Fan Li once lived in seclusion in Litang Village, Changxing County, Zhejiang Province, and a family lived on the Phoenix Pier. The water conservancy conditions there are crisscross, wide and deep. The present conditions are many times better than those in ancient times. Now the pier is only less than two meters above the water. It is conceivable that Fan Li's water conservancy situation was different when he lived at the dock.
Fan Li dug a Litang River in Litang Village for drainage and irrigation. Build pond culture and raise turtles. It is located in the low-lying area beside Litang River. The water in Xitiaoxi comes from Tianmu Mountain, and Litang River is a tributary of Xitiaoxi. It is speculated that when the great flood broke out, the flood flooded the Phoenix Wharf and Litang became Wang Yang.
Fan Li's family suffered a flood in Fenghuangdun. In order to survive, they had to find another place to live. Learn from a painful experience, this migration is different from the last one, and Fan Li received experience and lessons at Phoenix Wharf. Because the Phoenix Wharf is low-lying, he wants to find a higher-lying place to settle down. Fan Li wants to find a better place to raise fish than Litang, and a place with good feng shui, such as Phoenix Mountain.
If you choose places frequented by pedestrians, it is easy to make money and get rich, but difficult to live and work in peace and contentment. According to past experience and lessons, we should find a remote place, and remoteness means peace. Because the low-lying downstream is not suitable for fish farming, Fan Li had to look for lakes near the upper reaches of Xitiao River. Therefore, from Xiaoxikou area to the upper reaches of Xitiaoxi to Anji and Xiaofeng, the ideal place has not yet been found.
On this expedition, Fan Li speculated that he had discovered many places. He may first look at the northern foot of Tianmu Mountain, then look at the southern foot of Tianmu Mountain, and then continue to look at East Tianmu Mountain and West Tianmu Mountain, but he still can't get what he wants. Fan Li then took a boat along the Tianmu River to explore the former town downstream. After dividing the water, he turned to the upstream banks of Qianxi (now White Jiangxi). Finally, he found a place to deal with his thoughts on Shili Road west of Fenshui, which is close to the lake recorded in Fenshui County Records.
Why did Fan Li find a secluded place here? One of the most important reasons is that it is far away from Shaoxing, the capital of Vietnam. Because he has lived in Yue for 30 years, the people of Yue are known to all ages, and many people know him. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I choose to stay in a remote and semi-mountainous area where the news is blocked.
In ancient China, dragons and phoenixes were regarded as auspicious things in civilization. After discovering the dragon horse, Teddy Fu created the gossip prophecy of the Book of Changes. Later generations compared the emperor to the incarnation of the dragon, and regarded the queen's concubines as the incarnation of the phoenix bird. Fan Li also regarded the stone as a phoenix bird: for the first time, Fan Li placed the stone in a secluded lake (now Puyuan Town, Tongxiang), where the plane trees often lived and had the reputation of "phoenix building"; For the second time, Fan Li lived in seclusion on the Phoenix Mountain near Deqing County. The third time, he moved the capital to Qi State and placed his division in Qiyou Village at the foot of the mountain. In Taoshan Fu, the text says, "Yesterday I loved Taiwan Province, and the wind was flying"; For the fourth time, Fan Li moved to Tao Qiu (Dingtao County) in the Song Dynasty and settled at the foot of Fenghuang Mountain. For the fifth time, he lived in seclusion at Fenghuang Wharf (now Litang Village, Changxing) with a stone; The sixth time, I took my teacher to the vicinity of Fenghuang Mountain (now Ruqiao Village, Fenshui). It's no coincidence that Fan Li wants to find the place Phoenix again and again. Finding a secluded place is one of his dreams. Secondly, he wants to have a lake to raise fish. With these two prerequisites, Fan Li will live and work in peace and contentment.
Fan Li knows astronomy above and geography below. The so-called geography refers to Feng Shui. He investigated the topography and mountains in the northwest of Shifeng Village, and found that there was a mountain with a shape similar to a phoenix, but the mountain lacked geomantic omen and two long phoenix tails. To this end, he tried to make up for it. Besides, it was killing two birds with one stone for Fan Li. In this way, Fan Li built a reclamation dam about one kilometer long and another dam about one kilometer long. After completion, it can not only ensure that the farmland will not be flooded, but also ensure that the fish in the lake will not be washed away by the flood. These two long dikes were used to continue Phoenix's tail, but the Xiao Yuan River blocked the connection of Phoenix's tail. Therefore, the small wooden bridge on the Xiao Yuan River was transformed into a stone arch bridge and named as "Xiaofeng Bridge". Therefore, the geomantic omen here is very good, and people can walk conveniently. Fan Li built a house and lived between two phoenix tails, namely, the lake embankment and the embankment. The reclaimed land was named "Fanban" and the surrounding lake was named "Lihu". Later, his descendants continued to multiply and built houses by the lake. This village was named Lihu Village.
According to the local people, Fan Li is parked in the east of Shifeng Village, and there is a Phoenix Mountain in the northwest of the village. He also said that in ancient times, in the east field of Shifeng Village, villagers saw a little phoenix learning to fly and stopped to rest here. Later, the villagers built a juvenile phoenix pavilion where Phoenix stopped and a temple called Qifeng Temple where Phoenix took off. The name of the village comes from this, and it is called Shifeng Village. So Fan Li decided to choose the village in the lower reaches of Shi Feng as his residence. When Fan Li first came here, I imagined the scene at that time and happily wrote a poem "Sleeping at Night in Phoenix":
The young source water reflects the blue sky, and the old trees are covered with smoke.
The snail's voice announced the arrival of the guests, and Fan Li first arrived in Zengbo.
Around 44 1 year BC, Fan Li arrived at the bank of Baijiang River to the west of Fenshui and chose a secluded place. At that time, it was deserted. Although it is a mid-level area, there is a small plain. It is ten miles from Fenshui in the east and one mile from Shifeng Village (now Ruqiao Village) in the west. The former Fenshui is a big village, and the latter Shifeng Village is a small village with only a dozen families. To the south of Lihu Village are Anding Mountain, Liyu Mountain and Guiwenshan, and the continuous mountain in the north is called Hushan. Sima Qian recorded in Historical Records that "Fan Li's three moves became famous in the world", but I said that Fan Shaobo's seven moves made contributions to the world. "Three Movements" means that from Chu to Yue, in his words, the more you don't go to Song. Today, in addition to three relocations, there are four relocations. I moved to Gangxia Town, Wuxi for the first time, Taishan Village, Dingshu, Yixing for the second time, Phoenix Wharf, Litang, Changxing for the third time, and finally moved to Fenshuilihu Village, Tonglu County for the fourth time. After leading his wife Huang Xiufeng, concubine Shi, youngest son and daughter-in-law Shen Shi to live and work in Lihu Village, he made a career. The development of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery is intended to lay a foundation for Sanzi, so that his descendants can work hard for generations and never go into politics again, and always remember the experience and lessons that they can only share weal and woe and cannot be happy.
At that time, no one burned bricks here, and Fan Li only lived in a thatched house. Although the conditions are very simple, in Fan Li's view, as long as the world of mortals does not reach me, this place is different from the world. Thus, living and working in peace and contentment became the permanent settlement of Heshi.
At this time, he is over 80 years old, and Shi is also a flower girl, so that they can formally find a place to support the elderly here. It is speculated that in 44 1 year, as recorded in the county annals, "Heshi was hidden here." He lives here and has only one surname. Later, his descendants continued to multiply, and the village formed here was called Lihu Village.
