River legend of Taizi River

It is said that during the Warring States Period, the Qin Dynasty attacked the State of Yan, and the prince liked to protect Liaodong. Qin Jun pursued it fiercely. However, because Yan Taizi Dan commanded the army well, Qin lost a lot, so Qin came up with a plan. The prince of Yan wrote a happy letter on behalf of Wang Jia, saying: "Qin is particularly eager to chase Yan, so it is also because of Taizi Dan." Now that Wang Cheng has killed Dan Xian, the king of Qin will be freed, and the country is fortunate to have blood and food. " Then Li Xin chased Dan, and Dan hid in the water. The prince liked listening to him very much, so he sent someone to kill the prince Yu Yanshui and wanted to give Qin to him. The state of Qin was overjoyed when it learned that it had invaded again. In the last five years, the Qin dynasty killed Yan, and the prince was happy, so Yan died. Later generations changed Yanshui to Taizi River to commemorate the noble character of the prince who is not afraid of power and loves the country.

Taizi River Ruyuan Xirancai Mother River, called Yanshui in ancient times, has two sources. The North Taizi River originated from Hongshilazi Mountain in Xinke Manchu Autonomous County, and the South Taizi River originated from Caomaodingzi Mountain in Yuanxi Manchu Autonomous County. The north and south sources meet in Masizi Village, Nandian Town, Benxi Manchu Autonomous County, and flow through Xinke, Benxi, Liaoyang, Shihai, Yingkou, Panjin and other cities and counties, and then flow into the Bohai Sea via Daliao River.

With beautiful scenery and rich products, the banks of the Taizi River are one of the birthplaces of Chinese civilization. Our ancestors lived in this land 300 thousand years ago. As a loving mother, Taizihe nurtures the children of all ethnic groups on both sides of the strait with her sweet milk, and the people of Benxi have incomparable reverence and affectionate praise for the mother river.

The origin of Taizi River is a tragic historical legend.

During the Warring States Period, the warring states fought for years, and the law of the jungle prevailed, which led to the coexistence of Qi, Qin, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao and Wei. Among the Seven Heroes, after Shang Yang's political reform, Qin became the most powerful country among the seven. By the time of Qin Shihuang, it had the ambition to annex six countries.

Among the seven countries, Yan owns Hebei and most of the northeast. Because the two countries are adjacent to each other and have been at war for years, Yan was forced to give Taizi Dan to Zhao as a hostage. Later, the prince of Yan was afraid of Qin's eastward invasion, so he sent Taizi Dan to Qin as a hostage. Taizi Dan was still young when Zhao was taken hostage. Qin was born in Zhao, and became friends with Taizi Dan. At this time, the king of Qin has acceded to the throne and become the monarch of Qin, which is not what it used to be. As a hostage, Taizi Dan was humiliated by the king of Qin, no different from a courtier. Qin bullied the weak, Taizi Dan was humiliated and homesick. By chance, he fled back to Yan, so Yan offended Qin.

Taizi Dan deeply felt that Qin Huang had the heart of a tiger and a wolf, and he would die in the East. However, with the military strength of Yan, it is really difficult to compete with Qiang Qin. Although he plans to make friends with other countries, the country cannot take care of itself. Prince Taizi Dan didn't want to eat for this reason, and he was restless. He thought for a long time and decided to follow the example of the former king and recruit talents. In those days, Zou Yan and Xi Xin came from the east, which made Yan in full swing. Therefore, Taizi Dan spared no expense to recruit more than 20 strong men in order to do great things in the future.

Just then, Fan, the general of Qin, offended the king of Qin and fled to Yan. Prince Dan was overjoyed and took him out of the door. Yan's teacher, Juwu, met Taizi Dan and Li Xian and recruited heroes. He recommended Chu Shi Tian Guang to him, saying that Tian Guang was smart and brave and could make friends with him. Taizidan was very excited when he heard about it, so he found a teacher to introduce him. When Tian Guang learned that Taizi Dan was invited, he promised to visit.

On this day, Tian Guang came to Taizi Dan's house, and Taizi Dan personally came out to meet him and acted as a guide to let Tian Guang enter the inner court. After sitting down, Taizi Dan said, "Yan State and Qin State are in the same boat. I invited my husband here today to listen to his views on the current situation. " Tian Guang said, "Prince, you only heard that I was in my prime, but you didn't know that my spirit was dead. Although I can't help you complete the state affairs, fortunately, there is a knight Jing Ke who can do it. " Prince Taizi Dan asked, "Can Tian introduce me and Jing Ke?" Tian Guang promised, and then bent down to leave. When Taizi Dan sent Tian Guang out, he was still a little uneasy and warned him: [You are talking about national affairs, please don't reveal Mr. Abel Tamata! "Answer the field.

