  1. The full name of Zhengzhou Chenghuang Temple is the Lingyou Hou Temple of Zhengzhou City. Located on the north of the east section of the urban shopping mall. Zhengzhou people say that Zhengzhou City is not the same as the city of the city. Because Zhengzhou City
    has picked up driving twice and seal the Hou twice.

    The Zhengzhou City Huang has been driving twice, and the two seal
    The legend is the first year of the Ming Hongwu. At that time, the ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty patrolled the world. On this day, he came from Guidefu, Henan (now Shangqiu) to Zhengzhou. When he walked to the Yellow River near Zhengzhou, he was not dazzling, but he was sleepy, and Zhu Yuanzhang ordered to stop and rest. At this time, the local officials of Zhengzhou were reported to take over, and Zhu Yuanzhang faintly saw a group of officials who worshiped 100 meters away in the darkness, and then instructed: "The sky is too dark, wait for the sky to drive up before driving." Take everyone away. As soon as these people left, a light suddenly appeared, illuminating the river by the river. I was surprised and reported to Zhengzhou Zhizhou to come to meet. How could there be two officials in Zhengzhou? Zhu Yuanzhang was suspicious, so he said, "You go back first, just welcome to the city after Tianming." After sending away local officials, Zhu Yuanzhang set off and walked with the light, and came to Zhengzhou Chenghuang Temple. Zhu Yuanzhang understood that the local officials who took the driving first were the city god. Seeing the dark road of the sky, he took the fire and took the road. For a while, the dragon was overjoyed.
    The other driving was in the Qing Dynasty. Emperor Qianlong's micro -service visited to Zhengzhou. I did not know how to go at the east gate. Qianlong was very moved, and he immediately named him "leading the road" and ordered Zhengzhou to reshape the golden body for the city. After receiving the imperial decree, Zhengzhou officials reshaped the statue of the city grandfather with iron and wood, wearing python robes and jade belts. The grandfather of the city grandfather also hidden in the body, the knee can be moved, can be sitting or standing. When someone burned incense, the Taoist next to him stole the agency, and the city god stood up. People thought that the city grandfather was clear, and he was believed to be more convinced by the city grandfather.
    Because it was sealed by the emperor, Zhengzhou City was married to his wife. With three ladies, Zhengzhou also repaired the three saint temples to worship three city grandma. The responsibilities of the three grandma of the city have their own division of labor. It is said that Grandma Grandma is a native of Du Ling, Zhengzhou, and a lady of the grandfather of the city. The parents and the villagers in the dream when they marry the wedding scene: the city grandfather wore a crown, wore a yellow robe, and married himself. Essence Caiqi and bands opened, and the judges followed the sedan, blowing a lot, and very punching. Therefore, Du Ling's people not only did not burn incense, but also dared to touch the city grandfather, because Zhengzhou custom maid family could mess with her aunt, and her aunt was not annoyed.
    The legend of Zhengzhou Chenghuang's driving is true, but the matter of Zhu Yuanzhang's Fenghou really exists. In the second year of the Ming Hongwu (1369), Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang sealed the city, saying "the city goddess is worshiped, it is advisable to seal the jue". Zhengzhou City was named Lingyouhou. In the three years of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the construction of the city god temple in the scale of the gates of the same government government at the same level and worshiped the wood master. As a result, government government has rebuilt or expanded the city god temple, and the carved wood is like a golden body.
    The Zhengzhou City God Temple, which was rebuilt many times,
    According to the document, China has the Chenghuang Temple in 239 AD. After experiencing the emperor's sealing, the city God Temple gradually spread throughout the country. Originally, the city was an image that people imagined.
