Meng Jiangnu cried at the Great Wall

According to legend, Qin Shihuang had heavy labor.

Three days after their wedding, young men and women Fan Xiliang and Meng Jiangnu were forced to set out to build the Great Wall. Soon they died of hunger, cold and fatigue, and their bones were buried under the Great Wall.

Meng Jiangnv was wearing a cold coat and went through a lot of hardships. Wan Li went to the Great Wall to find her husband, but she got the bad news of her husband.

She wept bitterly at the gate for three days and nights, and the city was torn apart, exposing Fan Xiliang's remains. Meng Jiangnv died in despair by throwing herself into the sea.

2. Strike the stone and scream

According to legend, in ancient times, there was a pair of swallows nesting in the Rouyuan Gate of Jiayuguan.

One morning, two swallows went through the customs. At dusk, the female swallows flew back first. When the male swallows came back, the door was closed and they could not enter the customs. Therefore, the female swallows were heartbroken and made a "chirp" sound from time to time, and they wailed to death.

After his death, he never leaves. Every time someone hits the wall with a stone, he makes a "chirp" and tells people.

In ancient times, people regarded hearing the sound of Yan Ming in Jiayuguan as auspicious sound. When a general went out for a battle, his wife knocked on the wall to pray. Later, before the soldiers went out, they took their children with them to the corner to pray, which formed a custom.

3. Legend of Dingcheng Brick

Dingcheng Brick refers to a brick placed on the back cornice of the West Wengcheng Gate Building in Jiayuguan.

It is said that during the Zhengde period of Ming Dynasty, there was a customs repair craftsman named Yi Kaizhan, who was proficient in the 99 algorithm. As long as all buildings were calculated by him, the labor and materials were very accurate and economical.

The supervisor who supervised the customs clearance asked him to calculate the number of bricks used in Jiayuguan. After detailed calculation, Yi Kaizhan said, "Ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine bricks are needed."

Supervisor Guan Yiyan handed out bricks, saying, "If there is one more or one less piece, your head will be cut off and the craftsmen will be punished for three years."

after completion, only one brick is left, which will be placed on the back cornice of the West Wengcheng gatehouse. The supervisor was overjoyed when he found out, and he wanted to take this opportunity to deduct the wages of Yi Kaizhan and other craftsmen.

I didn't know that Yi Kaizhan said unhurriedly, "That brick was put by the gods, and it is a fixed city brick. If it is moved, the tower will collapse." The supervisor took care of it and dared not pursue it again.

Since then, this brick has been put in place, and no one dares to move it. Now, this brick still remains on Jiayuguan Tower.

4. Cimicifuga

There is a kind of grass called Cimicifuga in Badaling. This kind of grass is poisonous. When people touch it, it hurts like a scorpion sting. It grows outside the Badaling Great Wall and stands guard for border guards, which has made great contributions to defending Badaling.

It is said that after the Great Wall was repaired, heavy troops were set up at the pass. Badaling, of course, is an important pass. Since the day it was repaired, there has been no break in the garrison.

aren't there buildings on the Great Wall? That building is called the enemy building, and the people on guard are there. Officials often carry a whip to check the whistle, and when they find that the sentry in the watchtower is asleep, it is a whip.

what they are more afraid of is that they are asleep, and they don't know when the enemy touches them! Therefore, as soon as they came to the sentry post, they cried to God: "God, please don't let me fall asleep. When the enemy comes, say hello to me and let me know. "

Not to mention, the Jade Emperor really knows their cry. The Jade Emperor realized the sufferings of border guards, so he thought of a way to send grass gods to bring grass seeds with him and scatter them outside the Great Wall. The grass is growing everywhere.

As soon as the invading enemy touched this grass, it stung and screamed, and the sentry woke up when he heard someone shouting. From then on, I will never be beheaded for standing guard mistakes. Simao became a good friend of the sentry, and they were more protective of Simao.

