Stories and legends of the Great Wall-wangjinglou 1. Qi Jiguang was the company commander of the market town at that time. With the support of Tan Lun, he personally planned and supervised the Jinshanling Great Wall (located in Luanping County, Hebei Province). The structure of this section of the Great Wall is unique. The wall is made of huge strips of stones and bricks. At the eastern end of the Jinshanling Great Wall, on the towering Tiger Hill, there is a wangjinglou at the top of the mountain, with an altitude of 1000 meters. There are cliffs on both sides of the building, and people can only climb through the cracks in the stone. It is said that many people were killed and injured in order to transport a stone when it was built, but the stone still could not be transported. This moved the Jade Emperor so much that he immediately sent his nephew Erlang God to transport stones. That night, Erlang God came to the foot of Tiger Mountain and saw piles of stones there. Then he shook his magic knife and immediately turned it into a mountain whip. He whipped the mountain whip with his hand and shouted "change" The stone immediately turned into a big goat and went straight to the top of the mountain. When he reached the top of the mountain, he counted, neither more nor less, just enough. At this time, a soldier urinated in the tent, suddenly saw Erlang God herding sheep and ran back with a scream. Erlang was also taken aback when he heard someone shouting. He kicked dozens of stones down the mountain and landed on the east mountain. Jiro immediately ascended to heaven. In this way, there are dozens of stones missing for repairing wangjinglou. Now, when you go to wangjinglou, you will see that five of the twelve cornerstones at the bottom of the building are built with rubble. The stones kicked down the mountain by Erlang God are still piled up in the ravine, and the locals call them jumping stones. 2. The story and legend of the Great Wall-"Yumenguan" In ancient times, in the west of Xiaofang City, Gansu Province, there was a post station called "Horse Lost Rabbit", also known as "Horse Lost". Caravans have to pass through this place to transport jade from the border to the Central Plains. The terrain here is very complicated: swamps are everywhere, ravines are criss-crossing, forests cover the sun, and weeds are everywhere. Whenever caravans carrying jade catch up with the hot weather, they always like to travel in the cool at night in order to avoid heatstroke of people and animals during the day. So whenever cavalry comes here, it is always dark and can't tell the direction. Even the old horses who often travel back and forth on this road will be confused and difficult to find their way. That's how the name "lost horse" came from. There is a caravan selling jade and silk. It travels along this road all the year round and often gets lost in the "lost horse" Once, the caravan got lost as soon as it entered the "lost horse". People were very anxious, and suddenly a lone goose landed not far away. A young man in the caravan quietly caught the wild goose. He is kind-hearted and holds it in his arms, ready to take it out of the "lost horse" and then let it go. After a while, I saw the wild goose purring at the young man with tears: "Gollum, give me food to get lost." After listening to this, the young man suddenly realized that he had left the goose because he was too hungry to fly, so he immediately took his own dry food and water to feed it. After eating, the geese flew into the sky and circled constantly, leading the caravan out of the "horse lost road" and successfully reaching the destination Xiaofang City. After a while, the caravan got lost in the "lost horse", and the wild goose flew in the air and cried, "Gollum, the caravan is lost." Whoops, the square plate is inlaid with jade. "Call while flying, while leading the caravan out of the way. Only the young man who saved the wild goose understood what the wild goose said and told the leader's boss: "The wild goose told us to put a luminous dark green jade in the small square city, and the caravan would never get lost again when it had a goal. "Hearing this, the boss felt that a glowing dark green jade was worth several thousand two hundred pieces of silver, and he could not bear to part with it, so he did not agree. Unexpectedly, the next time the caravan got lost in the "lost horse", it could not find water for several days. The camel was panting with thirst, and everyone was thirsty and dying. Just then, the wild goose flew up again and cried in the air, "The caravan has been lost, and the square plate is inlaid with jade. Don't give up jet and never lead the way." After listening, the young man hurried to tell the boss. The boss panicked and asked the young man what to do. The young man said, "You should kneel down and swear to the goose:' You must be inlaid with jade and never break your word.' . "The boss immediately knelt down and swore to the wild goose as the young man said. When the geese heard this, they spun in the air for a while, which led to the caravan's "lost horse" again and the caravan was saved. After arriving in Xiaofangcheng, the boss never dared to love money again. He immediately picked out the biggest and best glowing dark green jade and put it on the top of the building. Whenever night falls, this jade shines brightly and can be clearly seen dozens of miles away in Fiona Fang. Caravans used to have goals and won't get lost again. Since then, Xiaofangcheng has been renamed "Yumenguan". In fact, Yumenguan was built by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, because it was an important traffic artery leading to the western regions in ancient China. Hetian jade stone was imported from the western regions and entered the customs from then on, hence the name. Therefore, the story of the palace is 1. Legend has it that when Liu Bowen built a palace in Beijing, the emperor and his son, the Prince of Yan, planned to build the palace in a larger space, always thinking that the place where the emperor lived should be particularly luxurious, otherwise the dignity of the son of heaven would not be reflected. On this day, the emperor was about to announce Liu Bowen. At this juncture, Liu Bowen came. As soon as Liu Bowen saw the emperor, he said, "Long live the opening ceremony. I had a dream last night. I dreamed that the Jade Emperor called my minister to the Lingxiao Hall and said to him, "You want to build a palace for the emperor." . Tell him! There are 1000 halls in the Heavenly Palace, and mortal palaces are not allowed to exceed the Heavenly Palace. You have to tell him that only by inviting thirty-six