Dayu built a lake.
According to legend, when Dayu was controlling water, he dug a shovel in Hengshui Lake, leaving this big depression. After the changes of the times, it finally evolved into the current Hengshui Lake.
Dragon palace borrows treasure
Legend has it that in ancient times, Hengshui Lake was the hometown of Ao Guang, the dragon king of the East China Sea. Later, due to the siltation of the Yellow River, it became a low-lying land. Ao Guang has also moved away, but the Dragon Palace where he lives is still buried underground. At that time, two brothers were farming here. The boss learns to farm with his parents and is an expert in farming. His daughter-in-law is clever and capable. The second child is lazy and the wife is greedy. The boss relies on hard work, the crops grow well, and the small days are getting more and more prosperous; The second child loves ease, and nothing grows in the field. Life is getting worse and worse, stealing crops for a living.
One summer, the boss planted two acres of watermelon, dug up the golden key to open the gate of the Dragon Palace when hoeing the ground, and gave it back to the little dragon king who guarded the Dragon Palace. In order to repay the boss, the little dragon king invited the boss and the second child to the Dragon Palace to get the treasure. At the appointed time, the eldest brother and the second brother followed the little dragon king to the lowest place in the East China Sea. The little dragon king pointed his finger down three times, and the earth opened a crack more than two feet wide. When the three of them got into the cracks in the ground and approached the Dragon Palace, the little dragon king gave up his hands again, and the golden gate of the Dragon Palace immediately opened wide. I saw there were piles of gold, pearls and jade. The boss only took a few pieces of broken gold and silver, but the second one put a lot of jewelry in his pocket and bag. The little dragon king and the eldest brother walked out of Kinmen, but the second one was too tired to vomit blood because of the heavy load. Brother cried and fell to the ground with the little dragon king, and the crack on the ground closed with a bang.
Scarab is drunk.
According to legend, a long time ago, Dayu came to Jizhou to control water. He saw that Fuyang River was very narrow and often flooded in flood season, so he decided to dig a river. Seeing that Dayu was running around day and night in water control, the Jade Emperor sent General Skaba Aide as his mount. General Scarab came to earth from the sky, thinking that he was the general before the Jade Emperor arrived. He didn't care about Dayu at all and didn't want to be his mount, so he became a pioneer in river management.
One day, General Scarab went AWOL and got drunk. Dayu said to General Scarab: "Fuyang River is the main channel from the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain to the East China Sea, which should be widened." General Scarab was drunk and delirious. He mistook Dayu's instructions for "digging wider" and "digging curved". As a result, he absently dug Fuyang River into nine bends and eighteen bends. Until now, Fuyang River is still winding.
Jinjicheng
The ancient Jizhou City is also called Jinji City. Legend has it that in the era when Yuan Shao ruled Jizhou, the people were miserable. Collect today, levy tomorrow, arrest husband and Ding, or dig ditches by force, or arrest them to build a tomb for Yuan Jia and repair a big tomb. Make the quartet complain.
At this moment, a fairy named Li Sanniang appeared. She grinds flour in the lake outside the city every two days, and delivers flour to families from evening to midnight in a single day. People are grateful to Li Sanniang. In order to get Li Sanniang to help him raise troops and seize the world, Yuan Shao and his wife Liu sat on the dragon chariot one day and invited Li Sanniang and Shen Niu out of the city.
As soon as Yuan Shao's car arrived at the city gate, when the wheels moved, he heard the cry of "squeak, squeak, squeak" under the tower, which was exactly the same as the cock crow, loud and pleasant. And because of the sound of the city gate hole, the echo of "squeaking" is constant. Even the soldiers and brave men upstairs at the door heard it. He got out of the car and looked around, but he couldn't find the crying. When the car started, the crying started again at once. His wife was afraid, so she let the chariot leave the city gate and stopped crying when she reached the urn. Someone stamped a foot behind him, and the cry of "creaking" in the gate hole rang again. No one knows that this voice is a cock crow to inform Li Sanniang. Li Sanniang crowed and knew that Yuan Shao was coming, so she rode a magical cow and headed for Mount Tai, never coming back.
