Longgang was named after Wolongsha Mountain in the north of Zhenyan 15, so long gang zhen was established. In 2 years of the Republic of China (A.D. 19 13), it was long gang zhen in 18, and it was changed to Longgang in 34 years of the Republic of China. In 35 years, Longgang District was established and later changed to urban area. In 36 years of the Republic of China, Longgang District was restored, 1957 points were Bin Yang and Longhai. Longgang People's Commune was founded in1958; 1983 was restructured into Longgang Township, and 1984 was changed to long gang zhen in April, and the system of replacing townships with towns and managing villages by villages was implemented. 200 1, Juan Town in Yandu District was merged into long gang zhen, and Juan Community in long gang zhen was established. 20 10 dingyan neighborhood Committee of Longgang town merged into yanlong sub-district office of yandu district.
Longgang, founded in Sui and Tang Dynasties, is a thousand-year-old town. Filial piety has always been an important connotation of Longgang's profound humanistic heritage. Walking in Longgang, stories of Xiaogan's virtues abound. In particular, the stories of Xiaozifang and Bai Yanzan are talked about by people.
In the Ming Dynasty, there was a student named Li near Anfu Bridge in Longgang, and his family was very poor. After his father, Li, fell ill and had no money to seek medical treatment, he reluctantly cut a piece of decoction for his father to drink. After his father died, he built a reed shed to guard the tomb. For three years, he lived together day and night, didn't take a hundred steps, didn't like eating, and didn't change clothes when sleeping. During this period, a water conservancy official's official ship went to the No.1 Confucian Temple in Longgang East for the night, and there were occasional voices of reading and crying in the fields behind the temple. The official made a statement to the emperor after field investigation and verification by local officials. In the eighth year of Chenghua (1472), Muxiaofang was built in the north of Anfu Bridge. After a long period of disrepair, the Muxiaofang was rebuilt three times in the ninth year of Xianfeng (1859), the third year of Tongzhi (1864) and the third year of Guangxu (1877), and the Muxiaofang was transformed into a brick three-door neighborhood. The two plaques "Imperial Decree" and "Xiaofang" were simple and elegant. Solemnly ordered the civilian to get off the sedan chair and the military attache to dismount. It was forcibly demolished during the Japanese occupation of Longgang. Fortunately, many Li people, regardless of their lives, picked up some stone carvings and transported them to Lijiadun for burial. The stone tablet of Xiaozifang (length1.55m, width 0.55m and thickness 0.1.05m) has been unearthed. After the establishment of Lee's archway, Anfu Bridge was renamed as Square Bridge. Now, Fangqiao is one of the neighborhood committees in long gang zhen.
The story of "Bai Yanzan" happened in which dynasty, and it is impossible to verify it. However, Song Cao, a famous calligrapher in Qing Dynasty, left us a plaque of "Bai Yanzan", which recorded the touching story of his filial son Chen Wang. At the beginning of the inscription, it says, "The Wangs of Gangmen made Bai Yan, but the salt people are different, and the name of the Wangs is sincere ..." It is said that there is a swallow's nest on the eaves of the Wangs of Longgang. The difference is that all the swallows in the Wangs are white. At that time, Yancheng people thought it was very strange. The mother and son of the Wangs live together. Later, after the death of the Queen Mother, her son Wang Chen cried day and night, and finally died of grief. Chen Wang's heartfelt filial piety actually made him feel sorry for Bai Yan, who hanged himself in the imperial court. Later generations specially built Bai Yanting to praise Wang Chen and Bai Yan. According to the records of cultural relics in Yancheng, the "White Yanting" monument was originally a white marble monument on the White Yanting in Longgang, with a horizontal width of 1.68 m, a height of 0.37 m, a thickness of 0.06 m, 24 lines of 6 characters and regular script of 106 characters. It is said that this stone tablet was originally placed in the dining hall of Longgang Middle School to put porridge buckets for students, because no one knows. After the stone tablet was discovered, the rubbings were given to Guo Moruo, and the inscriptions were collected in the city museum.