King Kong and seventy-two demons to guard the earthly imperial capital can the weather be good and the country and the people be safe. You must remember that. When the Jade Emperor said these words, he came at me with a white fragrant mist, which suddenly woke up the minister! "Hearing this, the emperor felt very strange. He wanted to think, and ordered Liu Bowen to supervise the construction of less than 1,000 palaces, but he still wanted to measure them like the Heavenly Palace, and asked King Kong and the dungeon to protect court officials. Liu Bowen got the order, and the story got around in Beijing. People are waiting to see how Liu Bowen builds palaces and invites 36 King Kong and 72 underground palaces to protect them. A few days later, Liu Bowen took care of everything. When the emperor saw how luxurious the palace was built, the number of rooms was really less than 1000, and then he saw the magnificent palace, as if it were guarded by a fairy. The more the emperor looked, the happier he became. At that time, he gave Liu a knighthood and many jewels. Foreigners heard that Liu Bowen invited the God 36 King Kong 72 Underground Palace to protect the Imperial City, and they did not dare to make an accident in dispatch troops. Later, people learned that there were 999 semi-palaces in the Forbidden City. Thirty-six King Kong, the god of heaven, is a thirty-six-mouth golden urn placed at the palace gate. The seventy-two underground palace is the seventy-two trench of the Forbidden City. 2. The legend of the Forbidden City turret. There is a corner building with nine beams, eighteen columns and seventy-two ridges in each corner of the Forbidden City, which is beautifully built. How are these four corners covered? There is a legend in Beijing that after Zhu Li, the prince of the Ming Dynasty, became Emperor Yongle in Nanjing, he wanted to move to Beijing because Beijing was his old place when he was a monarch, so he sent a trusted minister to Beijing to build an official. Zhu Li told the minister that four particularly beautiful watchtowers should be built on the four corners of the Forbidden City, that is, on the outer wall of the palace. Each watchtower should have nine beams, eighteen columns and seventy-two backbones. And said, "You should be the minister of water heating. If the lid can't be repaired, behead it! " "After receiving the imperial edict from the emperor, the plumbing minister was very worried and didn't know how to build this watchtower with nine beams, eighteen columns and seventy-two ridges. When the Minister of Industry arrived in Beijing, he called 8 1 big contractors, foremen and carpenters, told them the emperor's will, and told them that these four grotesque turrets must be built on schedule, and said, "If they can't do it, the emperor will naturally kill my head, but before I kill my head, I will cut off your heads and be careful with your heads." The foreman and carpenter are not sure about such a project, so they have to find a way together. The period of three months is very short, and it will be one month in the blink of an eye. The foreman and carpenter haven't come up with a clue or method yet. They made many models, none of which were suitable. This is just in time for the dog days in June and July. It was stifling hot, and they were bored. It is really inappropriate for foremen and carpenters to sit or lie down. There was such a carpenter who couldn't stay any longer and went for a walk in the street. Walking, I heard a sound of fruit from a distance, and then I heard a cry: "Buy fruit, listen, can't sleep, go and relieve boredom!" " Looking closer, I saw an old man carrying a lot of stalks, big and small, peddling along the street. One of them is a cage with a straw stick, which is as exquisite as a pavilion in the painting. There are some crickets in it. The carpenter thought: Anyway, I was bored to death. Shit, I couldn't live any longer, so I bought a beautiful cage. It looked interesting and I bought it. The carpenter returned to the construction site with the cage. Everyone quarreled as soon as they saw it: "People are very upset. How can you buy a cage for a tramp? What's the point of noisy? " The carpenter smiled and said, "Everyone can't sleep. Look ... "He wants to say how beautiful this cage is! But before he spoke, he thought the cage was a little special. He quickly waved his hand and said, "Stop arguing and I'll count." He carefully counted the beams, columns and ridges of the Guo cage over and over again. Everyone was attracted by this number and looked at it quietly and straight, but there was no sound. After counting the cages, the carpenter jumped up and patted his thigh and said, "Isn't this the seventy-two ridges of nine beams, eighteen columns?" Everyone was very happy to hear that. This one takes over counting cages, and that one takes over counting cages. They all said, "This is really a castle with nine beams, eighteen columns and seventy-two ridges." Inspired by this cage, everyone came up with the appearance of the turret of the Forbidden City, scalded out pulp to make patterns, and finally repaired it into a horn arm that still exists today. Once upon a time, there was a man guarding the door in the Forbidden City. According to the man, you can hear someone playing music every night, and sometimes you can see the ladies-in-waiting eunuchs waiting in line. All the children in that family are in poor health, and the old man said it was because that person had big yin, which affected the next generation! Not only that, have you noticed that many courtyards of the Forbidden City are closed to tourists? In fact, there have been phenomena that science cannot explain in every government. Before liberation, many people died in these places! It's either disappearing for no reason or dying, but it's always bizarre to find out why. But there is one thing in common: if you can still see the body after death, then the body has no face. Even more frightening is a well. Looking down during the day, there are some stones and weeds at the bottom of the well. But when you look down after 12 every night, as long as there is a moon in the sky, you will see that there are no stones and weeds at the bottom of the well, only water, but no face ... Of course, some scientists have explained that it is scientific to see ladies in the Forbidden City, because the palace walls are red and contain. Lightning can conduct electricity. If a maid-in-waiting happens to pass by, then the palace wall is equivalent to a video function. If lightning strikes again in the future, the shadow of the recorded maid-in-waiting may appear like a video screening.
