The Emperor's Life of a Wretched Man

Under the sunken ship, there is a large shiny iron chain to tie the ship. The iron chain is as thick as a baby's arm.

The sunken ship was filled with gold, silver, treasures and boulders, but a mysterious creature was entrenched on it, and no one dared to say what the god was.

The villagers immediately burned incense, worshiped the river god, and then filled the well, but that night, there was a strong wind and heavy rain, making them a demon all night.

The next morning, the villagers found that the well that had been filled yesterday had turned into a sinkhole. Baidi drowned in the sinkhole...

Later, the villagers entrusted someone to invite a Fengshui master from Anyang, and this old Fengshui master was quite famous in Xiabamen.

But he came to tinker for a day and a night, and finally he told the villagers that this is the eye of the Yellow River. The village's geomantic omen was good, but now the geomantic omen is broken, and a catastrophe has occurred.

In the end, the Feng Shui master left a message telling the villagers to move the village and not live here, and then he jumped directly into the tiankeng and disappeared.

The villagers went down to fight the waterlogging and lost a few lives. The next day, the villagers found that the tiankeng disappeared suddenly, and it was still as flat as before.

The villagers were frightened and went to the Huanghua Temple to worship the river god. The village was disbanded and they all moved.

And the river god in the Huanghua Temple is very effective, but it still sounds chilling. Speaking of Huanghua Temple, we have to start with Sinvtai.

Sinvtai was originally named Tiantai Mountain.

The so-called mountain is actually just a high platform artificially built on the embankment of the Yellow River, and it is a watchtower for watching the river.

Because there is an ancient Huanghua Temple on the high platform, the local people still call Liyangjin the ferry of Huanghua Temple.This Huanghua Temple has a great relationship with Sinvtai.

Huanghua Temple was built in the Han Dynasty to commemorate the four Empresses of the Yellow River who sacrificed their lives to the Yellow River.

The Empress of the Yellow River is actually similar to marrying a daughter-in-law for Hebo, living human sacrifices, choosing beautiful beauties, who can drink ditties, are kind, young, and are virgins.

In the second year of Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, the Yellow River had a major breach, and Junxian and Huaxian counties became a vast ocean. The prefect of Dongjun at that time could not think of any way to deal with the flood.

So he took the people to the Tianshen Temple to pray and make a wish, praying for God to bless the people of Li and the people from suffering from the flood.

At this time, a wizard pointed out that if the river god wants to marry beauties, he only needs to choose four beauties and bury them in Tiantai Mountain, then the breach will be blocked and the flood will recede.

The prefect listened to the wizard's words and ordered the magistrates of Jun and Hua counties to do so.Therefore, four girls selected from Jun County and Hua County were buried alive in the four corners of Tiantai Mountain.

The Yellow River embankment in the Liyangjin area was called Jindi in ancient times, which means firmness.In the history books, this time marrying a wife for the river god is called "filling the embankment with one's body".

According to the legends of Jiaochangying Village, in the process of marrying the God of the River this time, the wizard asked the two counties of Junhua to choose two girls each. Among the girls selected by the two counties, one must be a dragon and a tiger. .

The county magistrates of the two counties sent yamen servants to look for girls who belong to dragon and tiger.However, the villagers knew that the wives married to the God of the River would be buried alive, and no one would say that their daughters belonged to the dragon or the tiger.

A few days passed, and the two counties of Junhua and Hua did not choose a wife for the river god, which made the magistrates of the two counties so worried that they couldn't eat or sleep.

The magistrate of Jun County suddenly realized that his two yellow-flowered daughters happened to be a dragon and the other a tiger, so he had no choice but to sacrifice his two daughters to the God of the River.

However, the county magistrate of Hua County was at a loss because he couldn't find qualified candidates for a while. Later, people couldn't stand the torment of the Yellow River, and a girl who was a dragon and a tiger came forward on her own initiative.

The four Empresses of the Yellow River were found and buried in the four corners of Tiantai Mountain. The wizard changed Tiantai Mountain to Sinvtai, also known as Dragon and Tiger Terrace, and built a temple for Sinvtai, called Huanghua Temple, which shocked the Yellow River. .

In ancient times, there was the method of township in ancient times, and people today have the method of township.

