1, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Danyang was the territory of the State of Chu. In 222 BC, Qin Shihuang pacified the Jiangnan area of Chu and established Huiji County, which now governs southeastern Jiangsu and eastern Zhejiang. Danyang was also changed to Yunyang County. It is such a small Yunyang county. I don't know how much effort Qin Shihuang spent, and even destroyed the "king" of this place at any cost.
It turns out that Qin Shihuang did this for a reason. At the beginning, he traveled eastward through Danyang realm and followed the historian to predict that Yunyang had a "king". So Qin Shihuang was very afraid that there would be an emperor in Danyang to compete for his country, so he immediately ordered the destruction of Danyang's "Feng Shui". One of the "measures" is to change the name of Yunyang County from "Wang Qi" to "Qua". The second move is to change the section of Huijichi Road passing through Danyang into a bend, that is, to deliberately turn the straight road into a bend, and its purpose is also to break the "king" of Danyang.
The name was changed, and the road was over, but the alchemist's prediction was unfortunately finally fulfilled. 430 years (222 years) after the death of Qin Shihuang, the first emperor Sun Quan was born in Danyang. Sun Quan was originally from Fuyang, Zhejiang, and his ancestors moved to Qu 'a (now Situ Town, Danyang). His grandfather, Zhong Sun, made a living by growing melons in Danyang, and was buried in Baihe Mountain after his death. His father, Sun Jian, was buried in Situ Wuling Port, Danyang, and the tomb was named "Gaoling". In the Southern Dynasties, there were two generations of founding emperors in Danyang. One of them is Xiao Daocheng, whose nickname is Shao Bo. He is Gao Qi, the Emperor of the Southern Dynasties, who was born in Xiaojiaxiang, xian county Town, Danyang at the age of 56. After his death, he was buried in Taihe Mausoleum, Qiaohu Lion Bay, Danyang. The other is Xiao Yan. His name is Shu Da, and he was known as Liang Wudi in history. He is also from Xiaojiaxiang, xian county Town, Danyang. He died in 549 at the age of 85 and was buried in Lingxiu Village Lane, Linjing Village, Danyang.
2. The origin of learning
Confucius took his disciples on an outing. One day, passing by a village, I saw a couplet posted on the door of a family:
Being rich is not rich, but being childless is also a blessing.
After reading it, Confucius thought for a long time and didn't understand what it meant. He turned back and asked, "Disciples, who can figure out what this couplet means?" Some disciples scratched their heads, some bowed their heads and said nothing, and some simply shook their heads to show that they could not answer. There was no way, so Confucius had to consult a layman.
Confucius knocked on the door and went in to explain his purpose to the layman. "The layman replied, Old Master Q laughed. This couplet is about my family. The little old son has ten daughters, one daughter is a daughter, and ten daughters are daughters, so the couplet says' rich or not', and the little old son has no children. As the saying goes, the son-in-law is half a son, and the little old son has ten sons-in-law, all of whom strive to be filial to me. Our old couple are often invited to dinner by their daughters and sons-in-law, which is much more blessed than those who quarrel with their sons and daughters-in-law every day. Therefore, it is a blessing to have no children under your knees. "
Confucius listened to the explanation of the layman and could not help but admire: "Wonderful!" Look at the disciples behind him, all with shame. Confucius said to them, "Learning is learning and asking questions. If you are not ashamed to ask questions, you will learn virtue. Why are you ashamed? " The teacher's words made all the disciples nod. Teachers and students thanked the householder and went on their way.
3. The story of Shuangdun Mountain
According to legend, in ancient times, near the suburb of Qu 'a (Hubei) today, there was a dragon that was not healed and was dying. This matter was known by the Jade Emperor in the sky, but it could not be publicized in a big way to let ordinary people know the location of the dragon. Therefore, they have to send gods from heaven to heal, and take lightning as a signal. When the signal arrives, they will return to the sky, and they can't stay long to avoid ostentation. After accepting the jade emperor's will, the immortal hurried on his way with two loads of medicine. But it was a long way, and although he walked very fast, he finally received a signal to return to heaven immediately on the way. There was nothing the fairy could do, so she had to put down two loads of medicine on her shoulders and return to heaven. Over time, these two loads of medicine gradually formed two mountains, and that pole became a path, hence the name Shuangdun Mountain. The location of the dragon was never known. Later, I heard that during the Great Leap Forward, people dug a hole to cut the mountain for vegetation. When they dug it out, thousands of snakes were intertwined, and one of them was a thick snake head wearing a crown. People panicked and fled, and the snake disappeared the next day, which was intriguing. Therefore, people have reverence for the legends of these two mountains, and have moved their ancestors' graves here to enjoy the bliss on earth.
(Postscript: Due to the development of modernization and the construction of various state-level development zones, Shuangdun Mountain exists in name only. Because a mountain was leveled, everyone moved to their ancestral graves. It is said that firecrackers rang through the sky on the day of moving the grave. )
