Legends about the Great Wall

During the Qin Dynasty, there was a kind and beautiful woman named Meng Jiangnu. One day, she was doing housework in her yard, when she suddenly found a person hiding under the grape trellis, which startled her, and she was about to shout, but the man waved his hand again and again, pleading: "Don't shout, don't shout, help me!"

My name is Fan Xiliang, and I'm here to flee. "It turns out that at this time, Qin Shi Huang was arresting people everywhere to work as laborers in order to build the Great Wall, and many people had starved to death and died of exhaustion! Meng Jiangnu rescued Fan Xiliang, and when she saw that he was knowledgeable and reasonable, her eyebrows were clear, she fell in love with him, and Fan Xiliang also fell in love with Meng Jiangnu.

The two of them were heart-to-heart, and after obtaining the consent of their parents, they were ready to get married.

On the day of marriage, the Meng family was full of lights, and the guests were full, and there was a joyful scene. Seeing that it was getting dark, and the people who drank the wine were gradually dispersed, the bride and groom were about to enter the cave room, when suddenly they only heard the chickens and dogs barking, and then a team of vicious officers and soldiers broke in. The good happy event turned into an empty one, and Meng Jiangnu was full of grief and anger, thinking about her husband day and night.

She thought: Instead of sitting at home and worrying, I should go to the Great Wall to find him myself. Right!

That's it! Meng Jiangnu immediately packed up and hit the road.

Along the way, I don't know how many winds, frosts, rains and snows, how many dangerous mountains and rivers I have trekked through, Meng Jiangnu has not shouted bitterness, has not shed a single tear, and finally, with tenacious perseverance, with deep love for her husband, she arrived at the Great Wall. At this time, the Great Wall was already a very long city wall composed of construction sites, and Meng Jiangnu came to find it from construction site to site, but her husband was never seen. Finally, she plucked up the courage to ask a team of migrant workers who were about to go to work:

Do you have a Fan Xiliang here? The migrant worker said, "There is such a person, a new man."

When Meng Jiangnu heard this, she was so happy! She hurriedly asked again, "Where is he?"

The migrant worker said: "It's dead, and the corpse capital has filled the foot of the city!" ”

Suddenly hearing this bad news, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Meng Jiangnu only felt that her eyes were dark, she was sad for a while, and she cried. I cried for three days and three nights, crying so dark that even the heavens and the earth were moved. The sky was getting more and more gloomy, the wind was getting more and more violent, only to hear a "bang", a section of the Great Wall was cried down, revealing Fan Xiliang's corpse, and Meng Jiangnu's tears fell on his bloody face.

She finally met her beloved husband, but he never saw her again, because he had been killed by the brutal Qin Shi Huang.

The story and legend of the Great Wall - Wangjing Tower.

At that time, Qi Jiguang served as the chief military officer of Jizhen Town, and with the support of Tan Lun, he personally planned and supervised the construction of the Jinshanling Great Wall (located in Luanping County, Hebei Province).

This section of the Great Wall has a unique structure, and the walls are made of bricks and stones as a foundation. At the eastern end of the Jinshanling Great Wall, on the Tiger Mountain, which is high into the clouds, there is a Wangjing Tower, which is located on the top of a 1,000-meter-high mountain, and the two sides of the building are cliffs, and people can only climb up from the cracks in the stones. It is said that many people were killed and injured in order to transport the stones, but the stones could not be transported.

This incident moved the Jade Emperor, and he immediately sent his nephew Erlang God to transport the stone. That night, Erlang God came to the foot of Tiger Mountain, and saw piles of stones piled up there, so he immediately shook his divine knife and immediately turned it into a mountain whip. He whipped the stone with his whip and shouted at the same time"change", the pieces of stones, immediately turned into big goats, straight to the top of the mountain.

When he reached the top of the mountain, he counted, no more, no less, just enough. At this time, a soldier's tent was relieved, and he suddenly saw Erlang God driving sheep, and ran back with a scream. When Erlang God heard someone shouting, he was also taken aback, and kicked dozens of stones down the mountain and landed in the mountain col to the east.

Erlang God then ascended to the sky.

In this way, dozens of stones are missing from the Wangjing Tower. When you climb the Wangjing Tower, you will see that five of the 12 floors of the foundation stone at the bottom of the building are made of broken stones. And those stones that were kicked down the mountain by Erlang God are still piled up in the col, and the locals call this col a stone col.

Legend has it that one year, Tang monks and apprentices were drying scriptures by the Great Wall.
