Where is Wagangzhai now? Who are the five crocks and tigers?

Wagangzhai is located in Anyang, a famous town in Henan Province. The five tigers in Wagangshan are Tong Dan, Wang Xuan, Wang Yong, Xie Ke and You Tong.

Wagangzhai was originally one of the earliest, fastest-growing and most powerful three rebels in the peasant uprising at the end of Sui Dynasty.

In the seventh year of the Great Cause of Sui Dynasty (A.D. 6 1 1 year), Zhai Rang gathered in Wagang Village, which is now south of hua county, Henan Province, and raised the anti-Sui banner. In the first year of Wude (AD 6 18), Shi Mi led his troops to the Tang Dynasty. Before and after nine years, there was an active peasant armed force in the Central Plains, aiming at the Sui Dynasty. This is the Wagang Army led by Zhai Rang and Shi Mi.

Now it is a local tourist attraction, which is very popular every holiday, but most people from Shiliba Village come here to play. Since 2008, the local government has also promoted it accordingly.

Historical source

The word "crock" has a long history. The origin of examinations can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period more than 2,000 years ago. At that time, China was still in the early stage of feudal society, which was also the early period of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. The rulers of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty divided their territories according to their own needs and ruled according to their identities. This is the so-called enfeoffment system.

After a long time, the rulers of the Zhou royal family retreated if they did not advance, and their ruling power gradually weakened, while the local feudal separatist forces became stronger and stronger, giving way to each other. At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, there were many merger wars, and wars were often waged against each other for land and population. Therefore, it often happens that an attacked country turns to a friendly country for help.

According to Zuo Zhuan, in the summer of 502 BC, Qi sent troops to attack the remote places in the west of Lu. Jin Yang led the troops to save Lu, and Lu joined the Jin reinforcements in the depression. Later, in order to commemorate this great meeting, people built a pavilion with bricks on a mound, commonly known as "Watting Pavilion", because it was built on the mound. Since then, people have called this place "crock" for short.
