With a history of more than 2,500 years, the Great Wall of Qi is one of the oldest, most intact and largest surface cultural relics in China and a cultural treasure of the Chinese nation. It carries countless historical stories of the golden Goma iron, swords and shadows, killing the sky, bloody battles and touching hearts. In addition to his epic that has gone through vicissitudes of life and filled with smoke, there are countless legends and stories circulating among the people along the Great Wall of Qi. These folk stories are rich in content, simple in writing, touching in plot, fluent in writing and catchy. Some are based on historical facts, rendered into solemn and stirring carols, with mysterious colors, and some are lashed with strong emotions out of hatred for rulers. It not only created lifelike upper-class figures admired by people, but also told vivid folk stories. These folk oral literatures have a long history and have been handed down from generation to generation, creating splendid culture and greatly enriching the cultural connotation of the Great Wall of Qi. Due to the huge number, it is impossible to list them one by one. Now only a few stalks related to the Great Wall of Qi are selected and introduced as follows.

Meng Jiangnv is crying for the Great Wall of Qi.

For thousands of years, on the land of China, the story of Meng Jiangnv crying on the Great Wall has been widely circulated and known to all women and children. But for a long time, the world mistakenly thought that Meng Jiangnu was crying for Qin Changcheng, but she didn't know it was the Great Wall of Qi.

The blank of this story comes from the historical fact that "Qi Liang's wife cries her husband". It was first seen in Zuozhuan Xianggong Ersan (550 BC), when Qi Zhuanggong sent troops to attack the country of Ju. Qi Liang, the pioneer of the Qi army, died in the war with the State of Ju. On the way back to China, Qi Zhuanggong sent troops to meet Qi Liang's wife on the outskirts of Juan and expressed condolences to her. Qi Liang's wife was heartbroken when she learned of her husband's death and refused to accept condolences in the suburbs. Qi Zhuanggong went to Qi Liang's home to offer sacrifices.

During the Warring States Period, Ceng Zi was quoted in Tan Gong, and in this period of history, in fact, the phrase "When you meet a coffin on the road, your wife cries" was added. Chunyu Kun's words are recorded in Mencius under the High Attitude: "The wife of Qi Liang is good at crying her husband, which has become a national style." As a result, the "crying husband" in history became a "sad song" popular song.

Liu Xiang of the Western Han Dynasty said in the Biography of the Woman: "The wife of Qi Liang has no children, and there are no relatives of five genera inside and outside, that is, she will not return. She cried at the foot of her husband's body and was deeply moved. People passing by are crying for it, and 10 city is about to collapse. " At this point, the story evolved from "elegy" to "city collapse".

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a piano song called "Qi Liang's wife sighed", which was said to have been written by Qi Liang's wife.

In the Western Jin Dynasty, Cui Bao wrote in Notes on Ancient and Modern Times: "The wife of Qizhi kept back crying for a long time, and was suppressed by the feeling of the capital of Qi, so she drowned and died." Qi Liang's wife burst into tears and fell down the capital of Qi State.

In the Tang Dynasty, Guan Xiu, a monk, wrote the poem "The Wife of Qi Liang":

Qin has no way, the four seas are dry, and the Great Wall is built to cover North Hu.

Build Wan Li, Qi Liang and Zhen Fu shed tears to Xianglinsao.

There is no father, no husband and no son in the world.

No.1 city collapsed and No.1 Qi Liang bone was unearthed.

Tired souls and hungry souls go home one by one, and a stranger is a teenager.

Guan Xiu turned Qi Liang into a A Qin Dynasty man and built it on the city wall. My wife was in tears in Qin Changcheng. Since then, Qi Liang's wife and Meng Jiangnv, who later evolved, have forged an indissoluble bond with Qin Changcheng.

Since Qi Liang and his wife were both Qi people in the Spring and Autumn Period, it is certainly impossible that the incident happened in Qin Changcheng built by Qin Shihuang more than 300 years later. In fact, Mr. Gu Jiegang, a famous historian, made a systematic study of this as early as 1930s, and wrote a series of articles, such as The Change of Meng Jiangnv's Story and A Study of Meng Jiangnv's Story, and came to the conclusion that it was Qi Changcheng who cried instead of Qin Changcheng.

Meng Jiangnv died in Hongshi River.

There is a great wall village in Wande Town at the junction of Changqing County and Tai 'an, with rolling mountains on both sides of the east and west, and a narrow plain about two miles wide from north to south in the middle. Now beijing-shanghai railway, Beijing-Shanghai Expressway and National Highway 104 pass through here, and the Great Wall of Qi passes through the village from west to east, so it was originally named Great Wall Store. Up to now, the remains of the city walls on both sides of the village are obvious.

