The Legend of Jiayu Mountain
A long time ago, the snowy water that flowed down from the Qilian Mountains continued to converge to form the Beidaihe River, which passed through the wilderness in the middle part of Hexi Corridor, watering the good land in the area and nourishing the people of various ethnic groups there. One day, a shepherd boy was herding sheep in the wilderness, head on a weird old man, carrying a bag of stone sand, asked him to go to the North River how to go, and said: "This North River was my home, and then a group of people robbed, I came to use the stone sand to block the North River." The shepherd boy was very angry after hearing this, and immediately said, "Don't say you use a bag of stone and sand, even if you move the big mountains in the north, you still don't want to divert the North River." The old man heard the gas explosion, immediately the bag of stone sand to the left and right withdrawn, suddenly, the wilderness protrudes many hills and a big mountain, this big mountain is now Jiayu Mountain. It turned out that this strange old man is the turtle essence of the change, only to see him recite incantations, attempting to push down the Jiayu Mountain to block the North River, is at this time, suddenly windy, lightning and thunder, the Jade Emperor sent the God of Thunder to the old man struck dead. In the place where he died, immediately raised a mountain, the shape of a tortoise, which is now the "tortoise cover mountain".
Beijing Badaling Great Wall near the Qinglong Bridge south, north of Juyongguan, there is a place called "five Guitou", describing the extremely dangerous, can be described as "a man when the pass, ten thousand can not be opened", is one of the seventy-two views of GuanGou. There originally called "chaotic North Pole ditch", legend has it that the Yan King Zhu Di swept north, leading hundreds of thousands of troops, all the way to invincible, but after Juyongguan, will be stopped in the "chaotic Chai ditch" this pass, the Ming army paid a great price, attacked dozens of days also did not break through, the King of Yan was very annoyed. At a time when there is nothing to do, someone suggested: "Nearby there are five brothers of the fire family of benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom, and faith had been in the Yuan Dynasty as a small chief, a unique hand of firecracker stunts, can be invited to help in the battle." Soon after, the King of Yan hired these five brothers of the Fire Clan, Taishan, with heavy gifts, to serve him. A few days later, the Fire Brothers transported cannons and gunpowder, came to the front of the formation, looked after the terrain, aimed at the target and started. The fire of the five brothers is worthy of the God gunner, a shell flying to the Yuan position, bullet-free, only a while of work, that is as solid as an iron wall of defense was destroyed by the cannons one by one, the Yuan soldiers and Meng will be heavily injured and killed, the rest of the abandonment of the pass and fled. The king of Yan led the army to pursue the victory, and successfully occupied the "chaotic firewood ditch" pass. The five brothers of the Fire Brothers made a great achievement, but only in exchange for a short period of glory. Later, the king of Yan became the emperor will be uncharacteristic, on the fire family five brothers can not rest assured that they are really unreliable, in case of change of heart, revolt, the cannon aimed at my king of Yan, I won't be the world won't be taken away by them. Therefore, decided to eradicate them, they were falsely accused of being "spies", to rebel and other trumped-up charges, they were arrested and beheaded, but also hanged five heads in the chaotic firewood ditch to show the public. This action caused the people's indignation, accusing the King of Yan of being lawless and ungrateful. The voice of this resentment soon reached the ears of the King of Yan, the King of Yan was afraid of the people's rebellion, in order to win the hearts of the people, so the fire of the five brothers as "five ghosts God of Wealth", and in the GuanGou ShiFoSi west of the place set up the "five ghosts God of Wealth Temple," in order to enjoy the generations of incense." Five ghosts head" thus named, later people think "ghost" word is not auspicious, then changed to "five Gui head". Now, on the rock wall at the entrance of the old Beijing-Zhangzhou Railway Cave, you can still see the three big words "Wu Gui Tou" carved on it.

The walls of the three countries to the north of Qin, Yan, and Zhao were connected and repaired together. The legend of Meng Jiangnu's search for her husband and her weeping over 800 miles of the Great Wall happened at that time.
