Introduction to Sanyang Hall: Sanyang Hall spreads the story of "Kansai Confucius - Yang Zhen". When he was 50 years old, he was giving a lecture to his disciples one day, and a strange thing happened. Three storks flew from the east, each holding a bonito fish in their mouths. After circling a few times on the roof of Yang's house, they landed on the ground in front of the lecture hall. It happened that a fortune teller passed by one after another. When he saw this scene, he took out the fish from the stork's mouth, walked into the room, and said to Yang Zhen who was teaching: "The appearance of the stork is a sign of your doctor. From now on, sir, you will be lucky." Being in the third public position is extremely valuable." Yang Zhen raised his head and looked at the person carefully, but said nothing. After a long time, Yang Zhen finally answered: "Sir, don't laugh at me. What's the use of a worthless corrupt scholar?" "Since I have been a fortune teller, I have never said anything joking. Sir, you must not be depressed. Mr. Yu will be prosperous in less than three months!" After hearing this, Yang Zhen just shook his head and smiled bitterly. "It's okay, sir, if you don't believe it, but I still have something to say. After four hundred and a half hundred years, a king will emerge from your descendants. It's a pity that the country will not last long. Only by abstaining from lust can you save your life. I hope this can be used as a family motto and set an example." Hereafter”. After the fortune teller finished speaking, he walked away.
After that, the reputation of "Kansai Confucius" grew. At that time, the general Deng Zhi heard about Yang Zhen's reputation and recommended him as a "maocai". He was promoted to four levels in a row, first as the governor of a prefecture, then as the governor of Jingzhou, then as the prefect of Donglai, and then as the prefect of Donglai. Then he went to Situ Taiwei. After Yang Zhen rose to prominence, he remembered the fortune teller's words and often warned his descendants not to be greedy for money or sex.
