The Story of Meng Jiangnu Crying at the Great Wall
After Qin Shihuang unified China, he recruited hundreds of thousands of civilians to connect and repair the northern city walls of Qin, Yan and Zhao in 214 BC One, this is the world-famous Great Wall. The legend that Meng Jiangnu traveled thousands of miles to find her husband and gave her cold clothes, and cried down the Great Wall for 800 miles, happened at that time.
In ancient times, Old Man Meng and Old Man Jiang were neighbors, separated only by a wall. One spring, Old Man Meng planted a gourd seed in his yard. After careful cultivation by watering and fertilizing, the gourd seed grew tall and fat. It climbed over the wall and formed a large gourd seed in Old Man Jiang's yard. The gourd weighs dozens of kilograms. When the gourd was ripe, Old Man Jiang took a knife to cut it open. Suddenly he saw a white, fat, and very cute girl lying inside. Old Man Jiang looked out with joy and ran to tell others. After hearing about it, the villagers came to watch one after another. This was new, but the two old men Meng and Jiang had conflicts because of it, and they had a heated argument. Old Man Meng said very firmly: "I planted this gourd myself, and the fat girl should be mine." But Old Man Jiang said stubbornly: "This gourd was planted in my yard, and this girl should be mine." After three days and three nights of quarreling, there was no solution, and no results were achieved. Later, the villagers mediated and concluded that the baby girl belonged to the two families, and they lived in turns and were raised by both families, and they were given the name of "Meng Jiangnu". name.
Time flies, the sun and the moon fly by, and more than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. The elders of the Meng and Jiang families have chosen a son-in-law named Fan Qiliang for their grown-up daughter Meng Jiang. They have chosen a good and auspicious day to get married. . Something unexpected happened. On the wedding day, the bridegroom and the bride were about to pay their respects. Suddenly, several government servants burst in from outside the door. They swarmed up and took the groom Fan Qiliang away as a civil servant.
It turns out that at that time, Qin Shihuang dispatched a large number of civilians across the country to build the Great Wall and worked hard day and night. Countless civilians were exhausted and starved to death. In order to speed up the project, they arrested people everywhere. The civilian husband added that Fan Qiliang was also assigned to serve as a civilian husband to build the Great Wall.
A year passed in the blink of an eye, and there was no news from Fan Zhaliang. Meng Jiangnu was so anxious that she couldn’t eat or sleep. She didn’t know what to do. After discussing with the elderly from the two families, she decided to find her husband and vowed to find her husband. She will never go home without her husband. She packed up dry food and special warm clothes for her husband and hit the road. Along the way, we were exposed to wind, rain, sun, wind and cold, suffered from hunger and cold, and walked with difficulty. After traveling thousands of miles with great difficulties and dangers, we finally found the place where the Great Wall was built. After asking about it, we found out that many people died in building the Great Wall, including her husband Fan Qiliang. He died of exhaustion long ago and was buried under the Great Wall, and his bones were never found. This news was like a bolt from the blue. Meng Jiangnu immediately began to cry sadly. Her tears were like springs and her voice was like thunder. She cried so loudly that the sky was dark and the earth was dark. She watched sections of the Great Wall collapse. She cried wherever she went, covering a distance of eight hundred miles. long. The project manager was so anxious that he hurriedly reported to Qin Shihuang, who was here to inspect the progress of the project. Qin Shihuang hurriedly went to see Meng Jiangnu to find out the reason. As soon as he saw her, he was fascinated by her beauty and insisted on naming her "the Empress of the Palace". Although Meng Jiangnu was full of anger, she still suppressed the hatred in her heart. She had an idea and decided to make Qin Shihuang agree to her three conditions in order to become the "main palace empress". First, the body of her husband Fan Zhaliang must be found; secondly, a state funeral must be held for her husband; thirdly, Qin Shihuang must bury Fan Qiliang in mourning and with flags. After listening to the three conditions Meng Jiangnu put forward, Qin Shihuang thought for a moment, and in order to get the beautiful Meng Jiangnu, he agreed bravely. After Meng Jiangnu wore a filial piety and paid homage to the tomb of Fan Zhaliang, who died for building the city, her long-cherished wish was fulfilled and she faced the rolling tide. of the Bohai Sea, jumped into the sea and committed suicide.
The story of Meng Jiangnu crying at the Great Wall was soon spread by people. To commemorate her, people built a tomb and a temple for her on a hill near Shanhaiguan, named it "Jiangnu Temple" ". The story of Meng Jiangnu searching for her husband for thousands of miles and bringing him cold clothes and tearing down the Great Wall for 800 miles is a well-known story that has been passed down to this day.
