Chasing Han Xin by Xiao He under the Moon is the most classic play in China traditional Peking Opera.
Han Xin, one of the famous military strategists in the history of China, was born in Huai 'an. If you go to Huai 'an, you will certainly hear many stories about Han Xin.
At the beginning, Han Xin assisted Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang to defeat Xiang Yu's army with weak forces, especially the battle of Wujiang River, which put Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, in an embattled position, and finally forced him to kiss Wujiang River and staged the most sensational and tragic scene of "Farewell My Concubine" in China history.
Han Xin has made immortal contributions to the establishment of the 300-year-old Han Dynasty, so there are many legends about Han Xin in history. There are many historical sites in Huaixin, such as Diaoyutai, Han Xin Temple, Youmu Temple, Hip Bridge in Han Xin, and "Monument to the Hometown of Han Xin, the hometown of Han Huaiyin", and there are two places in the hometown of Han Hou, one in Chuzhou District and the other in Wharf Town.
Han Xin lost his parents when he was very young. Han Xin, an orphan, made a living by fishing for gold, but he was repeatedly discriminated against and neglected by people around him.
Once a butcher humiliated and bullied Han Xin in public, and made Han Xin roll to his crotch. In order not to suffer immediate losses, Han Xin had to get under the butcher's legs in full view. This is the famous story of "crossing the bridge" recorded in history books. Now there are still "Bridge Crossing" and "Bridge Crossing Street" in Chuzhou District of Huai 'an to commemorate this general who suffered great humiliation when he was young.
(2) Wu Cheng'en
Wu Cheng'en was good at painting and calligraphy since childhood, and he was versatile all his life.
However, the imperial examination was extremely unfavorable. He began to be a tribute student in middle age and became Changxing County Cheng at the age of 60.
His experience is quite similar to that of Pu Songling, the author of Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio in Qing Dynasty. He is a cynical generation of great literati.
When Wu Cheng'en was a child, he liked to listen to the stories of the Huai River water god and the Sangha saints in his hometown. After middle age, he began to write stories about Tang Priest's pilgrimage to the West day and night in his study, combining legends of the Tang Dynasty, Buddhist classics, folk stories, Huai 'an local stories and so on. , and finally created hundreds of novels The Journey to the West.
As soon as this book came out, it was hailed as one of the "four wonderful books", became a treasure of the world literary world, and left an extremely precious cultural heritage for people all over the world.
Wu Cheng'en's study is quaint and quiet, the wooden doors and windows are quaint and natural, the lamps and candles on the table are still the same, and the inkstones are placed in order. It seems that the master was still writing at his desk just now, but when he was tired of writing, he went for a walk in the back garden.
Looking around, it is in this study that the master wrote the upright and naughty monkey Wukong, the simple and funny pig Bajie, the honest and obedient sand monk, and the kind and kind Tang Priest who was repeatedly deceived by goblins.
Vivid characters come out vividly from the master's works, and Wu Cheng'en should be immortal.
(3) Guan Tianpei
Guan Tianpei 178 1 year 1 year was born in Huai 'an.
Guan Tianpei, a national hero, is Lin Zexu's right-hand man to ban smoking. 184 1 He died in Humen during the Opium War, and was the earliest senior general in China who died heroically in the fight against imperialist aggression.

(4) Zhou Enlai
No.7 Fuma Lane, Chuzhou District, Huai 'an City, is a long and narrow courtyard hidden in the depths of the alley, where the Prime Minister was born.
He lived here for 12 years and spent his childhood and adolescence in Huai 'an, a small town full of worries about his home and country at that time.
There are 32 houses in Zhou Enlai's former residence, all of which are small. They were typical blue brick and small tile bungalows in northern Jiangsu at that time, which looked very simple and natural.
The yard is not too big, there are few flowers and trees dotted in it, and it looks elegant and fresh. You can imagine how Zhou Enlai walked in and out of these houses as a child, and how he walked among flowers and trees. Seeing these simple scenery in his former residence, people will inevitably think of the kind smile of the Prime Minister.
The prime minister is a generation of Confucian generals, which has something to do with his stepmother Chen's early enlightenment education.
She was brought up by her stepmother Chen.
Chen is good at poetry and calligraphy, and he is simple and honest. Under her careful care, the prime minister first understood the truth of being a man. Such a sensible mother played a very important role in the growth of the Prime Minister. Although she didn't tattoo the words loyal to the country on Yue Fei like her mother-in-law, her inculcation left young Zhou Enlai with loyalty and patriotism and dedicated herself to the interests of the people.
In addition, there are Mei Cheng, a great master of Han Fu, Liang Hongyu, the heroine, and Liu E, the author of Lao Can's travels, and so on.