The big river flows from the northwest, passes through the urban area, turns to the southeast, and spreads to the wilderness.Still using the old name, people still call it "Yellow River".

The river has changed several times, and the Yellow River did flow here.Before the Song Dynasty, the two rivers converging in Xuzhou were Bianshui and Surabaya.

From 1194, the fifth year of Shaoxi in the Southern Song Dynasty and the fifth year of Mingchang in the Jin Dynasty, the Yellow River broke through Wuyang and changed its course, invaded Bianduosi and flowed through Xuzhou into the Huaihe River.

In 1855, in the fifth year of Xianfeng in the Qing Dynasty, the Tongwaxiang from Yifeng broke through, diverted again and left Xuzhou, and turned to the northeast to seize the Daqing River.It flows into the Yellow Sea from Binhai County in northern Jiangsu, and then flows into the Bohai Sea from Lijin County in Shandong.

During this period, the water of the Yellow River flowed in Xuzhou for 661 years.Since then, an old course of the Yellow River has been abandoned in the four provinces of Henan, Shandong, Anhui and Jiangsu, which is more than 600 kilometers long.

The big river passing through Xuzhou now is a section of the old course of the Yellow River, and it has been 153 years.Along the scenic belt of the ancient Yellow River, going upstream, the landscape headed by the east bank is the water passing through stone pillars.

Five tall white marble pillars stand facing the water, majestic and majestic, like a preface to the eternal epic of the river.But what people don't know is that these five stone pillars are said to be too big, but they are the only magical weapons that shake the river today.

A marble carving in front of the group of pillars is a monument erected by the city government:

"Xu Fang River is troubled, Huzi in the first Han Dynasty, collapsed Song and Yuan, disasters affected Ming and Qing Dynasties, three cities were overthrown, the people were wandering, abandoned and rebuilt, heroes came out in succession, the dynasty rose to the east, the heart was concerned with the people's livelihood, the Yellow River calmed down, and Shao Yugong, When the river is clear, how lucky is the ancient city to look back on the present and trace the past, and set up pillars for inscriptions."

According to historical records, the Yellow River burst and flooded more than 2000 times in 1500, and diverted 26 times, 132 of which affected Xuzhou.

The inscription carvings on the five Zhenhe stone pillars are only five important ones selected from them:

The inscription on the first column: "In the third year of Yuanguang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (132 BC), the river broke through Puyang Huzi, poured into Juye in the southeast, and seized Si into the Huaihe River. In the second year of Yuanfeng, the Huzi River was blocked, and the river passed through Xuzhou for 20 years."

The talented and generous Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty inspected the disaster situation and saw the flood. He couldn't help writing a poem and lamenting: "I said that the river is so unkind, and the flood is endless. I worry about me." .

The second column inscription: "In the tenth year of Song Shenzong Xining (AD 1077), the river was decided in Caocun, Chanzhou, and moved south to the water and under the city of Xuzhou. Zhizhou Su Shi built a long embankment in the southeast. The city depends on its safety.”

According to historical records, the city was besieged by floods, and the depth of the water was two feet and eight feet.Su Shi took the lead and rushed to build embankments to fight floods and protect the city.He stayed overnight in the city to inspect dangerous situations, and repeatedly refused to enter his house.

When he was in danger, he expressed his ambition with poems, "Sit and watch entering the city and rolling the well, and the officials and people will leave all the kings and respects."

Once the embankment collapsed, he was willing to fill the embankment with his official status like Wang Zun, the prefect of Dongjun in the Han Dynasty, and sacrifice to the river god to turn the tide and ensure that the people and his subordinates escaped from danger.The upper end of the inscription on the stone pillar is engraved with the image of Anti-Hongbao City.

The third column inscription: "Since the Ming Dynasty, the river has collapsed, and there have been disasters every year. In the 18th year of Wanli (1590 A.D.), it overflowed Xuzhou, and the water accumulated in the city for more than a year. Naixiao."

Floods were frequent in the Ming Dynasty, and Pan Jixun, an expert on river control, served as Prime Minister of the river for four years.He took risks to detect the water regime, and the waves capsized the boat and almost died.

In addition to controlling floods in Xuzhou, its achievements lie in "building embankments to prevent floods, confining water to attack sand", and building a dam system for thousands of miles of the Yellow River. Can the Yellow River really be prevented?
