In the autumn of the fifth year of Longqing in the Ming Dynasty (1571), Liu Xun invited Wen Peng and Wu Yingqi to make a double hook stone and stand in the ancestral hall of the Liu family in Yanling County. The original inkblot, which was obtained by Gao Gong at that time, was soon owned by Zhang Juzheng, who was convicted of raiding his home, confiscated into the court, and then burned. In the thirty-first year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty (1692), Gao Youwen, the great-nephew of Gao Gong, was unclear due to the original carving, and re-carved the stone from his family collection and stood in Xinzheng County (later promoted to a county-level city, but failed to become a prefecture-level city!). One step further away from the municipality! Many other county-level cities are the same! Sometimes the name change is too large and not conducive to historical and geographical research. Inside the Gao ancestral hall. The essence of carving skills is not under the carved stone of Yanling. The Yanling stone carvings have all been lost, and the Xinzheng stone carvings were moved (planted) to the Zhengzhou Museum in 1959 to establish a long corridor and be properly preserved. The stone carvings are divided into 18 pieces, each of which is 60 centimeters long and about 40 centimeters wide; Later, there are six stone carvings of about 40 centimeters wide and 60~90 centimeters long, which are the inscriptions of Zhao Mengfu, Shen Zhou, Gao Gong and others.

On February 1, 1923, under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, the workers of the Jinghan Railway held the inaugural meeting of the Jinghan Railway Federation of Trade Unions in Puyuan (now the site of the Erqi Memorial Hall) in Zhengzhou, but was obstructed by the warlord Wu Peifu by force. On 4 February, the CGT held a general strike on all fronts. On February 7, Wu Peifu, with the support of imperialism, brutally suppressed striking workers in Zhengzhou, Jiang'an, Changxindian and other places, and Communist Party members Lin Xiangqian and Shi Yang bravely took justice.

In the martyrs' cemetery in the western suburbs of Zhengzhou City, there is the mausoleum of the patriotic general Ji Hongchang. Ji Hongchang (1895~1934) is a native of Lutan Town, Fugou County, Zhoukou City, Henan Province. He served as the commander of Feng Yuxiang's division of the Northwest Army, the commander of the 30th Army, and the chief seat of the Ningxia Provincial Government.

In the northern suburbs of Zhengzhou City, 1 km southwest of Dahe Village, the ruins of Dahe Village were discovered in 1964, 12 kilometers away from the urban area, with an area of about 300,000 square meters. In 1972~1980, 11 excavations were carried out, and a large number of tombs, ash pits, house foundations and other relics and relics were found. It is a Neolithic site that includes Yangshao culture (the site is in Mianchi County, northern Yima) and Longshan culture. Mainly the remains of housing, 28 foundations have been unearthed, the age is different, and the structure is also different. The foundation of the house is a group of ground buildings of different sizes and side by side. According to the carbon isotope determination, it is about 5,000 years ago, which belongs to the late Neolithic Yangshao culture. The existing wall of the foundation is 1 meter high, which is the only one in the same period of the house foundation in China so far. A large number of pottery in the unique style of double pots, red pottery black color, light and delicate. The number of white-clothed painted pottery unearthed is very large, the color is bright, the pattern is diverse, it is a characteristic of the painted pottery of Dahe Village. The faience shards are painted with various astronomical images, such as the sun pattern, the moon pattern, the constellation pattern, etc. This discovery is of great significance for the study of the relationship between agriculture and ancient astronomy of Yangshao culture. The excavation of a large number of agricultural production tools, such as stone axes, shovels, knives, sickles and mussel knives, and the discovery of seeds such as sorghum, millet and lotus seeds, show that agriculture was the main production practice and source of life for people at that time. Now there is a restoration exhibition on the site, which reproduces the labor and life scenes of the residents of Dahe Village, and provides precious material materials for describing the primitive society and culture of our country.

Yangshao Village, located 9 kilometers north of Mianchi County, with a total area of nearly 300,000 square meters, is one of the most famous cultural sites in China's Neolithic Age. The cultural layer of the site is about 2 meters thick, and the thickest part is up to 4 meters, from bottom to top, they are the middle Yangshao culture, the late Yangshao culture, the early Longshan culture, and the middle Longshan culture.

