Shilu's official position is Yu Shi in Qin Bamboo Slips, which is called "Shilu" or "Jian Lu" in historical materials. As for his surname, date of birth and death, and place of origin, there is no way to verify it. Sima Qian's Historical Records? Hou Fu passed it on, Liu An's Huai Nan Zi? Ren Xun and Ban Gu's Hanshu? Yan has mentioned the story of "Shilu Digging the Tomb", but the record is very brief.
It was not until the Song Dynasty that there were some supplementary descriptions. In Song Dynasty, Fan Chengda wrote in "Return": The source of Xiang water is Haiyang Mountain, where it flows into the great river. Rongjiang River flows downstream from Yanghe River and flows south from here. Xing' an has the highest terrain, and the two waters are far from a goal. Lu opened this canal and injected it into the stream of Hunan, so that the north water merged into the south and the north boat crossed the ridge.
The History of Song Dynasty compiled by Yuan Dynasty? "Hequ Zhi" also records that "the source of Guangxi Shuiling Canal is Lishui, north of Xing 'an and Guilin, and southwest of Guo. It was originally carved by Qin Shilu, and the following soldiers were in South Guangdong. "
There is also a statue of Shilu in Sixian Ancestral Temple on the bank of Lingqu South Canal. People admire him for digging the Lingqu, and he has made great contributions. He is known as "a stone's throw away from the Chu River and across the river, which makes your talents churn."
Under the auspices of Shilu, through the efforts of Qin Jun and the recruited working people, after several years of cold and heat, Lingqu was successfully excavated.