In ancient times, Meng and Jiang were neighbors, separated by only one wall. One spring, Meng old man in his own yard planted a gourd seed, after watering, fertilizer carefully cultivated, gourd seedlings grow fat, tall, climbed over the wall, to Jiang old man's yard knotted a very large gourd, there are dozens of pounds. When the gourd is ripe, ginger old man with a knife to cut it, suddenly see inside lying a white and fat, very cute girl doll, ginger old man happy, running around, the village heard, have come to watch this new thing, but Meng, ginger two old man is therefore a contradiction, arguing. Meng old man said very firmly: "This gourd is I personally planted, the fat girl should belong to me." Jiang old man but stubbornly said: "this gourd knot in my yard, the girl should be my." Noisy three days and three nights, difficult to separate, no results, after the village mediation: the girl belongs to the two families *** with the same, take turns to live, *** with the support, and took a "Meng Jiangnu" name.
Time flies like an arrow, the sun and the moon like a shuttle, in the blink of an eye more than a decade has passed, Meng, ginger two old people have grown up for the Meng Jiang female son-in-law called Fan Qiliang, selected the auspicious day, ready to get married. The day of marriage, the groom, the bride is about to worship, suddenly from the door broke into a few magistrates, swarmed to the groom Fan Qiliang when the people arrested.
Originally, at that time, because of the Qin Shi Huang in all parts of the country to deploy a large number of people to build the Great Wall, day and night desperately dry, the people were exhausted, starvation, in order to speed up the speed of the project, they are everywhere to catch the people to supplement the Fan Qiliang was sent to serve as a repair of the Great Wall of the people.
A year passed, Fan Zaliang no news, anxious Meng Jiangnu can not eat, sleep, do not know what to do, and the two old people discussed, decided to go to look for her husband, vowed to find her husband will never return home. She took with her dry food and her husband's special winter clothes on the road. Along the way, the wind and rain, sun and wind, cold and hunger, walking hard, after thousands of miles of trekking, finally found the place to repair the Great Wall, a inquire only to know, for the repair of the Great Wall died many people, her husband, Fan Qiliang died of exhaustion long ago, and was buried under the Great Wall, the bones can not be found. This news is like a bolt from the blue, Meng Jiangnu immediately grieved mournful crying, tears like spring, sound like thunder, crying shocking, the sky dark, watching the Great Wall section of the collapse, weeping to where the collapse to where, enough 800 miles long. This can be anxious about the project director, rushed to report is coming to inspect the progress of the project of Qin Shi Huang. Emperor Qin Shi Huang rushed to see Meng Jiangnu to find out the reason. After seeing her, he was mesmerized by her beauty and wanted to make her the "Queen of the Palace". Although Meng Jiangnu was full of anger, but still suppressed the hatred, a clever idea, will be a trick to Qin Shi Huang must promise her three conditions, in order to be the "Queen Mother". First, to find the body of her husband Fan Zhaliang; second, to hold a state funeral for her husband; third, to Qin Shi Huang for Fan Qiliang wearing mourning, send a streamer to the funeral. After listening to Meng Jiangnu's three conditions, Qin Shi Huang pondered for a moment, and in order to get the beautiful Meng Jiangnu, he agreed to do so. Meng Jiangnu wore mourning mourning and worshiped the grave of Fan Zhaliang, who had died building the city, and after her wish had been fulfilled, she faced the rolling Bohai Sea, and took a leap of faith, and threw herself into the sea.
