If the lake is green and loves Bai Ou to fly, if the water is clear and pity the red carp fat.
(Don Bai Juyi)
Now the lagoon has already been flooded, mainly due to the diversion of the Yellow River and the drop of the lagoon water level. Only the southeast corner of Xiaoxian County has only a part of primitive lagoon because of its low terrain, which is called "Laowang Lake". The "lagoon" in the poem is today's Laowang Lake.
According to Xuzhou Magistrate's Annals, "... Zhang Shan (now Suzhou Zhang Shan Collection) has Wuli Jiuding Mountain as the boundary mountain of Lingbi in the east, Wuli Temple in the south, Zhongqing Lake in the south, lakes in the west bank, Laowang Lake in the south, Caojialou in the middle, three boundary pillars in the east, Lingbi in the northeast, lodging in the southeast and Xiao Ye in the west. "
During the Republic of China, Laowang Lake was the boundary lake of Xiaoxian, Lingbi and Suzhou at that time.
According to legend, at the end of the Chu-Han dispute, Liu Xiang and his two armies confronted each other according to Laowanghu (formerly known as Jinghu). Ten Li battlefield, ambush on all sides, Xiang Yu, the overlord of the western Chu Dynasty, was defeated by Gaixia (ancient place name, now Yuji Township, Lingbi County) on the south bank of Lao Wang in the besieged city, and finally committed suicide in Wujiang River. Heroes die young, but beauties grow old. Liu Bang's heroes cherish heroes. He buried Xiang Yu and Lu Gong's gifts together, and buried Xiang Yu's concubine Qing Ji on the spot by Lao Wang Lake. Until now, there is still a water area called Zhongqing Lake on the north bank of Laowang Lake. In memory of Xiang Yu, later generations built Wang Ba City on the south bank of Lao Wang Lake, facing Zhongqing Lake on the north bank of Hubei. Although the city has disappeared, the names of Chengdong Village and Chengxi Village are still there.
One side breeds one person.
Laowanghu Lake, blue waves, egrets soaring, surrounded by mountains on three sides, birds singing and flowers fragrant. ...
In my memory, Laowanghu is magical and a place where celebrities come forth in large numbers. In the Ming dynasty, there was a minister of the household department, Zhang Tigan. During the Republic of China, there was Fang Xianjue, a famous anti-Japanese; There is a great calligrapher Li Bairen today.
It is said that during the Republic of China, there was a great drought in an old Wang Hu area, and the ponds dried up and the wells dripped. The villagers by the lake have used Laowang Lake to water the land to fight drought and protect seedlings.
Because Laowang Lake is the boundary lake between Xiaoxian and Lingbi, villagers in the two places often stage water grabbing plays.
What's wrong with grabbing water? This usually happens when it doesn't rain, and villagers on both sides of the Taiwan Strait are scrambling to pump water into the ground. If you pump slowly, the water in Laowang Lake will flow to the other side, and gradually the water will be drained, and your crops will dry up and die, and there will be no harvest.
On this day, there will be a water grab. Both sides organized some of the strongest laborers in the village or neighboring villages to participate, and started a scramble for water in the early morning.
One day, a Taoist traveling in the clouds passed by here and saw such a fiery scene. He couldn't help asking a scholar-like person next to him, "What's the matter, so lively?"
The scholar shook his head and said, "Taoist, we don't know what happened here this year. A while ago, there was a locust plague. It hasn't rained for months, and it's drought again! " In order to grab water and fight drought, we almost hit both sides of the lake ... "
"oh! I see, then why don't you grab water? " The Taoist priest looked at the student and asked.
"I am a scholar, I am too weak to compare with them." The scholar poured a bowl of tea and handed it to the Taoist priest. Then he said, "I can only make some tea for the villagers and send it to quench their thirst."
The Taoist priest took the tea and said, "I think you are a rich man, a rich man with beautiful eyes and a kind heart." How famous is it? "
"Shame!" The scholar said, "I have read a lot, and I have studied hard for many years at the cold window, but I have only one scholar!" " "
"oh! You won the scholar at a young age! Not bad! " The Taoist priest then asked, "Where do you live?"
"I live in Fangjiazhai in the north, and my surname is Fang." The scholar pointed to the village near Hubei, and then sighed and said, "Well, it is said that our terrain here is low, and the feng shui is not good, either waterlogging or drought ..."
Hearing this, the Taoist experienced observing the sky, sand and water. Then another scholar said, "No! This place is rich in soil and springs, beautiful lakes and beautiful mountains. It's a place where hidden dragon crouches tiger! In a few years, there will be noble people! "
Fang Xiucai listened with a grain of salt. He scratched his head and asked with a smile, "This Taoist heard that monks are familiar with astronomy and geography. Can you calculate my occupation? "
"Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth is determined by heaven!" The Taoist priest looked at Fang Xiucai for a while, and the other scholar gave a thumbs-up and said meaningfully, "People do good deeds, the future of Mo Wen!"
After that, the wandering Taoist priest went into the mountains to collect medicine.
This is a beautiful legend circulating in Fangjiazhai area. ...
This Fang Xiucai is Fang Weibao.
Fang Weibao, with good handwriting, lives in Fangjiazhai by the lake of Lao Wang.