Tian Guang went to see Jing Ke and said, [You are all good friends, and the whole state of Yan knows it. Taizidan heard that I was in my prime, but I didn't know that I was incompetent, so I recommended you to Taizidan. Please don't refuse. "Seeing Jing Ke's answer, Tian Guang added:" People who have heard that the year is rising should not be suspicious when doing great things. But today, the prince warned me not to mention it. This is Taizi Dan's concern for me! Doing something suspicious should never be done by a chivalrous man. Please tell Taizi Dan at once that Tian Guang is dead! "In order to motivate Jing Ke, but also to show Taizi Dan his true intentions, Tian Guang drew his sword and committed suicide.

Jing Ke went to see Taizi Dan and told him that Tian Guang had committed suicide and repeated Tian Guang's words. Taizidan listened and regretted it very much. He bowed down to Jing Ke again and said tearfully, "I warned Mr. Tian because your master is going to achieve great things! Now Mr. Tian shows his mind with death. How can this be my original intention? "

Prince Taizi Dan thanked Jing Ke again and said, "Mr. Tian doesn't know my fault. I especially recommend that you help me sleep in winter. Don't abandon me, it is God's pity for Yan! Now the king of Qin has been greedy for a long time, and his desire to see can not be satisfied. He won't stop until he occupies the land of the world and calls on the whole country to call him Jun. Yan is weak and has insufficient troops. Even if the whole country is a soldier, it is difficult to resist the usurpation of Qin. Governors are all afraid of Qin, and dare not unite against Qin again. Privately, I think it would be a great thing to recruit all the warriors in the world to the state of Qin. The king of Qin is greedy for profits. If he can really hijack the king of Qin, order him to return all the territories he occupies in various countries. If not, put him in Shan Hao. At that time, the general of Qin will be away, and all countries in China will unite in winter, which will inevitably destroy Qin. This is my greatest wish, but I wonder if the students are willing to take up this position? " Jing Ke said modestly, "This is a national event. I'm afraid I can't afford the heavy responsibility of anti-plagiarism! " Prince Taizi Dan repeatedly urged, and Jing Ke agreed. Therefore, Prince Taizi Dan introduced Jing Ke to his father, worshipped Jing Ke as Shangqing, let him live in the best house, gave Jing Ke the best hospitality and delicious food, and chose the most beautiful woman in Yan State to serve him. Not only that, Taizi Dan also went to Jing Ke's residence to pay his respects every day, for fear that Jing Ke would not be satisfied.

At this time, Qin sent troops to capture the capital of Zhao, destroyed Zhao and invaded the south of Yan. Taizi Dan panicked and hurried to see Jing Ke, saying, "Qin Jun is going to cross Yishui to attack Yan. What can I do? " Jing Ke said, "Although I am willing to go to the State of Qin to do this great thing, I can't win the trust of the King of Qin. Now it's just that the king of Qin wants to buy General Fan's head with a thousand pounds of gold and thousands of families. If he can get General Fan's head and a map of Yan State for the King of Qin, the King of Qin will surely greet me with excitement, and I will take the opportunity to do it again. It will succeed! " Prince Taizi Dan said: "General Fan went to Yan State because he was at the end of the road. How can I be selfish and hurt other people's expectations? Please consider other ways! "

Knowing that Prince Taizi Dan would not insist on Fan's head, Jing Ke went to see Fan himself and said to him, "The King of Qin hates you like the sea, and your whole family was killed. Now I heard that the king of Qin paid several thousand kilograms of gold, and thousands of families bought your head. What do you do? " Fan Yuqi sighed and said with tears: "Every time I think about it, it hurts my bones, but I really can't think of those good ways!" Jing Ke took the opportunity to say, "Now I have a word, which can not only relieve Yan's suffering, but also repay the general's revenge. What do you think? " Fan tunnel: "Is there any good way?" Jing Ke said, "Please dedicate the head of General Fan to the King of Qin, who will be very happy to meet me. Then I will grab his arm with my left hand and stab him in the chest with my right hand with a dagger to avenge you and get rid of the foreign invasion of Yan. Does General Fan dare to do this? " After listening to this, Fan said, "This is exactly what I dream of. What can't I do? " So he drew his sword and committed suicide. When Taizi Dan heard this, he ran to Van Yuqi's body and began to cry.

