Legend of Shanxi: Zhao's orphan

In the history of Shanxi, the Zhao family is an important family. In Jin Linggong, Tu'an Gu, a military attache, was at odds with Zhao Dun, a civil servant, and framed Zhao Dun, accusing Zhao Dun of being a traitor in front of Gong Ling. More than 300 people in Zhao Dun's family were cut down, and only his son Zhao Shuo and the princess survived. Later, Tu'an Gu ordered Zhao Shuo to commit suicide from Gong Ling. The princess was imprisoned in the mansion, gave birth to a son, entrusted to Cheng Ying, a guest of the Zhao family, and hanged herself. Putting the baby in the medicine box, Han Jue, who was in charge of guarding, sympathized with Zhao's family and committed suicide after letting Zhao's orphans go. Cheng Ying took the baby to Gongsun Chujiu, an old friend of Zhao Dun. At this time, Tu'an Gu, eager to pull weeds, ordered the killing of all babies under half a year and over a month from Gong Ling. After consulting with Gongsun, he decided to save Zhao's blood with his own son. Later, Cheng Ying reported to Tu'an Gu that Gongsun Chujiu had hidden the orphan of Zhao. Tu'an Gu believed it, sent someone to find the baby, threw it on the ground and stabbed several swords. When Cheng Ying saw his parents' tragic death, he said nothing reluctantly. Gongsun Chujiu cursed Tu'an Gu, touched the steps and died. Tu'an Gu was very worried, so he took Cheng Ying as his guest and his son Cheng Bo (actually an orphan of Scott) as his adopted son, and named him Tu Cheng.

Twenty years later, when the orphan Zhao grew up, he told the truth. Zhao's orphan was filled with indignation and determined to avenge himself. At this time, he is dead and Aigong is in office. Cheng Bo told Tu'an Gu that he was overbearing and hurt Zhongliang. Aigong ordered him to catch him and put him to death. The Zhao family took revenge, and the orphan Zhao Fu took his surname and gave it a name. From the beginning, the revived Zhao family once again became the Fengyun family of the State of Jin, and eventually became a great force for the three ethnic groups to divide Jin. So far, in Xiangfen County, Shanxi Province, there is another one named? Sangong village? This village. It is said that these three people with lofty ideals discussed the protection of Zhao's orphans. The old friend is far away, and the cloud of loyalty is still drifting away.

Shanxi Legend: Dongan Bloodshed Jinyang City

Taiyuan is a city with a history of 2500 years, but many people don't know that the history of Taiyuan today is only 1500 years. Then, what about 1000 of the previous year? The answer is: Jinyang Ancient City. Jinyang City was the wealth capital of Zhao during the Warring States Period. However, it was a man named Dong Anyu who built this ancient city. Dong Anyu's name is not big, but he is famous when he mentions his predecessor Dong Hu. When Zhao arrived, Dong Hu, a descendant of Dong Jia, was his right-hand man. At that time, the weak state of Jin was ruled by Liu Qing, and the monarch became more and more like a decoration. Long-sighted Dong An knew that sooner or later he would split up, so he suggested making Zhao Guihua a base area as soon as possible. After several investigations, the Zhao family's base area was chosen between Longshan and Fenhe River in Taiyuan. Of course, the important task of building Jinyang City also falls on Dong Anyu.

So far, we all have to admire Dong Anyu's foresight. Dong Anyu built Jinyang City, with thick rammed earth as the wall, thick copper columns to support the palace, and mountain wood as the wooden skeleton of the fence. Later, when Zhao was forced to retreat from Jinyang City by Zhi Bo and other three clans, Zhao's descendants relied on solid city walls and weapons made of copper pillars to avoid genocide.

At first, when Zhao Jianzi led an army to attack Wei, he captured 500 slaves of Wei. At that time, Zhao Jianzi put these slaves in relatives' homes in Handan. Now, after the completion of Jinyang City, Zhao Jianzi began to emigrate. So I asked my relatives for these slaves. Unexpectedly, relatives turned against each other, refused to admit it, and wooed Liu Qing's relatives to jointly besiege Zhao Jianzi in Jinyang City. At a critical juncture, Zhao Jianzi, who was afraid of losing the reputation of traitor and villain, was a little timid, but Dong Anyu stepped forward. After a big battle, the riot was finally put down. But it still gives Zhao Jianzi's political opponents a handle. After Handan, Fan and Bank of China were punished, political opponents demanded that Dong Anyu be handed over on the grounds that Dong Anyu was also the chief culprit of the riots. At that time, the influence of the Zhao family belonged to the middle reaches of the Six Departments of the Qing Dynasty. Once the political enemies join hands, the Zhao family is in danger. However, Dong Anyu was also an active minister of the Zhao family, and Zhao Jianzi refused to hand him over to his political opponents. Just as he was in a dilemma, Dong Anyu took another step forward. He said: My life is nothing. If my death can keep the Zhao family away from disaster and the country from turmoil, I will die a fair death. Say that finish, Dong An committed suicide. In grief, Zhao Jianzi left Dong Anyu's body in the street. When his political opponents heard the news, they gave up the idea of attacking the Zhao family.

Whether it is to build Jinyang City or to quell the disaster with death. Dong Anyu bought the future glory of Zhao's family with his own tragic. Nowadays, both Jinyang City and Zhao, the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, have been reduced to ashes in the chaotic history. But Dong Anyu's name is still alive after 2500 years.

Legend of Shanxi: mesons push Mianshan to burn.

There is a famous mountain in Shanxi called Mianshan. Because of meson push, Mianshan has a soul.

Things have to start from Jin Wengong and Zhong Er. Now, there is a conflict in the court of the State of Jin. The son of the State of Jin fled to defend his country, but Wei did not dare to take him in, so he fled to the State of Qi. There was no food to eat on the way, so he had to eat wild vegetables to satisfy his hunger. Zhong Er grew up in the palace and could not eat wild vegetables. One of the waiters is called meson push. He cut a piece of meat from his thigh and made soup for Zhong Er, saying it was sparrow soup. Zhong Er even called it delicious after drinking it. Later, when he was on the road, Zhong Er found that the meson was limping. Only after questioning did he understand the truth. Zhong Er was deeply moved and promised to reward meson push after returning home. With the help of Qin, Zhong Er finally became the monarch of Jin after a long absence of 19 years. However, Zhong Er, who won the world, forgot his original oath during his exile. In his reward, only mesons were omitted. Seeing other people's promotion, the stimulated meson tui chose to retire silently, but this retirement is his farewell to Zhong Er.

After meson pushed his mother to live in seclusion in Mianshan, under the reminder of others, Jin Wengong Zhong Er finally remembered this loyal minister who drifted with him. However, in the face of his call, Jiezitui refused to go out of Mianshan all the time. The feeling be nasty under, Jin Wengong unexpectedly adopted the idea of burning mountains on three sides to force meson to push out, and the raging fire burned for seven days and seven nights, but meson and his mother were not seen. After the fire was put out, it was found that meson tui and his mother had already been burned to death under a big tree. A generation of loyal ministers and dutiful sons turned to dust in an instant.

In order to express this regret, Jin Wengong ordered that, from now on, the memorial day will be pushed by mesons, and no cooking will be allowed in the whole country. The Cold Food Festival, as known by later generations, comes from history with a hint of bitterness.
