From then on, the construction site mobilized nearby sheep to carry bricks, which solved the problem of carrying bricks. There was a craftsman named Yi, whose craft was better than Luban's and he had a high reputation. After accepting this magnificent project, Master Yi joined hands with all the craftsmen Qi Xin. When the design scheme with exquisite layout and solid structure was worked out, the quantity of materials was calculated by actuarial calculation, and the design and material plan were submitted to the foreman in charge of repair, the ruthless official didn't believe it at all and forced Master Yi: Is your calculation accurate? Master Yi smiled and said, Yes, I was punished for being wrong. ?
The official in charge of the renovation project prepared the materials according to Master Yi's calculation, and specially added an extra brick. As a result, when the majestic Guancheng stood tall on the Gobi Desert, there was only one brick left. The craftsmen discussed putting it in its present position. The official in charge of the restoration project wanted to hurt Yi and other craftsmen out of jealousy. He went to the place where the brick was placed and shouted, hey, why do you have an extra brick? Tomorrow at 3 noon, will you die? . As he spoke, he asked someone to take the brick down and throw it away. Master Yi and all the craftsmen shouted in unison. Stop it! That's a city brick. If it is demolished, the whole city will collapse at once? .
Hearing this, the guy dared not pursue it again and left despondently. This brick has always been there, but it is not desirable to show the memory of ancient laborers. This legend attracts people's attention as firmly as a magnet, so the painted buildings and carved beams are more exquisite, and the city walls are strong because of it. How many people stare in front of it, ah! It was the cover of architectural history.
Legend has it that during the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty, two swallows built their nests in the pass. Fly out of the gate for food at dawn every day; At night, they all fly back to Shanhaiguan's nest to rest. Are they sincere? Lover? .
One morning, two swallows flew out of the customs together for food. At sunset, the female swallow is in front and the male swallow is behind, flying into the pass. Unexpectedly, the female Yan just flew into the pass, and suddenly there was a strong wind and fog. It was dark, and Xiong Yan was wrapped in sand, but he got lost. When Xiong Yan finally found Guancheng, the door was closed and no one could pass. Xiong Yan was killed at the foot of the city gate.
The female Yan waited for a long time, but the male Yan didn't come back. She is heartbroken and sends it out from time to time. Jojo？ Voice, calling the male swallow back. Until I die.
Shortly after the death of female Yan, I don't know who accidentally bumped into pebbles and wall bricks in the city and heard a voice like Yan Ming. Jojo？ Sound. As soon as this story spread, someone actually told a story, because the female swallow heard the noise and thought it was the male swallow who came back, so? Jojo？ Answer and welcome. Since then, this story has been well known.
In fact, Shi Yanming was hit because the two walls here are tight and flat, triangular and shaped like horns. So the sound effect is particularly good. The story of Shiyan hitting the wall reminds people of a bleak and miserable scene in front of Jiayuguan in the old society, just as the folk song says: once you get out of Jiayuguan, your tears will not dry up. Looking ahead, Gobi desert; Look back, the gates of hell. Customs clearance is easy, but entry is difficult? .