2. Stories and legends of the Great Wall - Wangjing Tower
At that time, Qi Jiguang was the chief military officer of Ji Town. With the support of Tan Lun, he personally planned and supervised the construction of the Jinshanling Great Wall. (Located in Luanping County, Hebei Province).
This section of the Great Wall has a unique structure. The city wall is based on huge stone strips and is wrapped with bricks. At the eastern end of the Jinshanling Great Wall, on Tiger Mountain, which reaches into the clouds, there is a Wangjing Tower, located on the top of a thousand-meter-high mountain. There are cliffs on both sides of the tower, and people can only climb up through the cracks in the rocks. It is said that when it was built, many people were killed and injured trying to transport the stones, but the stones still could not be transported up. This incident moved the Jade Emperor, and he immediately sent his nephew Erlang Shen to transport the stone. That night, Erlang Shen came to the foot of Tiger Mountain and saw piles of rocks piled there. He then swung his magic sword and immediately turned it into a mountain whip. He whipped the rocks with his mountain whip and shouted "change" at the same time. The rocks immediately turned into big goats and went straight to the top of the mountain. When he reached the top of the mountain, he counted them. No more, no less, just enough. At this time, a soldier was urinating at the tent. Suddenly he saw Erlang Shen driving sheep, and he screamed and ran back. Erlang Shen was also startled when he heard someone shouting. He kicked dozens of rocks down the mountain and landed in the east mountain col. Erlangshen immediately jumped into the sky.
In this way, dozens of stones were missing to build Wangjing Tower. When you climb up to Wangjing Tower now, you will see that five of the twelve floors of foundation stones at the bottom of the building are made of gravel. The rocks kicked down the mountain by Erlang Shen are still piled up in the mountain col. The locals call this mountain col Tiaoshi Col.
3. Stories and legends of the Great Wall - "Yumen Pass"
In ancient times, there was a post station called "Ma Mi Tu", also known as "Ma Mi Tu", to the west of Xiaofang City, Gansu Province. stray". Caravans transporting jade from Khotan on the border to the Central Plains must pass through this place. The terrain here is very complex: swamps, ravines, forests, and overgrown weeds. Whenever caravans transporting jade are on the road in hot weather, in order to avoid people and animals suffering from heat stroke during the day, they always like to cool off at night and travel quickly. Therefore, whenever the horse team comes here, it is always dark and it is difficult to discern the direction. Even the old horses that often go back and forth on this road will get dizzy and have difficulty knowing the way. This is how the name "Ma Mitu" is called.
There is a caravan that specializes in selling jade and silk. It travels on this road all year round and often gets lost on the "Ma Lost Road". Once the caravan got lost as soon as it entered the "horse lost road". When people were extremely anxious, a lone goose suddenly fell not far away. A young man in the caravan quietly caught the wild goose. He was kind-hearted and held the goose in his arms, preparing to take it out of the "horse straying" and then let it go. After a while, I saw the wild goose crying to the young man with tears in his eyes: "Gulu gulu, give me some food. Gulu gulu, I will get lost." After hearing this, the young man suddenly realized that the wild geese fell behind because they were too hungry to fly. , he immediately brought his own dry food and water to let the geese eat to their full capacity. After the geese were full, they flew up into the sky and circled continuously, leading the caravan out of the "horse lost path" and successfully arrived at its destination, Xiaofangpan City. After a while, the caravan lost its way again on "Ma Lost Road", and the wild goose flew up again and shouted in the air: "Gulu Gulu, the caravan is lost. Gulu Gulu, the square plate is inlaid with jade." While shouting Flying, leading the caravan out of the way again. Only the young man who rescued the wild goose understood what the wild goose said, and told the boss of the group: "The wild goose asked us to put a piece of luminous dark green jade on the small square city. From now on, when the caravan has a goal, it will never go back again." You won't get lost." After hearing this, the boss made a mental calculation. A piece of luminous dark green jade was worth several thousand taels of silver. He really couldn't bear it, so he didn't agree.
