About the origin of the city and the owner of the city of drowning in the end who is, historians and archaeologists have different opinions, so far is still inconclusive. It is said that Drowned City was once the capital of the state of Amen at the end of the Shang Dynasty and the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, and the Amen ruler was the monarch of the state of Amen in the east of Qufu in Shandong Province at that time. Legend has it that the king of Ami was the king of the Ami Kingdom who started a rebellion in collusion with the descendant of Shang Dynasty, Wu Geng, and was destroyed by King Cheng of Zhou, and then fled to Jiangnan with his remnants from Shandong Province, where he dug the river as a moat and piled up earth as a city, still called "Ami". Because the ancient character "淹" with three dots of water and "am" without three dots of water are commonly used, they have been passed down to this day, hence the name "Drowned City". Another story is that in the late Spring and Autumn period, Ji Zha, the son of Wu, was dissatisfied with Helu's assassination of Wang Biao and his seizure of the throne, and was determined to break with Helu's tyrannical politics, and "would never enter the state of Wu for life", so he built a city and dug a river in his fiefdom, Yanling, to show his determination to stay in the river, and helped to give his name to the "Drowning Castle". Naturally, the owner of Drowning City is Jiza. Drowning City, this historical city, along with many unsolved mysteries, to be archaeologists, historians to unravel the mystery. According to historical records, the highest wall of the ancient city of Drowning 20 meters, the wall base is 25-30 meters wide, all rammed by the mud and become.
3000 years of wind and rain, left behind are the masterpiece of creation. Objective existence there is the Jiangnan water town full of clear blue water, there is a fertile field on the thousands of years left behind geometric monuments, as well as many hidden in the underground of the Chinese people's splendid culture. Wading in the middle of it is like entering a paradise outside the world, giving people an ancient, quiet, deep feeling. People here have this saying: "See Beijing in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, see Xi'an in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and see Drowned City in the Spring and Autumn". It can be seen that "Drowned City in people's minds unusual attraction. The central government and the provincial and municipal departments decided to step up the development of Drowned City, making it one of the famous tourist spots in Taihu Lake Scenic Area.
Since 1958, the drowned city unearthed a large number of geometric printed pottery jars, tanks, urns, bowls and bronze (such as copper bells, bronze tripods), unearthed in the inner city of the dug out of the dugout, stirring up the Chinese archaeological community, the largest one for the whole section of the nanmu fire-roasted and axe chiseled, 11 meters long, 0.9 meters wide, 0.45 meters deep, was known as "the world's first boat!
The largest one is a whole section of nanmu fire-roasted and axe-hewn, 11 meters long, 0.9 meters wide, 0.45 meters deep, known as "the world's first boat", now treasured in the Beijing Museum.

China Spring and Autumn Drowned City Tourism Zone has gradually become a bright and dazzling tourism star in the Yangtze River Delta region. The clan of the square country, the people have always revered the custom of the turtle, and therefore by the "big turtle" co-written as "am", as the name of the country, marking the sublimation of the sacred imagery of their clan emblems: the turtle that is, the tribe of the Amuans.
Later, the Amam tribe was destroyed by King Wu of Zhou during his crusade against Yin Zhou because they followed Shang Zhou. The tribe migrated to the eastern part of Qufu in Shandong Province. Unexpectedly, a few years later, the Amu Kingdom was involved in the "Three Supervisors" rebellion, and was once again killed by Zhou Gongdan during his eastward campaign, and the king of Amu was brutalized. The tribesmen had to embrace the new king and migrate to the land of Huaiyi. However, King Cheng, the new ruler of Zhou Dynasty, was worried that the Amam tribe still had the intention to rebel and wanted to kill them all, so he led his troops to conquer the area in person. The young king had no choice but to flee to the southeast with his people again.
They fled to the Yangtze River, but were stopped by the river. Little Amamune heard the sound of the pursuing soldiers getting closer and closer, anxious and at a loss, looked up to the sky and sighed: "The sky is dead, I am the ear!" He said he wanted to jump into the river to kill himself. At this time, he carried a turtle with the car suddenly spoke: "Lord do not worry!" He jumped out of the car. This is a strange turtle, body length six feet, was disliked by others, is small Amen Jun since childhood to raise. Just see this six feet turtle quickly climbed to the water's edge, stretching his neck to drink up water. But heard the water rattling, by the turtle big mouth big mouth into the belly. Turtle it, see the water will be long, not long as big as more than ten feet square. At this time, the six-legged turtle signaled the small Amazons and clan members to stand on its back. Strangely enough, Little Amigo and his people stood up in order, but did not feel crowded. After the turtle saw all of his people standing up, he instructed them not to open their eyes.
