Chapter 871 The Origin of the Legend
“This is the only cliff statue of Kublai Khan seen in the country today. The so-called Tartar Granny was actually originally called ‘Tatar’ because after the helmet weathered, the statue became deformed. It resembles the image of an old woman, so it was attached to it and became a mother-in-law. "
"In fact, the statue of Maitreya in Daerwo in Anle Mountain is said to be the one that will give birth to a son if you throw mud at it. According to research, the godfather is also a 'Tatar'. Throwing mud at him was originally a common people's behavior to vent their anger, but later it gradually evolved into a custom and legend of 'beating a son to get a son'."
"Ah. ?" Liang Hong said angrily: "If I hadn't told him earlier, I should have thrown away a few more pieces!"
"They are all cultural relics and should be protected." Zhou Zhi said with a smile: "How can you throw them away?"
"Then what kind of bad guy is he?" Zhang Xinyi discovered that there was a stone carving on a cliff four or five meters away from Liu Zheng's statue of Jiangyuan. It was still very badly weathered and he could only vaguely make out a person who stretched out his arm and pointed at Liu Zheng's statue. image.
“This is called the God of Baozi.” Xiang Yu introduced: “Our local rural women still come to worship. They regard the one on the left as the mother-in-law who beats children, and the one on the right as the God of Baozi, both of which are related to fertility. "
Zhou Zhi couldn't help but laugh: "This man is not a bad guy, nor is he a child-protector, but a great loyal minister and a great martyr. , named Xu Biaosun. "
"This statue is called 'Xu Biaosun Tuogu Baozi'."
"Xu Biaosun is the son of Xu Yi, a scholar of Xianmo Pavilion in the Southern Song Dynasty. In the second year, when Liu Zheng rebelled, Xu Biaosun served as the staff officer of the Sichuan Zhizhi Department. Liu Zheng summoned Xu Biaosun to surrender and offer Tongguan as a tribute. "
"Xu Biaosun said to the envoy: 'This wrist can be broken, but this pen cannot be written.' He closed the door and left his youngest son alone with relatives and friends. The rest, from young to old, all died of medicine."
“This stone statue has its shoulders hanging side by side and its left arm stretched out. . The halberd pointed at Liu Zheng, who looked very angry. There was a "child" on his forearm, which had fallen off. This was the scene where Xu Biaosun reprimanded Liu Zheng for his traitorous surrender. "
"The child later survived. Are you down?" Jiang Shuyi asked in a low voice.
Zhou Zhi sighed: "Actually, the true record in the "History of the Song Dynasty: The Biography of Xu Biaosun" is that Xu Biaosun committed suicide by closing the door. The legend of Tuo Gu Bao Zi was just that the people couldn't bear the death of a loyal minister, so Zhao Biaosun committed suicide. The story of the orphans was just grafted onto him."
Everyone was silent, only Jiang Feng was sobbing beside the cliff stone carvings, seeming to be writing footnotes for the stories told by Zhou Zhi.
"We want to be grateful for the peaceful life today." He Shiqing said softly, looking at the statue that had long been changed beyond recognition.
“Of course.” Zhou Zhi nodded: “We must also thank...those who ensure our peaceful life.”
Back at home in the "city" on Xiangyu Mountain, everyone sat down Chatting on the open dam.
Xiang Yu’s mother has already brought rice milk and is making cold cake.
Two large pots of jelly have been prepared on one side.
Jelly jelly is a very simple summer snack. The method is also very simple. Just mix the starch into a paste and pour it into boiling water to make a thick transparent paste. Put it in a basin and put it in a water tank to cool down, and then put it on the cutting board. Go up, use the special perforated iron sheet to scrape off the vermicelli-like jelly, put it in a bowl, add seasonings, and you're ready to eat.
There are many types of starches that can be used to make jelly. Jiachuan generally likes to use pea flour and mung bean flour.
The seasoning is onion, ginger, garlic, coriander, cucumber, shredded mung bean sprouts, soy sauce, sesame oil, red oil, and sweet and sour sauce.
Have two bowls of this in the summer. It’s spicy, sour and refreshing. It’s as comfortable as you want.