The story of Meng Jiangnu's weeping at the Great Wall was soon celebrated by the people, who honored her by building her grave and a temple on a hill near Shanhaiguan, named "Jiangnu Temple". The story of Meng Jiangnu's search for her husband over ten thousand miles to send her cold clothes and her weeping over eight hundred miles of the Great Wall is a well-known story that has been passed down to this day. Author: ~~Dragonhawk~~ Date Posted: 2005-3-31 Qi Jiguang was the Chief Military Officer of Jizhen Town, and with the support of Tan Lun, he personally planned and supervised the construction of the Jinshanling Great Wall (located in Luanping County, Hebei Province). The structure of this section of the Great Wall is unique in that the wall is made of huge boulders based on brick cladding. At the eastern end of the Jinshanling Great Wall, on the Tiger Mountain, there is the Wangjing Building, which is located on the top of a 1,000-meter-high mountain, with cliffs on both sides of the building, so that people can only climb up through the cracks in the rocks. It is said that when it was built, many people were killed or injured in order to transport the stones, but the stones still could not be transported up. The Jade Emperor was moved by this incident and immediately sent his nephew, Erlang Shen, to transport the stones. That night, Erlangshen came to the bottom of the Tiger Mountain and saw piles of rocks piled up there, then he shook his divine sword and immediately turned it into a mountain whip. He waved the whip to the rocks, while shouting "change", the block of rocks, immediately turned into a big goat, straight to the top of the mountain. To the top of the mountain after he counted, no more and no less, just enough. Coincidentally, a soldier tent urinate, suddenly saw Erlang Shen drive goats, screamed and ran back. Erlang Shen heard someone shouting, also ate a shock, will dozens of stones kicked down the mountain, landing in the east of the depression. Erlang Shen then took off into the sky. In this way, dozens of stones were missing to repair the Wangjing Building. Now when you climb the Wangjing Building, you will see the bottom of the building twelve layers of foundation stones in five layers of broken stone blocks. And those who were kicked off the mountain by the god Erlang to the stone, still piled up in the depression, the local people call this depression for the stone depression. Author: ~~Dragonhawk~~ Date Posted: 2005-3-31 About 1.5 kilometers to the west of the Great Wall, there is a place called "Wolf's Nest". The name "Wolf's Nest" has an interesting legend. A long time ago, the area west of Beijing was seriously short of water, trees were hard to grow, grass was hard to grow, bald mountains and barren land, nine harvests in ten years, and the people lived an extremely poor life for generations. When the Jade Emperor learned of this situation, he sent an "immortal pig" down to the earth to open the river to divert water and relieve the people's suffering. This immortal pig is surprisingly large, like a mountain, body length of thirty-three zhang three, head three zhang three feet three, even the pig tusks are foot three feet three inches three long. Immortal pig was ordered to come down to earth after the start of the work, see it left an arch, the mountain collapsed, right an arch, the ground cracked, under the foot of the river immediately appeared and wide and deep, rolling water along the ditch forward. The immortal pig kept arching forward arching, see almost to Juyongguan, the Great Wall of China like a dragon lying in front of the mountains, the immortal pig stopped to look at the left and right are mountains, in the end, where to arch it? When he was in trouble, an old man came from the distance, the immortal pig hurriedly asked the old man, "Boss, what is the place in front?" When the old man saw the river behind the pig, he immediately understood. This pig is arching the soil to open the road, if it is allowed to arch further, then the Great Wall of China will be destroyed, and after Juyongguan Pass, along the ditch to the east, it is a flat river, directly approaching the city of Beijing, and if the water goes down the mountain, not only will it wash away ten thousand hectares of good land on the plains, but also the city of Beijing will not be able to save it, and it will be flooded by the water. I have to think of a plan to stop the pig arching forward, a frown, plan on the heart, then said to the immortal pig: "in front of the "wolf's nest", there are three hundred and thirty-three big wolves, specializing in eating pig's head and pork, and there are also three hundred and thirty-three small wolves, specializing in eating pig's offal and heart, liver, lungs. These days, this group of wolves are screaming, three or five miles away can be heard, if you go forward, you must be careful." After listening to the words of the old man, the immortal pig was scared to death, thinking, "It's really fortunate that I ran into this old man, otherwise I really have to arch into the wolf's den, I'm afraid I can't even save my life. I should simply change my course, so I arched headlong toward the south." The river it arched over is the Yongding River, which is more than thirty miles west of Beijing. When the old man saw that the immortal pig had gone far away, he breathed a sigh of relief and laughed happily. Thanks to the old man's words, the Great Wall was not destroyed and Beijing was not flooded. Later, people named the place where the old man and the immortal pig met "Wolf's Nest".

