The legend of Wenchang Emperor:

Wenchang Emperor was enshrined in many Taoist temples in China, and Taoism accepted this immortal around the 6th century. It is said that Emperor Wenchang is the son of the emperor, and he will continue to be reincarnated for the benefit of the people. He is a powerful god, in charge of study and examination. 14th century later, this immortal was enshrined in many schools in China. His birthday is on February 3rd of the lunar calendar. Especially in the Qing dynasty, even the emperor sent people to congratulate him on his birthday. It can be seen that although Emperor Wenchang is a Taoist god, he has a strong Confucian color.

The legend recorded in other documents is that there was a Zhejiang man named Zhang Ya in the Tang Dynasty who later moved to Zitong, Sichuan as a teacher. He is not only noble and honest, but also brilliant and respected. After his death, people worshipped him as a god in memory of him. Over time, it was believed by the imperial courts of past dynasties and gradually evolved into the patron saint of literature, scholarship and examination, and gradually became known as the Wenchang Emperor.

Wenchang Dijun introduced:

Wenchang Emperor is a god in charge of literati's fame and fortune, which is respected by China folk and Taoism. Wenchang star's real star, also known as wenchang star, or satellite, was considered as the star in charge of Moire's reputation in ancient times. Wenchang Emperor, who became a folk and Taoist belief in China, was related to Zitong God Zhang Yazi. In the second year of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (374), yu zhang, a native of Shu, claimed to be the King of Shu, rose up and rebelled against Fu Jian, the former Qin Dynasty, and died heroically. People built the yu zhang Temple for him in Qiqu Mountain in Zitong County, honorably calling him Razer Dragon God.

At that time, there was also a Zitong Shenzi Temple in Qiqu Mountain. Because the two temples are adjacent, later generations collectively called them Zhang Yazi, and said that Zhang Yazi died as an official in the Jin Dynasty. This is actually about Zhang Yuzhi in the Book of Jin. ?