Filial piety is long, and virtue is a thousand years.
Nowadays, the kind Longgang people continue to inherit the simple style of filial piety and kindness, and carry forward the new fashion of "charity Longgang", "benevolence Longgang" and "harmony Longgang".
Legend of "Dragon Duntou" and "White Dangkou"
In the northwest of Longgang Town, Yandu District, a Millennium ancient town, there is a high pier named "Longduntou" in Xuzhuang Village, and a lake named "Baidangkou" in the adjacent Happiness Village. The two places are not far apart. The landform of high piers is like a lake swing, and the terrain is consistent. Speaking of which, there is an old legend in it.
According to legend, in the Han Dynasty, in the present Xuzhuang village, there was a small village with more than 20 families called Xumaozhuang. There is such a family of three in the village. Lay man Mao Xiucai, don't ask Wenda governors. The wife is gentle and virtuous, and the only son is smart and lively. Mao Xiucai works with his wife every day and teaches his son to recite poems and write correctly. This family is full of love, harmony and happiness.
Who knows, one summer day, the wind was blowing hard and the rain was pouring down. Unexpectedly, Xu Maozhuang's human and animal property was destroyed in a big mess. The most pitiful thing is Mao Xiucai, whose only son was swept away by the strong wind and his whereabouts are unknown.
Mao Xiucai and his wife are naturally heartbroken. His wife, Lacrimosa, traveled all day long, but Mao Xiucai decided that it must be the dragon, so he wrote a book, listed the crimes of the dragon one by one, and wrote a form paper, hoping to appeal to heaven.
When the neighbors learned about it, they all worried that if they angered the dragon again, wouldn't it be a disaster from their mouths? So the two men earnestly persuaded each other, and his wife, afraid of another disaster, secretly threw Mao Xiucai's form paper into the pot and set fire to it. Although Mao Xiucai was very angry, he always gave up the idea of complaining.
Who knows, the form paper thrown into the pot was still seen by the kitchen god. Facing the heinous behavior of the dragon, Kitchen God was furious and decided to do justice for the world. So he directly submitted the form paper to the Jade Emperor. The jade emperor read the form paper and was furious with the dragon. He immediately ordered people to find out the truth and ordered the dragon to be beheaded without forgiveness. That night, lightning and thunder flashed in an instant, and it was stormy. The next morning, people really saw a bloody faucet poured behind Xu Maozhuang. It turns out that the dragon was cut down and the faucet fell here.
Although the crime is unforgivable, the dragon king is also saddened by the slaughter of the dragon son. The Dragon King personally circled down and took a piece of earth from Baidang (now Longgang Happiness Village) to cover Zi Long. Later, the place occupied by the Dragon King became a wasteland. It is low-lying and can't be planted here. Wild reeds grow here. Every rainy season, it is a vast place, commonly known as "Baidangkou". Where the faucet is covered, a mound of more than 9 mu is formed, which is 1 to 3 feet higher than the flat land, which is the "Dragon Pier Head". Careful observation shows that the landform of Baidangkou is like a "dragon pier head" dug there.
Until liberation, there was a saying in Xuzhuang that the keel was dug to treat traumatic injuries. People dug out the keel from the dragon pier and polished it carefully to stop bleeding. It is said that the curative effect is very high, so there were many folk collections at that time.
It is also said that there is an abyss in the southwest corner of Baidangkou, which is rich in carp all the year round. After several transformations, it has become an aquaculture base.

"Yan Fu Popular Edition" later published a poem entitled "Wan Yi Jingting Old Painter", which read:
"Wan Li traveled all over the world, weathered, didn't get the credit.
Thousands of ice and poses are iron, and lifelong friends are plum blossoms.
Affectionate white hair belongs to mulberry, and it is priceless to reflect rosy clouds.
