According to legend, Zhu Yuanzhang passed through Xuzhou during the Northern Expedition in the early Ming Dynasty. Liu Bowen, a military strategist, saw that Xuzhou had a royal spirit. He took a closer look and saw that Yunlong Mountain has the posture of dragon head, Phoenix Mountain has the posture of drinking the Yellow River, and there will be emperors and queens in the future.

In order to protect Daming Mountain forever, a tower was built on Kuishan Mountain, the only vein in Fenghuang Mountain, to suppress the spirit of Phoenix, which is Kuishan Tower. He also dug a spring on Yunlong Mountain to fight borneol, which is the drinking crane spring.

In this way, the kingship of Xuzhou was broken by him, and Xuzhou was no longer an emperor.

There is still a ballad in Xuzhou: "Liu Bowen villain, the feng shui in the world is broken!"

2. The name of Yunlong Mountain in Xuzhou

Because Liu Bang used to hide in this mountain.

In 206 BC, Liu Bang killed a white snake in Fengze, raised the banner of righteousness, and declared an anti-Qin uprising.

But there were only more than 20 people at that time, and the troops were weak, so they went south to Xuzhou and came to Yunlong Mountain.

For safety, Liu Bang changed places every day.

But every time Lv Zhi comes from Pei County, he can be found quickly.

Liu asked why, and said, there is always a piece of auspicious cloud over the mountain somewhere, which looks like a dragon, so I went straight over, and sure enough, you were there.

Because Liu Bang later became the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, the emperor was a "dragon", and the mountain where he was hiding was also called Yunlong Mountain.

3. Xianhong Island in Xuzhou

According to legend, in the Song Dynasty, Su Shi was appointed as well-known in Xuzhou. After taking office, I am conscientious and people-oriented.

A year of heavy rain, the Yellow River went crazy and flooded Xuzhou City. Many people were trapped on their roofs, begging the Dragon King not to get off again.

Su Shi led the flood fighting troops to run up the city walls and dams in the rain, blocking the breach and saving the people.

At this time, the dragon prince had an epiphany and threatened in mid-air: Su Dongpo, it is not difficult for you to make this cloud stop raining and the flood recede.

I want to be alone. If you give him to me, I will drink the water. Otherwise, I will turn this Xuzhou city into a Zeguo, and all the people will go into the stomachs of fish and turtles. I want Su Xiaomei.

Su Dongpo was taken aback. Su Xiaomei is Su Dongpo's sister. How can brother and sister give up? But people in the city are crying for help. What shall we do? At this moment, Su Xiaomei stood up and said, if we can save the people of this city, my life will belong to his ancestors.

Say and jump into the torrent.

The Dragon King kept his promise, and sure enough, the clouds stopped raining, and the flood receded slowly until it retreated to Xianhong Island and disappeared without a trace, leaving only a red embroidered shoe of Su Xiaomei on the ground.

The whole city was saved. In memory of Su Xiaomei, the island was named "Xianhong".

4. Xuzhou Huanggu Tomb

Regarding the earth mound of Longtuhan Formation, the local villagers called it "Huanggu Tomb".

According to legend, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Tao Qian, the satrap of Xuzhou, wanted to please Cao Cao and invited Cao Song, Cao Cao's father who was passing by Xuzhou, to have a banquet in the city. However, when he left, the general sent by Tao Qian got bored on the way and killed Cao Song.

Cao Cao was furious when he learned that his father had been killed. He blamed Tao Qian, sent troops to besiege Xuzhou, and wantonly slaughtered the city.

Tao Qian was so scared that he sent someone to ask Liu Bei for help overnight. Liu Bei immediately led his troops to Xuzhou for rescue.

Liu Bei has a younger sister named Huang Gu, who is thin and weak. She worked hard all the way and became seriously ill.

When I arrived at Jiawang, I was dying, dying.

Liu Huangshu had no choice but to leave his sister in the local aftercare and lead his troops to Xuzhou for rescue.

After Cao Cao withdrew, Liu Bei returned to Jiawang to visit his sister, but his aunt soon went to Crane Tour.

People in Tao Qian and Xuzhou were so grateful that Liu Huangshu saved their lives that they built a big grave for their aunt, which was later called "Aunt's Tomb".

5. Hangshui Village in Xuzhou

When Confucius led his disciples around the world, he visited Xuzhou, climbed mountains and saw Lu.

Legend has it that Confucius just climbed to the top of the mountain, when the rainstorm poured down and the floods gathered, forming a torrent in the mountain village, which was about to engulf the village.

Then a miracle happened: when the flood rose, the village also floated and hung on the water, safe and sound.

Confucius sighed, "Strange, strange!" Since then, the village has been renamed Hangshui Village, which is still in use today.
