Legends about the Great Wall?

To the south of Qinglong Bridge and north of Juyongguan near the Badaling Great Wall in Beijing, there is a place called "Wuguitou", which is described as extremely dangerous. It can be said that "one man can guard the pass, and ten thousand men cannot open it". It is Guangou One of the seventy-two scenes. It was originally called "Luan Bei Gou". Legend has it that Zhu Di, the king of Yan, swept north and led hundreds of thousands of troops. He was invincible along the way. However, after passing Juyong Pass, he was stopped at the "Luan Chai Gou" pass. The Ming army surrendered for a long time. The cost was high and the attack failed for dozens of days. King Yan was very angry. When he was at his wits' end, someone suggested: "There are five brothers of Ren, Yi, Li, Zhi, and Xin of the Huo family nearby who were small leaders in the Yuan Dynasty and had the unique skill of firing artillery. They can be invited to help in the battle." Soon, King Yan then hired the five brothers of the Fire clan, Taishan, to serve him with great courtesy. A few days later, the Fire brothers brought cannons and gunpowder to the front of the battle formation. They took a good look at the terrain and aimed at the target. The five brothers of the Fire Clan were worthy of being expert artillerymen. Cannonballs flew towards the Yuan army's position, and every shot was fired without missing a beat. In just a short time, the iron wall of defense was destroyed by the artillery one by one. The Yuan soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and the remaining Abandoned the pass and fled. King Yan led his army to pursue the victory and successfully occupied the "Lanchaigou" pass. The five brothers of the Fire clan achieved military exploits, but they only gained short-lived glory. Later, when King Yan became the emperor, he was uncharacteristically worried about the five brothers of the Huo family, thinking that they were really unreliable. If they changed their minds and rebelled, and aimed their cannons at me, King Yan, wouldn't the world I conquered be taken away by them? Therefore, they decided to eradicate them, and framed them as "spies" and wanted to commit treason and other groundless charges. They were arrested and beheaded, and five of their heads were hung in Luanchaigou for public display. This move aroused the indignation of the people, accusing King Yan of being lawless and ungrateful. This voice of resentment soon reached the ears of the King of Yan. The King of Yan was deeply afraid of the people's rebellion, so in order to win over the people, he named the five brothers of the Fire family the "Five Ghost Gods of Wealth" and established them west of the Guangou Stone Buddha Temple. Visit the "Five Ghosts Temple of Wealth" to enjoy the incense from generation to generation. "Five Ghost Heads" got its name from this. Later generations thought that the word "Ghost" was unlucky, so they changed it to "Wu Guitou". Today, you can still see the carved words on the rock wall at the entrance of the old Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway Cave. "Wuguitou" has three big characters.

It is the world-famous Great Wall. The legend that Meng Jiangnu traveled thousands of miles to find her husband and brought him cold clothes, and cried down the Great Wall for 800 miles, happened at that time.

In ancient times, Old Man Meng and Old Man Jiang were neighbors, separated only by a wall. One spring, Old Man Meng planted a gourd seed in his yard. After careful cultivation by watering and fertilizing, the gourd seed grew tall and fat. It climbed over the wall and formed a large gourd seed in Old Man Jiang's yard. The gourd weighs dozens of kilograms. When the gourd was ripe, Old Man Jiang took a knife to cut it open. Suddenly he saw a white, fat, and very cute girl lying inside. Old Man Jiang looked out with joy and ran to tell others. After hearing about it, the villagers came to watch one after another. This was new, but the two old men Meng and Jiang had conflicts because of it, and they had a heated argument. Old Man Meng said very firmly: "I planted this gourd myself, and the fat girl should be mine." But Old Man Jiang said stubbornly: "This gourd was planted in my yard, and this girl should be mine." After three days and three nights of quarreling, there was no solution, and no results were achieved. Later, the villagers mediated and concluded that the baby girl belonged to the two families, and they lived in turns and were raised by both families, and they were given the name of "Meng Jiangnu". name.

Time flies, the sun and the moon fly by, and more than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. The elders of the Meng and Jiang families have chosen a son-in-law named Fan Qiliang for their grown-up daughter Meng Jiang. They have chosen a good and auspicious day to get married. . Something unexpected happened. On the wedding day, the bridegroom and the bride were about to pay their respects. Suddenly, several government servants burst in from outside the door. They swarmed up and took the groom Fan Qiliang away as a civil servant.