It has been a north-south transportation hub since ancient times. There are ancient buildings in the north and south streets of the village, and the tallest building in the center of the street is the "crossing street pavilion", which is an important pass of the Great Wall of Qi. The street pavilion has three floors up and down, with arched stone doors at the bottom. The pavilion is dedicated to the Jade Emperor. You have four stone tablets. The street pavilion was demolished during the Cultural Revolution, and the site can still be identified.

Chongshou Temple is located in the northwest of Jieting, covering an area of 10000 square meters. It is the largest ancient architectural complex. There was no test when it was built, and it was rebuilt during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. There is a complete monument rebuilt in the twenty-seventh year of Qing Emperor Kangxi. Chongshou Temple has a main hall, which is attached to the east and west. There are three bronze statues in the main hall, which are about 3,000 kilograms, and the Lotus Tower is more than one meter high. Eighteen arhats were demolished in the early 1950s, and the main hall building was demolished in the late 1950s. The site of Chongshou Temple was occupied by the school. Now the last monk in the temple is Zhao, and now the school is a bricklayer.

More than 30 meters southeast of the pavilion is Huanggu Courtyard. According to legend, Wanli's sister became a monk here. The villager Zhao Dianyi's family still retains a plaque that rebuilt the Huanggu Courtyard.

There used to be a large-scale "Jiangnv Temple" next to the street pavilion, with three south-facing steps of 19 and a three-step two-hole bridge. There are three coopers surrounded by two sides and more than ten monuments in front of the temple. There is a statue of Meng Jiangnv in the temple, with boys on both sides and a story of Meng Jiangnv painted on the wall. In the late 1950s, the statue in the temple was demolished and turned into a primary school classroom. 1973, demolition of Mengjiang Temple. Fragments of human remains are used as building materials for building wells and houses. Qing Daoguang's "Changqing County Records" quoted "Old Records" to say that the Great Wall: "The county governs 90 miles southeast. It is said that Yunxian County governs Wudaoling, 70 miles south and the Great Wall Shop in the east. The natives built the river Lienv Temple because of the Great Wall. " Mr. Gu Jiegang, a historian, said: "The Great Wall Store from Zhang Xia to Tai 'an Road is the hometown of Jiang Meng, and there is a Jiangnv Temple in it. "

Dashahe River, which originates from the west foot of Mount Tai and flows through the east side of great wall village, has a reservoir, which is called Hongshijiang locally.

Since ancient times, villagers in great wall village have been told that Meng Jiangnv is from this village. When she heard that her husband died on the site where the Great Wall was built, she was heartbroken and cried at the foot of the Great Wall every day, and finally died in Hongshi River. In order to commemorate her touching deeds, the "Jiangnv Temple" was built by the Hongshi River. So far, there are three villagers named Jiang in great wall village who claim to be relatives.

Transfer to Tang Wang

There is a hill in the south of Dachashan, Qishan Township, Anqiu County. There are a pair of stone peaks near the west side of the top of the mountain, just like the entrance to the mountain. There are many round white stones scattered on the green north slope, which look like jiaozi scattered on the hillside from a distance. The local name is "Tang Wang" (Shandong Jiaodong dialect "Tang Wang"). The Qi Great Wall was built on the ridge of this mountain, and the ruins of the collapsed Great Wall are still clearly visible. The origin of the mountain name "Tang Wang" recorded a tragic historical story that was widely circulated in the local area.

According to local legend, Meng Jiangnv's husband applied to build the Great Wall, and Meng Jiangnv often came to give her husband food and clothes. My poor husband works very hard and wants to improve his life. He specially wrapped jiaozi and sent him up the hill with a crock. Into the gate, I can't find my husband anywhere. After repeated inquiries, I learned that my overworked husband had passed away. When the bad news came, Meng Jiangnv, who was heartbroken, immediately fell to the ground and fainted. When the crock was broken, the soup flowed down from the top of the mountain and down a hillside, and immediately turned to stone.

Repair the South Changcheng to stop the flood and the North Great Wall to stop the soldiers.

At Guangli, the starting point of the Great Wall of Qi, and the East Station (Gupingyin), there are ancient stories about building water conservancy and building the Great Wall of Qi, such as "building the Great Wall in the south to resist floods, and building the Great Wall in the north to resist soldiers" and "iron cows climb trees and live everywhere".

