Legends and allusions in Mianyang

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Chen Youliang, the son of a fisherman in Mianyang, rose up and rebelled against the Yuan Dynasty. The peasant uprising army led by him has repeatedly defeated the Yuan army, and its military power has been greatly shaken, becoming a powerful armed force. Zhu Yuanzhang competed with him for the world. In Poyang Lake World War I, Chen Youliang died in the middle stream. Zhu Yuanzhang won the world, proclaimed Nanjing the emperor and founded the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang thought that Chen Youliang was from Mianyang and won the hearts of Mianyang people. He was afraid that Mianyang people would rise up against the Zhu Dynasty in the future. After he acceded to the throne, he ordered the killing of Mianyang people. It is said that only Guo, Jane, Tian, Wan and Fu escaped in a ditch at that time, and the rest all killed for their lives, resulting in a sparsely populated and desolate Mianyang Road.

In order to stabilize the country, Zhu Yuanzhang also ordered immigrants from densely populated Jiangxi to Mianyang. Jiangxi people are attached to their hometown and unwilling to settle in Mianyang. As a result, immigrants were forcibly expelled in the Ming Dynasty. In order to prevent immigrants from escaping halfway, the escort soldiers tied the hands of immigrants into a line with long ropes. If someone wants to be convenient on the way, the soldier will untie his hand and tie it up after it is convenient.

Later, people wanted to be convenient, so they called it "convenient for themselves". Until now. In ancient times, a tributary of the Han River flowed through Mianyang, named Canglang River. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when Qu Yuan, a doctor of the State of Chu, was exiled, he swam across the raging river and met a fisherman in Zhanggou. He was very sad. The fisherman sang a Song of Canglang, which inspired Qu Yuan to face the reality and spread it as a historical story.

This "Song of Canglang" was included in "Songs of the South". In the middle Tang Dynasty, Mianyang sages built Canglang Pavilion in Zhanggou to commemorate Qu Yuan, which is located in the north of Tongzhou River in Zhanggou Town, next to Zhanggou Theater. This used to be a place for religious activities. Chen Youliang once opened a martial arts school here, and Zhang Nanxian once taught here. During the Great Revolution, Deng Chizhong set up a civilian night school here. He Long was stationed here when he led the Red Army to attack Xiantao. In a word, Canglang Pavilion is a scenic spot with profound historical background (see Book of Southern Tang Dynasty). According to Milo's History of the Road in the Southern Song Dynasty, during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, Mian Bogao, a Yunnan toast, went to Beijing to appear before Emperor Taizong with a batch of gifts and a lovely white swan. Along the way, Mian Bogao took good care of the White Swan. Who knows that when he arrived at Yangyang Lake (today's Paihu Lake) in Hubei, Mian Bogao saw that the white swan was thirsty and was kind enough to let the white swan drink water by the lake. The white swan flapped its wings and came to the lake to drink and drink, but then spread its wings and flew away. Mian Bogao rushed up and only caught a goose feather. This worried him to death. Later, he had to bite the bullet and wrap this goose feather in brocade and write a poem before he went to see Emperor Taizong.

There is a poem that says, "Swan pays tribute to Tang Dynasty, the mountain is high and the road is far. Sheep Lake lost its treasure and fell to the ground crying. Go to the emperor of Tang Fu, please spare Mian Bogao. The ceremony is light and affectionate, and the goose feathers are sent thousands of miles. " After reading this poem, Emperor Taizong not only didn't blame Mian Bogao, but gladly accepted the gift and returned all the special products of the Central Plains, such as silk, tea and jade. Mian Bogao was deeply moved and knelt for a long time to thank him. Later, people used "a thousand miles to send goose feathers" to describe "courtesy is light and affection is heavy" hemp mother, an insect, whose scientific name is scarab. The scarab of Chu is similar in shape and size to a wild bee, hemp yellow and good at flying. Mianyang people call it "Mama Ma". In summer, when children catch it, they put a thin bamboo stick on their back and hold it in their hands. The insect kept flapping its wings and dancing because of pain until it died. This is a cruel game. In rural areas of Jingchu, children often make fun of it. After the reform and opening-up, people saw human tricycles with a canopy in the street, which looked like this insect, so it was naturally called "Mother Horse". Later, the tricycle modified from motorcycle was called "electric mom", or humorously called "mom taxi", or "mom" for short. On most occasions, people still call it "Ma Mu". He also called the alcoholic "the mother of wine and hemp", which means that the mother of wine and hemp fell into the jar.

