Is Yang Jiajiang in Jinghai?

during the northern song dynasty, the confrontation between song dynasty and Liao dynasty was formed in the north of China. today, the Daqing river and Haihe river have become the "boundary river" between the two countries. In order to resist the Liao soldiers, Yang Yanzhao (named Jing, called Yang Liulang) was appointed as the border patrol ambassador in the Northern Song Dynasty, and he was stationed in Gaoyang Pass in Gaoyang County, Hebei Province, not far from Tianjin today. Today, the Jinghai area in Tianjin is the frontier of anti-Liao at that time.

Wang Jingmo, an expert in the history of Jinghai County, has collected, sorted out and studied for many years and found that there are a lot of legends about Yang Jiajiang around Jinghai in Tianjin, and many place names of Jinghai, Wuqing, Baodi, Ninghe and Jixian are all related to the story of Yang Jiajiang. After textual research, he also came to the conclusion that Jinghai is the ancient battlefield of Yang Jiajiang and the place where Yang Liulang lived and fought. The remains of Yang Jiajiang in the Jinghai

According to historical records, Yang Liulang once led troops to station in the big depression between Jinghai South Canal and Ziya River. At that time, Liao was going to cross the Haihe River and the Yellow River in winter and go straight to Song-Jing Bianliang (now Kaifeng, Henan). In 13, Yang Liulang was ordered to lead an army into Dawa, and arranged the army into 72 camps according to the Eight Diagrams formation. After the defeat, the Liao army diverted to the south, and finally signed the "alliance of the Yuan Dynasty" with the Northern Song Dynasty.

The story about Yang Jiajiang has been passed down from mouth to mouth in Jinghai, and it has never failed. Accompanied by Wang Jingmo, the reporter visited the legendary relics related to "Yang Jiajiang" in the border area between Jinghai and Hebei. The great depression where Yang Liulang was stationed was called Gucheng depression by Jinghai people. Legend has it that the whole depression is the camp of Yang Yanzhao Army, and its Yuanmen is located in the north of Guchengwa. Later, the village was built here and named "Yuanmenkou", which was changed to Yuanmengkou in the Yuan Dynasty.

In order to collect the intelligence of Liao army, Yang Yanzhao set up two detective agencies: one was located 1 km north of Yuanmen, and later the village was named Tanmazhuang, which was renamed Tan Zhuangzi in modern times; Another detective agency is composed of monks, who are said to be disciples of Yang Wulang. Yang Yanzhao built a temple for them in the west of Yuanmen, so that they could spy on Liao's military situation as monks, so it was called "Zen Room". The Zen House has now developed into three villages: East Zen House, Dang Zen House and West Zen House. So far, the villagers still have the mantra of "Five Bridges and Double Temple Zen House". Legend has it that the Zen room was surrounded by water in those days, and Yang Yanzhao built three bridges within five miles for the convenience of monks.

from Zen house village to the west, there are Wang erzhuang and Zongbao village. Wang Erzhuang is the seat of today's Ziya town government, formerly known as "Wangerzhuang", and it is said that She Taijun watched his son Yang Yanzhao and the Liao army fight. Zongbao Village is the garrison of Yang Zongbao, the son of Yang Yanzhao. Interestingly, this figure, once referred to as a myth by historians, has been confirmed by the "Song Dynasty Yang Linggong Lingling Monument" unearthed in Xin 'an County, Henan Province in recent years. Surprisingly, Yang Zongbao is a woman.

not far from the northwest of zongbao village, there are donggaozhuang village and xigaozhuang village. The terrain here is relatively high, which is said to be the place where Wang Huai, a broadsword woman, finds her husband and scolds Yang Yanzhao for being ungrateful. Up to now, Ziya Town still has a folk song "Standing in Gaozhuang and scolding Liulang, asking if you love slaves or not". There are two villages in Dacheng County, Hebei Province, near Gaozhuang, called Ma (Scold) Liulang and Ainu, which are said to be related to the stories told by folk songs.

According to Wang Jingmo, there are many place names and legends related to "Yang Jiajiang" in Jinghai. For example, Meng Zhuangzi Village in Liangtou Township is the garrison of Meng Liang, and Jiaozhuangzi Village in Ziya Town is the garrison of Jiao Zan, which forms a corner with Shuaifu Yuanmen in Yang Yanzhao. Yangjiayuan Village in Shuangtang Town is the residence of Yang's family. Yangjiayuan northeast original big dunghill village, for Song Jun horse farm, now known as Dafengdui, west of the village there are eight tiger depressions, for the eight brothers in Yang Yanzhao and the Liao army.

According to preliminary statistics, there are about 3 place names related to Yang Jiajiang in Jinghai area today. Jinghai discovered the ancient city depression in Song Dynasty. Guchengwa is 1 km northwest of Diaotai Village, Chenguantun Township, Jinghai County. Archaeologists in this city once found a site of the ancient brick city of Warring States.

It is also said that Yang Yanzhao led soldiers to build a earthen city to resist Liao, which researchers once thought was a bit far-fetched. However, according to the old "Jinghai County Records": "There is an ancient city in the northwest of Diaotai Village. The city walls have been abandoned for a long time, and the city site is hidden or now, so it can be found everywhere. It is said that it is Song Yangjing's station." According to the old people in the village, before liberation, there were remnants of the wall of Tucheng, but when the land was leveled on a large scale in the 195s, it was all transformed into farmland, and now it is empty and the trace cannot be traced. In recent years, many Song Dynasty arrows and other weapons have been found near the ancient city site, so there is no doubt that the Northern Song Dynasty built a city here to resist the Liao army.

In addition, in the east of Mengkou village in Yuan Dynasty, there was an earthen platform with a height of more than ten feet and a width of several tens of feet, which was flattened after liberation. Legend has it that it was Mu Guiying's commanding platform. Mu Guiying is not recorded in the history books, but the wife of Yang Wenguang, the son of Yang Yanzhao, has a compound surname of "Murong" and is good at fighting. Mr. Wang Jingmo believes that Mu Guiying in folklore is probably the embodiment of Murong. The "Tomb of Pan Yang" in Ninghe

Ninghe County is another area where the legend of Yang's generals in this city is concentrated. There is a mound about 2 meters high in the west of Xitangtuo Village, Panzhuang Town, the county, with overgrown trees and weeds. The mound covers an area of about 8 square meters and the underground is a stone structure. A small river flows quietly by the mound, which makes people feel a sad atmosphere-this is the legendary tomb of Yang Qilang.
