Legend of Bigan Temple
Version 1
“Water spinach” is the most famous legend of Bigan temple. It is said that after Bigan was dissected by King Zhou, his loyal soul touched the heaven. The Jade Emperor sent Jiang Ziya to rescue him. Bigan was silent and rode southward. When he reached Xinxiang, he could grow a new heart. He covered his robe and didn’t speak. His face looked like earth color. He drove his horse southward. Unexpectedly, when he came to Muye, he met an old woman who had become Daji and was Hawking water spinach.
Bi Gan asked: “vegetables can live without heart. How about people without heart?” The old woman replied, “vegetables can live without a heart. People should die without a heart.” After hearing this, Bigan spat blood and fell to his death. The loyal soul turns into a thousand year old blue, and the red hole looks like a cloud.
To this day, clusters of water spinach still grow on the tomb of Bigan and in the fields around the temple. Water spinach, with three leaves and no heart, is thought to be made of the seven orifices of dried rice. The rapid development of history has erased people’s memory of ancient historical facts, and gradually evolved into this mysterious legend to place their respect and sorrow on Bian Gan.
Version 2
As the younger brother of emperor B of the Shang Dynasty, Bigan was granted the title of minister. Emperor B died of illness, and King Zhou succeeded to the throne. With the help of Bigan, he worked hard to govern the country and the people. The Yin and Shang Dynasties became increasingly prosperous and powerful. However, King Zhou followed and indulged in wine and lust, placed important positions on treacherous ministers, and neglected loyal ministers. The Yin and Shang Dynasties quickly embarked on the road of decline.
As a result, “it’s better to die than to be remonstrated by Gan if the micro Zi goes and the Qizi becomes a slave”. It is said that when Bigan died, he was dug out by King Zhou, and his blood stained star terrace. In order to commemorate the loyalty of Bigan, the star picking platform of Yindu Chaoge was later changed to the heart picking platform. A stone square was built on it, with three simple, vigorous and powerful “martyr’s Square” written on it. A solemn and stirring couplet was engraved on the middle stone column: “the loyalty of steel, the courage of benevolence, the sadness of coolness, and the sadness of sadness!” It’s the best compliment for comparison.
It is said that after being dissected, Bigan, with the guidance of God and man, traveled 70 miles southward to Xindi township to change his heart, but could not talk to people on the way.
On his way, Bigan saw an old woman watering the vegetable garden. All the dishes were careless. He asked, “can this careless vegetable live?” The old woman said fiercely: “people don’t want to die, but they still want to live, let alone this dish?” The seven orifices of Bigan Qi bled, and he fell to the ground and died. At that moment, the sky was angry and the earth was angry, the wind was fierce, and the sand and rocks covered Bigan’s body, forming a sand dune, which is the tomb of Bigan buried in heaven. After King Wu of the Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Shang Dynasty, he led his ministers here to seal the earth and worship. Long Bigan was a loyal minister and wrote an epitaph to express his respect.
After King Wu destroyed Zhou, he found madam Bigan and her son in the forest of Taihang Mountain. When they took refuge, they relied on the fruits of the forest as food to survive. Therefore, King Wu gave Lin the surname and named him Duke mu of Lin. Thus, the Lin family in the world can compare themselves. There are also donations from Lin’s societies around the world in the Bigan temple. Now, every spring, representatives of Lin’s descendants come here to worship their ancestors.