According to legend, Zhuge Liang married Huang Chu, a famous woman from Huang Zhi, in Miancheng in the eighth year of Jian 'an (2003). After my marriage, I studied astronomy, geography, art of war and other books on the reading platform in Fu Huang Garden every day, which made me a talented person. The following spring, Zhuge Liang planted two cypress trees in front of the reading desk and returned to Longzhong with his beloved wife Huang Chunv. Soon, at the invitation of Liu Bei San Gu Mao Lu, he assisted the Han Dynasty and became the prime minister of Shu.

In the 12th year of Jianxing (234), in order to commemorate Zhuge Liang's achievements, Liu Chan named Zhuge Liang as the "loyal marquis of Wu" and ordered the establishment of the "Zhuge Wuhou Temple" in Miancheng reading platform for the four seasons. This temple still existed in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The original Wuhou Temple is 8 meters high, with five hidden halls in Sanming, carved columns with bright ridges and covered with red glazed tiles, which is quite spectacular. Therefore, it has become a scenic spot and many people come to visit it. Many literati left poems and couplets here. When Chen Youliang was a prison officer in Mianyang, Zhang Dingbian improvised two poems while browsing Zhuge Liang's reading desk:

( 1)

The characters in Wuhou Temple are ancient and modern, and the reading desk is thinking about Kong Ming;

Although talented women are ugly and virtuous, they have made great contributions to the three countries and inspired future generations.

(2)

Liu Bei has no Sichuan and Shu, and Wuhou has a reading desk;

Throughout the ages, people with literature and martial arts are considered talents without literature and martial arts.

Gui Youguang, a scholar in Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty, wrote a four-line poem after visiting here:

Cooper was planted by Zhuge and survived for thousands of years.

He went down in history with great success and was praised by He Liang.

In a couplet written by Yang Huikang, a scholar in Qing Dynasty, he also praised the reading desk:

Reading platform, Tunjiashan, scenic spot in sight, Zhuge prestige beyond the earth;

Thousands of Buddhist temples, hundreds of temples, Sanskrit sounds correspond, and all the immortals sing together.

On the site of Zhuge Liang's reading platform, there is an inscription, 2 meters long and 1 meter wide, engraved with the image of Zhuge Liang. Although it has been eroded by wind and rain, the statue is still magnificent and the handwriting is still legible. Hu Sha Provincial Wetland Park was approved by the Provincial Forestry Bureau in August 2007. It is a typical inland lake wetland. After many investigations and demonstrations by experts, it is confirmed that there are 2 species of national first-class protected animals, more than 30 species of national second-class protected animals, more than 80 species of provincial protected animals and 9 species of national first-class and second-class protected plants in the park, which have typical wetland landscape and remarkable biodiversity characteristics. It is an ideal breeding ground for migratory birds in inland areas, especially the wild reed forest in the park can improve this area. The proposed Hu Sha Wetland Park has a total area of over 50,000 mu. Based on the principle of "ecological priority, scientific restoration, moderate development and rational utilization", the park will build golden waterways, bird-watching platforms, wooden bridge plank roads, aquatic restaurants, farm fishing, wetland exploration and other related attractions.

Hu Sha Provincial Wetland Park has good traffic conditions, including Yihuang Provincial Highway Xianhan Highway, Xianhan Provincial Highway and Dongjing Waterway into the Yangtze River, and the land and water transportation is very convenient.