There is a legend about this ancient willow tree. According to legend, the Qing Dynasty, Tongzhi years, Zuo Zongtang was ordered to lead the army to quell the unrest, he came to Jiayuguan when he saw a desolate scene on the Gobi Beach, in addition to sparse camel grass, there is nothing to see, so he was overwhelmed with emotion. As Zuo Zongtang led by the Hunan children, forced to stay away from the mountains and waters of their hometowns, to this vast barren land, they have deserted. Zuo Zongtang saw this situation, in order to stabilize the army, immediately took a series of measures: order all the generals to widen the road, and decided to plant a large number of trees along the roadside, and formulated a strict decree to ensure that the trees survive. A few years later, the area has been willow shade, trees in rows. Later on, a literati once carved a poem on a willow tree: "The general is not willing to return to the border, the Hunan children are full of Tianshan, the newly planted willows are three thousand miles away, leading the spring wind to the Jade Pass." People say that this ancient willow near Jiayuguan Pass City was planted at that time, therefore, it is called "Zuo Gong Willow".

It is said that the Tang Dynasty Xuanzang and the Wukong, eight quit, monk and his four teachers and disciples, after all the hardships, long-distance travel, from India to get the scriptures back, broke through the Flaming Mountains, wading through the Shule River, came to the Hexi Corridor. This day, the weather is particularly hot, hot sun, such as burning like fire, endless Gobi Beach is hot and nowhere to hide, the stone was baked hot hot, as if the sky under fire in general, Xuanzang rode a horse in the front, the three disciples of the back of the Scriptures followed closely behind, did not go a few steps on the sun baked sweating, dry lips and dry tongue, red face and ears. Pig eight ring really can not stand, they begged the master said: "this day to die of heat, or find a shade to rest before rushing not too late." Xuanzang heard immediately rebuked: "this piece of the Gobi wilderness thousands of miles, even a grass is not long, where to the tree, or hurry to hurry to matter!" The eight ring has no choice but to pout, panting forward to rush, while walking to the sky, only to see the sky blue, a trace of clouds are not, by the way, said: "this moment if a rain how painful it is ah." Unexpectedly. Words just fell, immediately dark clouds, lightning and thunder, pouring rain poured down, master and disciple four people were drenched into a drenched chicken, the scriptures were all soaked through. After the sky cleared, Xuanzang hurriedly ordered Wukong to explore the road, find a good place to spread out the scrolls to dry a little. Wukong a heel turn on the clouds, found not far away from a black oil black stone mountain, a inquire to learn that this mountain is called the dongting mountain. Wukong hurry to bring the master to the mountain, Xuanzang look very satisfied, and pointed to a black oil boulder, said: "This stone is drying the good place, you quickly open the scrolls spread out to dry, and make the eight rings guard the scrolls, no mistakes." Soon, the scrolls drying dry, master and disciple four people hurried to pack the scrolls, ready to rush. Unexpectedly, there are a few tightly stuck in the stone above, how to uncover can not be uncovered. They had no choice but to transcribe them on other papers. Soon, the black stone where the scrolls had been dried suddenly turned white. Later, people will be this piece of white as jade stone called "drying stone" from this, this folk legend has been spread. Author: ~~Dragon Eagle~~ Date Posted: 2005-3-31 At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, in order to consolidate the defense line along the northwest, sent Feng Sheng, the general of the conquest of the captives, to the Hexi Corridor area, and prepared to build a pass in the site there, in order to prevent the invasion of Mongolian Wazhou tribe outside of the Serbian. Feng Sheng inspected everywhere, looking for the site of the pass, and finally decided to build a majestic pass on the Gugei Mountain. He quickly invited skilled craftsmen, put a line on the mountain, nailed stakes, ready to break ground the next day. Who knows the next morning, Feng Sheng came to the site to see, found that the ground line and stakes have disappeared, he sent people around to look for, while calling the soldiers on duty last night to ask. The duty soldier reported: "last night when I was on duty, have not closed a glance, to four o'clock, suddenly the wind rose up, blowing the sky and the ground, the wind stopped, and then look at the ground on the line and the pile have disappeared." At this very moment, the soldiers who had gone elsewhere to look for the lines and stakes came running in breathlessness to report, "The lost lines and stakes have been found on the slopes of the Jiayu Mountains to the north of the Narrow Valley." Feng Sheng will be skeptical to run there to see, pile and line neatly nailed to the hillside, really surprised, quietly and then carefully look at the terrain here: only see the south Qilian Mountains snow-capped, the north side of the Horsehair Mountains rolling, the west side of the vast Gobi Desert, the east side of the oasis piece, and murmuring streams of spring water. At the foot, the mountain is flat, there are fifty acres of land in a circle. If you build a pass here, by the mountains and the water, high above, into the attack, retreat can be defended, solid as a golden soup. Further thought, when the site was chosen in the turtle cover mountain, there is the lower reaches of the river Chailai, in summer due to the Qilian mountain snow melt, flood water rushing through the pass, will lead to the destruction of the whole army. The more he thought about it, the more fortunate he felt, "It is really God's help for me to change the location of the pass also". Feng Sheng immediately reported to the emperor, then, the construction of a 220-foot-long Jiayuguan fortress.
