What are the famous legends in Tianjin?

Folk stories are mostly "word of mouth", which are bizarre and illusory. But there are talented people and beautiful women, immortals and ghosts, and ethics of solving crimes in folk stories. They are full of fantasy and strangeness, just to the appetite of ordinary people, so they emerge one after another and have been passed down to this day.

First of all, of course, we should mention Nezha, our hometown in Tianjin. It is said that Nezha "made trouble with the sea" at the mouth of Sancha River. Everyone knows that his father is Li Jing guarding Chentangguan, which is Chentangzhuang in Hexi District. Li Jing was a famous soldier in the early Tang Dynasty, originally from Shaanxi, and never served as the general commander of Chen Tangzhuang. However, Romance of the Gods wrote him as a man from the late Shang Dynasty and the early Zhou Dynasty, and later became King Tota, who commanded the heavenly army. Three years and six months later, Lifu gave birth to Nezha. Nezha was born with divine power. When Nezha was seven years old, the climax of things finally came. During the drought, the Dragon King of the East China Sea not only kept dripping, but also ordered the hag to rob the boys and girls. Nezha stepped forward, made a scene at the mouth of Sancha River, killed the hag, killed the third prince of the Dragon King, Ao Bing, and smoked the dragon tendons. The Dragon King was furious and went to the Heavenly Palace to complain. Nezha beat him half to death on the way. So the Dragon King of the East China Sea invited three brothers to flood Tianjin and forced Li Jing to make friends. Nezha returned the meat to his mother and the bones to his father. After his death, he was reincarnated by the real master Taiyi, borrowing lotus flowers and fresh lotus roots as his body.

Secondly, I want to talk about the water-dividing sword at the mouth of Sancha River. According to legend, in the past, when the South Canal, the North Canal and the Haihe River met at the mouth of Sancha River, the colors of the three waters did not mix with each other. When Dayu was harnessing the water, Tianjin was flooded. Dayu ordered people to put a sword named "Fenshui Sword" at the bottom of Sanchahekou. Since then, the flood has receded, and the people of Tianjin have a stable life. For a long time, someone remembered this baby. One summer in the Qianlong period, a southerner with bright eyes came to Sanchahekou. For several days in a row, he wandered around a ferry at the mouth of Sancha River. He took a fancy to the basket of Hao's old fruit shop doing business at the ferry. This basket is unusual. The store has not been changed since it opened. Every day, the fruit that comes out of the pot is soaked in oil and turned amber. Southerners paid a high price to buy it, but the owner Hao Fatty said that he would not sell anything. The repeated price increase of southerners aroused the suspicion of Hao Fatty. After repeated inquiries, southerners revealed their true identity and intentions. This southerner, whose real name is Huang, is a "barbarian" who knows how to cherish. He saw the water sword at the bottom of the water and wanted to leave it, but there was an old dragon guarding it at the bottom of the water. Huang needs the help of instruments to succeed. After a long time, there is a gas field and a fire burning, which is exactly what he needs! Hwang used money to lure Hao fatty to be his assistant, and Hao fatty agreed for a while. However, just at the moment of action, Hao Fatty suddenly realized: "As soon as the water sword is taken away, the feng shui in Tianjin will be broken. When the flood floods, the people of the whole city suffer. Am I not a sinner forever? " So Hao fatty quit halfway and stopped helping Huang. Finally, Huang was beheaded, but the water sword was saved. After this disaster, the water in Sanjiang has become one color, not three.
