It is said that a long time ago, Cangzhou was a land of plenty, with beautiful scenery and fertile land. Here, the sea is blue, the climate is mild, the people are hardworking and kind, and life is very beautiful. Even birds and animals are willing to settle here.
One autumn, a black wind suddenly blew on the water, rolling up water waves and roaring like tigers, and rushed to Cangzhou City. The house collapsed and the good crops covered with depressions were swallowed up by the flood. The people fled in panic, and those who had no time to escape were swept away by the flood. People cried and shouted. It turned out that it was a dragon at work. It thinks Cangzhou is a good place, and it wants to take this place for itself as its Dragon Palace. Just as the dragon stirred up the ghost to destroy the Lebanese people, people suddenly heard the roar like a landslide. I saw a red and yellow lion jump down from the seaside. Just like an eagle catching a rabbit, it fell into the sea with a swish and caught the dragon straight. On the sea, the water column soared into the sky, the wind was blowing, and the dragon and lion jumped. The lion and the dragon fought from dark until dawn. The dragon couldn't stand it, so he turned around and ran. It ran and thought:? I can't occupy this place, nor can I call it a good place. ? So, as he ran, he spit out bitter and salty foam. The lion chased him to the depths of the East China Sea, forcing the dragon to take back the submerged seawater in Cangzhou, and he stopped.
The dragon has escaped, and the sea has retreated. The people in Cangzhou have avoided a greater disaster and can live and work in peace and contentment again. In order to thank the lion for killing people, a famous blacksmith named Liu Yun was invited to lead 998 1 skilled apprentice, and 998 1 ton steel was used to cast 998 1 day. Finally, this lifelike and magnificent iron lion was cast where the lion jumped. Although the dragon didn't die, when he heard the roar of the iron lion, his whole body was weak and his claws were numb. People regard the lion as a sharp beast and call it an iron lion? Zhenhai? .
Cangzhou Historical and Cultural Story Part II Zhenhai in Cangzhou History? I yelled. Liu Shuxin, a native of Cangzhou, visited the Old State Iron Lion. When winter is cold, white grass rustles all over the ground, the sun sets, and the north wind blows into the lion's stomach and growls. ? This should be caused by the lion's broken belly. "Wanli Ye Bian" recorded the legend at that time:? A thief rebelled, but the search was unsuccessful. Later, he knew the reason and shoveled his stomach. ? Tsunami tides are often accompanied by strong winds, and the broken lion's belly is just a natural sounder.
The ancients thought? The beast is the image of Kun, and Kun is the soil, and the soil produces water. ? It has become a custom that iron beasts can town floods. In the Northern Zhou Dynasty, in 953 AD, Cangzhou people cast iron lions. At that time, Liu Yun, a prisoner, wrote to Zhou Shizong requesting that an iron lion be cast to save the flooded town. Zhou Shizong agreed and took the lead in donating money. Liu Yun summoned hundreds of local cast iron craftsmen to start work in front of Kaiyuan Temple. There are records in Cangzhou County Records. The iron lion in front of Kaiyuan Temple in the old city is 10 feet high and 10 feet long. There is a huge basin under the head and neck. The lion king? Words. Do you have the right nape of the neck and the edge of the teeth? Da Zhou voted for three years? Seven words. Is there a left rib? Shandong Li Yunzao? Five characters, there are many handwriting on the abdomen and teeth, but they are incomplete. Later, people of insight called it the Diamond Sutra. It is said that Zhou Shizong wants to levy the northern Khitan, and the sinner will punish it to make the town a city. ? Cangzhou people pinned their hopes on the iron lion and endowed it with indomitable spirit. Li Zhi, a Qing Dynasty man, is saying in The Iron Lion Fu:? The lion flies high, the stars are hanging, its claws are sawed, and its teeth are as sharp as hooks. That is, ferocious and lingering, at first glance, it is prominent, and if you stay for a long time, you will hold your head high and lean west, absorbing waves in Guangdian; Sweeping from the tail to the east, a mirage resists the tide. ?
Cangzhou historical and cultural story Sanwuwan (also known as the Fifth Ring Road) is a nomadic people living in the north. According to the quotation in Pei of the Three Kingdoms, Wuwan is a descendant of Donghu people and was destroyed by Xiongnu Khan in the early Han Dynasty. The rest fled to Xianbei Mountain, named after the mountain, and the other fled to Wu Wanshan, also named after the mountain. Wuwan tribe mainly lives in Youzhou and Binhe, and is widely distributed in the north, including Liaodong, Liaoxi, Youbeiping, Yuyang, Yangguang, Shanggu, Dai Jun, Yanmen, Taiyuan and Shuofang counties. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the leaders of the Wuwan departments in each county claimed the title of king, and the Wuwan departments in the counties of western Liaoning, eastern Liaoning and northeastern Beiping formed an alliance, so it was called Sanjun Wuwan. After the death of Qiu, the 50,000 king of western Liaoning, the three counties were 50,000 long. Because his son's class was still small, his nephew Ta Dun, who had considerable military talent, was put in charge of the Three Kings Department. When Yuan Shao was at war with Gongsun Zan, Ta Dun took the initiative to send a special envoy to personally levy Yuan Shao to help him fight against Gongsun Zan. In return, Yuan Shao not only personally sealed 50,000 kings, but also sent envoys to worship 53,000 kings as Khan. According to historical records, 50,000 of the three counties are in chaos, destroying Youzhou, with a slightly Han population of more than 100,000 households. Yuan Shaoli, the toast Khan, treats his family and children as his daughter and wife. Therefore, Yuan Shang and Yuan defected to the enemy at the end of the road, hoping to kill Jizhou with the help of foreign enemies. After they fled to Wuwan, Wuwan cavalry repeatedly entered the hinterland of Youzhou, looting and harassing Cao Cao's northern border.
