According to legend, March 16th of the lunar calendar is Sun Liang's birthday. In April 1 1, a worship ceremony was held in Fusong County to commemorate Sun Liang, the pioneer of digging ginseng in the east.
There is such a legend about mountain gods. In the early Qing Dynasty, there was a family named Sun in Laiyang, Shandong Province. The old couple have a son named Sun Liang. One year, Laiyang was hit by a once-in-a-century drought, and villagers were displaced and fled to other places.
Sun Liang heard that Changbai Mountain in Kanto produces ginseng, so he went to Kanto for a visit. He went through all kinds of hardships to Changbai Mountain, where he met a fellow named Zhang Lu.
After the talk, they hit it off very well, so they embraced the earth as a stove, inserted grass as incense, and became brothers of life and death. Sun Liang is two years older than Zhang Lu. Sun Liang is his brother, and Zhang Lu is his brother.
One day, they went to find ginseng separately. Sun Liang found many four-leaf sticks on a shady slope. He shouted, "sticks!" "Then tied a few plants with red rope.
He was overjoyed and dug carefully as usual. When he left, he carved a "sign" (mark) on the tree there, happily holding ginseng and waiting for his brother Zhang Lu in the shack.
But after waiting for three days, Zhang Lu did not come back. Sun Liang was worried about his brother's accident, so he went to the vast forest to look for it. Looking for 36 days, I was hungry and tired, and fainted next to a big lying cow stone. After waking up, he bit his finger and wrote on the big lying cow stone:
"He lives in Laiyang, surnamed Sun, and has traveled across the ocean to dig ginseng.
Looking for a good brother all over the mountains, I don't want to see my brother.
Someone will come to see me in the future, Chagudong. "
Later, Sun Liang died next to this lying cow stone. In fact, his brother Zhang Lu also went to "Mada Mountain" (lost his way) and finally died on the mountain.
However, Sun is dead. The body leaned against the stone.
Why? He is thinking about his brother Zhang Lu, and he will die unsatisfied! A group of mountain hunters came here and saw the words on the stone. They all admire Sun Liang, and they have been telling his story. The villagers worshipped Sun Liang very much, and later they regarded Sun Liangfeng as their ancestor.
