The Yellow River Basin is the birthplace of the Chinese nation. Lankao county, near the Yellow River, was inhabited by human beings a long time ago. According to legend, the Yellow Emperor Chiyou once visited the county, and Qingyang, the son of the Yellow Emperor (Guo Moruo thought it was a chief of Shao Hao's family), was buried in Qinglinggang, namely Qinglonggang Village, Hongmiao Town, this county. According to the stone tools, pottery and other cultural relics unearthed in this county and its nearby Boniugang (east of Cuilin River in Qixian County), Niumugang (east of the Twin Towers in Minquan County) and Dougudui (Dongming County), it is proved that ancestors lived in this area as early as five or six thousand years ago.
In ancient times, today's lankao county belonged to Yuzhou. During the Western Zhou Dynasty, Wei belonged to the west and Dai belonged to the east. Donghun County and Guxian County have always been set up separately, and later evolved into Yanglan County, Yifeng County and Kaocheng County. Today's lankao county is formed by the merger of two counties in history, namely, Lanfeng (formed by the merger of Yang Lan and Yifeng) and Kaocheng.
Second, splendid culture.
Lankao is known as the "hometown of Confucius" and the hometown of culture, with rich cultural heritage. In history, many scholars and celebrities from other places worked for the officials here. They not only left behind famous achievements, but also wrote many famous works. At the same time, many historical sites and legends and allusions have been left in the past dynasties. Although most of them no longer exist, they are still remembered and praised by people.
Attaching importance to teaching and learning is a great inheritance. Lankao has always advocated culture and attached importance to education, and is known as the wind of giving lectures. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, the story that Confucius traveled around the world and was invited by Lu Shiwei people to Nanbiyi Village was recorded in history. Shi Bi gave lectures in the Han Dynasty, with hundreds of students. Yang Lun gives lectures and has more than 1000 disciples. Due to the importance attached to cultural education in past dynasties, many scholars have been trained. According to incomplete statistics, in the history of Lankao, there were more than 1400 people who recommended and took the imperial examinations, including 3 19 people who were Jinshi and Juren. Wang E (Yuan) failed in the Chinese exam, and Yang Tingbi is a top martial artist.
Masterpieces, make the past serve the present. Historically, there were many works of literati in this county, according to incomplete statistics, about 30 1 species. Due to the limitation of social times, these works have a strong class nature. There are many works that preach loyalty to the monarch and set a monument for the feudal ruling class, but there are also many sympathy and cries for the suffering of the working people. Such as: sealing people to see (on the law, 800), managing rivers and growing vegetables (Pan Mingji's training), ordering the slaughter of cattle, urging rent collectors, mottos, etc.
The past twenty-four scenic spots. The industrious and intelligent people of Lankao not only created brilliant cultural history, but also left countless precious places of interest. However, due to the long history, many places of interest have been flooded by the river, and the grandeur of the past has disappeared, leaving only an empty name or beautiful talk handed down and praised and missed by future generations. The most famous are the three scenes and the twenty-four scenes: the eight scenes of Yanglan are Qintai Ada, Horseshoe Fishing Song, White Mountain Woodcut Song, Cold Mausoleum Xiaoyue, Old Site of the Yellow River, Dongfaint Waste City, Liu Hou's Tomb and Chenping Ancient Temple; The eight scenic spots in Yifeng are Wen Jing's former residence, Liuli Shenjing, Jinhua Women's Camp, Guicheng Xiaoyue, Melia azedarach, Mud Digging and Wild Goose Falling, Qingling Chai Ming and Huang Du Fishing Song.