According to the legend, the change of the site of the fort was entirely due to the guidance of Guan Yunchang's spirit. To honor his memory, the people built a "Guan Di Temple" in the city. The temple consists of the main hall, accompanied by the hall, over the court, pagoda, etc., an area of about 720 square meters, built very rich and magnificent. Many people for the expression of piety, but also voluntary contributions, with heavy gold to buy a pearl, embedded in the top of the hall. Since then, the pearl day and night radiate dazzling light. One evening, suddenly dark skies, black clouds, lightning and thunder, the people of the city were terrified, have run out of their homes to watch, and fiercely heard a deafening roar, suddenly saw two giant dragons flying in the air, has been flying into the temple of Guan-Di, and never seen out. The next day, the rain cleared, people have come to Guan Di Temple to see, at the top of the hall on both sides of the pearl, each with a huge dragon, vivid, just to form a "two dragons playing with the pearl picture". This myth and legend has been passed down to this day. Author: ~~Dragonhawk~~ Date Posted: 2005-3-31 In ancient times, west of Gansu Xiaofangcheng, there was a post station called "horse lost rabbit", also known as "horse lost way". Caravan from the frontier ü-Tsang transport jade to the Central Plains have to pass through this place. The terrain here is very complex: swamps, gullies, forests, overgrown. Whenever the jade caravan catch the hot weather on the road, in order to avoid heatstroke during the day, people and animals, always like to cool off at night to catch the road. Therefore, whenever the caravan goes here, always a dark, can not recognize the direction, even often to and from the old horse in this road will be dizzy, difficult to recognize the way, "horse lost" is the name of the so-called.
There was a caravan of merchants specializing in jade and silk that traveled on this road all year round, and often lost their way on the "Horse Lost Road". One time, the caravan just entered the "Horse Lost Road" and got lost. People are anxious at the time, suddenly not far away from the fall of a lonely geese. A young man in the caravan quietly grabbed the geese, kind-hearted, he held it in his arms, ready to take out of the "horse lost" and then let go. A short while later, only to see the geese shed tears on the young man gurgling and saying: "gurgle gurgle, give me food gurgle gurgle, can out of the lost." After hearing the young man suddenly realized, know that the geese because of starvation can not fly to fall out, then immediately took out their own dry food and water to let the geese eat a full. After the geese ate their fill, they flew up into the sky, circled around, led the caravan out of the "horse lost", and arrived at the destination of the city of Xiaofangpan smoothly. After a period of time, the caravan again in the "horse lost" lost their way, the geese again flew in the air called: "Gulu Gulu, the caravan lost. Gollum, gollum, square plate with jade." While screaming and flying, and led the caravan out of the lost. Only the young man who saved the geese understood the words of the geese, and relayed to the leader of the boss said: "The geese told us to set a piece of luminescent dark green jade on the small square plate city, the caravan will have a goal in the future, it will never get lost again." The boss heard, the heart of a calculation, a piece of luminous dark green jade to be worth a few thousand taels of silver, really can not afford to give up, did not agree.
