"Water Classic Note" cloud: Fenjin, also known as Fenjin, is in the southwest of Jiexiu County, commonly known as Sparrow Valley. Sparrow and Rat Valley is located in the southwest of Tang Yi territory. This place is surrounded by mountains in the south and Linfen in the north. The terrain is dangerous, easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is a traffic artery that connects the scales and locks the shadows. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. The fourth chapter of Jiexiu County Records records that in March (665,438+06) of the 12th year of Sui Daye, a rebel army led by Lishan Flying Department besieged Jinyang with 654,380,000 troops. In December, Emperor Yang ordered Tang Yuan to stay in Taiyuan to conquer Zhai Zhen. The two sides met in the valley of finches and rats, and the Zhen army besieged Tangyuan. Fortunately, Li Shimin led a good soldier to open the way and defeated the Zhen army. On the fifth day of July of the following year, Li Yuan set out from Jinyang to fight against Sui, and entered Sparrow and Rat Valley from Xihe (now Fenyang), breaking the old life of Sui Wuyulang in Huoyi. In the second year of Tang Wude, Ding Yang Khan Liu Wuzhou colluded with the Turks to compete for the world from Mayi (now Shuozhou) while the rebels were fighting in various places. When Liu arrived in the state, he sent Huang Ziying, a general, to occupy the Sparrow Valley. Li Shimin soldiers divided into two roads, journey to the south, along the Fenhe River straight for Xiezhou. Sparrow Valley won all eight battles in one day and beheaded more than 3,000 people.

? The scenic spot in Tang Yi is the famous Hongji Temple Tower. Located at the top of Yinzhan Mountain on the west bank of Fenhe River, the tower is a brick nine-level octagonal pavilion. There is a lotus petal base under the first floor, and brick arches are decorated under each eaves. The octagonal pyramid at the top of the tower is pointed, and the pagoda is made of yellow glazed pearls. According to the inscription on Hongji Pagoda in the 18th year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty, the pagoda was built in front of the temple. Now the greening and expansion are opened up as Yindingshan Park.

There is also a beautiful folklore about the construction of the temple tower. It is said that when the tower was built, migrant workers drew water from Fenhe River at the foot of the mountain and transported it to the temple. Because the mountain is high and steep, people are so tired that they can't even provide water for washing and sweating. After hearing this, the monk Tian Shanyou told the migrant workers that you don't have to carry water from tomorrow. I will do this work in the evening. The next day, sure enough, the small pool overflowed on the construction site, and the big pool was full, which happens every day. Some people were surprised. They peeked in the bushes at night and found a white rabbit and a sika deer carrying a big clock on the mountain to draw water quickly. The man couldn't help but let out a cry. The rabbit and the deer were frightened, dropped the clock, left their legs and disappeared. The grass over which the bell rolled grows down the slope every year, so people call this slope a bell rolling slope.

There is a stone arch bridge on the Fenhe River from Tang Yi to Xiaoyi, formerly known as Shitun Bridge, and later changed to Hongji Bridge. According to the records of the old county annals, it was built in the fifth year of Zhengde in Ming Dynasty and rebuilt in the seventeenth year of Wanli. The bridge is 142 meters long, 6 meters wide and 2.5 meters high, with a total of 13 holes, each with a span of 4.0-5.8 meters ... Next to the bridge, there are pavilions of Hongji Bridge and monuments of Jianhe Bridge. Now the Yitanggou River Bridge has been built.
