When it comes to the Grand Canal, the water Silk Road that has lasted for thousands of years, it is necessary to trace back to the roots of Luoyang as the center, connecting the north and south of our country, from the Yongji Canal, Tongji Canal, Shanyang River downstream, by the Yangtze River, Jiangnan River composed of a huge canal water system.

The Grand Canal project has entered a new historical stage, pushing the waterway transportation to its heyday. At the same time, the old road of Hangou is comprehensively dredged, widened and deepened, with a total length of about 300 miles and a water surface width of 40 steps.

Hangou has become a hub for communicating the north-south waterways of the Jianghuai River, so that the grain and materials of the Jianghuai River and the Golden Triangle in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River will be continuously transported to Luoyang, Kyoto through water transportation......

In the first year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Zhu Di of Chengzu sent his cronies and important ministers Pingjiang Bo Chen Xuan to serve as the chief soldier of the superintendent and stationed in Huai'an, specializing in the management of Cao affairs. Huai'an has become a hub of transportation in the north and south, and is one of the four important prefectures on the north and south waters, and the irreplaceable status of Shanyang County makes it famous as a dry Beijing teacher......

In 1506 A.D., the beginning of the sixteenth century began, and a new page was turned in human history. But it is said that one day at dusk, the wind and clouds in the west of Shanyang County changed, and after an inexplicable thunder explosion, but seeing the burning clouds in the west suddenly changed, two green dragons hovered in the west sky, and the lifelike dragons seemed to be about to come to the world.

The vision from the sky frightened the people to the ground, but at this time, there was one person standing out from the crowd, that was Zhou Banxian, the famous Zhou Banxian of Shanyang City, who stood and smiled and watched the changes in the western half of the sky.

Looking closely at Zhou Banxian's crane's childish face, fairy wind bones, and bones are strange, I saw him twist his beard and chant words in his mouth: "Don't be surprised, this is an auspicious omen!" Heaven blesses, and there will be two stars in the treasure land of Shanyang in the near future. ”

"What star? Half-immortal explicitly. Someone glanced at the two swimming dragons with thousands of eyes, and asked boldly.

"Naiwen Qu Xing, Wu Qu Xing is also." After that, he waved the flag and laughed......

There was a vision in the sky, and his subordinates panicked and reported to the county order of Shanyang Prefecture: "My lord, you go out and have a look." ”

"What's the matter, why are you so flustered?" The county magistrate, who was sipping tea in the side hall, asked unhurriedly without raising his head, and concentrated on playing with the purple clay pot in his hand.

"My lord, Wen, Wenqu Xing has descended!" His hand came down to report, and he exclaimed and pointed to the different days outside from normal days.

When the county magistrate heard that the most beloved teapot in his hand fell on the table, he had no time to take care of it, so he hurriedly tidied up his official uniform and looked up.

The spectacle in front of him really stunned him, only to see two cyan dragons soaring through the clouds, and the blazing lantern-like eyes overlooking Shanyang City, and in an instant, the dragon suddenly disappeared with its tail......

Suddenly the sky was dark, a bolt of lightning pierced the darkness, and rumbling thunder came and went, and heavy rain poured down......

The county order is really not to look at it, and it is shocking to see it. In the torrential rain, he ignored the dissuasion of his subordinates and knelt on the ground, and said loudly in the direction of the western sky: "Shanyang County orders to send the divine dragon!" ”

Looking up again, the two dragons rushed towards the north of Shanyang County. Hey, isn't that direction under the Guzhen River? The county magistrate got up and dusted off the rain on his body and said to himself, Shanyang is really going to have Wenqu Xing go down to the earth?

Last night, a torrential rain made the people have a good dream, and the vision of the two dragons appearing at dusk has long been put on the back of their minds, and they are more realistic about firewood, rice, oil and salt. The idea that it is not about oneself has long been ingrained, and it seems that only a person of literature and ink like a half-immortal will be unable to sleep at night.

The next morning, when the fiery sun climbed the treetops, a tight summer breeze greeted us, and the willow trees on both sides of the road knew the sound of summer. The continuous high temperature forced some people to dig wells to cool off, and some sat in groups under the shade of the trees at the entrance of the alley and shook their fans.

Naturally, some people in the streets and alleys talked about the prophecy of the half-immortal, although the half-immortal has always been like a god, but people still believe it, and the two sides of the debate insist on their own words, and they are red-faced......

At this moment, a gong sounded and the county order went out of Shanyang County in an official sedan chair.

He went all the way west to the canal embankment, which was lined with green trees, and suddenly a coolness came into his heart. The water of the canal swirls southward, and boats come and go on the water.

A tow team went down the river, flocks of birds chasing the waves on the river, and the birds on both sides of the river were endless. can't help but remind people of Li Bai's popular poems, the apes on both sides of the strait can't stop crying, and the light boat has passed the Wanzhong Mountain.

Another big ship was going upstream, and the slender men were struggling to move forward, and the hoarse boatman's horn suddenly sounded in Gu Ling's ears: "Hey, hey, hey, hey, toe, toe, toe, to......e, toddle, toddle, to

The slender man who sailed against the current was bare-chested, and five or six men were tanned, and they bowed their heads and bent down to pull the fiber together, and a huge wooden boat chopped the waves.

The sound of the slender man's horn is low but powerful. The sound of trumpets echoed in the bay, startling the birds and cranes......

The county magistrate opened the sedan window, and he looked at the swarthy faces of the slender men, with furrows on their foreheads, and sweat flowing down and hitting the ground.

Xing, the people suffer; Death, the people suffer. The county order secretly worried, and unknowingly the official sedan chair had come to the ancient town of Hexia.

"Get off the sedan chair." The master looked at the royal dock, he smiled and folded the fan and gave a loud command, and the sedan drivers hurriedly stopped the sedan chair.

The county order stands on the embankment and overlooks the east, and the gray walls and tiles, the antique ancient town under the river can be seen. At this moment, the old stone street is full of shouts and sales, and the streets are shoulder to shoulder.

"My lord, watch out for the steps." The master led the way, and he supported the county order to go down the steps.

"It's so slippery!" The county master's feet slipped, but fortunately he was pulled by the master, and he was scared into a cold sweat. The stone slabs under the feet of more than a dozen steps wide are polished by the years and are shiny.

"Fragrant, it's so fragrant!" The county magistrate sniffed the fragrance of fried dumplings in the store, and couldn't stop applauding.

Finally came to the gentle stone street, and the people had already retreated to both sides, consciously giving way to a way. The county magistrate put down his official authority at this moment, and quickly stepped on the blue-blue stone road to the depths of Hexia Street.

Shanyang County ordered to watch the sky, the vivid image of the two green dragons made him sleep, and the next morning he sat in the official sedan chair to trace the ancient town under the river. Stop the sedan car and go down the stairs, step on pieces of bluestone of different sizes, stroll on the streets of the ancient town, and find that the hub status of the ancient town is really indispensable, it is adjacent to the canal, and it is closely related to the millennium Cao Yun, Huai'an Mansion has a long history of millennium Cao Yun.

The lapis slab tells the vicissitudes of the ancient town for thousands of years. The streets are full of century-old style under the river. The industrious and simple people shuttle through the narrow old-fashioned streets, and the atmosphere of life in the market is particularly strong, and the county commander is very happy in his heart, and the people in his jurisdiction live and work in peace and contentment, isn't it a great achievement?