In order to completely solve the problem of black pill in three counties, remove the remnants of Yuan and calm the situation in the north, Cao Cao decided to levy the black pill department in three counties in the north. ? The soldiers and horses have not moved, and the food and grass go first? This is an important strategy to win the ancient war. In the battle of Guandu, Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao, and the most important thing was to sneak attack on Yuan Shao's food and grass. Providing enough food and grass for soldiers and horses is the most important thing for Cao Cao. So, before the Wuwan War in Three Counties, Cao Cao accepted Dong Zhao's suggestion, requisitioned more than one million people from Hebei, and dug two passages, Pinglu and Quanzhou, to facilitate transportation. Historical records:? The public will levy it, dig a canal, and call it into the water, named Pinglu Canal; Cut into the Luhe River from the estuary, named Quanzhou Canal, connected with the sea. ? Pinglu Canal is the embryonic form of Cangzhou section of Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which was completely excavated under the background of war.
Cangzhou Historical and Cultural Story Before the Fourth Western Han Dynasty, the main rivers in Hebei Plain today, such as the Yellow River, Hutuo River, Weihe River and Water Control, all flowed into the sea alone, and the waters gradually merged. In the 11th year of Jian 'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty (2006), Cao Cao dug a Pinglu Canal from Hutuo River to an arc-shaped river (that is, the section of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal from Qingxian North to Jinghai Liu Du Town), and all the main rivers on the Hebei Plain flowed into Tianjin, and the Haihe River system was formed (Tan Qixiang: The Formation and Development of Haihe River System: The Continuation of Long Waters, People's Publishing House 1994). In the fourth year of the Great Cause of Sui Dynasty (608), Yang Di recruited more than one million men and women from Hebei counties. On the basis of Cao Cao's old canal, he excavated Yongji Canal, making Qinshui reach the Yellow River in the south and Zhuo Jun in the north, forming a grand canal running through the north and south for more than 2,500 kilometers. The Cangzhou section of the Canal was then called Yu He River or Weihe River, and became a part of Haihe River system. The artificially dug canal has led to the confluence of many rivers in Tianjin, and it has also caused serious consequences to the drainage problem in Haihe River Basin. When it is rainy in summer and autumn from June to September, every time the Zhanghe River, Hutuo River and Weihe River rise at the same time, almost the whole Hebei Plain will suffer from floods.
The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal runs through Cangzhou for 220 kilometers. Cangzhou has become the longest city that the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal flows through, and it is also the most harmful city to the canal. Every time the water rises, the canal becomes an important channel for the river to vent its tyranny. Because of the canal? The water is big and the canal is narrow, but it doesn't open or drain, and there are many people. (Beiqi R26 Wei Shou wrote Shu Wei (Biography of Cui Jie, Volume 56), rivers often burst their banks. In the Song Dynasty, the Yuhe River in Hebei Province was attacked by the northward flow of the Yellow River, which lasted for 50 or 60 years, resulting in repeated dredging of the Yuhe River. The Yuhe River in Yuan Dynasty was in Cangzhou area. The water is higher than the ground? That? How many tens of thousands of hectares of land are soaked in people's homes and cooked fields? (Ming R26 Song Lian's History of the Yuan Dynasty, Volume 64, Canal: R26 Yu He). During the Jiajing period, the river was silted up, and the water in the north and south flowed thousands of miles before reaching Zhigu. Whenever it rains, hundreds of rivers fill the river, and the situation is sloppy, swaying and analyzing the fields, wandering without food? (Qing R26 Fu Zehong wrote The Golden Mirror of Running Water (volume 1 14), quoting A Record of Ming Shizong. The flood all over the sky rushed to Cangzhou like a crazy beast. All the trees, all the dealers and all the houses were soaked in the sea, and Cangzhou suddenly became desolate. When I passed Cangzhou in the rain, he wrote,? Guang Chuan leans against the boat in the north of the city, and the cool color rustles in the post building. After the rain, the deer woke up in the afternoon dream, and the heron excited the middle stream. In the long sky, there is water in Qian Fan at dusk, and in the sunny forest, there is water in May and autumn. Pointing to the Jinting asking for directions, the residents said Gu Yingzhou. ?
