This ancient temple has a well-known love story

Pujiu Temple: Founded in the Tang Dynasty. There is a well-known love story about this ancient temple, which took place in Yongji Pujiu Temple. Old lady Zheng, with her daughter Cui Yingying, son Huanlang, maid Hongniang, and the coffin of the former prime minister Cui, was on her way back to her hometown. They stayed temporarily in the west wing of Pujiu Temple. Cui Yingying and Zhang Sheng, a poor scholar, fell in love at first sight in the temple. Zhang Sheng also lived in the temple for his exam preparation. At that time, the situation was chaotic, and the rebels surrounded Pujiu Temple and wanted to rob Cui Yingying as the wife of the village. The old lady had no choice but to promise 'whoever can repel the rebels and rescue them, she will marry her daughter to him, and even give a dowry'. Zhang Sheng wrote a letter to his friend, the White Horse General, who saved everyone. However, the old lady went back on her word and wanted to recognize each other as siblings. However, with the help of Hongniang, Zhang Sheng and Cui Yingying had already decided to spend their lives together and agreed to meet again after Zhang Sheng's exam. This is the story of 'The West Chamber'. I like Wang Shipu's ending of lovers finally getting together. Although the plot is a bit lacking in impact, there are already many tragic love stories, and it's also good to have a happy ending. Walking in Pujiu Temple, looking at Cui Yingying's former residence, Yingying Tower, etc., imagining that beautiful love story, is also very interesting.
