? The story of Xue Dingshan and Fan Lihua, Xue Dingshan and Saint Fan Lihua.

There is also: the legendary Bi He, at the same time in the Tang Dynasty, an old man and a young man, two famous soldiers, were stationed at the border and went to the Western Expedition. In order to maintain the unity of the Tang Dynasty, they had outstanding military achievements. This is described in many ancient literary works. Perhaps it is for this reason that what Bi He left in the East Tianshan Mountains has been circulated among the people for a long time. & gt At the end of Sui Dynasty and the beginning of Tang Dynasty, Tang Wang Li Yuan seized the political power of Sui Dynasty and established the Tang Dynasty. Due to good governance, strong national strength and high reputation, envoys from all over the western regions have been sent to the Central Plains to make peace with the Tang Dynasty, and Yiwu was the first to join the Tang Dynasty. However, the self-sustaining and powerful sudden forces are unwilling to decline. They often sent troops to invade Xizhou and Yizhou, which were controlled by the Tang Dynasty. They also seized the king of Yan Qi, provoked the king of Gaochang and the duke of Yizhou against the Tang Dynasty, and even blocked traffic and looted the envoys of various countries. & gt Bi, a famous Tang Dynasty soldier who was guarding Xiangyang City in Hexi at that time, was a brave veteran in the Western Expedition in the early Tang Dynasty, because he was both wise and brave, and he was able to hold up the flagpole of the camp that was blown down by the strong wind with one arm. & gt In order to prevent the Turks from invading and plundering, the Tang Dynasty sent a general to guard against Bi Xizheng. When the army went to the foot of the East Tianshan Mountains, ready to meet the Turkish military forces, I saw Bi wearing a shirt and holding a painted halberd, which was extraordinary. In order to stabilize the frontier defense, smooth the Silk Road and unify the Tang Dynasty, he shot three arrows at the intersection of short soldiers. This immediately caused panic in the enemy camp. Deeply impressed by Bi Jiu's skill and superb martial arts, the leader of the enemy line knew that he was not an opponent and immediately dismounted for peace, so that a fierce battle that was about to be bloody in the East Tianshan Mountains did not repeat itself. This is the origin of the beautiful legend that "a strong man enters the Han Pass with one arrow and three arrows". & gt& gt When Bi returned to Baihuguan (now between Anxi and Liuyuan) to rest, it is said that Bi's son Mi Dingshan came to help, mistakenly thinking that a white tiger star suddenly appeared in the camp, and shot him with a bow in panic. Although this mythical color is not credible, Bi's three arrows set the Tianshan Mountains. & gt Fan Lihua was a female general who participated in the Western Expedition in the Tang Dynasty. It is said that he was originally the leader of a thatched cottage in the Tang Dynasty, and he did not depend on Tang Jun. It was only because of the constant eastward invasion of the western Turks that he was patriotic and enthusiastic. Under the persuasion and invitation of General Cheng of the Tang Dynasty, he resolutely set off for the Western Expedition. In the process of moving to the north and south of Tianshan Mountain, she did win many battles with Tang Jun, and she was very brave. She not only carried forward the military power for Tang Jun, but also left many vivid and touching legends for future generations, such as the story of Shashan Tibetan camp handed down from Huancaigou in the East Tianshan Mountains and the story of Mingsha Mountain meeting with the enemy. & gt Now, if you go to northern Shaanxi along the old Baja Highway, you will see a place called Huancaigou, which is not far from Nanshankou. There is a huge Han tablet here, which is the resting place for Fan Lihua's March in the Tang Dynasty. Because the farther up the mountain from here, the colder the weather. If you go back to the mountains, it will get hotter. That's why Fan Lihua ordered his troops to stay here, change their clothes slightly and prepare coffins for the dead soldiers. When people saw this scene, they named it coffin ditch. When it was extended to the Qing Dynasty, Yue Zhongqi, general of Ningyuan, passed by here. I heard that this ditch was called coffin ditch, which was unlucky, so I ordered it to be changed to today's name Huancai ditch. & gt Shashan Tibetan Camp refers to the fact that Fan Lihua sent a battalion of female soldiers to explore the road during the Western Expedition. When she entered Shashanzi from the wicker river in the grassland, she didn't expect to suddenly meet Turkish soldiers lying in ambush near Shashan. The fighting was fierce. As a result, the reinforcements failed to arrive in time, and the women's camp was outnumbered and suffered heavy casualties. When Fan Lihua led the army to beat back the enemy, the soldiers who died heroically were buried under the sand mountain. Another story is that a battalion of female soldiers first camped under the sand mountain during the Western Expedition. Unexpectedly, overnight, the weather changed suddenly, and the wind blew harder and harder, which was overwhelming and impossible to prevent. The next day, all the female soldiers were buried under the thick sand mountain. Later, every windy day or when someone went up the mountain to slide the sand, the sand mountain would make all kinds of sounds. The volume changes with the vibration, sometimes like a war drum roaring, sometimes like a war horse charging, sometimes like an elf crying, sometimes like a crowd cheering, sometimes hidden and sometimes illusory. People say that this is a loyal soldier buried under the sand mountain. In fact, if you think about it carefully, it's just that the people always want to combine the patriotic spirit of the soldiers who died for their country in ancient times with the physical phenomena of nature to express the memory of this legendary expeditionary