Deep in Yanshan Mountain, at the foot of the Great Wall, qinglong river and qinglong river's nine-curved ileum flows, winding southward. Originated in Duolun, Inner Mongolia, it flows through Qinglong Manchu Autonomous County and lulong county, Qinhuangdao City, and flows into the qinglong river of Luanhe River. It is clear and sweet, and nurtures the hardworking and brave people of all ethnic groups on both sides of the strait. There is a little-known story about its origin.
Long ago, qinglong river was a dry river, and its source only existed in rainy season. There is a village where there is a rich man and a poor man. There are two people in this poor family. The mother became a widow, and her son's father named Qing Qin Longlong owed the rich man a death debt when he was alive. He exploited the principal and interest, and he couldn't pay his debts. His mother had to let Qinglong work for the old rich man to pay off his debts.
The old rich man kept a horse at home and asked Qinglong to mow the horse every day. Qinglong people are hard-working, mowing the grass to feed the horses, and taking care of their own two acres of wasteland, so the mother and son live alone.
This year's drought, a drop of rain for many days, the earth is so dry that smoke, crops can be lit with a sickle, and vegetation is dry. Where can there be grass? The old rich man has a snake in his heart. If Qinglong fails to mow the grass, he will be beaten and scolded, and his salary will be deducted.
One day, Qinglong ran all over the mountain with a long face, a straw basket and a sickle. Suddenly, he found a piece of green grass growing under the cliff. He hurried to the front, put down the straw basket, waved a sickle and cut it down, just filled a basket and happily carried it back to the old rich man's house. The next day, he came here again, and was surprised to find that the place he cut yesterday grew a piece of green again. Just a few days in a row filled a straw basket, and he cut grass here. However, after a long time, the old rich man became suspicious. The old rich man thought: it's too dry, and the grass is dead. Where did he cut the fresh grass?
One day, the old rich man quietly followed Qinglong to see where he mowed the grass. The old rich man found that Qinglong was chiseled from the bottom of a cliff. After Qinglong walked with the draft basket on his back, the old rich man found a crop of green grass growing here. The old rich man muttered to himself: if you do this, there is no green place all over the mountain, but the grass here is green. The old rich man frowned and his idea came out. Thinking of this, the old rich man went home to get the shovel head and dug the grass root for a while. He found a small stone basin under the grass root, which was very rough, so he picked up the shovel head and smashed it. The small stone basin was smashed into sparks and slid down the cliff to go home.
The next day, the old rich man urged Qinglong to cut the horse, saying that if he couldn't finish cutting the grass today, he would be deducted half a year's salary.
Qinglong carried a basket and went straight to the bottom of the cliff. When he arrived at that place, he was dumbfounded. All the grass roots have been dug up and dried. Qinglong wiped her tears, carrying an empty basket, and walked down the hill step by step. When he walked down the hill, he found a small stone basin. The Qinglong family has no money to buy things. He thought, take the small stone basin home and make it for the watchdog.
Qinglong has a dog at home, hungry as a bone. Qinglong put a small stone basin at the door and poured the slops left over from washing dishes into the stone basin. Although it's just swill, there's not much food in the bowl where dogs are full every day, but there's no need to add any more. The stone basin itself has always been full, and Qinglong thought of the endless grass under the cliff. Suddenly, people understood that this small stone basin must be a treasure. How clever! It really is a treasure. No matter how many meters are scooped from the stone basin, the two women who are always full in the stone basin are very happy. They took the rice to the market and exchanged the broken silver in a small stone basin. As a result, the more money they spend in stone basins, the more they spend. What a cornucopia! The two girls had money, paid off the debts of the old rich man's death, and their lives were thriving.
The news that the Qinglong family had a cornucopia spread like wildfire and reached the ears of the old rich man. The old rich man came to beg for a cornucopia. The two women said nothing to the old rich man, and he frowned. When he had an idea, he thought, I can't get the cornucopia, so you can't expect him to tell a group of bandits stationed nearby. The bandits were eager to get the cornucopia at once, and immediately led the bandits and the old rich man to the door to catch the bandits like wolves. The mother and son, surrounded by the Qinglong family, cried bitterly. Mother said to Qinglong, son, life is worse than death. We girls can't let the cornucopia fall into their hands even if we give our lives. You broke the cornucopia! Qinglong lifted the cornucopia and threw it on the wall, but it couldn't be broken. Just then, the robber soldiers outside roared: If you don't hand over the cornucopia, we will set your house on fire. At this critical moment, Qinglong threw his heart into the well of the hospital with a cornucopia.
Coincidentally, this well in Qinglongyuan is bottomless, and there is still a little dragon hidden inside. The little dragon was condemned by heaven and imprisoned in the well. On this day, Xiaolong finally got his wish. At this time, the bandit soldiers jumped into the well and robbed the cornucopia. At this moment, the well water suddenly surged and a water column gushed out from the wellhead. When the little dragon surfaced, the waves suddenly became monstrous.
Well water rushes and roars, spilling thousands of miles, along the foot of Yanshan Mountain, breaking through the Great Wall crib, flowing to the earth and pouring into Luanhe River.
Later, people named this crystal clear river qinglong river.