Stories and legends about the Great Wall

At the beginning, when Jiayuguan City was built, thousands of stone strips with a length of 2 meters, a width of .5 meters and a thickness of .3 meters were needed. After the craftsmen chiseled the stone strips in Montenegro, they couldn't lift them, but their carts couldn't move, and the mountains were too high and the roads were too long to transport them. Everyone is worried while cutting stone strips. Seeing that the winter season is coming, the stone strips have not been shipped out from the mountains. If the construction period is delayed, it will be small without wages, and this head will be hard to protect. Everyone was sighing for a long time. At this moment, suddenly there was a muffled thunder from the top of the mountain, and a brocade fell from the white clouds. All the craftsmen quickly caught it and saw a few lines looming on it. After reading it, everyone suddenly realized and acted according to it. When winter came, people built a road from the mountain to Guancheng, poured water on the road to form an ice lane, and then put the stone strips on the ice lane for sliding transportation. As a result, the stone strips were successfully transported to Jiayuguan City, which not only did not delay the construction period, but also saved a lot of construction period. In order to thank God for his protection, many craftsmen built temples near Guancheng to worship the gods, which became a place that craftsmen must pay homage to after starting their careers. 2. According to legend, in ancient times, a pair of swallows built their nests in the Rouyuan Gate of Jiayuguan. One morning, two swallows went through the customs. At dusk, the female swallows flew back first. When the male swallows came back, the door was closed and they couldn't enter the customs. Therefore, the female swallows were heartbroken and made a "chirp" sound from time to time, and they wailed to death. After his death, his spirit lingered, and whenever someone hit the wall with a stone, he made a "chirp" and told people. In ancient times, people regarded it as auspicious to hear the sound of Yan Ming in Jiayuguan. When the general went out to fight, his wife knocked on the wall to pray. Later, before the soldiers went out, they took their children with them to the corner to pray, which formed a custom. 3. In ancient times, in the west of Xiaofangcheng in Gansu, there was a post station called "Horse Lost Rabbit", also called "Horse Lost". Caravans have to pass through this place to transport jade from the border to the Central Plains. The terrain here is very complicated: swamps are everywhere, ravines are criss-crossing, forests cover the sun, and weeds are overgrown. Whenever caravans carrying jade catch up with the hot weather and go on the road, in order to avoid heatstroke of people and livestock during the day, they always like to be cool and hurry at night. Therefore, whenever the cavalry comes here, it is always dark and can't tell the direction. Even the old horses who often go back and forth on this road will be confused and difficult to know the way. This is how the name "Lost Horse" is called. There is a caravan that specializes in selling jade and silk. It travels along this road all the year round and often gets lost in the "horse lost". Once, the caravan got lost as soon as it entered the "lost horse". People were in great anxiety when suddenly a lone goose fell not far away. A young man in the caravan quietly caught the wild goose. He was kind-hearted and held it in his arms, ready to take it out of the "lost horse" and then let it go. After a while, I saw the wild goose purring at the young man with tears, saying, "Gollum, give me food to get lost." The young man suddenly realized after listening, and immediately took his own dry food and water to let the geese eat their fill. After the geese were full, they flew into the sky and circled constantly, leading the caravan out of the "horse lost way" and arrived at the destination Xiaofangcheng smoothly. After a while, the caravan lost its way in the "lost horse", and the wild goose flew in the air and cried, "Gollum, the caravan is lost. "purr, the square plate is inlaid with jade." Call while flying, and led the caravan out of the way. Only the young man who saved the wild goose understood the words of the wild goose, and told the leader's boss, "The wild goose told us to put a piece of luminous dark green jade on the small square plate city, and the caravan will never get lost again when it has a goal." After listening to this, the boss thought that a piece of luminous dark green jade was worth several thousand taels of silver, so he couldn't bear to part with it, so he didn't agree. Unexpectedly, the next time the caravan got lost in the "lost horse", it couldn't find water for several days. The camel was panting with thirst, and everyone's mouth was dry and thirsty, and their lives were in danger. At this moment, the wild goose flew again and cried in the air, "The caravan is lost, and the square plate is inlaid with jade, so don't give up the black jade and never lead the way." After listening, the young man hurried to tell the boss. The boss panicked and asked the young man what to do. The young man said, "You should kneel down and swear to the geese:' You must be inlaid with jade and never break your word.' . "The boss immediately swore to the wild goose on his knees as the young man said. After hearing this, the wild goose spun in the air for a moment, which led to the caravan's" lost horse "again and the caravan was saved. After arriving in Xiaofangcheng, the boss never dared to love money again. He immediately picked out a piece of the biggest and best luminous dark green jade and set it at the top of Guanlou. Whenever night falls, this jade shines brightly, and it can be seen clearly dozens of miles away in Fiona Fang. The caravan has a goal in the past and will never get lost again. 