The legend of Li Guangli, the general of the Second Division.

From folk stories, we can know the cultural background and humanistic feelings at that time.

The following is the legend of Li Guangli, the general of the Second Normal University, which I recommend to you:

"The general's divine power is full of enthusiasm." Twenty Springs, a strange spring and a legendary general are always connected, and they can't be separated after thousands of years. Near the Tibetan Sutra Cave, there is a Dunhuang belonging to the samurai. Through the Millennium, money is coming to us.

According to Er Fu, two books are called Xuanquan, which is located in Xuanquan Valley, 65 kilometers east of Dunhuang. The spring is high on the east cliff, surrounded by many stone gaps, meets the hanging spring, flows northwest for 50 meters, then seeps into the ground and disappears. The water is cool and sweet, and there is nothing more watery than this within a hundred miles. According to Dunhuang suicide note: "Hanging spring water, right in Zhoudong100 C, out of the cliff belly. If you trickle out of its spring, you will die in a mile. ……"

Locals commonly call this spring hanging water, and because it comes from cliffs, it is also called hanging spring. Li Guangli, the general of the Second Division, stabbed the stone into the stream with his sword, so it is also called the Second Division Spring.

The title of the Second Normal University General is closely related to "Bloody BMW".

According to historical records, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent messengers to the Western Region's Dawan (yuān "unjust") country to get a bloody BMW (the so-called "Tianma") and cast a golden horse for the widow of King Wu of Dawan with gold the size of a real horse. I don't want a golden horse, but I don't want a bloody BMW either. I also heard people around me say that the Han Dynasty was far away from Dawan. Even if I didn't give Tianma, the Han Dynasty couldn't help it, so I spoke ill of the messengers of the Han Dynasty. Car swallow not to descend this tone, smashed the golden horse in front of him, and took it away. After his wife's death, he instigated an ambush in the middle of the road, killed his entourage and snatched the golden horse. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty certainly couldn't swallow this tone. He heard that all the good horses in Dawanguo were hidden in the twenty cities, so he named Li Guangli as the "twenty generals" and asked him to take tens of thousands of military forces to attack the twenty cities.

From then on, Li Guangli had the title of "General of the Second Division".

According to historical records, Li Guangli was the eldest brother of Han Emperor Li Furen, that is, his wife and younger brother. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty liked Li Furen, a stunning beauty. With this relationship, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty doted on Li Guangli and gave him the task of conquering Dayuan, which actually gave him the opportunity to make contributions.

"Thorns make spring"

Both Tang Xuanquan's post and Han Xuanquan's residence are named after Xuanquan, but the post address is not in one place. Han Diaoquan is located in the ancient Diaoquan (Ershi Spring), and now it hangs on the water side. Water used to be quite famous, and it was recorded in the Records of Foreign Objects in Liangzhou, Records of Thirteen States, Records of Yuanhe County, Records of Taiping Universe and Dunhuang Suicide Notes.

The staff of Jiuquan Cultural Bureau told reporters that the name "Diaoquan" can vividly reflect that its water comes from rocks and its runoff is thin.

According to the story of Jiuquan, after the victory of Li Guangli's westward expedition to Dawan, 3,000 BMW troops returned to Beijing. When they came to this mountain through Dunhuang, they were exhausted. Coupled with the hot weather, there is no water to drink, and they all fall on the Gobi Desert to gasp. Dozens of miles around are barren, and all the soldiers sent to look for water returned empty-handed. Li Guangli was worried and decided to find water by himself.

When Li Guangli came to Nanshan, he saw that the mountain was bare and the valley was dry. He is not far from the valley, and the cliff blocks his way. I don't know when and who wrote three big characters on the cliff-"Dripping Stone". Li Guangli was furious. He patted the rock and said, "If you throw a stone, you won't see water. It's only a name, and it will destroy our three armies. What's the use of keeping them? " After that, he raised his sword and chopped at the dripping stone hard, only to see the bluestone shaking and sparks shooting; The second sword was chopped off, and the yellow wind was everywhere, and it was dark; The third letter pierced, the mountain cracked and roared, the rock cracked, and a clear spring gurgled out of the blue stone crevice. The three armed forces immediately cheered and rushed to drink. Eat and drink enough to go home. Because the spring has a spirit, there are many people in the water, and there are few people in the water, which can always be satisfied.

People changed the name of the spring to "Ershi Spring" in memory of General Ershi. There is a temple near the spring, named "Temple II", dedicated to the statue of Li Guangli. And set up a post station here for passing troops, businessmen and pedestrians to rest. Later, with the decline of the Silk Road, the camel disappeared all the year round. The ruthless years caused the Ershi Temple and the post station to collapse and eventually became ruins, covered with rubble and turned into a desolate Gobi. I even forgot the name of "Twenty Springs" and called this water Diaoquan. But the clear spring water still flows and never dries up, and there are legends and stories circulating among the people.