Fangjiazhai is a beautiful small village surrounded by mountains on three sides and Laowang Lake in the south. Three mountains and one water, beautiful scenery, birds and flowers all year round, folk customs.
To the east of Fangjiazhai is Jiuding Mountain, which is famous for its rich Lingbi stone known as "the first stone in the world".
To the west of Fangjiazhai is Zigong Mountain. According to legend, Zi Gong Dailu, a disciple of Confucius in the Spring and Autumn Period, made a covenant with Wu in the south, which was named after Zi Gong's nostalgia for the landscape and long residence here.
Zhang Shan set is next to Fangjiazhai in the north. Speaking of the origin of Zhang Shanji, there is a legend.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhang Shan belonged to the State of Lu, and the border of the State of Wu was just south of Laowang Lake. At that time, the two countries had established diplomatic relations for many years. At that time, there were 3,000 disciples of Confucius, the founder of Lu Confucianism, among whom Zhang Zeng, the son of 72 sages, came here to give lectures three times and enrolled hundreds of students. Since then, Confucianism has been spread and developed in an unprecedented way here, and it has also promoted the integration of Lu and Wu's ideological culture.
In memory of Zhang Zi, later generations named a mountain near Zhang Shan as "Zhang Zi Mountain", and built a Zhangzi Temple at the southern foot of Zhang Shan, the son of Zhang Zi, to give lectures. Over time, a market town named "Zhang Shan Ji" was formed here. Now, the villagers here are still elegant, hardworking and kind, and there are simple folk customs everywhere. Every family is proud of gaining fame and serving the motherland. (According to the old man, there was a temple in Zhang Shan before the collection, also called the Sutra House, which was destroyed by war before and after liberation. )
Fang Weibao was born in a scholarly family and was influenced by Confucianism since childhood. He can recite eight-part essay and three-character classics, but he didn't satisfy his talent. Although he took part in the provincial examination many times, he only won the scholar in the late Qing Dynasty.
Fang Weibao inherited the ancestral motto of "patriotism and love for the people". Because of his kindness and generosity, he helps poor farmers with the grain accumulated at home every spring and summer, and the locals all praise him as "Fang Renshan".
Fang Weibao married Kang, gave birth to five children, a virtuous wife and a filial son, and was very happy.
Fang Weibao is most optimistic about his third son Fang Xianjue.
Fang Xianjue was smart and lively when he was a child. When I was studying in a rural private school, my grades were excellent, which made Fang Weibao very pleased.
Every year after the Lunar New Year, there will be a temple fair in Zhang Shan. At this time, people from all over the country came to join in the fun, which was a great local sight. The biggest attraction of the temple fair is social drama.
This kind of social drama is generally a troupe invited by wealthy businessmen in Zhang Shan, and it lasts for more than half a month.
At this time, the people have just finished the New Year, and there is no farm work. They are all here to pay tribute. It's a sea of people and it's very lively.
Fang Xianjue was happiest when the social drama was staged, because he loved to listen to dramas since he was a child. He especially liked Sun Bin's dramas of breaking Pang Juan, Guan Yu and Cao Cao, and Yue Fei's resistance to gold, and worshipped heroes such as Sun Wu, Guan Yu and Yue Fei.
Fang Weibao is eager to see his son become a dragon, and the other party is particularly optimistic. I hope he will study hard, inherit his ambition and have any fame in the future. Since then, he has honored his ancestors.
However, when he came home from an opera one day, Fang Xianjue cried and made a scene for not going to a private school. He wants to learn martial arts. In his view, "strategizing, winning thousands of miles away; Command hordes, battlefield let you vertical and horizontal "promising.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, martial arts prevailed in China, just like Huo Yuanjia, the Golden Gate warrior, and Huang Feihong, the Lingnan martial arts master, who were all representatives of that era.
At that time, Xiaoxian area was also influenced by social atmosphere, and the number of martial arts practitioners increased day by day. However, most martial arts practitioners are sent to the martial arts school for self-defense by their parents because their families are not very rich and small, and they are afraid of being bullied by others.
More than 90% of Fangjiazhai is Fang, a noble family. Since no one bullies the big family, there is no need to practice martial arts. Considering that Fang Xianjue is lively and active, he has been keen since he was a child. Fang Weibao was worried that he would often fight and kill people in the future and cause any trouble, so he rejected Fang Xianjue's idea of martial arts, and only encouraged Fang Xianjue to continue to study hard in the cold window so as to be famous in the future. How to be a scholar is better than a gun?
Fang Xianjue has been obedient since he was a child. Because of his father's disapproval, he cried for a few days and had to do it.
After years of studying hard at a cold window, Fang Xianjue lived up to his father's expectations and rose to the top. He was admitted to Nanjing No.1 Industrial Middle School and Engineering College of Central University.
Perhaps it is because he has a keen personality since he was a child and hates the ugly phenomenon of feudal society. When he knew the meaning of the word law when he was studying, he made up his mind: I want to be a lawyer!
Then I was admitted to the Law Department of Shanghai University of Political Science and Law.
However, Shanghai at this time is not the legendary "Oriental Paradise". Gangs in Shanghai (green and red gangs and society) oppress the people and do evil. Foreigners occupy the concession and dominate the city, especially the big sign "Chinese and dogs are not allowed in", which deeply hurts Fang Xianjue's heart.
