Cangxian Zhi Cangzhou Legend

On a whim, I saw a certain leisure time looking through hidden old books, and I found all kinds of old books I bought in previous years, one by one. Literature and history knowledge is published once a month. 1983. I didn't have this kind of book when I was a teacher. Only 1983 had this kind of book. But I'm just a hobby and I haven't studied it carefully. Now I reread it, and I really feel an epiphany. The third issue is a special issue of the Qing Dynasty. It is full of historical facts of the Qing Dynasty. There is an article "Local History of Qing Dynasty". After reading the content, I touched the legend I heard before. Write it down. It was about 1930 that the county magistrate at that time began to deal with this matter, and the "gentlemen" in Cangzhou urban and rural areas gathered to start this matter vigorously. But I haven't seen this "ambition". According to my grandfather, it was sold to the official bookstore, and my bookstore also sold part of it. It may be my grandfather, my father, my second uncle and so on. No chance to read. Anyway, we don't have it at home. I seem to have seen it in some places in the future, but it is also incomplete. Maybe it was torn as wrapping paper. When he became a teacher, Yang, a teacher with a big head, talked about Cangxian Record intermittently, and the east sentence was incomplete. Yang is a native of Baitou Village, Dongda County. He is tall and pockmarked. I usually like telling jokes and making "parting". Everyone called him "Yang Cannabis" behind his back. He is a landlord, but he didn't discriminate against him when he was a teacher. At the teachers' meeting in the county, he often goes on stage to tell jokes or sing a Peking Opera. Maybe it was not until 1958 anti-rightist movement that his scenery gradually faded. When we are together, he likes to talk about the past "old things" and show off his "courage" intentionally or unintentionally. His brother's name is Yang Jingfen, and he is also a "celebrity" in Dabaitou and Sixiang. Yang Damazi said that in the past, the four townships in Cangxian County were not called districts or townships, but many castles were set up, and his brother was the "Dong Fort" of Zaoyuan Castle. Zaoyuan Village is to the east of Weathering Shop and to the west of Wanghai Temple. It is puzzling to stand the fort there. As "Dongbao", Yang Jingfen may also be involved in the compilation of county annals. Yang Ma talked about the things in County Records, which was beautiful. In which article did Mr. Lu Xun talk about "China people probably suffer from this' Ten Scenes Disease'? No matter what you write, it adds up to ten. " (To this effect, the original text can't be found. ) Then there seems to be this "Ten Scenes" in Cangxian Annals. I don't remember saying anything about marijuana. There seem to be ten places of interest? What "Dongcheng Iron Lion", "Garden Ink" and so on. "Iron Lion" is located in Dongguan Village. Now, in order to restore its old name, it may be renamed as "Old State". "Garden Ink", Yang Cannabis said in detail, so I still remember. It is said that in a village near Dongguan, there was an old woman whose husband died, her son was lost and she was alone. She only has two acres of garden, planting crops and cabbages for one season every year, suffering from the sun and the moon. Every time the cabbage is cooked, there are "unworthy people" who bully her until no one is old, so they steal vegetables. The old lady angrily went to the county government to complain. The county magistrate was embarrassed when he heard her complaint. Without complaining, she is helpless and pitiful when she is old; Allow it to sigh, can the county government send someone to watch her every day? Helpless, I had to lie to her and say, when your food is almost cooked, dip your brush in ink and splash ink on the vegetable garden. When you see someone selling your food with ink stains, you catch him and I'll make a decision for you! This made the old woman go. As expected, the old woman threw ink stains according to the method, so the county magistrate punished the lawless people who stole vegetables. I don't want to. Every year after the old woman's cabbage grows, there are ink stains on the dishes, which can't be wiped off. This is the origin of "Garden Ink".

Because of the landlord composition of Populus alba, most teachers are somewhat alienated from him intentionally or unintentionally. He's still joking. Not at all. One day, talking about the struggle between the weathering shop and the big landlord, Yang said, "I used to be in the weathering shop, and' Great God' (the nickname of the big landlord Zhu) was also in the same class. It rained one afternoon, and the students gathered on the porch to watch the rain. Zhu shouted,' Don't get off!' The students laughed. But the rain gradually subsided and finally really stopped. A classmate said,' Zhu Moumou shouted really well! Are you a great god? The joke spread and Zhu became a great god. After Zhu inherited his father's business, he still exploited farmers and fishing villages. He often pretends to be a' great god',' who dares not listen to me, I want him to look good!' "Yang said to fight" great god "of that day of, the whole region under the notice. The villages sent people to the weathering shop to attend the meeting. Zheng Yang was in the toilet and came out to ask others, "What's the matter?" He was told to hold a meeting to fight "God". Yang said, "Great! "The feeling of regret, fear and pity is overwhelming. For example, during the "Cultural Revolution", it was just launched, so did Yang Can escape? Many teachers are from nearby villages, and some also attended the struggle meeting of that year. During the conference, someone always took the lead in shouting slogans, "Down with feudal forces! "At that time, the teachers were young and didn't know what' feudal forces' were, so they shouted' the forces that hit the weathering shop'!" For the three-character village name in rural areas, the second word is read lightly, almost no different from the first word. For example, "Wanghai Temple" is called "Wang Si" by villagers, and "Weathering Shop" is called "Fengdian". So "feudal forces" became "feudal forces".

