Song of the plug

On Lu (Tang)

In the dark forest, the grass was suddenly blown by the wind, and the wind was rustling. The general thought that the beast was coming and immediately pulled out the arrow.

Dawn went to look for the arrow, which had gone deep into the edge of the stone.

character introduction

Li Guang, a native of Longxi (now Gansu), was a general of the Han Dynasty. He is good at riding and shooting, and his ancestors are good at archery. So he has developed superb archery skills since he was a child. In all previous battles, he bravely killed the enemy and made great achievements.

During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Li Guang was the magistrate of Youbeiping County. Tigers often appeared in this area at that time, endangering people. Li Guang often goes hunting with his troops to stay away from harm to the people.

One day, Li Guang came back from hunting and passed by Tiger Head Shi Cun. As night falls, the moonlight is dim. There are many strange rocks and thorns here, and wormwood is swaying in the wind and brushing. Walking, I suddenly found a shadow in the grass, like a tiger, seemingly motionless. At this time, Li Guang let the soldiers pass by, pulled out his bow and arrow, only heard a "sou" and hit the prey, so he rode forward to check. He was surprised when he was ready to search for prey. It turned out not to be a tiger, but a tiger-shaped boulder. When I look closely, I can see that the arrow has sunk into the stone. At this time, the entourage also gathered around to watch, all amazed. At that time, Li Guang was not confident, so he went back to his original position and put on a heavy arrow, harder than before, but even shot a few arrows, but he got stuck in the stone.

Later, the local people heard about it and admired it even more. The Huns were too frightened to invade for many years.

When Li was a satrap, he cared about the soldiers and the people wholeheartedly, and was deeply loved by the military and civilians.

Wang Changling, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, also mentioned him in his poem "Out of the Great Wall": "Only make Longcheng fly, don't teach Huma to cross the Yinshan Mountain."

Note: Longcheng refers to lulong county, Hebei Province, which is located six miles south of Lulong City. It is said that the ancient ferry called "Tiger Head Begging for Crossing" is where it shoots tigers.

Because of his bravery, General Li Guang was loved by the people.

Li Guang (? -Former 1 19), Han nationality, was born in Ji Cheng, Longxi (now Qin 'an, Tianshui, Gansu), a famous military strategist in China in the Western Han Dynasty. In the 14th year of Emperor Wendi (BC 166), he joined the army to attack the Huns because of his meritorious service. Jingdi was appointed as the magistrate of seven counties in the northern border region. Emperor Wu ascended the throne and was called the palace guard. In the sixth year of Yuanguang (former 129), he served as a general and led more than 10,000 people to ride out of Yanmen (now Youyunan, Shanxi) to attack the Xiongnu. Due to the disparity in numbers, he was injured and captured. Xiongnu soldiers put them between two horses, and Li Guang played dead. On the way, he jumped and galloped home. Later, he served as the magistrate of Youbeiping County (Zhipinggang County, now southwest of Ningcheng, Inner Mongolia). Huns are afraid of clothes and call them flying generals. They dared not attack for years. In the fourth year of Yuanshou, Li Guang was the former general in the Battle of Mobei. Because he lost his way, he failed to take part in the war and committed suicide.

Textual research on the location of shooting tigers in Li Guang;

"The woods are dark, nothing happens, but the general shoots arrows at night. The next morning, he found his white arrow deeply stuck in the hard rock. "

This is the song of "He Zhang Fu She" by the Tang Dynasty poet Lu Lun. It's a famous poem handed down from generation to generation, telling a story of Li Guang, a famous soldier in the Han Dynasty. The story comes from Sima Qian's Historical Records.

I. Records of "Li Guang Beating Tigers" in Historical Records

Sima Qian (about 145~ 90 years ago), the author of Historical Records, was a contemporary of Li Guang, a famous scholar in Han Dynasty. His account of Li Guang's deeds should be more credible than that recorded in later historical books or fabricated by scholars.

"Historical Records: Biography of General Li" records: "Living in right Beiping, the Huns heard that posthumous title' General Han Fei' avoided it for several years and dared not enter right Beiping. When you hunt extensively, you see a stone in the grass and shoot it as a tiger. The stone in the grass was not smashed, but it was also a stone. Because I shot too much, I couldn't get back into the stone. Living in a county alone, I heard that there was a tiger, so I tasted it and killed it myself. " When he lived in Beiping, he killed a tiger, causing extensive injuries, but Hiro even killed it. "

Although there is no clear record in the history books that shooting tigers in Youbeiping County, according to Sima Qian's words, it is very likely that Li Guang did it when he was stationed in Youbeiping County. The places where Li Guang was stationed and fought can be said to be all over the northern Han Dynasty and Xiongnu territory. However, in the article "Li Guang Beats Tigers", there is no mention of other places, only the right Beiping County is mentioned. In historical records, the place where Li Guang was stationed for the most wars was Youbeiping County.