The six-footed turtle let out a long whistle, and then the wind was gusty, flying sand, six-footed turtle in the middle of the two feet into a pair of two feet long wings, rise up in the air, the blink of an eye will fly across the river. Landed on the south bank, the six-footed turtle retracted wings, even to the southeast to climb quickly. Clansmen standing on the back of the turtle although stable, just listen to the whirring wind in the ear, also scared all hugged into a ball, who do not dare to open their eyes.
I do not know how long, the six-legged turtle climbed to the south of a swampy wasteland, finally exhausted. It stopped and turned around to see if there were still pursuers behind it. When it is difficult to turn around to the northwest to see, only a vast expanse of barren swampy land, only to put down their hearts. Unexpectedly, it this turn, but no longer able to move, just a furnace incense work will be dead, the body slowly into the wetlands, protruding a square miles of turtle-shaped pattern.
The little amenjun and the clan saw this, and cried loudly. In order to commemorate the great kindness of the six-legged tortoise, Little Amigo ordered to build a city in the shape of a tortoise on the ground, so that the tortoise would stay with the Amigo people forever.
Later, Amagi became a tortoise, the turtle's head and tail and six feet into eight rivers, Amagi city gate is located in the mouth of the turtle, toward the northwest.
Legend 2: Double Turtle River
Legend has it that after Amagi was rescued by the turtle to a barren swampy place in the south of the river, he opened the river and built a city in accordance with the graphics of the turtle. Unable to help this project is large, the clan in the swamp walking is very difficult, coupled with simple tools, labor efficiency is low, so digging the river to build the city progress is very slow. This is the first time I have ever seen this kind of thing in my life, and it's been a long time coming.
That night, Amaranthus was again worried, and kept thinking hard until the early hours of the morning before drifting off to sleep. In his sleep, he suddenly saw the god turtle full of wounds, came from the door. Amune rushed to meet him and said, "Where does the king live?" The turtle said, "Don't ask. If you are not strong enough to build a river, you can dig a hole in my belly, and there are two small turtles to help you." Said, the turtle with claws to pick open the belly, immediately blood flow. Amune see this, crying and wake up. The next day, Amarigun according to the dream of the tortoise said, in the center of the tortoise-shaped ground digging up. Half a day's work, dug into two zhang deep hole, see the hole in the hole really sleep a yellow and a white two small turtles. Amen Jun carefully will be two small turtle hold up. Who knows that these two small turtles see the wind will grow, not a moment will grow into more than ten feet square, "Hu" sound drilled into the swamp, in accordance with the tortoise-shaped pattern of arching soil to create the river.
The two little turtles arch ah, pile ah, for three days and three nights, finally arched out of the three ring-shaped river, built into three ring-shaped city. After the completion of the city river prototype, the two little turtles and return to their original form, jumped into the two deep cave sleep.
Later, the clan called the two deep caves located in the sub-city "Golden Well" and "Jade Well". Legend has it that whenever there are seven clouds in the sky, the golden well where the golden tortoise hides will be filled with drums and music, and the golden light will shine. In another jade well (also known as the jade turtle well), the white turtle lays an egg every ten days, which is as big as a fist and crystal clear. Eggs accumulate over time, constantly piled up at the bottom of the well, so that the well such as starlight twinkling, white jade. It is said that if someone eats this white turtle egg, eat a can get rid of diseases, two can be strong body, three can prolong life. Of course, it is difficult for the general public to eat, and only those who are virtuous and good can enjoy it.
These two wells have been surviving for more than 2000 years, until the Guangxu period was obliterated.
Legend III: Drowning King Chopper
In the west side of the outer city of Drowning City, north-south arrangement of the three tall mounds, locals call it the head of the pier, belly pier and foot pier. About these three mounds, there is a very moving story.
It is said that Amune caused Amune City, soon after the lady gave birth to a daughter. Amamune then to three Amam River for the meaning of the daughter named Miao. Princess Miao since childhood smart and kind, grew to 15 years old when he fell like spending water hibiscus, delicate and incomparable, is the jewel of the Amamune couple. Princess Miao hard-working and kind, gentle and beautiful, good at sericulture and spinning and weaving, but also love music, chess, calligraphy and painting, can sing and dance, is a good girl with both talent and appearance.
The neighboring city of Liucheng's son Yan ambitious, coveted the territory of Amagi City, and the Princess Miao coveted, so they colluded with Amagi City's money-grubbing wood doctor, deceived the Amagi King's trust, and became Amagi City's extra horse harnessed by the side of a team. One day, the Prince Yan took Amamune to go out, stole the name of the Princess, cheated the key of the back garden, and stole Amamune's treasure of the city, the White Jade Turtle.
