What travelers say:

Here is worshipping two "peace" gods, "peace" is the surname, they are brothers and sisters, sister name "peace" wide insects, is a palace female officer, deeply trusted by the emperor, and she is kind, raised many orphans, so she is responsible for the healthy growth of the child. His brother called "peace and clear Ma Lu", he is responsible for protecting the waist and waist. This kind of gentle Mr. Ma Lu looks really a group of amiable, Wen Wen quietly like a scholar, the waist and legs do not seem so strong, why can he be the waist and legs of the people's patron saint? [The story is a bit long 😆 Please read patiently] In Nara (Pingchengjing), it is called the "Nara Times". The time is 710 - 794 AD, which is in the Shengtang period of China, and they also happen to have a female emperor named Emperor De. Like Wu Zetian, this emperor also has a good-looking monk. His name is Bow-cut Daojing. The monk was deeply loved, the official to the Taizheng Minister, and even the King of France, but his ambition was very big, and even the throne was raised. One day, he played to the emperor, saying that the god of Yusa Yasaka Palace gave him a dream to let him inherit the throne. Said that the emperor of Germany originally had this intention, but it was not easy to decide, so he ordered the female officials around him to go to Usashi to confirm whether God really meant it. However, Usashi Yasaka Palace is far away in today's Kyushu area. Of course, as a woman, the Kindness Guangchong cannot go in person. So I entrusted this task to my brother and Qi Qingmalu. As a heavy minister, Qingmalu certainly understood the emperor's intentions. If he were to be a member of the horse-sliding generation, he would probably climb the pole and let the emperor go. However, he was extremely loyal to the royal family. The just-just-no-ah Qing Malu determined to stop the absurd farce with his sister. After returning to Beijing, he returned to the emperor and said that the god of Usachi Yasaka Palace replied that the emperor's throne could only be inherited by people with royal blood. This attempt to inherit the throne by cutting the mirror was bankrupt. In anger, the emperor ordered the exile of the two brothers, and the bad monk even sent the assassin to break the hamstring of Qing Malu. Later, the queen died, the new emperor felt the credit of the brother and sister, restored their official position and reputation, and recalled to Beijing to reuse it. Legend has it that Qing Malu, who resumed his official duties, went to Yusa Basaka Palace to express his gratitude to God. When he arrived, three hundred wild boar suddenly appeared, guarding and guiding him to the palace, and then something magical happened: the leg injured by the assassin, Suddenly healed miraculously! So, wild boar 🐗 became an angel of God, used to protect everyone's waist safety. In addition to loyal royalty, Qingmalu has a big historical contribution, that is, it is proposed to move to Ping An Beijing, which is now Kyoto. And he was responsible for the construction of Kyoto City. Because of the great contribution of Qingmalu in history, the ten yuan banknotes of prewar Japan (the ten yuan was a large banknote at that time) were printed in 1899, 1915, and 1930. The pattern behind the banknote is this king-protector shrine.
