The legend of the gold-dividing pavilion is a folk literature project in the fourth batch of representative projects of Huai'an's municipal intangible cultural heritage. Historical evolution and distribution "Historical Records of Guan and Yan Biography" records: "Guan Zhong said: 'When I was in trouble, I once did business with Bao Shuya. I divided the wealth and took more of it myself. Bao Shuya did not think I was greedy, but knew that I was poor.'" Because Guan Zhong's family was poor, Bao Shuya often gave most of the profits from business to Guan Zhong, and the two had a deep friendship. The legend of the gold-dividing pavilion is based on historical facts and is widely circulated in Xuyi County and surrounding areas in northern Jiangsu. It tells the story that Guan Zhong and Bao Shuya, who were from Yingshang, Qi State in the Spring and Autumn Period, were in business together. On the way, they found a gold bar and gave it to each other. Both parties refused to accept it and gave it to the local people instead. The people built the gold-dividing pavilion to commemorate the story, which has a history of hundreds of years. Basic content and value According to legend, Guan Zhong and Bao Shuya, who were from Yingshang (now Yingshang County, Anhui Province) in the Spring and Autumn Period, were in business together. One day, when they passed through Guanzhen, Xuyi County, they found a gold bar on the roadside. Guan Zhong said to Bao Shuya, "You saw it first, so it should be yours." Bao Shuya said to Guan Zhong, "You saw it first, so it should be yours." The two refused each other, and no one was willing to take the gold bar, so they had to wait for the owner! As a result, after waiting for a long time, the owner did not appear, so they asked the servant to wait there, and the two went to a nearby village to rest. The servant was tempted by the wealth and wanted to take the gold bar for himself, but the gold bar turned into a red poisonous snake and pounced on him, scaring him to call for help. It happened that an old farmer passed by with a hoe on his shoulder. Seeing that it was a red snake, he hurriedly swung the hoe to cut the snake into two pieces, and the servant took the opportunity to slip away. The next day, Guan and Bao came to the original place and found that the servant had run away and the gold bar was divided into two pieces, feeling very confused. After an old farmer on the roadside learned about what happened, he said to them: "This is a gift from God, why don't you share it?" Guan and Bao thought, since it is a gift from God, let's share it. When dividing the gold, Bao Shuya handed the longer part to Guan Zhong and kept the shorter part for himself. But Guan Zhong refused it firmly and said: "Bao Shuya knows that my family is poor!" After refusing for a long time, neither of them wanted it, and finally decided to give the gold bars to the villagers of two nearby villages. In order to commemorate the noble character and deep friendship of Guan and Bao's gift of gold, the villagers built a "gold-dividing pavilion" where the two of them divided the gold, and renamed the two villages that received the gold bars "Guangong Pavilion" and "Baojiaji" respectively to commemorate them. Later, they were renamed Guanzhen and Baoji Town. The gold-dividing pavilion, which can be verified, was built during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, renovated during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, and renovated again in the tenth year of the Republic of China (1921), and finally destroyed in 1959. The site is located at the intersection of Fenjin Street and Taoli Street in Guanzhen, Xuyi County. In 2002, the Party Committee and Government of Guanzhen Town, Xuyi County, restored and rebuilt it. The legend of Guan and Bao dividing the gold and their moral values of valuing righteousness over profit have certain educational significance. The pavilion built to commemorate Guan and Bao has certain reference value for historical research and study. (No pictures yet, welcome to provide.) (No pictures yet, welcome to provide.)