The flag of the lake and the sea mourns the departure of the crane, and the art world hangs new flowers. "
I made a proper evaluation of the life and hobbies of the old people. I couldn't help crying after reading it.
Rola Chen is in Longgang.
Yancheng is an old revolutionary base area. In this red land, the older generation of proletarian revolutionaries Chen Yi, Liu Shaoqi, Su Yu, Huang Kecheng and so on. They all left their footprints in battle and life. Ximenlong Port in Yancheng, called Gangmen Town in ancient times, was once the seat of the county government in Ye Ting, and generals such as Chen Yi also left many anecdotes here.
1. Know "Commander Niu"
During the period of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, my wife Yin, who was in Longduiwei (now Shangzhuang Town, Yandu District), often sold cattle from the Yellow Sea to Shanghedui, and was called "Commander of Cattle".
194 1 One day in March of the lunar calendar, he sold four cows and passed by Longgang. Because I didn't lead the way, I was stopped by the New Fourth Army on guard. According to the regulations, you need to find an acquaintance to guarantee. Yin tied the cow and rushed to Fenghuang Bridge in Longgang to find relatives to guarantee it. While hesitating, I saw several big horses running across the bridge. One of the soldiers looked at him, tightened the reins, turned over and dismounted, went straight forward, took his hand and said with a smile, "Brother Yin, you made me look for it so hard!" "Yin was taken aback. The soldier smiled and said, "We met in Gaoyou, don't you remember?" Yin quickly looked the man up and down: four big and five thick bodies, ruddy face and high forehead: "Oh, oh, I remember, are you Chen Laodi?" " !"
This "Chen Laodi" was none other than Chen Yi, the new acting commander of the New Fourth Army.
How did Chen Yi know Yin? Words have to start from a year ago. On one occasion, Chen Yi passed Gaoyou and was stopped by two puppet troops, thinking that Chen Yi was a "spy" of the * * * production party. As it happens, Yin came to this area to sell cattle. Seeing this, he quickly stepped forward and said to the two puppet troops, "Two fellow villagers, how did you stop my friend?" As he spoke, he slipped some money to the two puppet troops. Two puppet troops also made a accommodate them and let Chen Yi go. After the puppet troops left, Chen Yi only said that he was a "businessman who eroded capital". Yin Chuanqi famously said, "Businessmen are away, but there are many friends."
Later, Yin went out to sell cattle and sold several cows to a cattle shop, but the money was delayed. Cattle owners sit at Yin's house to collect money, and Yin goes to Niu Hang to collect debts. Unexpectedly, the boss of Niuhang turned against him and assigned his men to repel Yin. Yin is in a strange place, anxious. The local people expressed deep sympathy and suggested that Yin go to the big temple not far from Niuhang to ask the garrison for help, and expressed his willingness to help the people to the army commander Chen Yi. With a glimmer of hope, Yin was overjoyed to see Commander Chen in the big temple. It turned out that Commander Chen was none other than the "businessman who eroded his capital". Chen Yi laughed and asked why he wanted to stay in the temple until he was investigated. The next day, Chen Yi sent two soldiers to accompany Yin to get the cow money back. Out of gratitude, Yin gave part of the cow money to Commander Chen for military expenses. Chen Yi wrote an iou and they said goodbye.
I don't want to run into each other in Gangmen Town this time. From then on, the two became best friends. "Commander Niu" Yin also constantly accepted Chen Yi's anti-Japanese patriotic thought, joined the guerrillas of the * * * Production Party and became the guerrilla captain. After the establishment of People's Republic of China (PRC), Yin went to Shanghai to visit Chen Yi, and Chen Yi specially called a hospital in Shanghai to treat Yin's eye diseases.
2. Refuse to leave ink.
During his stay in Longgang, Chen Yi and his headquarters lived in Xu Houfu's compound in Beixujiaxiang (now Xu Xiang Village, long gang zhen, Yandu District).
