time. Despite this, Liu Xiu sent his soldiers to the entrance of the cave to see if the peach blossoms were in bloom. Two soldiers
He reported that he was beheaded before the peach blossoms bloomed. The third soldier was afraid of death and assumed that the peach blossoms had already bloomed.
As a result, Liu Xiu came out of the hole, and the peach blossoms really bloomed.
To this day, peach blossoms still bloom in Peach Blossom Cave in winter.
Huguan County: Wangmang Gorge and Mingguang Temple The canyon in Wangmang Gorge Scenic Area in Huguan County is high and straight, and the gorge is narrow and winding; looking up from the bottom of the valley, you can only see a sliver of blue sky.
There are many stories about Wang Mang chasing Liu Xiu in Wangmang Gorge.
The most famous one is: At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang seized power and pursued Liu Xiu all the way from Henan to here. Liu Xiu saved his life by hiding in a cave deep in Wangmang Gorge.
Later, Liu Xiu hid behind a stone on the cliff. The stone made Liu Xiu invisible and was not discovered by Wang Mang.
While Wang Mang was chasing all the way, he accidentally fell into the abyss, and his heart and soul hung on the cliff, which later became the heart and soul of Wang Mang Gorge.
There is a Mingguang Temple in Jinzhuang, Huguan. One day, Liu Xiu was chased here by Wang Mang and hid in the temple.
He was hungry and hungry. He ate delicious food while sleeping, and was full of wine and food in an instant.
When I woke up, it turned out to be a dream, but I did feel energetic.
Looking up, he saw Lafayette looking at him with a smile.
Liu Xiu understood that this was the Buddha who was blessing him, so he bowed to the Buddha and said, "Thank you, Buddha, for your blessing. If Liu Xiu has a chance to succeed, he will definitely build a golden body for the Buddha." Liu Xiu walked out of the temple. It was almost dawn, and the east appeared.
A bright light.
Liu Xiu praised: "What a Mingguang Temple!" After Liu Xiu ascended the throne, he renovated the temple, rebuilt the golden body of the Buddha, and named it "Mingguang Temple".
Qin County: Liu Xiu encountered a treasure tree when he was hungry. According to legend, Liu Xiu crossed the Yellow River and went north to Shanxi Province and passed Qin County. One day while hiding from the soldiers, he came to the boundary of Shentou Village. He was gradually hungry and wanted to find something to fill his stomach.
Suddenly he saw a plant that looked like a cantaloupe on the edge of the ground, with branches and leaves stretching out in all directions.
Liu Xiu bent down and searched carefully, only to find that there was no edible melon in the empty flowers.
Liu Xiu was a little disappointed and said to the vine: "You should bear melons as soon as you see the flowers. You can harvest them even if it rains early."