So Fan's head was sealed in a box, and Taizi Dan spent a lot of money to buy the dagger made by Mrs. Zhao. This dagger is cold and sharp, cutting iron like mud. Qin Wuyang, a warrior of Yan State, served as Jing Ke's assistant. Everything is ready, Jing Ke officially bid farewell to Taizi Dan. Prince Taizi Dan and the people related to this matter in the guest house were all dressed in white clothes and blood crowns and sent to the Yishui shore. Gao Jianli, a famous musician, accompanied and Jing Ke sang along, and everyone cried. Jing Ke went forward and sang: "The wind is rustling and the water is cold, and the strong man is gone forever!" The song is generous and sad, enduring. After Song Dynasty, Jing Ke said goodbye to Taizi Dan, then boarded the bus and headed west, never looking back. Prince Taizi Dan watched Jing Ke and his party drift away.

The King of Qin was overjoyed when he heard that the envoy of the State of Yan had come to present the head of the model and the map of the State of Yan. He met Jing Ke in Xianyang Palace. Jing Ke went to see the king of Qin in the temple and gave his head and map to Fan. When the king of Qin opened the map, he showed his dagger. At this time, Jing Ke grabbed the sleeve of the king of Qin with his left hand and stabbed the king of Qin with his right hand. The king of Qin was frightened and got up immediately. It took a lot of effort to get rid of it, but his sleeve had been cut by Jing Ke. The king of Qin hurriedly drew his sword, but why didn't the scholar come out because the blade was too long? Jing Ke came after the king of Qin, but he couldn't draw his sword, so he had to walk around the temple, which was very embarrassing. The lower governors were frightened to disgrace, because Qin law did not dare to bring a sword to the temple. Just then, someone was anxious and shouted, "Your Majesty, please draw your sword from the resistance!" " The king of Qin drew his sword and cut Jing Ke's thigh with it. Jing Ke was seriously injured and tried to throw the dagger at the king of Qin. The king of Qin escaped and plunged into the temple pillar. The king of Qin stepped forward and cut several swords. Jing Ke leaned against the temple pillar, reprimanded the king of Qin, and died with a smile.

Prince Taizi Dan pinned Yan's whole fate and personal life on Jing Ke, and the tragic scene of Xiao's farewell was still rising. He prayed every day, silently wishing Jing Ke all the best, saving the people of Yan from suffering and the whole world from war.

A month later, Taizi Dan was shocked to learn that Jing Ke had been assassinated. He said, "Heaven can't destroy Qin, and Heaven can't help Yan!" How many sleepless nights have I spent planning this! Jing Ke stabbed Qin, and all my efforts were in vain! "Taizi Dan want to cry, because he is powerless. He knew that the king of Qin would soon be besieged by an army, and the disaster of Yan was coming.

The king of Qin was furious when he learned that the assassination was done by Prince Taizi Dan. He immediately ordered General Wang Jianwei to take 500,000 soldiers to cut down the state of Yan, determined to win the head of Prince Taizi Dan. After attacking Jizhou, the capital of Yan State, Taizi Dan led the elite resistance of Yan State, but was outnumbered and defeated, so he had to surrender to Liaodong, and Yan State also moved its capital to Dongxiang. Wang Jian sent a valiant soldier, Li Xin, to lead the pursuit. In order to avoid flies, Taizi Dan hid in the banks of the Yanshui River and gathered strength to attack the State of Qin. At this time, someone offered a plan to Rebecca, saying, "The reason why Qin Bing attacked the State of Yan was because of the rumor that Prince Taizi Dan plotted to assassinate him. Now, if the head of Prince Taizi Dan is dedicated to the generals of Qin State, Qin Bing will not perish Yan State. " The prince likes to be incompetent. In the face of strong anger, he was anxious and afraid. He trusted other people's tricks and sent someone to the bank of Yanshui to announce Taizi Dan.

When Taizi Dan saw that the mountains and rivers were broken, his father was in danger. It is worthwhile to exchange your own death for Yan's anger. So he made three obeisances to Pingyao, the capital, and then drew his sword and committed suicide. The messenger of Yan sent the head of Taizi Dan to the general of Qin, Wang Jianjun, and Qin still attacked Yan. Finally, Yan also became a prisoner of Qin Jun.

In order to defend the country and resist the Qin dynasty, Yan Taizidan performed tragic historical events such as Yi Shui's farewell, the assassination of Xianyang and Yan Shui's self-pity. Later generations felt his patriotic feelings and tragic actions, so they renamed Yanshui, where he lived in hiding, as Taizihe, in memory of this patriotic Yan Taizi Dan.