It has been handed down from generation to generation here. In ancient times, the Yellow River (water saving) "only protected Hexi, not Hedong", so floods often occurred in Guangli and the east, forming a lake. When the water is heavy, there is a Wang Yang here. Liu, a 74-year-old farmer from Guangli Village, is harvesting the autumn harvest in the field. He said, "There are iron piles on the top of Mashan Mountain to tie the boat cables."

This story tells that the Ji Gu River was blocked by a dam on the west bank, which led to the flooding of the Guangli and Gupingyin rivers on the east bank, and the water level rose to the height of the Mashan Mountain at an altitude of 5 12 meters. If so, let alone Guangli and Pingyin, even Jinan and Tai 'an have been flooded! Of course, this is just a legend.

How can an iron cow climb a tree? It turned out that the child named "Tie Niu" climbed the tree to avoid the flood disaster. Guangli is a big village, so you have to stay here.

In order to prevent the river from flooding, Qi built a dam on the east bank of Jishui, and later developed the dam to the Great Wall for military use. This is the origin of "building the Great Wall in the south to stop floods". "Building the Great Wall in the north to keep soldiers away from thousands of miles away" means that the Great Wall later built in the northern mountainous area was not used to keep water, but was specially used to defend against foreign aggression.

When the Great Wall reached Nail Head Cliff, it dropped 40 miles.

At the northern foot of Mount Tai, at the junction of Changqing and Tai 'an, there is a cliff with an altitude of 800 meters, named "Nail Head Cliff", which is where the Great Wall of Qi passes.

According to legend, when the Great Wall of Qi was built, it was built here because of the steep mountains and cliffs. Not only can building materials not be transported, but it is also difficult to climb up empty. The delay in repairing the city wall annoyed Qi Hou. He beheaded the general who led the team to repair it, nailed his head to the cliff, set an example for others, and threatened the workers to continue repairing the Great Wall. Nevertheless, the Great Wall has never been built, only under the cliff, and there is no wall forty miles east of here. Since then, there has been a legend in the local area that "the Great Wall was built to a cliff and fell forty miles at a time", which has been passed down to this day.

The field investigation also confirmed that there was no masonry wall within 35 miles from Nailou Cliff to Niushankou. However, legends are legends after all. The real reason why the city wall was not built in this section is that the city wall was replaced by a mountain connected with a mountain with an altitude of 800 to 900 meters.

Twelve solar axes rotate.

It is widely circulated among people along the Great Wall of Qi that in order to prevent the invasion of other countries, the State of Qi requisitioned a large number of laborers to build the Great Wall of Qi. At that time, there were twelve sun gear in the sky, and there was only day and no night for 24 hours, forcing laborers to have no time to sleep and rest. The people who built the Great Wall were hungry and tired, which led to death from time to time. After death, the bodies were built inside the wall. This story brings together the hatred of the working people against the rulers regardless of people's lives and is widely circulated.

During the inspection tour of Qi Great Wall, many villagers along the Great Wall reported that in the 1970s, when the Tucheng wall was demolished to build Dazhaichang, human bones were dug up from the wall. According to Lee Seo-Jin, an old man from Guangli Village, Changqing County, he personally participated in the construction of the motor well at Lingzitou, the starting point of the Great Wall, in 197 1. The motor well is 25 meters in diameter and 4 meters in depth. More than 20 human bones were dug up when taking soil.

The story of general Zhang

At the junction of Yishui and Linqu, the original "Chang General Temple" on the north side of Mulingguan has an iron statue of Chang General. On the Great Wall Line, 5.5 kilometers away from Muling Kansai, there is a Weizi Mountain with an altitude of 478 meters. On the top of the mountain, there is the site of "Dianjiangtai", also known as "chopping Jiang Tai". The two sites, Mulingguan and Jiangjiangtai, recorded the same story of the Great Wall of Qi.

Mulingguan area is an important gateway for the southern part of Qi State to attack the hinterland of Qi State. Qi State has built two Great Walls and two passes here to strengthen its prevention. It is said that the credit for this strategic fortress belongs to General Chang.

During the Warring States Period, when General Chang was ordered to build the Great Wall in this area, he advocated building two Great Walls in Shanhe Pavilion and Mulingguan and Daguanguan. General Chang's behavior violated the wishes of the King of Qi, who beheaded him in the name of "repairing the Great Wall by mistake". It's called "chop general" here

Later, Chu really sent troops to attack Qi from here, and it took a lot of effort to kill and kill, and it took more than half of the casualties to break through Muling Pass. When it continued to advance for 5.5 kilometers, it met the Great Wall and the Great Pass. The exhausted Chu army asked the local people, "How many such Great Walls and passes are there?" The answer is: "There are ten such Great Walls!" The Chu army was terrified, afraid to attack rashly again, and retreated.

