Lieyukou, a native of Putian (Xigucheng Village, Baisha Township) in the period of Wei Liewang in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, was a famous thinker and fable writer at that time, known as Liezi in history.
Liezi was poor all his life, did not seek fame and fortune, and lived in seclusion for 40 years, unknown. Someone recommended him to Ziyang, the ruler of Zheng at that time, saying that he was a famous figure today and was trapped in Zheng. If the current dynasty didn't express anything to him, it would be discussed. Ziyang sent someone to send him ten carts of grain. He thanked him again and again, but he refused to accept it. His wife blamed his family for being too poor, and he shouldn't refuse the gift. He said: "Ziyang didn't really understand me, but only helped me by listening to others and seeking fame and reputation." Since it is not from the heart, you should not accept his help. "
He stayed away from officialdom all his life, devoted himself to study and respected Huang Lao (Huangdi and Laozi). He wrote 20 books, more than100000 words. Tian Rui, Zhong Ni, Tang Wen, Yang Zhu, Fu Shuo, Huangdi, Zhou Muwang, Mo Lifeng and other eight articles are now circulating and compiled into Liezi, which is rich in content and contains many myths and legends. Among them, the famous Yu Gong Yi Shan and Ji Chang Society are both works of simple materialism and dialectical view more than 2,000 years ago, which are very valuable cultural heritage.
Legend has it that one day Li Yukou bid farewell to his neighbors and left for the west, "ascending to heaven" on the way. Later, people called it a Taoist shop (located in the western suburbs of Zhengzhou), where it ascended to heaven.

National hero Shi Kefa.
Shi Kefa was born in Daxing County, Shuntianfu, Zhili (Hebei), and his grandfather moved to Houshizhuang, Xiangfu County, Henan Province (Houshizhuang, Langchenggang Township, zhongmou county).
Shi Kefa was famous for his filial piety in his hometown in his early years. In the first year of Chongzhen (1628), he was a scholar and worked as an official in Xi 'an. Later, he served as minister of family, foreign minister and doctor.
In the eighth year of Chongzhen, he served as the right secretariat (military post) and was ordered to be stationed in Chizhou and Taiping, Anhui Province. Autumn served as Lu Xiangsheng (a famous soldier in Chongzhen, an official of the Ministry of War, and later served as the governor's platform), responsible for the defense of Anqing and Chizhou, and commanding the Jiangbei Army. In the tenth year of Chongzhen, Jin Youyu was the censor, and the governors of Anqing, Luzhou, Taiping and Chizhou, as well as Gwangju, Guangshan, Gushi, Luoshan, Huguang, qi zhou, Guangji, Huangmei, Dehua and Hukou in Jiangxi, supervised military affairs in various places, with 10,000 soldiers.
Shi Kefa is loyal and can share joys and sorrows with the soldiers. In the March, he always waits for the foot soldiers to eat. When the soldiers put on their cotton-padded clothes, he went to change. Therefore, he is very popular and willing to work for him.
In the summer of the twelfth year of Chongzhen, he left his post because of his father's funeral, returned to his hometown for the first filial piety, and was reinstated at the expiration of his term. He used to be the right assistant minister (deputy of Shangshu) and the right supervisor, acting as the governor of Zhu Dadian. He called for the replacement of two incompetent grain supervisors, the addition of a grain storage supervisor, the dredging of rivers, the promotion of Cao Zheng and the governors of Fengyang, Huai' an and Yangzhou. Jigong was promoted to be the minister of Nanjing Ministry of War and participated in military affairs.
In March of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng advanced on Beijing. He led the troops across the river and went north until Pukou and Beijing fell, and Emperor Chongzhen committed suicide. Ministers in Nanjing put forward that Wang Changfang of Lu should supervise the country (acting as emperor), and officials can agree with this theory. In April, Ma Shiying, Ruan Dacheng, etc. Forced to take him from Song Dynasty to Nanking without authorization, Shi Kefa agreed to a fait accompli, established a state supervision, and took Shi Kefa as an official of the Ministry of War. The following year, the axe king proclaimed himself and changed to Hong Guang.
In order to support this cause, the emperor, Ma and Ruan were all skeptical about Shi Kefa. Besides, Hong Guang is fatuous and Ma Shiying is bossy. Shi Kefa was marginalized and uneasy. Because he invited Yangzhou, Huai and Yang in Beijing, he was named Prince Taibao, changed to Ministry of War Shangshu, and later was named Prince Taishi.
During the nearly two years from Axe Wang Jianli to the fall of Yangzhou, due to the fatuity of the imperial court and the power of the prime minister, the Southern Ming Dynasty was in jeopardy. Shi Kefa tried his best to support him, but the worthies only knew how to plot against him and didn't listen to his instructions. As a result, the territory is shrinking and the overall situation is difficult to recover. In the second year of Shunzhi (1645), on April 20th, the Qing army besieged Yangzhou, but Shi Kefa failed to transfer troops. Li Qifeng, the main commander of the city, and Gao Qifeng, the deputy commander, led the troops to surrender, and the city was besieged. Shi Kefa refused to let his men divide up, determined to live and die with the city. He wrote to his mother and wife and said, "When you die, bury me next to Gaoling." During the siege, the generals of the Qing army were lured to surrender many times, but they were sternly rejected. On April 22nd, the Qing soldiers were trapped in the city, and Shi Kefa committed suicide before his death. He ordered the assistant general, Shi Decheng, to make up for it. Decheng wept bitterly and dared not look up. His men took him out of the small east gate and were unfortunately captured. Duoduo advised him to surrender, and Shi Kefa shouted excitedly, "I will never surrender to my teacher." He was killed at the age of 45.
The Qing soldiers bloodbath Yangzhou for ten days, and the bones piled up, and Shi Kefa's body was hard to distinguish. A year later, Yangzhou people and their families were buried in Meihua Mausoleum on the outskirts of Yangzhou, which was called "Shigebu" in history and "Zhongjing" in Nanming. Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty visited Yangzhou in the south and presented "loyalty". In the forty-ninth year of Qianlong (1786), his great-grandson Shi Kaichun collected his manuscripts and published them in four volumes.
Shi Kefa lived a frugal life. He worked as a minister of war, a university student and a governor of Yangzhou, but he couldn't cover himself (an umbrella) and ate differently. He doesn't slap himself in summer and doesn't wear clothes in winter. When he was in his forties and had no children, his wife suggested that he marry a concubine. He said: "Wang Fang is honest, how dare you do this for your children!" " !
After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), Shi Kefa Memorial Hall was built in Yangzhou. Zhu De wrote banners, while Guo Moruo and Zhao Puchu wrote commemorative poems for him.
