Cai Xiang's calligraphy works show an atmosphere of literati at that time. He followed the example of Wang Xizhi, Yan Zhenqing and others, striving for novelty, being detached and refined, sober and indifferent, and reaching the realm of elegance and beauty. This kind of state can often arouse readers' * *, and get promoted while enjoying it. Cai Xiang's calligraphy is created on the basis of inheriting predecessors, not repeating, thus forming a new calligraphy pattern. Learning from the ancients and inheriting the predecessors, Cai Shu has a new aesthetic value, and his calligraphy works will remain in the history of calligraphy forever. It is said that Han Yu often goes to Dongshanmen (now Bijia Mountain) to play after low tide. But deeply feeling the pain of crossing the river, he asked his nephew Han Xiangzi and monk Guangji to build a bridge together.
Han Xiangzi built a bridge in the east and invited the Eight Immortals to help. Han Xiangzi personally went to Phoenix Mountain to get the stone and turned it into a black pig. He came all the way, but as soon as the last group of pigs arrived in Fengnan, they were caught by a pregnant woman and screamed, How can stones walk? In a word, the cat was leaked, and the stone couldn't catch up any more, so the last piers in the east where Han Xiangzi was in charge were not repaired.
Monk Guangji built a bridge in the southwest, and asked eighteen arhats for help. He personally went to Pu Sang Mountain to pick up stones, turned them into flocks of black sheep, and came all the way. But when the last batch of black sheep were halfway, they met a local bully landlord and deliberately wanted to take these sheep away. They said, "Monk, where did you get the sheep?" ! Apparently it's my family. Monk Guangji was tired of being pestered and said, "Since it is your sheep, hurry to your field!"! "! The landlord drove the sheep to his field together, but the sheep turned into Wushi Mountain, crushing the landlord's fertile land. According to legend, this is the origin of Wuyang Mountain.
Therefore, the last batch of black pigs and sheep did not arrive in time, and the middle section of the bridge could not be repaired. What are we doing? It's almost dawn again. Among the Eight Immortals, He Xiangu will throw the lotus petals in his hand into the middle of the river and become an eighteen-shuttle boat; When monk Guangji saw it, he immediately threw down his mord, turned it into a big vine, tied it to 18 big ships, and became a pontoon bridge. In this way, people call this bridge "Xiangzi Bridge" and "Guangji Bridge" to commemorate the achievements of the bridge built by the gods and the Buddha. The immortal mark on the Zhao Zhouqiao mainly refers to the hoofprint left by the legendary Zhang riding a donkey backwards on the bridge; The driveway ditch marks and knee marks on the knees rolled by Chai Wangye's cart crossing the bridge; In order to save the stone bridge, Lu Ban jumped into the river and put his hand on the palm print of the stone bridge. These fairy tales often become one of the most interesting contents for tourists. When he came to Zhao Zhouqiao, he had to look for it first. This is the most famous legend about Zhao Zhouqiao.
According to legend, a long time ago, five miles south of Zhao County, Hebei Province, there was a big river named Yanhe. Weihe River originates from Jingxing Mountain in the west of Hebei Province. In ancient times, its water potential was great. Every summer and autumn, when heavy rain comes, rain and mountain springs flow down together, and several rivers meet along the way to form a turbulent torrent. Therefore, residents and pedestrians on both sides of the Weihe River find it inconvenient.
Lu Ban, a famous craftsman, knows the difficulties of the people in Zhao County. He came all the way here specially to show his superb technology and built this Zhaozhou Dashiqiao overnight.
Zhao Zhouqiao made good news, which soon spread to all directions. Residents from far and near came to visit in surprise. This miracle even shocked one of Zhang. In the wallet on the donkey's back, there is a "sun" on one side and a "moon" on the other side to cross the bridge. That's not enough. Zhang originally wanted to play a joke on Lu Ban. He made an appointment with Chai Rong, pushing a unicycle carrying the "Five Mountains and Famous Mountains" and came to the bridge together. He asked whether the bridge would allow them to walk at the same time. At this time, Luban just built the bridge and was very proud. He said disapprovingly, "Such a strong stone bridge can't stand you two?" Unexpectedly, after they got on the bridge, they crushed it to pieces. Seeing that the situation was not good, Lu Ban jumped off the bridge and held the east side of the bridge with both hands, so that the two immortals passed the Sun Moon and the Five Mountains smoothly. Since then, there have been several "immortals" on the bridge that people talk about; Zhang's donkey's hoofprint and the round pit pressed by his hat; Chai Rong had a knee print and a driveway ditch on one knee because of pushing the cart too hard; And the handprint of Lubanto Bridge. Later, except for the collapse of the east, the handprints were gone, and the rest of the fairy tales "survived." This vivid legend is sung in "Little Cowherd".