At this time, the King of Qi realized that it was right to build two Great Walls at that time and regretted killing General Chang by mistake. Ordered the construction of the "Chang General Temple", sculpted the iron statue of the general, and remembered the meritorious service of the general.

The legend of General Yang Ting

Yangting Mountain is located at the junction of Fuguanzhuang Township in Yishui County and Dongguan Town in Juxian County, with an altitude of 3 19.4 meters. The Great Wall of Qi from the west crosses this ridge, heading east1200m, which is the Sanling Mountain where the two Great Walls meet. The Great Wall of Qi entered Juxian County from Sanling Mountain. On the mountain on the west side of Yangting Mountain, there is a "beheading general platform". To the east of Yangting Mountain, there is a village called "Yangguanting Village" in Juxian County. "Yangting Mountain" and "Yangguanting Village" are both named after General Yang Ting.

At that time, the King of Qi ordered General Yang Ting to build the Great Wall. General Yang made full use of the terrain and built a wall along the ridge, making the Great Wall dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack. However, against the wishes of the King of Qi, it was built from Yishan to the sea in the east. So, General Yang Ting was beheaded by the King of Qi in this mountain, and the "general beheading" came from this. Then, the King of Qi ordered another Great Wall to be built on the gentle slope in the south. Later, Chu attacked Qi, first attacking the Great Wall built on gentle ground, and then attacking the Great Wall on the northern mountain, but failed to break it. From then on, the King of Qi realized that General Yang Ting's action was correct. He repented and restored the reputation of General Yang Ting. He named the place where Yang Ting was beheaded as "Tingyang Mountain" and the village where General Yang Ting lived as "Guanzhuang, Yang Ting" as a memorial.

My aunt became a monk.

At the junction of Changqing and Tai 'an, there is a "Great Wall Store", now named great wall village, named after Qi Great Wall passing through the village. There used to be a tall Qi Great Wall on the north-south street in the village, called "Crossing the Street Pavilion". There is a saying in the village that "Nanjing crosses the street to Beijing". There is a temple in the southeast of "Crossing the Street Pavilion" called "Huanggu Courtyard", which is dedicated to the sister of Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty.

At that time, the mother and sister of Emperor Wanli came to Mount Tai to make pilgrimages. When they passed the street pavilion, they suddenly fell off the sedan chair. After the doctor saw it, he said, "Yu Gu can't get married." Wanli's mother wanted her daughter to become a monk here, so she built the "Imperial Court", where Wanli's sister became a monk. From then on, when the ministers of civil and military affairs in past dynasties passed through the "street pavilion", the civilian got off the sedan chair and the military attache dismounted.

So far, the villager Zhao Dianyi's family still retains the remnants of the monument of "Rebuilding the Huanggu Courtyard".

Zhao Kuangyin mulingguan vs Han Tong.

The story of Zhao Kuangyin's war with Han Tong in Mulingguan before he ascended the throne was widely circulated among the people in Yishan area.

At the beginning of starting a business in Zhao Kuangyin, Song Taizu, he led the troops into battle, defended the horse battlefield, and came to Mulingguan, where he met Han Tong, the general of Shouguan in the later Zhou Dynasty, and resisted according to risks. Legend has it that Han Tong was reincarnated as a gibbon, and his arms were no different from those of ordinary people at ordinary times, but his arms could reach more than ten feet in wartime, so he was extremely brave. Zhao Kuangyin has a strong martial arts skill, and once led troops to wage a fierce battle with Han Tong in Mulingguan. However, Lien Chan was defeated, losing ground, and retreating to the pass to have a rest. Tired of fighting for days, I soon fell asleep. The fairy who dreamed of white hair and beard instructed me: "Although Han Tong's arm is long, it has been tied by us. If we fight again tomorrow, Han will capture it. " After realizing this, Zhao Kuangyin lowered his head and said, "If the gods help me, defeat Han Tong and win the world, I will definitely rebuild the temple and shape the golden body." Fight again the next day, and sure enough, Han Tong's arm couldn't stretch any further, and he was captured by Zhao Kuangyin. In order to get revenge, he tied Han Tong's feet, tied them behind a horse and dragged them to the south until he died.