    Pelasum of the city after the Song Dynasty, and the local loyalty of loyalty festival was regarded as the god of the city. According to researchers, Zhengzhou City Grandpa is Ji Xin. Ji Xin was the general of Han Gaozu Liu Bang. When he was youth, he fought against the Qin with Liu Bang, and later competed with Chu Bawang Xiang Yu. Liu Bang was besieged by Xiang Yu in Puyang City, and the food was broken, and the situation was critical. Ji Xin took the Savior and dressed up as Liu Bang's fraud, so that Liu Bang was able to escape, but he was burned by Xiang Yu. His loyal moves moved the world, and many places were regarded as the god of the city. However, whether Zhengzhou City is the Ji Xin, it is yet to be discussed, because Zhengzhou people have always believed that Zhengzhou City City is a civil servant rather than a general, and the statues of the city of the city were also like civil servants.
    The construction age of Zhengzhou City God Temple has been unsuccessful. According to the "Zheng County Chronicle" of the Republic of China (1916), the Ming and Qing Dynasties have been rebuilt many times. The Chenghuang Temple is south of the south, and the original area of ​​about ten acres is composed of the gate, the court, the theater (also known as the Lower Tower), the main hall, the rejuvenation palace, and the east and west gallery houses. There are differences in the roof form, which reflects all three forms of Xieshan, hanging mountains, and hard mountain styles commonly used in ancient Chinese buildings. The construction is delicate and solid.
    The legend of the folk about the city
    For hundreds of years, Zhengzhou City God Temple has already entered the life of Zhengzhou people. Talking or praying for wishes, the folk has a lot of legendary stories about the city, such as the city of the city, the city of the city, the city of the city god temple, and the city of the city.
    The content of the story of the Chenghuang Studio is roughly: the original time, there were no people around the Chenghuang Temple. Behind the temple in the northeast corner of the city, all the lakes of the lake, the wild grass spread, the wild tree became forest, and there were some unparalleled lords. There is a stone cave on the wall of the coffin, and there is a large python in the cave. Occasionally, the people who are in the past are often sucked into the air and throw it down. One day, the old man who picked up the dung came here, and when he was passing by the stone hole in the city wall, he couldn't help but glance in it. Not only did he have no snakes in the cave, but also three bunch of copper coins. He saw that no one was everywhere. He hurried in and picked up three bunch of copper coins. He was about to turn around, but found that the deep light was dazzling and full of gold and silver treasures. He thought: This is what I should get rich. Come and use the car at night. So look at the terrain position, close the stone gate, and grab two green mud pastes to make a secret note.
    Is when he rushed to Yunbao at night, he could no longer find Shidong Shimen. He was in a hurry to find out, and there were two red lanterns in the south and came over: "Have you done the city grandfather let the repair of the Beihuang Library Wall?" "I have hired someone to repair it. Strong, he also gave him three bunch of money. "" This person is also the time to be lucky of the three bunch of money, and he can't afford it anymore. "The old man in picking up was discouraged when he heard it. Since then, no one has seen Shidong Shimen in the vault. This story is quite fateful, teaching people to be poverty and cheap, and do not think about it.
    This Temple that can most affect the life of Zhengzhou people is the annual temple fair and city gods. On July 15th of the lunar calendar, the Taoist Taoist and the Capital of the Four Street Clubs will jointly organize a large -scale city patrol to reduce crimes and exempt local officials. The people in the four townships chant more chanting and participated in the event.
    Early in the morning, the city of the city was invited to the official sedan, and the 60 strong men were carried in turn. The fourth street will lead, the gongs and drums have opened the road, and the full deacon such as Jingua Ax, the heavenly kick, the half -side driver, and the flag umbrella. Later, the four Taoist sedes were carried out. Later, the stilts, lions, and dry boat social fire teams. The mighty mass teams, including horses, some who are dressed as prisoners, those who are dressed as local ghosts, and those who wear locks ... More than ten miles along the way, people are crowded, and they are filled in the lane.
    The rest in the palace at noon, and continued to cruise at night, adding lanterns and dragon lanterns, the scene is more and spectacular. At that time, most of the people who were dressed as ghosts were temporarily hired beggars or children of poor people, and some filial sons were voluntarily dressed as criminals for the filial piety to avoid crimes for their parents. Someone once Fu poetry said this vulgar: "Yuding Xiang welcomes the puppet, that is, the heart is the true faith. scene.