I didn't expect the next time the caravan in the "horse lost" lost their way, days can't find water, the camels thirsty gasping for breath, everyone's mouth dry, thirsty, hard to walk, life is at stake, is at this time, the geese flew again, and called in the sky: "the caravan is lost, the square plate with jade, do not give up the ink and jade by no means lead the way." The young man heard and hurriedly relayed to the boss, the boss panicked, busy asking the young man in the end what should be done to do, the young man said: "You quickly kneel down to the geese swore: \'must be set with jade, and will never go back on their word. \'." The boss immediately according to the young man said, kneeling to the geese swear, the geese heard, rotating in the air for a few moments, the caravan once again led out of the "horse lost", the caravan was saved. After arriving at the small square plate city, the boss no longer dare to love money, immediately picked the biggest and best piece of luminous dark green jade, set in the top of the building, whenever the night falls, this piece of jade will emit dazzling light, dozens of miles away from the circle to see clearly, the passing caravan has a goal, no longer lose their way. From then on, the city was renamed "Yumen Pass". In fact, the Yumen Pass was built by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, because this is an important transportation route to the West in ancient China, imported from the West and Hotep Jade stone from this into the pass, so the name.

According to legend, the first year of Ming Zhengde (1506), the Ming dynasty in order to strengthen the defense of the Northwest, sent the military vice Xian Li Duancheng presided over the construction of Jiayuguan Pass and the citadel. The lieutenant in charge of the construction was called Hao Kong. He was usually cruel and often brutalized the craftsmen. In the construction of the city's craftsmen, there is a master called Yi Kai Zhan, excellent skills, rigorous design structure, beautiful shape, very strong, save materials, precise. Before the start of work, HaoKong bully asked YiKaiZhan: "build this pass in the end how many bricks needed?" Yi Kai Zhan answered with confidence: "I have calculated, a *** need 999,999 bricks." Hao Kong heard coldly laughed: "These bricks that you need I allocate to you as much as you want, even if it is one more or one less, I will cut off your head and punish all the craftsmen to serve hard labor for three years." Yi Kai Zhan without fear, then led the craftsmen to intensify the construction, after hundreds of days and nights of hard work, the city was finally completed, the craftsmen were very excited. Unexpectedly, a craftsman holding a piece of the remaining bricks panicked to find Yi Kai Zhan, the public poured a pot of cold water to everyone. Hao Kong just at this time rushed over to Yi Kai Zhan hissed: "Why did not you calculate accurately, more than this brick, tomorrow take you beheading is to ask." Yi Kai Zhan is not afraid at all, said categorically: "This brick is the fixed brick, to move it off, the whole city will collapse at the moment!" Scared Hao empty gray fled.