It turns out that at that time, Qin Shihuang dispatched a large number of civilians across the country to build the Great Wall and worked hard day and night. Countless civilians were exhausted and starved to death. In order to speed up the project, they arrested people everywhere. The civilian husband added that Fan Qiliang was also assigned to serve as a civilian husband to build the Great Wall.

A year passed in the blink of an eye, and there was no news from Fan Zaliang. Meng Jiangnu was so anxious that she couldn’t eat or sleep. She didn’t know what to do. After discussing with the elderly from the two families, she decided to find her husband and vowed to She will never go home unless she can find her husband. She packed up dry food and special warm clothes for her husband and hit the road. Along the way, they were exposed to wind, rain, sun, cold, hunger and cold, and the journey was difficult. After many difficulties and dangers, they finally found the place where the Great Wall was built. After asking about it, they found out that many people had died to build the Great Wall. My husband Fan Qiliang died of exhaustion long ago and was buried under the Great Wall. His bones were never found. This news was like a bolt from the blue. Meng Jiangnu immediately began to cry sadly. Her tears were like springs and her voice was like thunder. She cried so loudly that the sky was dark and the earth was dark. She watched sections of the Great Wall collapse. She cried wherever she went, covering a distance of eight hundred miles. long. The project manager was so anxious that he hurriedly reported to Qin Shihuang, who was here to inspect the progress of the project. Qin Shihuang hurriedly went to see Meng Jiangnu to find out the reason. As soon as he saw her, he was fascinated by her beauty and insisted on naming her "the Empress of the Palace". Although Meng Jiangnu was full of anger, she still suppressed the hatred in her heart. She had an idea and decided to make Qin Shihuang agree to her three conditions in order to become the "main palace empress". First, the body of her husband Fan Zhaliang must be found; secondly, a state funeral must be held for her husband; thirdly, Qin Shihuang must bury Fan Zhaliang in mourning and with banners.

After listening to the three conditions put forward by Meng Jiangnu, Qin Shihuang thought for a moment, and in order to get the beautiful Meng Jiangnu, he agreed bravely. After Meng Jiangnu wore a filial piety and paid homage to the tomb of Fan Zhaliang, who died for building the city, her long-cherished wish was fulfilled and she faced the rolling tide. of the Bohai Sea, jumped into the sea and committed suicide.

The story of Meng Jiangnu crying at the Great Wall was soon spread by people. To commemorate her, people built a tomb and a temple for her on a hill near Shanhaiguan, and named it "Jiangnu Temple" ". The story of Meng Jiangnu searching for her husband for thousands of miles and bringing him cold clothes and tearing down the Great Wall for 800 miles is a well-known story that has been passed down to this day.

With the support of Tan Lun, he personally planned and supervised the construction of the Jinshanling Great Wall (located in Luanping County, Hebei Province) . This section of the Great Wall has a unique structure. The city wall is based on huge stone strips and is wrapped with bricks. At the eastern end of the Jinshanling Great Wall, on Tiger Mountain, which reaches into the clouds, there is a Wangjing Tower, located on the top of a thousand-meter-high mountain. There are cliffs on both sides of the tower, and people can only climb up through the cracks in the rocks. It is said that when it was built, many people were killed and injured trying to transport the stones, but the stones still could not be transported up. This incident moved the Jade Emperor, and he immediately sent his nephew Erlang Shen to transport the stone. That night, Erlang Shen came to the foot of Tiger Mountain and saw piles of rocks piled there. He then swung his magic sword and immediately turned it into a mountain whip. He whipped the rocks with his mountain whip and shouted "change" at the same time. The rocks immediately turned into big goats and went straight to the top of the mountain. When he reached the top of the mountain, he counted them. No more, no less, just enough. At this time, a soldier was urinating at the tent. Suddenly he saw Erlang Shen driving sheep, and he screamed and ran back. Erlang Shen was also startled when he heard someone shouting. He kicked dozens of rocks down the mountain and landed in the east mountain col. Erlang Shen immediately jumped into the sky. In this way, dozens of stones were missing for the construction of Wangjing Tower. Now when you climb up to Wangjing Tower, you will see that five of the twelve floors of foundation stones at the bottom of the building are made of gravel. The rocks kicked down the mountain by Erlang Shen are still piled in the mountain col. The locals call this mountain col Tiaoshi Col.