As he was trying to escape from the city with the white jade turtle in his arms, the princess came back from the military training ground. When the princess saw this, she accused Gong Ziyan of his despicable behavior and wanted to be punished by military justice. Seeing that the matter was exposed, Gong Zi Yan pretended to be very guilty and asked the princess for forgiveness. And then, when the princess was not paying attention, he drew his short sword - Gong Ziyan's copper sword penetrated the princess's chest, and his kind heart was pierced by the evil and merciless sword. The princess had no time to call out, no time to take another look at the soil and water that fed her, and fell into a pool of blood.
Duke Yan, who had lost his heart, stabbed Princess Miao to death and then fled in a hurry. When the Amamune King learns the news, he rushes back to Amam City, intercepts Yan halfway, and takes the White Jade Turtle down after a fight.
Amamune returned to Zicheng, see his daughter's tragic death, can not help but cry, grief, so the white jade tortoise and other treasures accompanied by the princess, buried in the inner city wall. Amidst the fear of future theft of treasures in the tomb of the Princess, they built three burial mounds at the funeral, so that others can not distinguish between the real and the fake.
Since then, people miss Princess Miao, every Qingming Festival, will go to pay tribute. At the same time, bring a handful of soil, add in the princess grave, cultivate soil planting trees. Over time, the Princess's tomb piled up into three large high mound. In order to facilitate pointing, people give these three piers in turn named head pier, belly pier and foot pier.
As people visit the tomb of the Princess, the wish is very effective, and then people will be called Princess Miao "Hundred Princess". Thus, a poignant legend spread throughout the ages, and is still touching.
Legend 4: Ama King Jin Suo
The original year of the drowned city has been called Ama City. Legend has it that a long, long time ago, there was a treacherous and greedy local rich man, overrunning the Amagi River. One summer, the rich man hired a few fishermen to go fishing in the Amagi River. The old rich man was afraid that the fishermen were secretly hiding to take, in addition to sending Zhuang Ding in the river to guard, he also three days and two days to personally sit in the town to supervise.
The eighth day of fishing, a fisherman suddenly fished out a rope from the river, the rope head is as thick as an arm, in the sunlight golden glitter, dazzling. "Baby!" At the sight of it, the old rich man's heart grated. He hurriedly rushed to the river and shouted, "Quickly put it down, this is the treasure left by my ancestors, specially placed in the river to suppress feng shui!" He also made a fuss to scare the fishermen, whoever casually took this treasure rope, there will be the disaster of extermination, and will also involve the whole city people suffered disaster. When the fishermen heard this, they hurriedly threw the rope into the river.
That night, the old rich man took his son and quietly came to the drowning river by the moonlight. They rowed a small boat to the fishermen during the day to fish the place, a row of rolling hooks into the river. Soon, the hooks tied the rope, father and son will pull up. Just pulled up a small section, the old rich man was eager to bend down, licked the rope with his tongue, surprised and exclaimed: "sweet, is gold!" This discovery made the old rich man father and son were ecstatic. Two people completely ignored the back pain hand weakness, in the boat, one after the other, desperately pull up.
Pull ah pull ah, the two pulled a good half day, the gold rope will soon be the boat in the cabin filled. Strange to say, this gold rope is like no end in general, no matter how to pull can not finish. Soon, the front cabin is also full, the rear cabin is full, the river has been leveled the edge of the boat. However, the old rich man is pulling in the interest, where willing to let go, or pull and pull. Finally, the boat can not afford to carry it, the river water rushing into the cabin, the boat quickly sinking, in the blink of an eye on the bottom of the river. At this time, the old rich man wanted to throw away the gold rope upward. But the golden rope was like sticking to his hand, and he could not shake it off. Not long after, the old rich man father and son sank to the bottom of the river, filled a belly of drowning river water - drowning!
It turned out that the purple and gold rope is the king of the year in the canoe tied to the fiber rope, and then the king of the defeat sunk to the bottom of the river. Usually, people can not see anything, only in the late night of August 15 every year, when the moon is in the sky, you can see a burst of golden light straight into the sky, and no one has ever fished anything. Unluckily, this gold rope but to the greedy old rich man found, and make the greedy old rich man was retribution, by the gold rope alive dragged into the river drowned.
Since then, Amagi was called "Drowned City".