4. The goat carries bricks in Jiayuguan City, the wall is 9 meters high, and dozens of pavilions of different sizes and numerous stacked walls will be built on the wall. The amount of bricks used is very amazing. At that time, the construction conditions were very poor, and there was no lifting equipment, so it was all carried by hand. At that time, the bricks used to repair Guancheng were all fired 4 miles away. After the brick is burned, it will be pulled under Guancheng by ox cart, and then it will be carried up manually. Due to the height of the city, the only road that can go up and down is steep, and it is very difficult to go up and down. Although many people are sent to carry bricks on the wall, all of them are tired to death, but the bricks on their backs are still in short supply, and the progress of the project has been seriously affected. One day, a shepherd boy came here to play with sheep. Seeing this scene, he had a brainwave. He took off his belt, tied a brick on each end and put it on the goat. Then, he patted the goat's back with his hand. The light goat trotted up the wall with the brick on his back. People were surprised and happy when they saw it, and they followed suit one after another. A large number of bricks were quickly transported to the city wall. 5. Legend of Jiayu Mountain Long ago, the snow water flowing from Qilian Mountain continuously merged into Beida River, which passed through the wasteland in the middle of Hexi Corridor, watered the fertile fields in that area and nurtured the people of all ethnic groups there. One day, a shepherd boy was herding sheep in the wasteland. He met an eccentric old man with a bag of stone sand on his back and asked him how to get to the Beida River. He said, "This Beida River used to be my home, but it was robbed by a group of people. I want to block the Beida River with stone sand this time. "After listening to this, the shepherd boy was very angry and immediately contradicted:" Don't say that you used a bag of stone sand, even if you moved the mountains in the north, you also wanted to divert the Beida River. "When the old man heard this, he immediately pulled the bag of stone sand to the left and right. Suddenly, many hills and a mountain rose on the wasteland, which is now Jiayu Mountain. It turned out that this strange old man was a turtle, but he read a spell and tried to knock down Jiayu Mountain to block the Beida River. At this moment, suddenly a strong wind blew, thunder and lightning, and the Jade Emperor sent Raytheon to kill the old man. At the place where he died, a mountain bag, shaped like a turtle, immediately rose, which is now the "turtle-covered mountain". The Great Wall, also known as the Great Wall of Wan Li, is an ancient military defense project in China. It is a tall, solid and continuous long wall, which is used to limit the enemy's riding. The Great Wall is not a simple isolated wall, but a defense system with the wall as the main body and a large number of cities, obstacles, pavilions and landmarks. The history of the construction of the Great Wall can be traced back to the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the famous allusion "the bonfire plays princes" that happened in Haojing, the capital (now Xi 'an, Shaanxi) originated from this. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, countries competed for hegemony and defended each other, and the construction of the Great Wall entered its first climax, but the length of construction at this time was relatively short. After Qin destroyed the six countries and unified the world, Qin Shihuang connected and repaired the Warring States Great Wall, which was called the Great Wall of Wan Li. Great Wall resources are mainly distributed in Hebei, Beijing, Tianjin, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu, Inner Mongolia, Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning, Shandong, Henan, Qinghai, Ningxia, Xinjiang and other 15 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities. Shaanxi Province is the province with the most abundant resources of the Great Wall in China, with a length of 1,838 kilometers. According to the results of the national Great Wall resources survey conducted by the cultural relics and surveying and mapping departments, the total length of the Great Wall in Ming Dynasty was 8,851.8 kilometers, and the Great Wall in Qin and Han Dynasties and the early period was over 1, kilometers, with a total length of over 21, kilometers. On March 4th, 1961, the Great Wall was announced by the State Council as the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units. In December 1987, the Great Wall was listed as a world cultural heritage.

Wannian Ash and Yanjing City: People say that the Great Wall of Wan Li was first built by Qin Shihuang. In fact, he didn't build the Great Wall at first. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period before Qin Shihuang, there lived a prince of Yan, who was in danger of being eaten by neighboring countries at any time because of his small territory, few military forces and weak strength. In order to keep his country, the Prince of Yan requisitioned civilian workers and built a high wall on the top of his country border to prevent foreign enemies from invading. Because there was no lime at that time, the walls, stones and bricks he built were plastered with mud. In order to seize time, repair the city as soon as possible