Speaking of the name "Wolf's Den", there is an interesting legend. A long time ago, there was a serious water shortage in the west area of ??Beijing. It was difficult for trees and grass to grow. The barren mountains and barren land were not harvested for ten years. The people lived in extremely poverty for generations. After the Jade Emperor learned of this situation, he sent a "fairy pig" down to earth to open a river and divert water to relieve the suffering of the people. This fairy pig is surprisingly big, like a mountain, with a body length of thirty-three feet three inches and a head three feet three feet three inches long. Even the pig's teeth are three feet three inches three inches long. The fairy pig started working after being ordered to descend to the earth. When it arched to the left, the mountain collapsed, and when it arched to the right, the ground cracked. A wide and deep river immediately appeared under its feet, and the rolling water surged forward along the ditch. The fairy pig kept arching forward. Seeing that it was approaching Juyong Pass, the Great Wall was lying like a giant dragon on the high mountain in front. The fairy pig stopped and looked around to see mountains. Where should it arch? When he was in trouble, an old man came from a distance. The fairy pig hurriedly asked the old man: "Old man, where is the place ahead?" When the old man saw the river behind the fairy pig, he immediately understood. This pig is arching the earth to clear a path. If it is allowed to arch forward, the Great Wall will be destroyed. Besides, after Juyong Pass, go east along the Guan Gou, and you will see a flat river, approaching the city of Beijing, and a flood. If they go down the mountain, not only will thousands of hectares of farmland be washed away on the plains, but even the city of Beijing will not be able to be saved and will be flooded. I had to think of a plan to stop this pig from arching forward. I frowned, and the plan came to my mind, and I said to the fairy pig: "In front of you is the "wolf den". There are three hundred and thirty three big wolves, who specialize in eating pig heads." and pork, and there are three hundred and thirty-three little wolves, which specialize in pig offal, heart, liver, and lungs. These days, these wolves are howling and howling, which can be heard from three to five miles away. If you go there. You must be careful before moving forward." After hearing what the old man said, the fairy pig was frightened and thought, I am really lucky to have met this old man, otherwise I would have fallen into the wolf's den. I can't even save my life. I simply changed my route and headed south. "The river it arched out is the "Yongding River" more than 30 miles west of Beijing. When the old man saw the fairy pig walking away, he breathed a sigh of relief and laughed happily. Because of a few words of the old man The Great Wall was saved and the city of Beijing was not flooded. Later, people named the place where the old man and the fairy pig met "Wolf's Nest".

It has deep roots and lush leaves, covering the ground with thick shade. There is also a legend about this ancient willow tree. It is said that during the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, after Zuo Zongtang was ordered to lead his army to quell the unrest, he came to Jiayuguan and saw a desolate scene on the Gobi Desert. There was nothing but sparse camel grass. , which made him deeply moved. Since most of the people led by Zuo Zongtang were from Hunan, they were forced to stay away from their beautiful hometown and came to this vast barren land, so Zuo Zongtang deserted one after another. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, a series of measures were immediately taken: ordering all soldiers to widen the road, and deciding to plant a large number of trees on the roadside, and formulated strict laws to ensure the survival of the trees. After a few years, this area has become full of willows. Shade, the trees are in rows.

