Long, long ago, the ancient willow trees in yanggu county were still in a fertile field. People here farm and weave girls and live a quiet life. In the middle of this fertile field, there is a big tree, which is thousands of feet high. The shade covered the sky and the top of the tree could not be seen. It provides a place for tired people to rest and chat.
One noon, an old man was resting under a tree. Suddenly, a young man in official clothes came from the north, bowed and asked, "Old man, where is the way to heaven?" The old man was stunned. After living for such a long time, he didn't know where there was a way to heaven. Is this young man crazy? In this case, why not make a mistake and point to the big willow tree next to you and say, "Here, you can go to heaven along this tree." Hearing this, the young man gave the old man a deep gift and said, "Thank you!" " Then I climbed the tree, higher and higher, and suddenly I couldn't see anyone. The old man looked at it and felt a little strange. He thought, "You have to come down anyway. I am waiting for you here. " But after waiting for two hours, no one came down, and the old man became more and more strange. So he climbed up in the footsteps of the young man and went to the beach to have a look. Where is the big willow tree? It was a golden avenue, with flowers blooming, birds singing and the old man letting go. Unconsciously, he came to heaven. He lifted up his eyes and saw a building in the distance and an altar nearby. The first young man who came up is concentrating. The old man felt a little tired all the way, smoked a pack of cigarettes and recovered a little. It suddenly occurred to him that his hoe was still lying in the field! He hurried back the same way, where there was no hoe, and there was no one he knew or anyone who knew him in the surrounding village. Speaking of the old man climbing trees, people told him that it has been several generations since he climbed trees. In order to commemorate the old man and this sacred tree, people will come here to sacrifice on holidays. I don't know how many years and generations have passed, and an ancient willow tree has been standing here. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the village was named Xilu, and a temple was built next to the willow tree. During the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty (1862— 1874), the Nian Army cooperated with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom army to fight against the Qing Dynasty and Manchuria in Cao Zhou. The Qing government sent Prince Sengqin to lead cavalry to suppress it. When the soldiers crossed the village, they saw the ancient willow towering into the sky, covering the sky and the sun, so the soldiers could not do it. They were suspected to be sacred trees, so they dressed up to pay tribute to the soldiers. Local residents think that the ancient willow tree is auspicious, so it is named after the "ancient Liu Shen tree", hereinafter referred to as the ancient willow tree. This ancient Liu Cun, which belongs to Acheng Town, yanggu county, is 7.5 kilometers away from Huanggu Tomb in Shiliyuan Town, Longshan Cultural City Site in Jingyanggang Town of Zhangqiu Town and Longshan Cultural City Site in Wangzhuang Town of Acheng Town.
Lion Building Tourist Area, located in the center of Yanggu County, is the place where Song Wu, a hero of the Water Margin, killed Ximen Qing. Lion Building tourist area includes Lion Building and Lion Building tourist city.
Lion Building, located in Central Cross Street, yanggu county, Shandong Province, was founded in the third year of the Northern Song Dynasty, namely 1036, with a history of more than 900 years. 1983, yanggu county government rebuilt Lion Building again according to the architectural style of the Northern Song Dynasty. It was designed and directed by Mr. Chen Congzhou, a professor of architecture department of Tongji University and a famous expert in ancient architecture research. The reconstructed Lion Building is a two-story building with five bays and three depths, with a building area of 45 1 m2 and a height of15.8m. Lion Building is a gable roof with double eaves, huge arches, far-reaching supports, towering kisses and pillars of Noga Station. The whole building faces east, with blue bricks and gray tiles, cornices and arches, carved beams and painted buildings. This is a standard Song Dynasty building. Lion Building can be said to be a typical representative of architectural style in Song Dynasty.
Painted inside and outside the lion building, carved beams and painted buildings, Song-style doors and windows, simple and elegant. Its top wall depicts auspicious patterns of pine cranes, which means good luck. Lion Building is unique in its architectural structure. The building structure of the Lion Mansion is all-wood structure, that is to say, the whole building is completely built by the firm cooperation of mortise and tenon, and no iron castings are used. This fully embodies the wisdom and superb skills of our working people. The layout of the second floor of Lion Building is based on the situation of restaurants in ancient times, especially in the Song Dynasty. In an ancient and simple jar, Chen Fang serves Jingyanggang wine. Its predecessor was the "Noble Wine" sent by relatives of Song Shenzong Imperial Pen, and the hero Song Wu drank 18 bowls of mellow wine in the "Three Bowls without Hill" hotel. The 33 wooden screens placed against the wall describe in detail the legendary life of the tiger hero Song Wu. There is also clay sculpture, which is the work of Zhang, the fourth generation artist in Tianjin, depicting the main story of the Water Margin by Yanggu.
Located in the center of yanggu county, Lion Building Tourism City was officially opened to tourists on 10/2003.