Legend 5: Fire attack on Amam City
Legend has it that in the northeast corner of Amam City, there is a city of Liou. The king of Liou had long coveted Amam City, and he knew that he could not win by force
so he tried to win the trust of the king of Amam by pleasing him in every way. Later, Yan, the son of King Liou, was recruited by King Amam as the emperor's son-in-law of the emperor's bed.
Not long after, Duke Yan gave Amamune the idea of planting thistles all over the outer city wall. The sharp thorns of the thistles are so dense that even dogs can't get into them, so they can strengthen the city's defense. On hearing this, Lord Ami thought it was a good idea, so he ordered the army and people to follow the plan. Seeing the success of one plan, Duke Yan came up with a second idea, asking the king of the city to plant lentils on the inner city wall, saying that when the lentils blossomed, they were purple and pink, and became a natural decorative barrier for the city of Amagi. The Duke Yan's careful thought and the means of casting his favor, again won the praise of Amamune.
In the hot summer, Amamune stood at the head of Zicheng City to watch and saw the lentil flowers blooming in a red haze. Thinking that the picturesque submerged city would be an impregnable fortress, Amune was very happy.
However, once winter came, the natural city defenses on the wall of the earthen city - dog thistles full of sharp thorns - withered, and the lentil vines, once the wonders of the wall with green leaves and red flowers, withered and yellowed. The King of Liou thought that the time had come, first let the Duke Yan to steal the treasure of the Amami Kingdom, the white jade tortoise, and then send troops to attack the city after the failure.
The soldiers outside the city of Amam used rockets to shoot at the dog thistles and lentil vines on the inner wall, and then the whole city of Amam burned into a sea of fire, and the son of the king of Amam took the opportunity to take down the city of Amam. The king of Amam, after defeat, ran around, contacted the neighboring three countries, and three days later moved heavy troops back to Amam City and wiped out the king's father and son in one fell swoop.
Legend VI: Yao Ling Bells
"Yao Ling Bells", as the name suggests, is the place where the bells are rung, which was originally used by the king to save his life and make his mind clear.
Originally, the Amulets were a square country in the north, only because their ancestors helped the evil-doers, and were crushed by the King of Zhou three times, fleeing to this place. In order to make the clan and future generations to remember the lessons of the past, and strive for strength, the small Amam June built a good Amam City, the first thing is to choose the inner city on the hill to open up a place in the tree hanging a half-half-high copper bell. Every morning and evening, Amamune led the ministers here for the former bad behavior repentance, for the determination to strong country oath.
Every time, the master of ceremonies will ring the bronze bell, "when when" the sound of the bell to urge people to work hard. Later, because of the unique terrain here, through the three rivers, it was also used as a military defense peak fire platform. It is said that whenever the enemy was detected, Amagi would ring the bell here to warn the whole city to enter a state of war. When the enemy attacked Amagi City, Amagi King is here to ring the bell, calling on the people and soldiers to protect the city.
From the later archaeology found that the Spring and Autumn Period, the three moats are string communication, in today's surface 1.8 meters below, there are still two Spring and Autumn period of the river site.
Legend No. 7: Longquan Tongjiang
In the outer city river in the southeast of Drowned City, there is a place called Longquan, also known as Longtan, where the flow of water is inexhaustible for years. Legend has it that when the divine tortoise saved the amanites from crossing the river, it sucked up all the water of the Yangtze River. After landing here, it will leave a bellyful of water here. Who knows, this water seeped into the ground, but connected to the Yangtze River. Therefore, the water here is clear, sweet and delicious, and the local water quality is completely different.
Where this water connects to the outer river, it is clear and muddy. Crops watered by this Longquan water also grow exceptionally well, producing rice, yams, beans and other foods of superior quality and nutritional multiplication.
Qing Xianfeng six years (1856) drought, red land thousands of miles, when a hundred rivers dried up cracked, but the only drowning city inside and outside the city of the river water as clear as usual, the water flow has not dried up, the reason is that there is a dragon spring, the drowning city people and the neighboring villagers rely on the water of the dragon spring to get through the catastrophe.
There is a myth that the Dragon Lady played in the water and the Jade Turtle made the river, and there is also a ballad: "The water of the Dragon Spring comes from the East China Sea, and the fragrance and sweetness will not dry up for ten thousand years, and it nourishes everything on both sides of the river.

Yue Fei is a famous general of both military and civil, in the thousands of years of China's history, only a few.
In the fourth year of Jianyan (1130 AD), Yue Fei, at the age of 28, led 2,000 soldiers to fight with the Jin soldiers under the city of Changzhou. After recapturing Changzhou from the Jinns, he then swept through the Jinns and recovered a large part of the lost land in Jiangnan, such as Zhenjiang and Jiankang (present-day Nanjing).