Later, a literati once carved a poem on a willow tree: "The general refused to return the edge, and the descendants of Hunan and Hunan were all over the Tianshan Mountains. Three thousand new willows were planted for three thousand miles, attracting the spring breeze to Yuguan." It is said that near the Jiayuguan Pass, people say This ancient willow was planted at that time, so it was called "Zuogong Willow". Author: ~~Longying~~ Release date: 2005-3-31 Near Jiayuguan, Gansu, there is a white stone for drying sutras. Legend has it that this is the place where Xuanzang dried sutras. It is said that in the Tang Dynasty, Xuanzang, Wukong, Bajie, and Sha Monk, four masters and disciples, went through untold hardships and traveled long distances to obtain scriptures from India. They broke through the Flame Mountain, crossed the Shule River, and came to the Hexi Corridor. On this day, the weather was extremely hot. The sun was blazing, burning like fire. The endless Gobi Desert was so hot that there was no place to hide. The rocks were baked so hot that it seemed like fire was falling from the sky. Xuanzang rode in front, with three disciples. Carrying the scriptures on their backs, they followed closely behind. After only a few steps, they were all covered in sweat from the scorching sun, their lips were dry, their faces were red, and their ears were red. Zhu Bajie couldn't bear it anymore, so he begged his master: "It's going to be so hot today, it's not too late to find a shade of a tree to rest before going on the road." After hearing this, Xuanzang immediately scolded: "This Gobi wasteland is thousands of miles away, and there is not even a single blade of grass." They don’t even grow. Where are the trees? It’s better to hurry up!” Bajie had no choice but to pout his mouth and rush forward breathlessly. As he walked, he looked up at the sky and saw only a trace of clouds in the sky! No, I said by the way: "It would be so nice if it rained now." Unexpectedly. As soon as he finished speaking, dark clouds gathered, lightning thundered, and heavy rain poured down. The four masters and disciples were soaked in the water, and the scriptures were all soaked. After the weather cleared, Xuanzang hurriedly ordered Wukong to explore the road and find a good place to spread out the scrolls to dry. Wukong somersaulted up into the clouds and found a dark black stone mountain not far away. After asking, he learned that this mountain was called Dongting Mountain. Wukong quickly took his master to the mountain. Xuanzang was very satisfied with it. He pointed at a big black stone and said, "This stone is a good place for drying sutras. You should quickly open the sutras, spread them out to dry, and tell Bajie Guard the scrolls and make sure there are no mistakes. "Soon, the scrolls were dried, and the four masters and disciples hurriedly packed them up and prepared to go on their way. Unexpectedly, a few of them were stuck tightly to the stone and could not be removed no matter how hard they were peeled off. I had no choice but to copy it on other paper. Soon, the black stone that had been dried and scrolled suddenly turned white. From then on, people called this stone as white as jade the "Sutra Drying Stone". From then on, this folk legend spread. Author: ~~Longying~~ Release date: 2005-3-31 In the early Ming Dynasty, in order to consolidate the defense line in the northwest, Zhu Yuanzhang sent General Feng Sheng to garrison in the Hexi Corridor, and prepared to select a site to build a pass there to prevent Invasion of the Mongolian Wasi Tribe beyond the Great Wall. Feng Sheng inspected everywhere, looking for the pass site, and finally decided to build a grand pass on Guigai Mountain. He quickly invited skilled craftsmen to lay wires and nail stakes on the mountain, preparing to break ground the next day. Unexpectedly, Feng Sheng came to the construction site early the next morning and found that the wires and piles on the ground were gone. While he sent people to search everywhere, he called the soldiers on duty last night to inquire. The soldier on duty reported: "When I was on duty last night, I never closed my eyes. At the fourth watch, a strong wind suddenly blew, making the sky and the ground dark. After the wind stopped, I saw that the lines and piles on the ground were gone." At this time, , the soldiers who were looking for threads and stakes elsewhere came panting and reported: "The lost threads and stakes have been found on the Jiayu hillside to the north of the narrow valley." Feng Sheng ran there suspiciously and took a look. The stakes and threads Nailed neatly on the hillside, I was really surprised. I calmed down and took a closer look at the terrain here: I saw the snow-capped Qilian Mountains in the south, the continuous Mazong Mountains in the north, the vast Gobi Desert in the west, and the oases in the east. There are gurgling streams of spring water. At the foot, the mountain is flat and there is fifty acres of land in the area. If a pass is built here, it is close to mountains and rivers, and is in a condescending position. It can be attacked when advancing and defended when retreating. It will be as solid as gold. Thinking further, the original location was Guigai Mountain, which is the lower reaches of the Tuolai River. In summer, due to the massive melting of snow in the Qilian Mountains, floods rushed through, which would wipe out the entire army. The more I thought about it, the more fortunate I became, "God really helped me change the location of the customs." Feng Sheng immediately reported to the emperor, and then a large-scale construction project was carried out to build a 220-foot-long Jiayuguan City.

