Ghost Town in Gudong County and the Ancient City of Nanton

The origin of Gudun country

"Gudun Country" of Shangshui

In Ligang Village, Pingdian Township, Shangshui County, people can sometimes find some "ghost tricks" in the wild, also called ant nose money. In fact, these rusty ant noses are telling people the story of an ancient country that is in turmoil.

Gudun Wang Guoxing dates back to the early Western Zhou Dynasty and is located near Pingdian Township, Shangshui County. The site of the ancient city is located in Ligang Village, Pingdian Township, between Khan Lee and Seed Wangzhuang. After the extinction of the Shang Dynasty, he was named a vassal in 1 122 BC, and his closest relative was named in Pingdian Township, Shangshui County. Guo Dun built a city in Khan Lee, which is now Pingdian Township, adjacent to Chen Guo and Shen State.

However, due to the small jurisdiction, the weak country and few people, it has become the target of bullying by powerful countries. From the cultural relics and ancient books unearthed by Zhu Ji in Shangshui, it can be seen that Gu Lun, a nobleman at that time, was married to a nobleman of Chen State. However, marriage diplomacy did not stop Chen Guo's invasion.

Tang Guo was afraid of Chen's strength and decided to take action. They found another place to live south of the ancient water. Therefore, the kingdom of Dun began to send subjects and craftsmen to build a tucheng in the old town of Nanton, Xiangcheng. After the completion of Tucheng, Guo Dun began to move in the dark. They moved dozens of miles southeast of the capital from Ligang Village, Shangdingdian, and moved into the old town of Nantun, Xiangcheng. Because the new relocation site is south of Tanshui and south of the old city, Guo Dun was renamed Nanton.

After the relocation, the old city was occupied by Chen. Bai Yang County was established in the Western Han Dynasty and Jia Zhu in the Eastern Han Dynasty. It was not until the Three Kingdoms period that it gradually declined. The ruins of Tucheng, the ancient city of Guodun in Ligang, gradually weathered into burial, which led to the phenomenon of continuous burial on the eastern slope of Ligang.

When Guodun secretly moved into the sparsely populated area of Nanton ancient town in Xiangcheng, people could not explain it clearly because of the sudden rise of a earthen town, so they called Nanton ancient town a "ghost town". Later, the story of Liu Xiu taking refuge at the meeting was attached, which added a little myth to the old town of Nanton.

The mythical origin of ghost towns

There are many stories about Wang Mang driving Liu Xiu around Xiangcheng, such as Liu Xiu drinking the horse pond, pulling down the well, Liu Xiu running in Happy Valley, the footprints left by Liu Xiu's boots on the ginkgo tree and so on. Ghost Town is related to Wang Mang driving Liu Xiu. Located 2 kilometers northeast of Nanton, there is the "Old Town of Nanton" in the south and the "Light Fog Terrace" in the north. It has been approved as a tourist attraction by the relevant departments of Henan Province, and there is a temple fair every year from the second day of February to the third day of March in the lunar calendar.

At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang pursued Liu Xiu, the leader of the rebel army, day and night in order to maintain the "new" regime. More than 0/00 riders led by Liu Xiu were chased for three days and nights without rest. That night, Liu Xiu and his party came near Nanton, exhausted and unable to walk any further, so they had to stop and have a rest. As soon as I lay on the ground, everyone fell asleep. Tanma reported this situation to Wang Mang hundreds of miles away. Wang Mang ordered his soldiers to catch up, and ordered that Liu Xiu must be caught before the fifth watch.

This shocked the Taibai Venus God. Venus is too white to close her eyes and meditate, but she feels hot and uneasy. When she counted her fingers, she knew it was Liu Xiu, a purple star. When Zixing is killed, Wan Xian will be demoted. He drove Xiangyun to Nantun, called Dongtu, told him to lead his little devil, and gave it to Liu Xiuxiu New Town overnight, asking him to start work in the second watch and finish the fifth watch. As soon as the land is heard, grass grows in the shoes and the feet are useless! So he called in three thousand kids, earth movers, mud movers and mud movers, leaving only a section of the Western Wall unfinished, but these three thousand kids were half dead, and the rest were wobbly and half dead, and could do nothing. The land Lord saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart, thinking: I'm exhausted. Who will be an official? So I had a plan, holding my nose and imitating the cock crowing, "Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang". After the rooster crowed several times, the children thought it was dawn and ran away.

It was only four o'clock when Venus heard the cock crow. Looking around the city again, I saw that the wall had not been completely repaired, so I asked what the land was like. I dare not hide it, so I have to tell the truth. Hearing this, Taibai Venus flew into a rage, kicked the land five miles away and sat there (facing west and north). Since then, there has been no land temple within five miles of Fiona Fang, Southampton. Five miles away from the southeast corner, the earth temple with its door facing north was kicked there by Taibai Venus.

The fifth watch has just arrived, and the East wants to know. Follwed's brigade rushed to Southampton, and from a distance, a new city appeared in the northeast corner of Southampton overnight. The city was full of soldiers guarding the city, murderous and dignified. When follwed thought about it, he knew that God had saved Liu Xiu. Otherwise, how could the city be built overnight? The more he thought about it, the more afraid he became. He quickly ordered the soldiers to retreat 45 miles. Liu Xiucai was able to escape. This is the legend of "ghost repairing the city".