Yang Ma told so many stories about Cangzhou that he couldn't remember them clearly. In the ambiguity, the old state is the "Woniu City" and the new Cangzhou is the "Shamao City". Lying cow city is a lying cow because of its appearance. Legend has it that a foreign army attacked the city in a certain dynasty and could not capture it for a long time. But there was no shortage of food in the city, and things like steamed bread were thrown outside the city to demonstrate. The general who attacked the city was discouraged and wanted to retreat, but an old man with a white beard said, "You don't know the situation. This is a lying cow town. Why not hit the shallow cow nest? " This is an epiphany. At a certain turning point, the city began to decline. "Cow's shallow nest" refers to a depression formed between the hind crotch and abdomen when the cow lies on the ground. "Shamao City" refers to the "Shamao" worn by officials on the stage of the new Cangzhou City. One side is high and the other is low. Now Cangzhou City is such a shape. The north gate and the south gate are in a straight line, while the east gate and the west gate are not in a straight line. After the Japanese occupation of Cangzhou, the new East Gate was opened to align with the West Gate. There is a turning point between Xicheng and Cheng Nan, and a "small south gate" opened at the turning point. The wall between Xiaonanmen and Nanmen is appropriately "shamao" at the turning point from high to low, so it is called "Shantou Bay", which is wrongly called "Grape Bay" by the people.

The south gate of Cangzhou is the most prosperous, especially the small south gate, followed by the west gate. The north gate is the coldest, followed by the east gate. Because Cangzhou moved from the old place to a new place during Chenghua period of Ming Dynasty, it is said that it moved here overnight. The south gate and the west gate have moved away long ago, but it is already dawn and the north gate has been abandoned. Halfway to the east gate, it was dawn. So now the south gate is the busiest. Due to the hasty relocation of the north gate and the east gate, the "Dongguan" village and the "Beiguan" village in the old state were left behind. That was left over at that time.

The canal runs from Cangzhou south to west and north. This canal is a "river on the ground". There is a river bank directly out of the south gate, which is called "Honghaikou" and has a very high terrain. Looking at the embankment at the south gate is like looking up at the sky. As the saying goes, "As soon as the mouth of Hon Hai opens, water goes to the city." It can be seen that the land is high and dangerous. When there was a flood in a certain year, the masses gathered here to defend, and the water potential remained high and precarious. Helpless, this group of people quietly abandoned it and quickly returned to the city to take refuge. At this moment, a woman suddenly appeared on the river bank, dressed in mourning, holding a baby wrapped in red cloth. Everyone was startled and surprised. The women looked at the threat of the river, Xuanmei smiled and threw the baby into the water. The baby was dumb and was swept away by the waves. The woman is gone. The flood waters have receded. Some elderly people in the crowd said, "This is the white man who came to save us!" Bend down and put your hands together in prayer. Since then, this place has been named "Hong Customs". Whenever the flood season is still a dangerous construction site. 1964 hectares, left idle at home for a long time, was introduced to the commune to patrol the embankment. The South Railway Station is on the "Honghaikou". A small hut, two people take turns living. This year, the river has not risen at all. Patrol with masthead lights at night and "pass the sign". From here to the next stop, patrol twice a night based on signs. Nothing happened during the day. So they decided that one person could stay here during the day and the other person could go home. Take turns tomorrow. At night, they are all on duty here. After a month of trouble, the flood season ended and I got a certain salary. I can't remember. So HongHai Mouth left a deep impression on me.

1947 Cang County was liberated. Around this time, some landlords in a village fled to relatives at the junction of Yanshan and Shandong, fearing being beaten. Relatives, however, were helpless. They only cooked him two meals and wandered into the wild depression when they were free, and found that the situation was always avoided. Its location is next to the road leading to the east of Yanshan Mountain, and various long-distance buses pass by every day. At that time, China's cars were looted by warlords, and all countries had brands. There is a shack to repair cars by the roadside. A person is on duty, sitting or lying in the house when he has nothing to do. A landlord accosted and strolled into the house. The mechanic didn't ask his name, so he came to listen. A landlord can sit around and watch him repair the car. After a long time, he can memorize the purpose of each part. One day, a car broke down here, and the driver was in a hurry to find a mechanic. The mechanic didn't see him all day. The driver was so anxious that he asked a landlord to take care of him. One refused to say, "I'm just visiting here, but I'm not good at repairing cars." The driver asks for everything, one has to do it before the car can move! The driver was overjoyed and wanted to know his name, so he had to tell him. After the bus left, I still come here every day to take it to heart. One day, the driver suddenly came to see him, saying that he was from a certain unit of the People's Liberation Army, and the chief ordered him to invite someone. A landlord was frightened and claimed that he was a landlord and could not go to the People's Liberation Army. The driver said, "The chief has orders. No matter what he is, it doesn't matter as long as there is no lawsuit against his life. " A landlord went with the driver. At that time, after liberation, various departments lacked talents, the party's policies were adjusted, and the landlords were not as harsh as in the past. He hides in the backcountry and has no contact with the outside world. He doesn't know these things. He went to the army, became a car mechanic, entered the army according to the rules, and retired home a few years later and became an old worker.

Originally, I wanted to write Cang County Records, but as a result, I turned around and wrote Yang Cannabis Biography. It is not clear whether Cangxian Annals existed in Qing Dynasty. I infer that it is "1930 or so" in the new county annals. What is the reason? Since the Revolution of 1911, the situation has been unstable, and warlords of various factions have been fighting endlessly, even in a small county. It was not until 1929 that Chiang Kai-shek apparently eliminated the warlords and the north and south were "unified". Cangxian county also has a county magistrate sent by the "National Government", and the army on the street is also a "national army". Grandpa said that the marching song sung by the army was "General Nan Zheng is bold and courageous, with a horizontal waist." It's Chiang Kai-shek's team. The county magistrate is called "Li Xuemo", and the market has been generally stable. At this time, it is possible to have the leisure to engage in Cang County Records. I was young when I made it (1934 was born), and I had no idea at all. Yang's father-in-law, Chen Guohou, is a member of Xiu Xian Zhi, so he should be familiar with Xian Zhi, right?