At present, there are three natural villages in Muling Yishui and Guannan: Mazhan, Daotuo and Hanjiaqu. "Horse Station" is the place where Zhao Kuangyin lives and rests; "Daotuo" is the place where Zhao Kuangyin dragged Han Tong backwards; "Hanjiaqu" is the place where Han Tong died.

After Zhao Kuangyin established his rule in the Song Dynasty, he thanked God for his kindness and ordered the reconstruction of Dongzhen Temple and the sculpture of Yishan, which became a much-told story.

Laozi collects herbs and mountains.

At the junction of Zheshan Township and Zhaohu Township in Anqiu County, there is a Yao Yao with an altitude of 495. 1 m. The Great Wall starts from Dingcheng Mountain in the northeast and passes through Yao Yao Mountain to Li Jiading in the southwest. The remains of the city wall are very high.

According to legend, Li Er (commonly known as Laozi), the founder of Taoism in the State of Chu in the Spring and Autumn Period, once collected herbs in this mountain, hence the name "Mountain for Collecting Medicines". There is a huge cave on the northwest side of the mountain, which is said to be the place where Laozi made an alchemy, and is called "Laozi Cave".

There are nearly 100 ancient buildings on the top of the mountain in Yao Yao, with considerable scale. Unfortunately, most of them have collapsed now, but the foundation of ancient buildings is still there. There is only one "Golden Bird Cloud Palace", all made of stones, with a dome structure and two floors, which is relatively well preserved. The upper floor of this palace is dedicated to Laozi, and the lower floor is dedicated to the Jade Emperor. This arrangement is puzzling. Is Lao Zi higher than the Jade Emperor? According to legend, this is because "Laozi comes first, and then there is the sky", so this is the case.

There is a big Lao Tzu village at the foot of Yao Yao Mountain, which is now the resident of Zheshan Township Government. Almost all the more than 4,000 households in the village are surnamed Li. According to Li's genealogy, Lao Zi's descendants have moved here since the Han Dynasty, and Li's family and Lao Zi's descendants still have contacts in Henan and Anhui.

Huanghe Huang Chao Tomb

Huang Chao, a native of Cao Zhou, Shandong Province, was the leader of the peasant uprising in the late Tang Dynasty. In 875 AD, Huang Chao launched a peasant uprising, which broke Guangzhou in the south and took Chang 'an in the west. After 12 provinces, fought for tens of thousands of miles and fought bloody battles 10 years. Later, he was defeated and retreated to Mount Tai, trying to use the danger of the Great Wall of Qi to rally and make a comeback, and finally committed suicide in the Wolf and Tiger Valley of Laiwu.

There is a mountain at the junction of Wande Town in Changqing and Dao Lang Town in Taian, with an altitude of 628.8 meters. The Great Wall of Qi starts from Jiashan in the west and passes through Shandong to Wuhuayan Mountain. According to legend, at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the peasant uprising army led by Huang Chao was chased by loyalists, and it was routed and camped in this mountain. Huang Chao Village, hence the mountain name.

There are "astronomical phenomena" and double mountain gates in the west of Zhaizhai, Huang Chao. There is a platform in the north, and a flat ridge mountain of more than 500 meters in the southeast, which is called "Happy Valley" locally, that is, the place where Huang Chao's troops compete and train. Wande at the northern foot of Huang Chao Village has villages such as Shangying and Xia Ying, and there is also a village called Stone Hutong, formerly known as Shizhai City. It is said that officers and men of the Tang Dynasty were stationed and engaged in battle when they besieged Huang Chao village.

There is a ladder mountain at the boundary between Licheng No.6 Department and Tai 'an Xiagang, and the Great Wall of Qi running southwest and northeast runs along this ridge. In the sixth part of Licheng, Yin Shan, there is a gently ridged Paomaling (now Jin 'an Wildlife Park) about 4 kilometers long, and there is Huang Chao Village to the west of Paomaling. Legend has it that Huang Chao was stationed here and practiced martial arts. There are eight acres of land in Anxiagang Village, Yangshantai, and Huang Chao's Tomb in the south of the village, which is 27 meters from north to south, 0/4 meter from east to west and 6.25 meters high. According to local legend, when Huang Chao was defeated and fled, his hat ran away. In order not to let the chasing officers get the hat, the soldiers hid it and later buried it here. So Huang Chao's tomb is actually the cenotaph of Huang Chao. There are several villages named after Huang Chao: Bandaojing Village is thirsty because of Huang Chao's defeat, but it is a godsend well, but it can't be reached by horse. The soldier pulled down the front leg of the horse, which was convenient for Huang Chao to scoop water, so it was named Peninsula Well Village; The legend of the name Xianggouzhuang is to blow the morale of the Huang Chao army. Tang Xizong personally inscribed the plaque of "Jiangkouzhuang" and hung it on the locust tree at the head of the village, but it was secretly changed to "Xianggouzhuang" by the people, which brought good luck to Huang Chao, so this village was called Xianggouzhuang. Jiaojiayu is the homonym of "Valley of Armor", which is said to be Huang Chao's armor building. Lamayu was named after Huang Chao, who was closed to the outside world and was exhausted at that time, pulling a horse through here.

