The origin of Ziziphus jujuba tablets

During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a Gaojia in Zaoqiang County, Hebei Province. Gao's land is fertile and his family business is huge. That is a well-off family. Its owner was a scholar in his early years. After his fifties, he was named Feng Dan, and he liked it very much. He has asked a famous teacher nearby to teach him to write since he was a child. Feng Dan is smart and studious. He got a scholar at the age of 14, which can be said to be promising. My aunt surnamed Liu is also a local rich man. She has only one daughter, Feng Dan's cousin, named Chaoyang, who is two years younger than Feng Dan. She is a good family. Feng Dan and Chaoyang grew up together, childhood friends, congenial, natural love. On a full moon night when Feng Dan/Kloc was 0/6 years old, they planted a wild jujube tree with strong vitality in front of the house, and made a pledge of eternal love, making a millennium promise. The two old people also wanted to kiss each other and exchanged wedding stickers early, hoping that the two families would get married as adults.

Just when they are full of joy and look forward to a better future, they don't want to change suddenly. The court made a will and confiscated the property of the local rich households, as well as all the property of Feng Dan and Chaoyang. Feng Dan was forced to join the army because he was the only young man in Gaos. Feng Dan's parents and aunt's family, as well as local villagers, formed a formation and moved to Shandong. In desperation, the two families had to take what the court allowed and move to Shandong. Before Feng Danshen's army, he learned that Chaoyang and his family would move to Shandong. Think of yourself as a scholar. Now he has been drafted into the army. He didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and he couldn't help feeling dejected. On a dark night, he and Chaoyang dug up the jujube trees they had just planted for a year and told Chaoyang to take them to Shandong. The two broke up in tears.

Later, after a long journey, Chaoyang came with the team to live in Dawa Village, Wang Guan Town. Most of this village is named Gaojiawa, which is located in a depression. Later, a village called Xiaowa was formed in the west of the village, and Gaojiawa was changed to Dawa. Chaoyang planted jujube trees symbolizing her love with Feng Dan by the inlet in front of the village. I hope Zizyphus jujuba can survive, and I hope Feng Dan can come back one day earlier to reunite with her.

Although the jujube tree has lost a lot of water after a long journey, it miraculously survived and gave hope to the sunrise.

The waiting days are particularly long. Seven years in Chaoyang.

Jujube trees grow slowly and bloom every year, but they don't bear fruit.

Seven years ago, Feng Dan was sent to defend the border in northern Xinjiang. After joining the army, Feng Dan learned to ride a horse and shoot arrows, and learned to arrange troops. From an ordinary soldier to an China army. Five years later, he won the meritorious military service and was named "Tiger General". Feng Dan hasn't forgotten his family, not to mention his cousin. When he became a general, Feng Dan sent three capable people to visit relatives in Shandong. After a year's investigation, I finally found Gaojiawa and Feng Dan's relatives.

That year, Ding, our immediate boss, saw all the talents and was very attractive. He called Feng Dan to Zhong Jun's account and publicly announced that he would marry his daughter to Feng Dan. Feng Dan is by no means a fickle person, not to mention that he has found out the whereabouts of the person he loves. Even if there is no news from his relatives, he will not immediately admit the marriage. I'll tell you about my engagement to Dingyuanhou at present, to show my mind. "Dingyuan Hou" was refused marriage by his subordinates in public. On the surface, he is generous and tolerant, but he bears a grudge in the mainland. Later, he released Feng Dan on the charge of "unwarranted". Feng Dan looked down on her career, saying only that she was ill and returned to the battlefield before being reunited with her family.

When Gao Laohan saw his son's safe return, he felt that heaven had eyes, although he didn't go home in rags. The first thing is to choose an auspicious day for my son to marry. Everything will be fine. All shall be well, jack shall have Jill. The men, women and children in the village are very happy.

At that time, the Ziziphus jujuba tree had grown tall and strong, and there was no second tree within a few hundred miles of Fiona Fang, Fiona Fang, which had long been called "Ziziphus jujuba King" by the local people. In the year when Feng Dan married Chaoyang, the "Jujube King" produced big and sweet dates.

Three years later, Feng Dan and Chaoyang had a pair of children. The son was named Gao, and the daughter was named Liu Jinfeng after her mother. Later, with Chaoyang, men plowed and women wove, and spent their lives safely.