Unexpectedly, the next time the caravan lost its way in "Malostou", and could not find water for several days, the camels were panting with thirst, everyone's mouth was dry, and they were so thirsty that they could not walk. , his life was in danger. At this moment, the wild goose flew up again and shouted in the sky: "The caravan is lost, the square plate is inlaid with jade, and the black jade will never lead the way." After hearing this, the young man hurriedly told the boss, who The boss panicked and asked the young man what he should do. The young man said, "Kneel down quickly and swear to the wild goose: 'I will definitely inlay jade, and I will never break my promise.'" The boss immediately followed the young man's instructions and knelt down to swear to the wild goose. After hearing this, the wild geese spun in the air for a moment, leading the caravan out of the "horse astray" again, and the caravan was saved. After arriving at Xiaofangpan City, the boss no longer dared to love money. He immediately picked out the largest and best piece of luminous dark green jade and set it on the top of the Guan Tower. Whenever night falls, this piece of jade emits a dazzling light. , it can be seen clearly from dozens of miles away. The passing caravans have a target and will never get lost again. From then on, Xiaofangpan City was renamed "Yumen Pass". In fact, Yumen Pass was built during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Because it was an important transportation route from my country to the Western Regions in ancient times, Khotan jade imported from the Western Regions entered the pass here, hence the name.
The famous Great Wall scholar Mr. Luo Zhewen wrote:
From the Spring and Autumn Period, through the Qin and Han Dynasties, to the Liao and Jin Dynasties, to the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, it lasted more than two thousand years. How many generals were Yuanrong and Xu? The officials took over the task and worked hard to build this great project. With perseverance, intelligence, and hard work, they left a monument and national treasure for China.
Crossing the mountains, crossing the grasslands, crossing the The vast sea passes through cliffs and stretches for more than 100,000 miles. You can see long dragons and battlements, majestic passes, pavilions and beacons. They are like pearls on a jade belt, embellished with beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers. They rise and fall, dance and circle, and the moon palace can be seen in the distance, adding to the magnificent wonders of the world. < /p>
There is no doubt that the Great Wall is a miracle in the architectural history of our country and even mankind. Our ancestors completed such a huge project with the most primitive and simple tools under extremely poor material conditions, showing their wisdom, strength and determination. However, to describe the Great Wall as a symbol of the unity of the Chinese nation and to praise its great role in Chinese history goes against historical facts.
From the Qin, Zhao, and Yan states during the Warring States Period to the Great Wall built in the late Ming Dynasty, it has always been a means for the Central Plains farming people to deal with the northern nomads. Not to mention how many corpses were buried along the Great Wall and how much property was consumed. In terms of its military role, how could the Great Wall achieve the original purpose of the Central Plains rulers? In fact, once the Central Plains dynasty lost its military strength, the Great Wall would become ineffective. After the death of Qin Shihuang, the Huns crossed the Great Wall and occupied the Hetao area. In the late Ming Dynasty, Qing troops entering and exiting the Great Wall felt as if they were entering uninhabited territory. There were few examples of actual armed confrontations along the Great Wall.
Although the Great Wall to some extent curbed the invasion and destruction of the southern nomads from the north, it also restricted the exchanges and integration between ethnic groups and fixed the boundaries of agriculture and animal husbandry. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty, which built the most Great Wall in history, the largest amount of projects, and the highest quality, was the most conservative and inactive dynasty in the northwest and north. With the final completion of the Great Wall, the power of the Ming Dynasty never went beyond Jiayuguan. On the contrary, a political power that can unify agricultural and pastoral peoples at the same time will not need and will never build the Great Wall.
By the Qing Dynasty, the inside and outside of the Great Wall were unified, and the remaining Great Wall initially served as a checkpoint between regions, but was later completely abandoned. This is an extremely important page in Chinese history.
The patriotism of people of the Qin Dynasty, Han Dynasty, and Ming Dynasty can naturally only be bounded by the Great Wall, because outside the Great Wall is no longer the country of wholeheartedness, but the territory of another political power or nation. But the patriotism of the people of the Tang and Qing Dynasties will never be restricted by the Great Wall, because their country is also outside the Great Wall. By the 1990s in China, the people of all ethnic groups inside and outside the Great Wall had long been integrated into an indivisible whole. How could we still use the narrow national stance of some Central Plains dynasties in history to understand the Great Wall? How can we use it to symbolize the Chinese nation?
It is self-evident whether building and defending the Great Wall has made a greater contribution to Chinese history, or whether unifying the north and south of the Great Wall has made a greater contribution to Chinese history. However, since the Han Dynasty, the Great Wall has been regarded as the boundary between "Heaven limits the Hu and Han people" (God used to separate the Hu and Han people), and "the world" is limited to the Great Wall; does the lingering charm of the Liufeng still exist in some modern Chinese people? Deep in your thoughts? This is worthy of our consideration.
