Whether Yang Si is from Duwei, Fujian, it is unlikely that he is. 4. According to the legend of Meijia Village, Danhu Township, Gaochun County, Jiangsu Province, Yang Si lived in seclusion in a place where Sishui River enters Hongze Lake, and he once got rid of evil dragons here. Yang Si "lived in seclusion" here, which shows that it is unlikely that this is Yang Si's birthplace. 5. Yang Si’s temple in Danshuikeng Scenic Area, Dabi Village, Gaogang Town, Guangdong said: Yang Si is from Changsha, Hunan. There are several Yang Si temples in and around Changsha City, Hunan Province. They all say that Yang Si is from Ansha Town, Changsha. Word of mouth and legend are: a river originates from Tianhua Mountain, and there is a mountain at the confluence of Fenglin Port and Jinjing River. Yang Si lived on the mountain before he debuted. Later, he became famous for "getting rid of the evil dragon in the water". Therefore, Yang Si is most likely to be from Changsha. 3. The life experience of General Yang Si 1. Traces before entering Sichuan In the fourth year of Hongwu (1371), Zhu Yuanzhang Pingming Yuzhen ruled Sichuan. He called the "Guanzhuang" of the original Daxia regime and divided the people in the Guanzhuang into "military villages". There are three categories: "tun", "min't" and self-cultivated people. "Yings with a certain surname" in the nature of military tuns such as Moujiaying, Jianjiaying and Chenjiaying in Sichuan began to appear during this period. Most of these "battalions with a certain surname" were subjects of the former Daxia regime, and a few were soldiers who were left by Zhu Yuanzhang's direct descendants to lead the garrison administration. Such as Liao Gui from Liaotun, Mingshan County. So what kind of nature does Yang Si of "Yang Siying" belong to? Yang Si of Yang Si Camp was one of the subjects of the Daxia regime. One of the most striking characteristics of the subjects of Ming Yuzhen's Daxia regime is that the vast majority of them were either originally from Xiaogan Township, Macheng, Hubei Province, or moved to Sichuan via Xiaogan Township, Macheng, Hubei Province. Yang Si moved to Sichuan via Xiaogan Township in Macheng. Today, all of Macheng City and the eastern part of Hong'an City belonged to Macheng County at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. The northern part of Macheng County belongs to the Dabie Mountains. In the mountains, there were many mountain villages built in ancient times, and many of them were "villages with a certain surname". According to the research of relevant experts, most of the fortresses are "military fortresses" built in the late Yuan Dynasty. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, this was the northern outpost of the Red Turban Rebel Army against the Yuan Dynasty. It was normal to build many military forts. Among them, there is a military village in Xiaozhai Village, Chengmagang Town, Macheng City today. This military village is called "Yang Sizhai". Coincidentally, there is a "Huangyang Camp" in Baizhang, Wangcang County, Sichuan, and in the northeast of today's Hong'an City, there is a "Huangyang Village" on Jiuyan Mountain in the Tiantai Mountain Scenic Area (formerly part of Macheng County). It can be said that Yang Si participated in the Red Turban Uprising, served as a leader of troops, and led troops to station in the northern part of Macheng County. It is not difficult for us to find traces of Yang Si’s activities before entering Sichuan. Zou Pusheng, the leader of the Red Scarf Army, once handed over tens of thousands of rebels recruited from Macheng to Ming Yuzhen. Presumably Yang Si returned to Ming Yuzhen at this time. Ming Yuzhen was immediately sent to Mianyang (today's Xiantao area in Hubei Province) to guard. This was the water network area between the Han River and the Yangtze River, which was a good place to take advantage of Ming Yuzhen and Yang Si's expertise in water fighting. Judging from the distribution of Yang Si temples in various places, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, Han River, Xiang River, Gan River and lake water network areas should be the places where Yang Si or his tribe had been active at that time. In the 17th year of Yuan Zhizheng (1357), Ming Yuzhen was ordered to go to Sichuan to collect grain, and then invaded Sichuan. Yang Si should lead the army into Sichuan at the same time. 2. Traces after entering Sichuan (including Chongqing City) 1) There is also a Yang Si temple near Shuanghe Village, Beiping Township, Chengkou County, Chongqing. Not only does this temple exist, but there is also "Yang Si Rock", and on the rock there is the "Yang Si Plank Road" dug by Yang Si ". This plank road is not on the traditional Guanma Avenue, but directly connected to the ancient road in Yangsiyan, Langao, Shaanxi, which is also located on the same mountain. Yang Si's "excavation" of this plank road in a remote mountainous area should be related to the battle against Li Xixi's Qingjin Army when Ming Yuzhen first entered Sichuan. 2) There is a "Yangsi Village" in Huangjing, Gulin County, Luzhou. The village has a "Yang Temple", a "Yang Siyan" and a "Yang Sizhai". The "four", "si", "si" and "si" should be corruptions of the word "Si". In other words, "Yang Sizhai" is "Yang Sizhai". The Huangjing area is mountainous. When Yang Si first arrived here with his troops, he naturally called his military camp "Yang Si Village". 3) In Xiushan Village, Yuxiu Township, Xingwen County, Yibin, southern Sichuan, there is a stone inscription "High mountains and long rivers", which is said to have been written by General Yang Si himself. Many local Miao people say that their ancestors moved here with the army from Xiaogan Township, Macheng. General Yang Si led his troops to move around Lu and Yi, which should coincide with the period when Ming Yuzhen entered Sichuan and planned to attack the Yuan soldiers in Yun and Gui."Xiaoxi" also means "little wife", and "Yangxi" means "Yang (Si) wife". This is also the only statement about Yang Si's burial place so far. However, no Yang Si tomb was found on site. There is a plaque at "Yangsi Temple" in Sanguan Village, which reads "Old Yangsi Temple". The existence of this plaque shows that Yangsi Temple here has an unusual history. 5. Basic viewpoint General Yang Si once followed Ming Yuzhen and fought in various areas of the Yangtze River Basin. He was good at water warfare and water conservancy projects. Later, he was incorporated by the Ming government and resettled as a farming village. He made a lot of contributions during this period, but he was reused but not promoted. His position was always a mid-level officer. The military traces of General Yang Si are not included in the official history, and most of the temples he worshiped are just "one gate, one hall, and one side room", but he still enjoys the incense of the people for hundreds of years.
