At the foot of Xuanweng Mountain in the southwest of Taiyuan, Shanxi Province, there is an ancient royal temple complex - Jinci. Not only are the mountains and rivers here beautiful, the scenery is world-famous, but the rare cultural relics such as the Notre Dame Hall, Fish Marsh Flying Beam, Jellyfish Tower, and Xian Hall in the temple are even more gorgeous treasures in the history of Chinese architecture! The cultural heritage here is also very rich, and it was originally called Tang Shu Yu Temple. (Ji Yuci, younger brother of King Cheng of Zhou); the source of Jinshui, the State of Jin, and Jinyang City (Yang of Jinshui) are named after it; feudal emperors such as Gao Yang, Gao Wei, Yang Guang, Shi Jingtang, Zhao Guangyi, and Zhao Zhen all once built their empire here. Construction projects were built and royal titles were granted; it was here that the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan, and his son Li Shimin raised troops; in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, Fu Shan, a great Confucian scholar and a famous scholar in Zhu Yi, also lived here in seclusion, practiced Taoism, and practiced martial arts...
During the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, an unusual chivalrous woman came out of Jinci Town (also known as Jinci Fort) adjacent to Jinci Temple. She was naturally beautiful, extremely beautiful, strong in character and skilled in martial arts. The local people affectionately compared her to the image of Jinci Temple, the symbol of the Jellyfish Empress, and the incarnation of the Holy Mother Yijiang! At the same time, she is also a Taoist lay practitioner, with the Taoist name Jin Gu.
When the Qing Dynasty took over the Central Plains, it adopted discriminatory and suppressive policies against people of other ethnic groups, including the Han people. In addition to implementing bad policies such as "enclosure", "cities massacre", "fugitive law" and "surrender", it also promulgated "hair shaving orders", "change orders" and "leaving the head but not the hair". A series of cruel orders such as "Keep your hair but not your hair" triggered civil uprisings in various places... Under this political background, influenced by the spiritual thoughts of Mr. Fu Shan, a Taoist in Zhuyi, Jingu led the Taoist people to rise up in the Jinci area...