Lion Building Tourism City, as the cultural intersection of Water Margin and Jin Ping Mei, takes Lion Building as the main scene. According to the development of the story and the requirements of tourism, it plans the relevant scenes of Water Margin and Jin Ping Mei in Yanggu, creating a characteristic cultural tourism project integrating literature, folk culture, architecture, garden culture and food culture.
Lion Building Tourism City takes the conflict between the Wu family and the Ximen family in Water Margin as the breakthrough point, and shows the process of contradiction development with real scenes. Its scenic spots are: Wu Dalang's home (sesame cake shop), Wang's home (teahouse), silversmith's shop, paper horse shop, cold pub, yanggu county Ya and Zishi Street.

In Ximen Qing Qijin Courtyard, Ximen Qing's wives and concubines' living habits, contradictions and conflicts, personal psychological activities and performances are all embodied in kind.

In the seventh year of Jin Dading (1 167), Shouzhang County was destroyed by floods and surrounded by Wang Yang, so Shouzhang County was forced to move to Zhukou Town, which is relatively high in the northwest corner of Shouzhang. In the 19th year of Jin Dading (AD 1 179), Zhang Ji, who was in charge of longevity, was recalled. As the old rule of Shouzhang, Zhukou Town only lasted 12 years, which is not a move to build a new city, and it is an intolerable move. The local people in Zhukou are full of sadness about history, but there are also some emotions that ridicule those in power. The most representative are the following legends.
Zhukou, Zhukou, homophonic pig mouth. Legend 1: When Shou Zhang moved to Zhukou, the county magistrate surnamed Cai, and the people called him Master Cai. When Lord Cai arrived at Zhukou, he shouted "It's over, it's over". People were puzzled at that time, and it was not until the death of adult Cai that people realized the coincidence of "Cai went into the pig's mouth". His successor is Lord Kang. Shortly after his arrival, Lord Kang also fell ill and died. The third county magistrate, surnamed Ding, was also compassionate soon after he took office. The locals don't understand. Lord Ding should not die! A wandering fairy told a secret. There is a small village near the famous stove Zhukou Town. How can you get into the furnace?
For Zhukou Town, which has been under the jurisdiction of Shouzhang County for only 12 years, there is also a folk legend: at that time, because of borrowing land to work, prisoners did not ask God for a "prison place" (where prisons were built), and prisoners starved to death regardless of the severity of their crimes. Let's imagine that surrounded by Zeguo, officials and people are extremely short of food, and it is reasonable for criminals to starve to death.
About Zhukou Town, the story of Sanda Zhujiazhuang is also widely circulated among the people, and the content is the same as that of Water Margin. According to historical research, Songjiang Sanda Zhujiazhuang is an artistic fiction. Sanda Zhujiazhuang did have its thing, but it was nearly 800 years late. What's going on here?
186 1 year (the 11th year of Xianfeng in Qing dynasty), a part of peasant rebels led by Guo Xing joined forces with Qiu Shen to build a platform in Zhukou Town to defend against the siege of Qing army. The general of the Qing army, SengGelinqin, stormed three times before capturing the fortifications of the rebel army, and all the rebel troops were killed, which is recorded in the draft of the History of Qing Dynasty, Shandong Tongzhi.
