Anhui Qianshan Traditional Culture Compilation‖ Legend of Da Wu Temple

When I first went up to Dawu Temple in November 2017, a rape grower told me that there were monk's graves in the ridge behind the temple.

I looked up along the temple's right side of the mountain concave, passing through a small mountain stream, and finally found the monk's grave in the dense bamboo garden. Monk's grave pagoda on the upper section is newly attached, from the tomb in 2011 after the new engraved epitaph, know that this is Rikong Zen master pagoda. Parallel to the pagoda, there are many tombs three feet apart, which are local tombs from the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. I was surprised to find that in the monk's pagoda directly above the place of one zhang six feet there is a tomb. Tomb after the dam embedded with a side of the ancient monument, the monument on the horizontal head of a huge slab, half of the slab inserted in the back of Hung Hom, half of the monument on the monument, the monument on a section of the presentation of the mountain-shaped cap.

In the middle of the monument, there is a big line of characters: Imperial Grant Imaizumi Imaizumi Chengde Lang-Yeung Valley Xu Gong Shou Zang

The right side of the monument: Imaizumi Wanli Bingshen Year, Nonin Month, Nonin Day, Nonin Hour

The left side of the monument: Filial son Yao Xin Yao for Yao Mou

Later, I went through the Kangxi edition of the "Records of the Anqing Municipal Government," knowing that Xu Gao was gifted with a son, Yao Xin, for Bucheng. It turns out that the ancient test of merit, the father, the ancestor is honored because of the children and grandchildren, on the seal of the three generations. No wonder this coffin Ming Dynasty tomb, locals called Xu Buzheng tomb.

About Xu Yao Xin "Anqing Fu Zhi" Volume 10 "Shi Shi" contains:

The Republic of China nine years "Qianshan County Records" contained in line with the above. After the revision of the Qianshan County Records: Xu Yao Xin (1545-1620), the word Ru hire, No. Binyue, Qianshan people. Ming Wanli fourteen years (1586) two a twenty-seven jinshi. He served as governor of Yongzhou, Hunan Province (1592), deputy minister of military preparation in Liaoyang (1601), minister of Lingnan Province in Guangdong (1603), minister of grain storage in Shandong Province, minister of inspection in Guangdong Province, and minister of government in Guangxi Province (1607), and in 1615 he donated funds to repair the Ximen Pagoda, and when it was restored in 1617, he submitted a petition on "locust plague" for the townships to obtain a reduction in the annual canal tax. After his death, he was honored at the Xiangxian Ancestral Hall.

The ancient monument can be determined, Xu Bucheng buried father is true. The light emitting factor is Yaoxin, and he was named Buzheng. The "Anqingfu Zhi" is also contained: "heavenly favor Shen Xie" for the Xu Gao factor Xu Yao Xin father and son. It can also be understood that Xu Yaoxin's real position was the Minister of Buzheng, and his father, Xu Gao, enjoyed the level of treatment of the Minister of Buzheng. The fact that the emperor was so kind and generous to Gao and his son shows that Xu Yaoxin was a prominent figure in his career.

Xu Yao Xin buried his father on the first month of the 24th year of the Wanli calendar (1596), 425 years ago in 2021. But Buzheng Xu Gao tomb is more than 200 years later than the monk's grave below.