Ancient and Modern Battlefield City Top Mountain

There is a mountain at the junction of Qu Hui, Baoquan and sanxiang town in Anqiu County, which is named "Dingcheng Mountain" because of the Great Wall at the top. The mountain strikes northeast and southwest, with a length of more than 2,800 meters and a width of 1.700 meters. The mountain is 446 meters above sea level and its top is flat. The Great Wall came here from the peak in the northwest through Wang Junding, and turned south on the mountain.

Since ancient times, this mountain has been a battleground for military strategists. Up to now, there are not only round city walls built with massive basalt in the cold weapon era, but also stone blockhouses used in modern wars, and even rare ones that hollowed out the middle of ancient city walls for large-scale fortifications. The walls here are vertical and horizontal, and military facilities are everywhere. It has become a museum of military facilities.

It is said that when Qi Xuanwang built the Great Wall here, he adopted Sun Bin's tactics and built the Great Wall into a "maze" with hidden mysteries. Once the enemy breaks in, he will lose his way, born to die. By the time of the Tang Dynasty, the Anlushan Rebels camped here, were chased by Marshal Guo Ziyi, fled in a panic, and died after straying into the maze.

1943, the patriotic general Yu Xuezhong led the former Kuomintang 51st Army to fight fiercely for seven days and nights, broke through the encirclement of the enemy, bloodied the city top, annihilated more than 1,000 Japanese aggressors and fought bravely against them. This epic heroic deed has been widely celebrated among people so far.

In the south of Qinglong Bridge near Badaling Great Wall and north of Juyongguan, there is a place called "Turtle Head", which is extremely dangerous. It can be said that "one person guards it and ten thousand people can't force it", which is one of the 72 scenic spots in Guangou. Formerly known as "Luanbeigou". It is said that Judy, the prince of Yan, swept across the north and led hundreds of thousands of soldiers, invincible all the way. But after Juyongguan, it was stopped at the gate of "Luanchaigou". The Ming army paid a great price, but they didn't break after attacking for dozens of days. The prince was very angry. Just when they were at their wits' end, someone suggested, "Five firemen's brothers, namely Ren, Yi, Li, Zhi and Xin, were once small leaders of the Yuan Dynasty. They are unique in firing artillery, so they can be invited to help. " Soon, the prince hired Taishan, the five brothers of the Huo family, to work for him. A few days later, the Huo brothers came to the front line with cannons and gunpowder, inspected the terrain and aimed at the target. These five Khodorkovsky brothers are worthy of being gunners. Every shell flew to the position of the Yuan Army, and all the shells were fired. Only in a short time, the defense line as solid as an iron wall was destroyed by artillery fire, and the soldiers of the Yuan Army suffered heavy casualties, and the rest abandoned the customs and fled. The prince led the army to pursue victory and successfully occupied the "Luanchaigou" pass. The five Huo brothers made great achievements, but it was only a short-lived glory. Later, when the prince became emperor, he was uncharacteristically uneasy about the five brothers of Huojia, thinking that they were really unreliable. If they change their minds and rebel, they won't take away the world I laid. So when we decided to eradicate them, we framed them as "spies", arrested them and beheaded them all on trumped-up charges such as rebellion, and hung five heads in Luanchaigou for public display. This move aroused people's indignation and accused the prince of being heartless. The voice of resentment soon reached the prince's ears, and he was deeply afraid of the people's rebellion. In order to win the hearts and minds of the people, he named the five Huo brothers "the Five Ghosts God of Wealth" and set up a "Five Ghosts God of Wealth Temple" in the west of Guan 'gou Stone Buddha Temple to burn incense for generations. The "turtle head" got its name from this. Later generations thought the word "ghost" was unlucky, so they changed it to "five ghost heads". Now, on the rock wall at the entrance of the old Beijing-Zhangjiakou railway, you can still see the three characters of "Five Ghost Heads".
