The location of the story of the eyebrow ruler casting sword

2. Although The Spring and Autumn Annals of Wu and Yue, Search for Ji Shen and Biography all confirm that the story of casting swords took place in Chu during the Three Kingdoms period, if we look for more information, we can know that the place where this story took place is not limited to Chu during the Three Kingdoms period, but also spread in Zhao during the Three Kingdoms period. Jin's "Northern Expedition" said: "The migration capital is here (according to ancient Songcheng County, now it belongs to Henan Province), and it was killed by Mei Zhi. The three people were buried together, so they were called the Three Tombs. " "These three tombs are forty-five miles northwest of (Song Cheng) county." In addition, the "County Records" says: "There is a large pool in the southwest of Linfen County, and one person turns over the pot pool, that is, boiling eyebrows. After turning it over, there are still oil stains on the pool water because it is a pool. " (Quoted from Yuan Ke's Dictionary of China Myths and Legends, Shanghai Dictionary Publishing House, 1985 edition) These folk anecdotes are consistent with Liu Xiang's Biography of Martyrs. During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Liu Xiang's theory can also be taken as an example: in Zi Xufu of the Han Dynasty, it was said that "the pearl flag of the Ming Dynasty should be dragged and a cadre's halberd should be built", and in Hanshu, Wei noted that "a cadre is also a master". There is a public halberd in the middle of Hu, which was made by a cadre. Historical Records Liu Songpei yρn @② Ji Jie is the same as Zhang Shuo. The Biography of Martyrs was written earlier than Wu Yue Chun Qiu, and Liu Xiang was earlier than Zhao Ye. Liu Xiang, the fourth grandson of Chu Yuan Wang Jiao Liu, was born in 77 AD (Zhao Hanyuanfeng's fourth year) and died in 6 AD (the first year of Han Ai Emperor Jianping). He lived in the imperial court for decades, and later his job was to proofread ancient books. The achievement of his life was proofreading books, which made him the originator of bibliography in China. Zhao Ye, the author of Wu Yue Chun Qiu, was born in Yinshan Huiji (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang). Born in the early Eastern Han Dynasty, he worked as a county magistrate in his early years. Because I was tired of being an official, I avoided Sichuan as the capital (now Ziyang, Sichuan). The most important work in his life is Wu Yue Chun Qiu. Because he is farther away from ancient times than Liu Xiang, more than 100 years later than Liu Xiang, and lives in a remote place, his chances of getting close to the first-hand raw materials of ancient history are obviously much less. Therefore, the value of Lieshi Biography as miscellaneous historical materials is not lower than that of Wuyue Chunqiu, and the stories recorded in it are also worthy of study and attention, and should not be replaced by Lieyi Biography, which appeared later.