Because the Zizyphus jujube tree grows on the edge of the inlet, two main roots are exposed under the rain, and it actually hugs tightly together, much like a pair of lovers reunited after a long separation. I wonder how many years have passed. Feng Dan and Chaoyang are long gone, but the two main roots of jujube trees have always been hugs and kisses. ...

After the death of Feng Dan and Chaoyang, the jujube tree leans a little towards the inlet every year, and then it is almost close to the water surface.

According to the local villagers, when he was a child, he often "walked" (because the tree was tilted and didn't have to climb at all) to play on the jujube tree and eat the dates on the tree with his friends. Take a small bamboo pole, stir it a few times, and the dates will fall into the water, and then wade to pick up the dates to eat. He said it might be the best jujube in the world. Fortunately, a new Ziziphus jujuba tree was born in the place where Ziziphus jujuba King once grew up, and in the year when Ziziphus jujuba King was wiped out. It must be the "descendant" of Ziziphus jujuba King. The new Zizyphus jujuba tree has grown for more than 20 years, with a height of more than 2 meters and a DBH 10cm. Unfortunately, the new jujube tree has not yet borne fruit.

How many things in the past and how many years have been put into the conversation. The once wild jujube tree is gone, but it and that beautiful story will remain in people's hearts forever.

Version 2

Twenty miles north of Yanjin County, at the eastern end of Shipo Ancient Village, there is a sand dune. There is an ancient Zizyphus jujube tree on the sand dune, and its arm cannot be folded. According to legend, Yanjin was called Ziziphus jujuba County in ancient times, hence its name. Today, there are still many touching stories circulating here.

During the reign of Emperor Taizong, a favored queen in the palace fell ill. After too much diagnosis and treatment by doctors, her condition has not deteriorated. Emperor Taizong wrote a letter and visited famous doctors all over the world, but her illness still didn't get better. For this, many people were beheaded. Xu Maogong, a North Korean military strategist, occasionally dreams at night. In his dream, he saw an old man say to him, "If you want to cure the disease of Niangniang, you need to use Ziziphus jujuba seeds on Ziziphus jujuba Mountain as a medicine guide." At dawn, Xu Maogong told the story. Too sectarian people went to Yanjin to get Ziziphus jujuba seed, and the queen ate Chinese patent medicine made of Ziziphus jujuba seed, and the disease really recovered.

After the Queen's illness, the King of Tang felt that this tree was a miracle on earth, so he sent Wei Chijingde to build a temple and pavilion on Zizyphus jujuba Mountain to thank the gods. Respect for morality. Lead craftsmen to Yanjin. First, the Dongyue Temple was restored, and then one was built in the shape of a tree. Long Lihui's yellow pavilion and pavilion have a thick branch in the northeast corner, which is called the "dragon head". It is said that "when the pavilion was built at that time, Jingdezhen hung Strafe on the branches, and the two beams at the top of the pavilion were the roots of red wattle cultivated by a monk, which were repaired by Lu Ban and sent here overnight.

It is said that there were twenty wild jujube trees like this at that time. The others grew outside the pavilion and died slowly. There is only one tree left. The Zizyphus jujuba on this tree is three or four times larger than the general prickly fruit, with sweet and sour taste, Shuang Ren stone, transparent and shiny, and looks like the heads of twin babies. If the jujube leaves are picked and hung in the house, no matter how long they are kept, the peel will not dry up. As soon as the poor people in Fangyuan fell ill, they came to burn incense and sacrifice, and took some wild jujubes as medicine, which really cured the disease. Later, some dignitaries came to Wan Li not far away to worship, but seeing that Zizyphus jujuba was not desirable, they ordered their families to scrape some bark back. Over time, the only precious tree was blown to death. In the Ming Dynasty, Dongyue Temple and Pavilion collapsed one after another, but new plants grew on the roots of dead trees. At that time, Yao, Gao and Chen invested to build this fence. Then the new plants died, and then a square attic eight feet wide and two feet high was built to protect the trunk. There is a small door facing south in the attic, and there is a small window and a hole in the upper part of the east and west gables. In the shed building of the pavilion, the stone tablet is embedded in the north wall upstairs, engraved with the word "hanging whip" There is also a stone tablet embedded in the north wall downstairs. The Ancient Jujube Map written by Dai Li, an official in the Ming Dynasty, is located in the pavilion, just like a strange stone wall. Although it was cut by a knife and axe, the chest circumference was still 1.92 meters. Only the traces of new plants are gone!
