More than 2000 years ago, the seawater in Bohai Bay moved eastward, revealing a retreat. People who go fishing often see dragons lying here, bathed in the sun. Therefore, fishermen call this dragon land, saying that the dragon lies here to help the dragon. So I built some huts here for the dragon, and I was happy when the dragon came. Fishermen live here, surrounded by dragons, and they are happy to go there. Later, people gathered more and more, so they named this place Lin Le. (This is Gengjiaquan on the Wei Xin River)
In BC 140 10, Liu Qi, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, proclaimed himself emperor, and the next imperial edict was "Give advice to the extremely wise", which recommended that all localities go to Beijing to advise the court. There was a monk in the temple on the top of Mount Tai. Hearing that Liang Wudi was a wise monarch, Liang Wudi sealed Mount Tai and went to see the emperor: "If the Han Dynasty wants to prosper, it must take Dong Fangzhiguang. Where does the light come from? Lin Lehu. "
When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty drove back to Korea, he asked the old Hanlin in imperial academy about it. The old Hanlin reported back to the emperor: "Lecheng is an auspicious place, located in the east. Dong Fangzhiguang, God also. Hold Dong Fangzhiguang, and the Han family will be able to maintain long-term stability. " Emperor Wu was overjoyed. At this time, the attendants of the imperial palace came to report: "The emperor is really lucky, and the empress is so happy to have a son." The emperor immediately gave the name "Guang Liu" to return the wish of worshipping Buddha on Mount Tai. Emperor Yuan Shuo of the Han Dynasty named Guang Liu Lin Lehou, where he built a house and a city. For building needs, the local people chose this land to build kilns and burn bricks. More than ten or twenty miles away, dozens of kilns have sprung up, and from a distance, they are filled with smoke. Lin Lehou has been handed down here for five generations. At the end of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Zhao Gao became a king and gave Lin Lecheng to the State of Yan. After Wang Mang established the dynasty, he built a pavilion here called "Lin Laoting", where the monarch and his ministers could watch the sunrise and enjoy the dragon lanterns. Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty cancelled the name of Lin Lecheng and only called Lin Leting to show elegance. In the mid-Jian 'an period of Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty, Cao Cao conquered Nanpi, and Wen became famous. He rode 40 miles south and made a pilgrimage to Lin Laoting, hoping that this place was really full of vitality and changed it to Lin Le County.
According to another record, Gengjiaquan Village was originally the ancient city of Lin Le in the Western Han Dynasty. At the end of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Zhao Gao became king and gave Lin Le to Yan. When I arrived in Gaudi, Emperor Gaozu, I set up Bohai County, which belongs to the East. During the Han and Yuan Dynasties, Guang Liu was named Lin Lehou, which was handed down for five generations. After Wang Mang established the dynasty, he changed Lin Le to Laoting. Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty cancelled Lin Le. After Cao Cao conquered Nanpi in the mid-Jian 'an period of Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty, he returned to Lin Le County and later renamed Xinle County, which belonged to Leling. Although the place name has been changed many times, the city site has never been moved.
In the old days, there were many weeds in the western and southern depressions of the village, which were very dense. Bandits often hide in it, intercept past vendors and rob money. In ancient times, there was a folk saying that "Shanhaiguan is better than Geng Jia Circle". Now, bandits no longer exist, but their slang has been used to this day.
