The legend of Dujiangyan

1, Dujiangyan Legend 1- Jiang Shen Legend of Li Bing

Legend has it that after Li Bing took office, he heard that Jiang Shen near Chengdu would marry the bride every year, so he dressed up his two daughters and prepared to give them to Jiang Shen, but nothing happened to Jiang Shen. Li Bing was furious and fought hard, and finally killed the pale cow changed from Shenjiang.

Later, Bing created three big stone figures and put them in the middle of the river. He agreed with Jiang Shen that when the water was dry, it should not be lower than the instep of the stone figures, and when the water was boiling, it should not exceed the shoulders of the stone figures. In addition, Bing carved five Shi Niu as his incarnations, and placed Shi Niu beside the river to guard the river and prevent monsters in the river from doing evil.

2. The legend of Dujiangyan II-the legend of Li Erlang's dragon.

There is also a legend that in the ancient Minjiang River, the dragon harmed people, and Jiro, the son of Li Bing, led the Seven Saints of Haishan to descend the dragon. After a fierce battle, the seven saints and the hounds and growling dogs were killed in the battlefield, and the dragon fled south with serious injuries. Jiro chased Qingcheng Mountain, disappeared from the dragon's sight, sat on a big stone to rest, and met an old woman.

The old woman knew that he was Li Bing's son. In order to urge Long to come here, she warmly received him, cooked noodles and invited him to dinner. Soon, the dragon in human form also came to the old woman's house and begged for food to satisfy her hunger.

The old woman saw at a glance that it was a dragon and cooked a pot of noodles for it. Who knows, when noodles reach the dragon's stomach, they all turn into chains with iron hooks, which lock the dragon from its stomach and make it yield easily. So far, there are two remains at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain: the "ass print" where Li Erlang sat and the "dragon rolling trough" where the dragon rolled.

3. Three Legends of Dujiangyan-Legend of Lovers Bridge (An Lan Bridge)

There is also a An Lan Bridge in Dujiangyan, and the An Lan Bridge is also called the Couple Bridge. There is a touching story among the people, and the husband and wife are determined to build a bridge. He Xiande, a teacher of Hanjiaba private school in western Sichuan, was determined to rebuild the dilapidated An Lan Bridge during Jiaqing period of Qing Dynasty. He raised funds in many ways, led the people to start construction, and violated the interests of the ferry.

Watanabe colluded with the government to arrest Mr. He on the charge of "ignoring human life" and died in prison. Determined to carry on her husband's legacy, his wife continued to ask craftsmen to repair the bridge and finally built a new bridge. This bridge uses stones and rafts as piers, thick bamboo cables as columns, and vertical boards are used to fix the column cables every ten meters, so the bridge body is stable and reliable.

In order to thank the couple who benefit the people, people call this new bridge "Husband and Wife Bridge". Others wrote a poem for this purpose: "Husband and wife cross the bridge, and the husband sings with the woman, and the husband sings with the woman; The wife and husband will eventually become a great cause, and Changhong will cross things from generation to generation. " Others have compiled the story of the couple building a bridge into a Sichuan opera, which has been performed all over Sichuan and even in Beijing and Shanghai.