According to legend, the relocation of Guancheng was entirely due to the guidance of Guan Yunchang. In order to commemorate him, the people built a "Guandi Temple" in Guancheng. The temple consists of a main hall, side halls, pavilions, archways, etc., covering an area of ??more than 720 square meters, and is very magnificently built. In order to show their piety, many people also voluntarily raised funds and donated money to buy an orb and embedded it on the top of the hall. From then on, the orb radiated dazzling light day and night. One evening, the sky suddenly became dark, with black clouds, lightning and thunder. The people in the city were terrified and ran out of their homes to watch. Suddenly, they heard a deafening loud noise and suddenly saw two giant dragons flying in the air, flying into the Guandi River. The temple will never come out again. The next day, after the rain and the sky cleared, people came to Guandi Temple to take a look. On both sides of the top of the hall where the pearls were placed, there were two giant dragons, which were lifelike and formed a "picture of two dragons playing with pearls". This myth and legend has been passed down to this day.

Caravans transporting jade from Khotan on the border to the Central Plains must pass through this place. The terrain here is very complex: swamps, ravines, forests, and overgrown weeds.

Whenever caravans transporting jade are on the road in hot weather, they always like to cool off at night to avoid heatstroke during the day. Therefore, whenever the horse team comes here, it is always dark and it is difficult to discern the direction. Even the old horses that often go back and forth on this road will get dizzy and have difficulty knowing the way. This is how the name "Ma Mitu" is called.

There is a caravan that specializes in selling jade and silk. It travels on this road all year round and often gets lost in the "Ma Lost Road". Once the caravan got lost as soon as it entered the "horse lost road". When people were extremely anxious, a lone goose suddenly fell not far away. A young man in the caravan quietly caught the wild goose. He was kind-hearted and held the goose in his arms, preparing to take it out of the "horse straying" and then let it go. After a while, I saw the wild goose crying to the young man with tears in his eyes: "Gulu Gulu, give me some food. Gulu Gulu, it will help me get lost." After hearing this, the young man suddenly realized that the wild geese fell behind because they were too hungry to fly. , he immediately took out his own dry food and water to let the geese eat to their full. After the geese were full, they flew up into the sky and circled continuously, leading the caravan out of the "horse lost path" and successfully arrived at its destination, Xiaofangpan City. After a while, the caravan lost its way again in "Ma Mitu". The wild goose flew up again and shouted in the air: "Gulu Gulu, the caravan is lost. Gulu Gulu, the square plate is inlaid with jade." While shouting Flying, leading the caravan out of the way again. Only the young man who rescued the wild goose understood what the wild goose said, and told the boss of the group: "The wild goose asked us to put a piece of luminous dark green jade on the small square city. From now on, when the caravan has a goal, it will never go back again." You won't get lost." After hearing this, the boss made a mental calculation. A piece of luminous dark green jade was worth several thousand taels of silver. He was really reluctant to part with it, so he didn't agree.

Unexpectedly, the next time the caravan lost its way in "Malostou", and could not find water for several days, the camels were panting with thirst, everyone's mouth was dry, and they were so thirsty that they could not walk. , his life was in danger. At this moment, the wild goose flew over again and shouted in the sky: "The caravan is lost, the square plate is inlaid with jade, and the black jade will never lead the way." After hearing this, the young man hurriedly told the boss, who Panicked, he asked the young man what he should do. The young man said, "Kneel down quickly and swear to the wild goose: 'You will definitely set it with jade and you will never break your promise.'" The boss immediately followed the young man's advice and knelt down to the wild goose. The wild goose swore, and after hearing this, the wild goose spun in the air for a moment, leading the caravan out of the "horse astray" again, and the caravan was saved. After arriving at Xiaofangpan City, the boss no longer dared to love money. He immediately picked out the largest and best piece of luminous dark green jade and set it on the top of the Guan Tower. Whenever night falls, this piece of jade will emit a dazzling light. , it can be seen clearly from dozens of miles away. The passing caravans have a target and will no longer get lost. From then on, Xiaofangpan City was renamed "Yumen Pass". In fact, Yumen Pass was built during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Because it was an important transportation route from my country to the Western Regions in ancient times, Khotan jade imported from the Western Regions entered the pass here, hence the name.