Xu Houfu was a feudal landlord and the richest man in Xujiaxiang 1 1. He is snobbish and mean, and is called "Master Xu". Although I know a little about literature and ink, I have been a "heap director" for more than a year, but I am stubborn. See Chen Yi commander, gentle appearance, a pistol, noble nature. He knew that he must be a senior official of the * * * production party, so he played a "cleverness" and always tempted him with small profits, but Chen Yi and the garrison ignored him and were unmoved.
On the eve of Chen Yi's departure from Xu Xiang, Xu Houfu specially gave a banquet, hoping to invite Chen Yi to stay in Mo Bao, in case the * * * production party gained political capital for itself after taking power. Chen Yi had already seen Xu Houfu's bad intentions and refused on the spot. He was left with only a few policy books on land reform.
After Chen Yi left, Xu Houfu was still stubborn and abandoned all the books given by Chen Yi. With the deepening of liberation, Xu Houfu not only refused to be an enlightened gentleman, but tried his best to change fields and sell property and transfer hidden wealth. During the land reform, Xu Houfu's land property was less than half. But in the end, they failed to escape the punishment of the working people. The farmers who were turned over crawled on the ground in front of the cows, forcing them to hand over their hidden property. Finally, Xu Houfu waved guiltily and said, "No, it's really gone. There's nothing left." Xu Houfu's funny mess made the farmers laugh. Later, in Xujiaxiang, there were two allegorical sayings, such as "Six lords climb cows-nothing" and "Six lords climb cows-don't take them with you, and don't take them with you when you die", which have been passed down to this day.
The Historical Origin of Kong and Longgang, the Author of Peach Blossom Fan
In the 25th year of Kangxi (A.D. 1686), when the Huaihe River burst, Dr. imperial academy Kong was ordered to travel with Assistant Minister Sun of the Ministry of Industry to help dredge the Yellow River. When Kong arrived in Yancheng, he arranged to excavate 57 miles of Xinguan River (now called Mang River, the same below), the estuary east of Gangmen Town (now long gang zhen).
This statement is also confirmed in the biography of Sun in the Qing Dynasty, volume 279, volume 66 ... In the ninth year of Kangxi, two Jinshi went to the Ministry of Industry as assistant ministers, and he also got a bachelor's degree in imperial academy. In the twenty-sixth year of Kangxi, Langzhong and others were ordered to go to Huai and Haikou, and were appointed by Xiahe Ministry of Industry. Steel gate is the first construction site, followed by Baijuchang, Dingxichang and Cao Yan. I learned a lesson from it ... The construction of Haikou Gangmen Town and Baiju Town was completed in Fengjian, while Dingxi and Cao Yan stopped.
Records of long gang zhen also recorded that Confucius and Sun Duxiu repaired the Manghe River and dredged the Yellow River into the sea. More importantly, in the process of exploring the humanistic features of the Python River, the comrades of the new edition of long gang zhen Annals accidentally got a five-tone tune from Kong's Huhai Poetry, which added spice to Kong's visit to Longgang.
This poem entitled "Gypsum Gate New River" wrote:
"The endless water has turned this book into the sea.
Infinite new buildings, limited dead money.
Shore grass grows in autumn, and merchant ships grow in dusk.
I sang songs, sang achievements, and turned to tears. "
Longgang is known as "Qianjia" and "Gangmen Town" in history, and Xinguan River is the original name of Python River. There is a strong sense of hardship in these five laws. We seem to see Confucius traveling and wandering in Longgang when he was supervising Manghe River.
Peach Blossom Fan is a peach blossom fan that runs through the main emotional thread of the hero and heroine and Li, but it has the reputation of "Taoyuan Scenic Spot" on the sand mountain fifteen miles north of long gang zhen. The spring here is "peach red and pear white", and the bright spring can't cover it, just like a fragrant Xue Hai. Now it has become a national agricultural tourism demonstration spot and a four-star rural tourist spot in Jiangsu Province. Imagine, was there a peach forest here in those days? Does it bring the same inspiration to Kong's creation?
