There is also a touching story about the origin of the old goose in Qinlan. Words. In the Song Dynasty, a great official named Zhu Xun appeared in Qin Lan, and he was an assistant minister of the Ministry of Industry. At that time, he and his concubine Liu had a son named Shou Chang. Later, somehow, when Zhu Shouchang was young, Liu was abandoned and the mother and son were separated for 5 years. After Zhu Shouchang became an adult, his official career was proud, and he was the official to discuss doctors. At this time, he remembered the three years when he lived with his abandoned mother. Because he was eager for his mother and didn't think about tea and rice, his health went from bad to worse. His attendants recalled the scene of herding geese when Shou Chang lived with his mother when he was young. The attendants painstakingly studied and made a cooked goose in brine. Zhu Shouchang's appetite increased greatly after eating, and his body gradually recovered. However, the feeling of missing the mother was not alleviated. In the end, Zhu Shouchang abandoned his official position to find his mother. After suffering, the mother and son finally reunited. After the reunion, Zhu Shouchang ordered his attendants to cook special braised goose every day to enjoy with his mother. Because he is from Qinlan, he named the braised goose Qinlan braised goose. After thousands of years, although the goose-making technology has not changed much, today people are used to calling it Qinlan Old Goose. Practice: keep it secret, and few people know the authentic practice.
Zhu shouchang, whose name is uncle kang. His father's name is Zhu Xun, and he was an assistant minister of the Ministry of Industry during the Song Renzong period. His biological mother Liu was Zhu Xun's concubine. Zhu Shouchang has served as a magistrate of Langzhou and a secretary of agriculture and youth, and has made great achievements. Later, he abandoned his official position to find his mother and became famous for his filial piety. Wang Anshi and Su Shi all wrote poems to praise him. When Zhu Shouchang was seven years old, his biological mother, Liu, was forced out of the house because she was jealous of her first mother, and his biological mother remarried. The first mother is Zhu Shouchang's father's wife, and Zhu Shouchang's biological mother should be the concubine of the wing. After his biological mother left, Zhu Shouchang and his biological mother did not see each other for fifty years. This is what the poem says: "Born at the age of seven, I left my mother and participated in business for 5 years". "Shen" and "Shang" are the names of the stars in the sky. Shen Youshi (from 5: pm to 7: pm) appears in the west, Shang Su is also called Chen Xing, and Mao Shishi (from 5: am to 7: am) appears in the east. They don't appear in the sky at the same time, which means that they can't meet each other far apart, so there is the saying of "Shen Chen Mao You". Gradually, Zhu Shouchang grew up, and with his own efforts and talents, he became an official. In the later days, although Zhu Shouchang's life has always been very good, his biological mother has always been a thorn in his mind. No child does not miss his biological parents, not to mention that when his mother was forced out of the house, Zhu Shouchang was sensible and had a deep memory. Finally, when it came to the Song Shenzong Dynasty, Zhu Shouchang decided to abandon his official position and enter the present Shaanxi and Gansu areas to find his birth mother. His move also caused an uproar at home, but Zhu Shouchang resolutely adhered to his decision, regardless of other people's opposition and did not listen to others' discouragement. Before leaving home, when Zhu Shouchang said goodbye to his family, he swore that he would never come back until he found his birth mother! Along the way, he went through a lot of hardships and never gave up. After Zhu Shouchang's mother left Zhujiajian, she married a man surnamed Dang and gave birth to several children. Later, when he stayed in the same state, he found his mother. At that time, his biological mother was over seventy years old. When the mother and son knew each other, they cried bitterly and told each other their hearts. Zhu Shouchang took his mother home with several half-siblings. A few years later, his mother died, and Zhu Shouchang was so miserable that he almost cried his eyes out. After his mother died, Zhu Shouchang took care of his half-brother and sister more thoughtfully. According to folklore, Zhu Shouchang's mother was afraid of thunder when she was alive, and Zhu Shouchang was afraid that her mother's undead would be frightened by thunder. Every spring and summer, as long as it thundered, Zhu Shouchang lay on her mother's grave, protecting her day and night, storming and never leaving. Since then, Zhu Shouchang's dutiful son has gained great fame.
Today, one kilometer to the east of Qinlan Town, Tianchang City, Anhui Province, there is a thousand-year-old cypress, which is said to have been planted by Zhu Shouchang, the eldest son, beside his mother's grave, and is called the filial tree. According to legend, the origin of this tree is this: Zhu Shouchang's mother was afraid of thunder when she was alive. After her death, Zhu Shouchang always held an umbrella to the grave to guard her during the thunderstorm. After three years of filial piety, Zhao Yong of Song Shenzong honored his filial piety and reinstated the imperial edict officer. Before Zhu Shouchang left Qin Lan, he went to his mother's grave and planted a pine and cypress to represent him to accompany his mother forever. In the previous story about the dutiful son, there were also dutiful sons who either went to his mother's grave to guard his mother or held an umbrella at his mother's grave when it thundered. In fact, many dutiful sons' behaviors all lead to the same goal.
Today, the remains of this filial piety culture have also been taken seriously. Due to the long history, the ancient cypress has been tilted. The party committee and government of Qinlan Town, together with relevant departments, spent more than 4, yuan to protect the Millennium Gu Song, and built a "Shou Chang Park" integrating filial piety culture, Buddhist culture, modern culture and education base in this famous scenic spot. Those who have been to the local area say that there is also a kind of "Zhu Xiaozi braised goose", also known as "Qin Lan braised goose", which has a legend with Zhu Xiaozi. It is said that Zhu Shouchang lived with his mother for three years when her biological mother Liu was abandoned. For three years, mother and son lived alone, and life was lonely. Zhu Shouchang made a living by releasing geese, and his father brought him back to raise him. Zhu Shouchang's three-year hard life experience with his mother is unforgettable. After becoming an official, he misses his mother every day. "Eating and drinking are rare, and words are watery." Family members and attendants remembered his experience of releasing geese when he lived with his mother, which made the chef marinate cooked geese and increase his appetite. Zhu Shouchang ate it, and his appetite really increased. Since then, he must eat every meal, and his body gradually recuperated. However, every time Zhu Shouchang eats geese, he misses his mother more urgently, so he abandons his official position and goes thousands of miles to find his mother. After the reunion of mother and son, Shou Chang felt better, and even more fond of braised goose. He told his attendants to marinate cooked goose with his mother every day, so as to enjoy the rest of his life, and called himself "Shou Chang braised goose". Later, the secret craft of "Shou Chang Braised Goose" spread all over Qinlan Village. The villagers admire Zhu Shouchang's filial piety and call him "Zhu Xiaozi Braised Goose". Although this kind of braised goose production technology has been passed down for thousands of years, it is still intact.