Second, the historical evolution of Youbeiping County

Youbeiping County was the seat of Yan State during the Warring States Period. Right Beiping County governs Pinggang City, which is under the jurisdiction of Yan State. Governance is located in Pinggang, which is now the ancient city of Heicheng in Ningcheng County, Inner Mongolia. After the establishment of the Qin Dynasty, following the counties in the Warring States period, a tour of Beiping County was set up here. There is no county name in the historical records. Han inherited the Qin system and continued to set up Right Beiping County here. Pinggang City was founded in the Warring States Period; Following the Qin and Han Dynasties, it was abandoned at the end of the Western Han Dynasty and continued to be used for about 400 years. Li Guang, a famous soldier in the Han Dynasty, was good at riding and shooting, with extraordinary brawn and skillful archery. He used to be a county magistrate who traveled to Beiping.

Pinggang City is located in the ancient city of Heicheng, Dianzi Town, Ningcheng County, Inner Mongolia. Archaeologists conducted an investigation in the ancient city of Heicheng, and confirmed that there are rich upper-level cultural remains of Xiajiadian buried underground in the "Flower City" part of this ancient city. Explain that as early as the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Spring and Autumn Period; The northern nationalities once settled here and were the first residents to develop this land.

During the Warring States Period, the forces of Yan extended northward, and the Great Wall of Yanbei was built, starting from Yang Yang in the west and reaching Xiangping in the east. To the south of the Great Wall, there are Shanggu, Yuyang, Youbeiping, Liaoxi and Liaodong counties. At present, the East-West Warring States Great Wall in the north of Chifeng City is a section of Yanbei Great Wall. Today, the vicinity of Chifeng City and its southern area are under the jurisdiction of Yan State. At present, there are many relics of the Warring States period in the "Flower City" part of the Black City, which is inferred to be related to the right Beiping County of Yan State.

After the establishment of the Qin Dynasty, following the counties in the Warring States period, a tour of Beiping County was set up here. There is no county name in the historical records. Han inherited the Qin system and continued to set up Right Beiping County here. 16 county, the name of Qin dynasty should be used. The names of these counties are: Pinggang, Wuji, Shicheng, Tingling, Junmi, Xu Wu, Tuyin, White Wolf, Sunset, Great Wall, Licheng, Guangcheng, Ju Yang and Heping. The jurisdiction of Youbeiping County is about Chaoyang District in Liaoning, Chengde District in Hebei and the vast area south of Chifeng City.

Pinggang City was founded in the Warring States Period; Following the Qin and Han Dynasties, it was abandoned at the end of the Western Han Dynasty and continued to be used for about 400 years.

Liao dynasty About a thousand years after Pinggang City was abandoned, the Liao Dynasty built a city here in10/3 (the second year of Liao Kaitai) and became a rich county directly under the jurisdiction of Beijing, Liaoning Province (some people verified it as a county town to encourage agriculture). After the alliance between Song and Liao, it was recorded in Song's trip to Liao that Fuyu Pavilion, a day's journey from Beijing, was located 90 miles west of Beijing. Later, due to the frequent contacts between the envoys of the two countries and the needs of economic development, a rich county town was built here, so the scale of this county town was planned according to the construction system of the first-class county town. This county was used in the Jin and Yuan Dynasties. Jin Dynasty was a rich county belonging to Beijing Road Dading House, and Yuan Dynasty was a rich county belonging to Daning Road. In the Yuan Dynasty, there was also a post station called Fu Post Station. Fuyuwei was also established here in the Ming Dynasty. 1387 (twenty years of Hongwu), a thousand households of Fuyu Guards set up and built here for the first time. 139 1 year (twenty-four years of Hongwu) changed Wei to Beiping viceroy (located in the ruins of the capital city in central Liaoning), 1404 (two years of Yongle) was the northern parallel viceroy.

During the Sui Dynasty, the right Beiping County was ruled by the present Lulong.

Thirdly, the story of "Li Guang Beating Tiger" probably happened near Heicheng Village, Dianzi Town, Ningcheng County, Inner Mongolia.

The narrative sequence of Historical Records shows that the story of "Li Guang hits the tiger" probably happened when he was the county magistrate of Youbeiping. Youbeiping County is located in Pinggang, which is now Heicheng Village, Dianzi Town, Ningcheng County, Inner Mongolia. Li Guang's killing tigers should also be near Heicheng Village in Ningcheng County today.

Tiger Stone in Ningcheng County is located in the middle and lower reaches of Heili River (the source of West Liaohe River), less than 20 miles away from Heicheng. Named after the legend of shooting stones in Li Guang, there is Tiger Stone Reservoir nearby. Less than ten kilometers away from Heicheng Village, it is also in line with the distance. Therefore, the story of Li Guang shooting stones should take place around Heicheng Village in Ningcheng County, probably near Dahushi Reservoir.