The legendary "city brick". According to legend, in the first year of Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty (1506), in order to strengthen the defense of the northwest, the Ming Dynasty sent Li Duancheng, deputy military commander, to preside over the construction of the Jiayuguan gate and towers. The captain in charge of the construction is called Hao Kong. He was usually cruel and cruel, often killing craftsmen. Among the craftsmen who built Guancheng, there was a master named Yi Kaizhan, who had outstanding skills, rigorous design and structure, beautiful shape, very strong, and used materials sparingly and accurately. Before the construction started, Hao Kong asked Yi Kaizhan domineeringly: "How many bricks are needed to build this pass?" Yi Kaizhan replied confidently: "I have already calculated it. It will cost 999,000 per year." One thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine bricks." After hearing this, Hao Kong sneered and said, "I will give you all the bricks you need. Even if there is one more or one less, I will chop off your head and punish you. Each of the craftsmen worked hard for three years. "Yi Kaizhan showed no fear, so he led the craftsmen to step up the construction. After hundreds of days and nights of hard work, Guancheng was finally completed, and the craftsmen were extremely excited. Unexpectedly, a craftsman hurriedly came to Yi Kaizhan with a remaining city brick in his hand, and poured cold water on everyone in public. It happened that Hao Kong rushed over at this time and shouted to Yi Kaizhan at the top of his lungs: "Why didn't you calculate accurately? If you have this extra brick, I will behead you tomorrow." Yi Kaizhan didn't have any idea at all. He was frightened and said flatly: "This brick is the brick that anchors the city. If we remove it, the whole city will collapse in an instant!" Hao Kong was so frightened that he ran away in despair. Later, people called this brick "Dingcheng Brick" and placed it on the back eaves of the Xiweng City attic, which was hard to come by, as a memorial to the hard-working craftsmen. Author: ~~Longying~~ Release date: 2005-3-31 About 20 kilometers west of Jiayuguan, Gansu, there is a place called "Shuangjingzi City". There is a beautiful legend-----"Mulan Arrow". Legend has it that a long time ago, there was a pasture with rich water and grass, and a little girl named Xiao Gamei herded sheep here every day. One afternoon, the sun was setting and the sky was filled with colorful clouds. When Xiao Gamei was preparing to drive the sheep home, she suddenly saw a wooden arrow as thick as a bowl and as long as a spade stuck sideways on the ground. The red lacquer arrow sparkled in the setting sun. Xiao Gamei was surprised and happy, and prepared to pull out the arrow, but she tried all her strength and failed to move the arrow at all. Seeing that it was getting late, Xiao Gamei had no choice but to give up and put many stones around the arrow as a mark, preparing to strike the arrow with her friends the next morning.

Early the next morning, when Xiao Gamei brought her friends to look for the arrow, not only could they not find the wooden arrow, but even the marking stones were gone. Xiao Gamei secretly determined to find the magical wooden arrow. From then on, besides herding sheep, Xiao Gamei never forgot to look for arrows. One day he drove the sheep to a small stream and saw a gray-haired old man building a wall with soil on his back. Xiao Gamei stepped forward and asked why. It turned out that the old man was building a city to protect a magical arrow, and told her the origin of this magical arrow: a long time ago, there was a heroine named Hua Mulan who guarded the border. She was highly skilled in martial arts and He is good at shooting arrows. There are three red-painted arrows in the arrow pot, which people call "Mulan Arrows". One year, the Hun nobles in the north launched a war and declared that they would fight to the death with Mulan. General Mulan responded calmly: "As long as you retreat a stone's throw away from me, I will fight you." The enemy general thought that the stone's throw away was only twenty or thirty feet away, so there was no harm, so he agreed. . As he finished speaking, General Mulan took out an arrow and put it on his bow. There was a "whoosh" sound and the arrow hit Jiayuguan. When the enemy general saw this, he immediately turned his horse's head and fled in a hurry. There is a popular song among the locals: "Hua Mulan steps on the edge of the Yellow River and shoots an arrow to Jiayuguan. See if she can find it or not." The old man continued: "I want to try to preserve this magic arrow. It was left for future generations to see, so we built the city here by carrying the earth." After hearing this, Xiao Gamei was so surprised that she immediately helped the grandfather carry the earth to build the city and named it "Mulan City". On the day the city was just built, the magical Mulan arrow was suddenly inserted in the center of the earth city. So Xiao Gamei helped the old man dig a well next to Mulan Arrow for drinking by nearby residents. Several years later, someone tried to snatch the magic arrow and set fire to the city of Mulan. This angered the gods, who immediately poured down rain to put out the fire. The divine arrow flew to nowhere again. A new well appeared at the place where the arrow was inserted, and it was juxtaposed with the original well in the center of the Tucheng. Therefore, this ancient city was called "Shuangjingzi City".