Since the discovery of this site by the Swede Andersen in 1921, a large number of stone axes, stone shovels, stone hoes, stone knives, bone awls, bone needles and other cultural relics have been excavated here. The most characteristic in Yangshao culture is the exquisite painted pottery, at that time people's living utensils are pottery, there are pottery dings, pots, bowls, basins, bowls, cups, urns, jars, etc., the decorative patterns on the pottery are very eye-catching, decorated with wide band patterns, reticulated patterns, petal patterns, fish patterns, string patterns and geometric patterns. In March 1961, the State Council designated the Yangshao Cultural Site as a national key cultural relics protection unit.

Huayuankou, 17 kilometers north of Zhengzhou City, Henan Province, close to the south bank of the Yellow River. In the Song Dynasty, a sluice gate was built here to control the water, and then gradually became a village, named Guijiazhuang. The Ming Ministry of Shangshu Xu built a garden here, and the square garden was more than 540 acres. After the river moved south, the village and garden were swallowed by the river, becoming the crossing of the Yellow River, the famous Huayuankou. In June 1938, the Japanese invading army invaded Kaifeng and approached Zhengzhou, and the Kuomintang army collapsed without a fight.

The situation is even greater than the situation in the chapter "53, Thunder and Mountain Flood" in this story, where the flood suddenly flooded the villages and towns of the host country, and it is conceivable that although this move of the Kuomintang temporarily blocked the westward advance of the Japanese army, it caused a serious disaster to the Chinese people. For many years, the people in the disaster area have been in dire straits. It was not until March 1947, after nearly nine years, that the Yellow River was blocked and the river flowed back to its original course. Nowadays, a large-scale electric irrigation station has been built at the mouth of this garden, which washes alkali and changes the soil, so that the sand desert becomes a paddy field.

20 kilometers northwest of Zhengzhou City, there is the site of ancient Xing iron smelting, with an area of 120,000 square meters. Partially excavated in 1965 and 1975. Two large blast furnaces for iron-making have been discovered, the furnace cylinder is oval-shaped, the furnace fireplace base is rammed with black-brown refractory soil, and there are smelting wood remains in front of the furnace and on the side of the furnace. There are nine pieces of iron at the bottom of the furnace, the heaviest of which is 23 tons, and there is a column tumor more than 2 meters high on one side. After restoration, the blast furnace is more than 6 meters and has a volume of 50 cubic meters. There are ore piles, wells, pools, slag smelting areas, etc., as well as air ducts for preheating and blasting, which shows that it is a complete smelting operation system. A large number of complete sets of casting molds and finished iron products have been unearthed near the blast furnace, most of which have the inscription of "Heyi", which can be interpreted as "the first workshop in Henan County". The products are mainly production tools. During the excavation, 14 pottery kilns and ship-shaped pits and other relics related to smelting and casting were also cleaned up. The age of the site is from the middle of the Western Han Dynasty to the Eastern Han Dynasty. The excavation materials prove that it is a government-run smelting and casting joint cooperative workshop, which is of great significance to the study of China's metallurgical history.

These are all historical relics of the ancient city of Zhengzhou, but its history is more than these? However, who knows, what is the Zhengzhou City that Ye Wuwu has heard and seen at this moment?

Yah has walked street after street, all old streets. In the streets and alleys, hotels, inns, incense houses, and tea houses can be seen everywhere. In the end, he chose a restaurant called "Wenhao Hotel" and walked in.

"Lanling wine tulips, jade bowls with amber light. But that the master may be drunk, and he does not know where it is? This is the poet immortal Li Bai's "Journey in the Guest""

"Hmmm! Good! The wine of the King of Lanling really lives up to its name! Just like your name, the incense wafts all over the building. ”

"I have good wine too!" I saw a swordsman in Tsing Yi get up and leave his seat, raise his glass and chant in public: "Grape wine glow-in-the-dark cup, if you want to drink pipa, urge immediately." Drunk and lying on the battlefield, how many people came back to fight in ancient times? This is the "Liangzhou Song" by the Tang Dynasty poet Wang Han. ”

"The world is out of my generation, and it has been destroyed by the years. Wang Tu is talking and laughing, not as drunk as life! When it is a song, it is unforgettable. How to solve the worries, only Du Kang. Come! Drink! ”

"Wenhao Hotel really lives up to its name! What kind of people are these?" thought to him, finding a corner and sitting down. He looked at these people, and saw that they were all dressed in fine clothes and food, with swords hanging on their waists, and their bearings were extraordinary! It looks like a hero party! They all have extraordinary exits, and they must all be famous people who are both civil and military, which is really enviable!