Author: ~~ Dragon Eagle ~~ Date: 2005-3-31 West of Jiayuguan, Gansu Province, about 20 kilometers, there is a place called "double wells sub-city", there is a beautiful legend ----- "Mulan Arrow". Legend has it that a long time ago, where there is a piece of grass and water in the pasture, there is a small Ga Mei's little girl every day in this goat herding. One afternoon, the sun set in the west, the colorful sunset. Little Ga Mei is ready to drive the sheep home, suddenly saw a bowl thick, spade long wooden arrow slanting in the ground, the arrow in the setting sun, shining. Little Gamei was surprised and happy, ready to pluck the arrow out, but exhausted all his strength and did not move the arrow in the slightest. Seeing that it was already late in the day, Xiao Ga Mei had to give up and put many stones around the arrow as a mark, ready to pluck the arrow with her partners the next morning. Early the next morning, the little Ga Mei brought his friends to look for the arrow, not only did not find the wooden arrow, even those marking stones are also gone. Little Ga Mei was determined to find the magical wooden arrow. From then on, in addition to herding the sheep, Little Ga Mei never forgot to look for the arrow. One day, he drove the sheep to a small stream, and saw a gray-haired old grandfather is there with a pouch to carry soil to build a wall. Little Ga Mei went forward to ask the original reason, the original grandfather in the construction of the city to protect a sacred arrow, and told her the origin of this sacred arrow: a long time ago, there is a heroine called Hua Mulan guarding the border, her martial arts, and shot a handful of good arrows, there are three red lacquered arrows in the pot, people call it "Mulan arrows". One year, the Xiongnu nobles in the north started a war, claiming that they wanted to fight with Hua Mulan to the death. General Mulan responded calmly: "I will fight you if you retreat one arrow from me." The enemy general thought that this one arrow is only 20 to 30 feet away, what's the harm, so he agreed. Before the words fell out of his mouth, he saw General Mulan take out an arrow and put it on his bow, and then he heard a "whoosh" sound, and the arrow actually reached Jiayuguan Pass. When the enemy general saw this, he immediately turned his horse around and fled in a panic. There is a local song that goes like this: "Hua Mulan stomped along the Yellow River and shot an arrow to Jiayuguan Pass, if you want to see it, you can't find it, but it's right in front of your eyes." The old grandfather then said, "I want to save this sacred arrow for future generations, so I built a city here." Little Ga Mei was pleasantly surprised, and immediately helped the old grandpa build a city with his friends, naming it "Mulan City". On the day the city was built, the magical Mulan arrow was suddenly stuck in the center of the city. Little Ga Mei helped the old man to build a well next to the Mulan Arrow for the people in the neighborhood to drink. Some years later, someone tried to seize the arrow and set fire to Mulan City, which angered the god of the sky and immediately poured down rain to put out the fire. The arrow flew away to some unknown place. In the place where the arrow was inserted, a new well flashed out, and the original well in the center of the city, so the ancient city was known as "double wells.

Qinyuanchun "Snow"
February 1936
The scenery of the north country,
Thousands of miles of ice,
Thousands of miles of snow.
Looking at the Great Wall and beyond,
the only thing left is the recklessness;
River up and down,
the monstrousness is lost.
The mountain dances with a silver snake,
the original wax elephant,
wanting to compete with the sky.
Sunny days are needed,
to see the red makeup,
demonstrating.
The mountains and the rivers are so beautiful,
Luring countless heroes to bend their backs.
The Qin Emperor and the Han Wu,
lost a little literary talent;
Tang Zong and Song Zu,
lacking in popularity.
The pride of a generation,
Genghis Khan,
only knows how to bend the bow and shoot the eagle.
It's all gone,
Counting the people,
Looking at the present day.
The Ballad of the Great Wall
Despite a history of battles above and below the city
Despite the capture and return of Yanji
How many times have there been sorrows and joys in how many passes
You will always be an unforgiving structure
Crouching on the top of the wild hills
Crypting to look at the world's grudges
Why do you sing?
Why can't I sing about you
Why can't I write about you
But when I talk about you, a fire burns up
In the fire there are ten thousand miles of you
There are thousands of miles of you
There are thousands of years of you
There are your clouds, your trees, and your winds
There are your clouds, your trees, and your winds
Cailecheon, under the Yinshan Mountain
The moonlight tonight is as bright as the water
And the Yellow River still runs past you this night.
Flowing into my sleepless dreams
Linjiang Xian. Climbing the Great Wall at Badaling
Wan Lifeng
It's not a good man who doesn't climb the Great Wall, not to mention the steep slopes and stairs.
The mountains and rivers are splendid. The Great Wall of China has been a great success story for thousands of years, and it has been a source of wonder for many countries.
The big tunnel is through the north and south, and the dancing phoenix dances with the dragon, and the highway is built to be wide.
Autumn's high winds and high tides make for a wonderful sight in all directions.
The Great Wall of China will never fall, and the Yellow River will flow for thousands of miles
The Great Wall is easy to get to, but it's hard to be a good man
The Great Wall and its hometowns are both inside and outside of the Great Wall
The construction of the Great Wall has caused a lot of suffering, and Meng Jiang has cried for no one
The Great Wall is a great example of a great city, a great city.