The eternal python river
According to the Records of Longgang, the Python River was dredged by Bao and Wu Sikun during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty 10 (1582), so it was named because it was curved like a python. According to the local chronicles zhangjiapu, the "New River Tide" was once one of the "Eight Scenes of Longgang". Zhang's East Temple 19 Dai 'an also left a message: "The new river is also strong and the wind is like thunder. Climbing to the Phoenix Bridge looks like ten thousand horses follow. " Magnificent and beautiful poems.
Speaking of local chronicles, I can't believe that the Python River and the Dazong Lake have such a long history. Legend has it that on a sand dune fifteen miles away, a python turned into a beautiful snake and married Zhang Zhenren's niece. Later, Zhang Zhenren's niece became suspicious because she thought snake essence was always cold. When Zhang Zhenren learned about it, he took out the magic mirror and revealed the original shape of the python. The python escaped and fled eastward to Deng Ying Bridge in Yancheng. Zhang Zhenren caught up with it and stabbed the python in the eye with his sword. The boa constrictor was forced to turn back and flee blindly all the way, leaving a winding river flowing to the boa constrictor river. Finally, the python swam to Dazong Lake and died of exhaustion.
Python River is the main drainage channel of Dazong Lake, and "Autumn Moon in Pinghu" was once one of the "Eight Scenes of Yancheng". Gao Cen's poem Autumn Moon in Pinghu in Qing Dynasty said: "The boat is full of autumn lake, and the moonlight is picturesque. The flowers of Polygonum cuspidatum roll snow, and the white leaves are crisp. One day, the stars are as cool as a wash, and people on both sides of the strait are eager to stop. At most, the night wind is surging, and the dragon ball is walking in the crystal plate. " I read it, too. However, just as Longgang people don't know the legend and history of the Python River, there are many little-known secrets in Kong's poems and the Python River. I used to be a stranger to Dazong Lake not far away.
In my impression, when I was studying in high school, I once went boating on the lake with my classmates. There should be our laughter and laughter on the lake in autumn. Later, junior high school students stayed together for 20 years. At the invitation of a classmate who used to be the main leader of Dazong Lake, they looked at the scenery of the lake under the cool breeze of National Day night, not only because they felt beautiful, but also because of their efforts to build Dazong Lake. At the beginning of the year, at a cultural industry investment promotion meeting, I got a copy of the Legend of Dazong Lake presented by Liu, the author of Dazong Lake. I read it carefully and got a new understanding of Dazong Lake. It turns out that Dazong Lake, also known as Great Lake and Taihu Lake, has a history of 800 years. Known as "Xizi Lake in northern Jiangsu", it is also a four-star tourist attraction around the lake in He Lixia, northern Jiangsu ... I didn't expect that Dazong Lake, like Manghe River, has so many legends, so beautiful, so full of magical colors.
Starting from a poem by Kong, I went all the way back to the Python River, listening to the gurgling water and carrying surging waves, and arrived at Dazong Lake. The scenery seemed to be everywhere. Quiet place, slowly collect, can not help but be deeply moved?
Python River, Dazong Lake! How many stories and dreams!
Longgang is the hometown of Hu Qiaomu, a proletarian revolutionary, and Hu Gongshi, a famous calligrapher. It is also the hometown of famous calligraphers Mr. Jing Ting and Mr. Zhu Hongshou. This used to be the seat of Ye Ting county government. Huadu Forest Park in Jiangsu Province is called Taoyuan Scenic Area. It has been recognized by the National Tourism Administration as a national agricultural tourism demonstration spot, a four-star rural tourist spot in Jiangsu Province and a national pollution-free fruit production demonstration zone; Kong, Lin Zexu, Sun, and others all built water conservancy projects here. Many film and television dramas, such as The Story of Six Treasures, Fenfei and Feng Yu Zhou Tong, were filmed here.
