Shun's Traditional Sacrifice Culture
The legendary area is mainly distributed in the Lishan area west of Qinshui County. The main towns and villages include Zhongcun Town, Tuwo Township, Zhangcun Township and Longgang Town. The area is beautiful with beautiful mountains and rivers and good vegetation, which is suitable for the life of ancient humans. There are many Shunwang Temples built here. People worship Emperor Shun, praise him and sing his praises. Not only have many legends of Shun been left here. Moreover, people built temples to worship him in order to seek his blessing and look forward to good weather and good harvests. The legend fully reflects the struggle of mankind to conquer nature in the era of Yao and Shun, and reflects the living conditions of human society in ancient times from one aspect. In the ancient times of human society, in the absence of written records, human civilization was spread orally. The legends about Shunde in the Xiachuan area of Lishan verify history and fill in the gaps. The related works of the legend include "Shun Wang Farming and Governing Lishan", "Stepmother Throwing Bracelets One Harm to Shun", "Fire Burning Wheat Two Harm to Shun", "Emperor Yao Selects Sages", "Da Shun Marries a Wife", "Ehuang Makes Medicine", "Da Shun Splits East and West Gorges with a Knife", "Legend of Lin Chimu De", "Nüying and Ehuang Dispute over Partiality", "Legend of the Bloody and Smelly Tree", etc. In 1993, Mr. Yiding, a Sichuanese writer living at the foot of Lishan Mountain in Qinshui, compiled and published the legend, titled "The Legend of Lishan and Shun".
