I know a lot about Han Yu, so let's talk about Han Yu here.
In the 14th year of Yuanhe, Han Yu was banished to Chaozhou for "remonstrating Buddha's bones". When he was an official in Chaozhou, he left many anecdotes and did many practical things for the people.
In ancient Chaozhou Hanjiang, the platoon leader had to carry Chinese fir and tie Chinese fir platoon. They jumped into the river for a while and climbed ashore for a while. Their clothes are wet and dry, and they often have abdominal pain and rheumatism.
So they just work with bare arms and no clothes. Women who carry water and wash clothes by the river every day report to the government when they see the platoon leader naked. After the government negotiated, the platoon leader had to put on his clothes.
Han Yu came to Chaozhou. After hearing about it, he went to the river to check on the platoon leader. Han Yu thinks that it is easy for platoon workers to get sick when they wear wet clothes all day. After returning to my office, he sent someone to the river to inform the platoon leader that he could tie the platoon leader and elbow without clothes in the future, just tie a piece of cloth around his waist to hide his shame. Later, this kind of cloth became a bathing cloth worn by workers and farmers in Chaozhou, and Chaozhou people called it "water cloth".
It is said that chaozhou people, mindful of Han Yu's kindness, renamed Bijia Mountain Hanshan and Crocodile Creek at the foot of the mountain Hanjiang.
When crocodile Han Yu was demoted to Chaozhou as a secretariat, there was a river in Chaozhou at that time, and there were many crocodiles eating people in the river, which became a local disaster and many people crossing the river were eaten by them. One day, another citizen was killed.
Han Yu is worried that if crocodiles are not removed, there will be endless troubles. So Han Yu ordered the preparation of sacrifices and decided to set up an altar by the river to sacrifice crocodiles. After arranging the sacrifice, Han Yu shouted at the river: "Crocodile! Crocodile! Han came here as an official to benefit the people. You are here to make waves, and now you are allowed to take your kin out to sea in three days, which can be extended to five or even seven days. It is absolutely strict not to leave for seven days. "
Since then, no crocodiles have eaten people in Chaozhou. People call the place where Han Yu worships crocodiles "Hanpu", the ferry is called "Handu", the big river is called "Han River" and the mountain opposite the river is called "Hanshan Mountain".
The expulsion of crocodiles is so bizarre that it may not be credible. However, in the tide of more than seven months, Han Yu brought the advanced culture of the Central Plains to Lingnan, organized education and drove away crocodiles, and did many good things for the people. Being regarded as a god by hipsters, Bijia Mountain was renamed Hanshan Mountain, and Crocodile Creek at the foot of the mountain was renamed Hanjiang River. It is true that Han Yu cares about the people and cares about their sufferings. Now there is the Han Wengong Temple in Chaozhou, Guangdong.
