Introduction to scenic spots

It is a natural rock about 2.5 meters long, 1.3 meters high and 1.5 meters wide, which is almost rectangular. It is engraved with "the reading place of Zhu Gong, the prefect of Han Kuaiji". When we talk about Zhu Maichen's reading desk, we must talk about Zhu Maichen. He was a famous minister in the Western Han Dynasty, but he was a late bloomer. It is said that he used to make a living by collecting firewood, but he loved to study very much. When he had a little leisure, he would hold a book to read. However, for this reason, he was often ridiculed and scolded by his wife. Her wife thought that a firewood man would waste so much time reading books. Anyway, she would not make any profit. In order not to make her laugh, Zhu Maichen would secretly read for a while when he went up the mountain to cut firewood. When he came home, he would hide all his books under the stone. Now, the ancient town where dome mountain is located is called book collection town. As the saying goes, when Zhu Maichen was 50 years old, he finally had a chance to show his talent in front of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty and was entrusted with an important task. Unfortunately, his wife is too insightful, did not see this is a good stock, long ago and Zhu Maichen divorced. It is said that when Zhu Maichen returned to his hometown in honor, his wife wanted to continue the old relationship with him. Zhu Maichen splashed a basin of water on the ground and said, "you can pour out the water and take it back, then we can break the mirror and get back together." his wife left shamefully, which is the source of the allusion of "it's hard to get rid of the past".