Cold cake is made by mixing rice milk into a paste in a pot, adding lime water and mixing thoroughly, then pouring it into a bowl to solidify, soak it in well water to remove the alkali smell, and then pour in brown sugar juice. Xiang Yu's home still has rammed earth walls, which are warm in winter and cool in summer. Everyone sits in a row and leans against the wall, eating jelly, plums and grapes that have been treated with well water, and they don't feel the heat at all.
Looking at the river flowing at the foot of the mountain, Fang Wenyu said: "The pattern of the Song Dynasty has not been opened up after all. If we compare it with the Great Wall, the city wall starts from the Yangtze River, connects to the city wall here, and then connects to the Tuojiang River from the other side. , you can get a stable big city. "
"Commander, you are very talented in military affairs. What you are talking about has been thought of by the ancients and practiced. "
"Really?" Fang Wenyu was a little proud. Meeting the ancients is always a pleasant thing.
Zhou Zhi held the jelly bowl and squinted down the mountain: "In the tenth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, in order to prevent the attack of the peasant army, another outer layer was built on Longto Mountain in the south of Songcheng - Longto Pass. .”
"Longtouguan is seven miles away from the Songcheng Pool at our feet. The wall starts from the Yangtze River in the south, winds up through the top of Longtou Mountain, and then goes down the mountain to the north until it reaches the Tuojiang River. It is almost in line with the plan you mentioned, Marshal."< br>
"Guanqiang is close to the Yangtze River and Tuojiang River. , there are small gates respectively, and a large gate is set high in the middle, which is today's Longtou Gate."
"The city wall controls the only land passage in the southwest of the peninsula, spanning Longtou Mountain, with a total length of about five kilometers. It’s just a small Great Wall.”
"According to what my godfather found at the foot of the mountain, the "New Shenjiguan Stele" erected in the first month of the eleventh year of Chongzhen states: Longtouguan is the throat of Zhongshan Mountain, and there is no foothold, and only a line can lead to it. The situation is abnormal. Dangerous location, easy to defend but difficult to attack."
"The project is composed of At that time, the official Sichuan Jingcha Division inspected the Nandao Qianshi and participated in the political affairs. Wu Dengqi presided over it. He quoted the records of "Guangyu Ji" and also provided an important information, that is, the plan was at the former site of "Shizhuan Zhuge Wuhou Li". Newly built on ”
“If this legend is true, then the history of Longtouguan can even be pushed back to the Three Kingdoms period.” Presided over the reconstruction, and it remains to this day."
"Since the Ming Dynasty, the dragon in the south of Manzhou City has existed. Touguan, together with Yuchanguan, which is seventy miles north of Manzhou City, has become the key to the ancient Tochanguan Road, a transportation channel between Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou, straddling the north and south of Manzhou respectively, and has an important strategic position. "
"Is the wall still there? How about we go and take a look?" Fang Wenyu was a little moved.
"Seven miles away from here, there is just a collapsed stone wall, not much to see." Dad Xiang brought cold cakes to everyone. When he heard that Fang Wenyu wanted to see the wall, he said, "In the summer, The sun is so bright, so don’t go there.”
"It's an easy road to follow the ridge." Xiang Yu said, "We boys will go there later and find some good food."
Wei Fei waved his hand: "I'm going to go to you guys, I don't have anything to do with Guanqiang. Interested, by the way, since you said it so well here, why did Manzhou City move away in the end? "
" Speaking of this, I have. "That's interesting." Zhou Zhi said: "Manzhou was called Sanlu in ancient times, and the state's governance has always changed in three places." , and also left behind the saying that "Sanlu's name has been falsified through the ages."
"Yang Sheng'an also wrote about our Manzhou?" Zhang Lu was very interested.
"Well, the name of the poem is "Remembering Autumn in Sickness", 'The grass in front of Nanding Tower is green in spring, and there is little dust under the lychee forest. The name of Sanlu has been wronged through the ages, and the two waters and Tuomin meet the two Tianjins. The merchant ships gather in Qingruo Sea. , Red makeup camp prostitute orchestra new. Passionate without regrets. Why not hold a candle to the cold night? '"
"Eh? This seems to be written here."