force soldier by future generations. & gt Fan Lihua was an ancient heroine in China. Compared with Mulan and Mu, her mythical color seems to be stronger. When talking about the story of Xue's voyage to the West, Jiang and he both talked about such an ancient woman who was full of rebellious spirit and dared to pursue ideal love boldly. The story tells that during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, that is, after Emperor Taizong Li Shimin ascended the throne, some small countries in the northwest, such as Xiliang, now centered on Wuwei, Gansu, were unwilling to accept the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty and opposed it by force. Therefore, Taizong decided to send Xue to ask for it. All the legends about Fan Lihua happened in this historical background. & gt About Fan Lihua's life experience, most folklore thinks it is related to her birth. It is said that when she was born, because someone predicted that she would kill her father and brother, her father, Fan Hong, commander-in-chief of Xiliang River, threw her on the desert beach. Later, it is said that an accomplished master Li Shan took her through this place to the mountains. While raising her, I taught her the magic of moving mountains and rivers. Perhaps because of human nature, 18-year-old met by chance during a trip, that is, the son of marshal Xue of the Tang Dynasty, and fell in love at first sight. From then on, she began to pursue and wait for her ideal love. & gt& gt For love, she caught it three times and released it three times; For love, she killed her father and brother without persuading them to submit to the Tang Dynasty. But even so, Xue Dingshan, full of orthodoxy and prejudice, is still lukewarm to her. Even if I had to marry her, I also wanted to give Fan Lihua a breathing space. Only after the war became tense did the story of "three invitations to Fan Lihua" spread. It is said that it was Emperor Taizong who made an imperial edict and became a matchmaker, which made them get married and made them famous for their anti-Tang. & gt The Legend of Fanjiacheng is located in Sanyangchuan. Apart from Fanjiacheng, there are also Yan Ying Temple, Fanjiazhaizi and Wuhu Mountain, all of which are related to the legend of Fan Lihua. Wuhu Mountain is an isolated city in Hulu River Canyon. It is said that this was once the place where Fan Lihua hoarded food and grass, and it was also the retreat she left for herself. Fanjiazhaizi is not far from Yan Ying Temple and is said to be the birthplace of Fan Lihua. Yan Ying Temple is said to be the military training ground of Fan Lihua. Today, it is still surrounded by city walls and covered with cypresses. The DBH of one of the ancient cypresses is nearly two meters, which is the largest in Tianshui at present. The annual rings show that its growth cycle is at least 1200 years, and it should also be planted in the Tang Dynasty. It is said that Yan Ying Temple was called Lingyuan Temple before the Tang Dynasty. Some time ago, there was an extremely tragic battle here, and many people died. Even after many years, ghosts still wail at night, until a nine-level brick tower was built in the ancient battlefield, and Sophora japonica was planted around the brick tower. So, for many years, people in Sanyangchuan area mentioned Yan Ying Temple and always said, "Three hundred and nine temples, two towers holding towers". Only when the "four old" was broken in the past, the brick tower and pagoda tree were already destroyed. & gt there is a ditch in baisangguan town called the war horse ditch, which was named after Fan Lihua, a female general in the Tang dynasty. & gt According to legend, during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, Fan Lihua was defeated and retreated to Baisangguan, and was stationed in Shimen Mountain. Train after recruiting, and fight when there are more soldiers. One day, I suddenly heard someone screaming at the foot of the mountain and a woman was crying all the time. Fan Lihua saw something strange and immediately led his troops down from Shimen Mountain. I saw a bully leading a group of people to rob a woman. Fan Lihua rushed to the front and fought with the robbers. They fought horses in Qili, killed in Bali Ramaping and chased them in Jiuligang. The bully came to beg for mercy, saying that he was willing to chop off his fingers as proof, and he was determined to turn evil into good and never bully the people again. He also promised to use all his property as a military achievement, surrender to General Fan, and contribute to the revitalization of the Tang Dynasty. Fan Lihua accepted the bully's meticulous * * *, and his strength was greatly enhanced. & gt In memory of Fan Lihua, later generations called this ditch "Horse Valley" and called Fan Lihua's stronghold "Lihua Village". & gt In Mingsha Mountain, there is a magical legend circulating among the local people: When Fan Lihua, a female general of the Tang Dynasty, led troops to the Western Expedition, a battalion of female soldiers met the enemy, and the fighting was extremely fierce. Being outnumbered, they were all killed. Fan Lihua led his troops to reach and defeat the enemy. And the bodies of all female soldiers were buried under the sand mountain. According to this legend, people named this scenic spot "Shashan Burial Camp". & gt The legend of Fan Lihua is widely circulated among the people in China. In addition to Tianshui, Gansu, Shaanxi, Hebei and even Sichuan also have place names related to her. Some film and television organizations also constantly put these stories on the screen. However, compared with other places, the legends of Fanjiacheng and Yan Ying Temple in Tianshui are simple but more credible, although the original Fanjiacheng has become the junction of wheat fields and vegetable fields, and the original military field has become a paradise for children. It is precisely because of these ruins, these dense cypress trees, which have been passed down from generation to generation, and through the fog of history, we can still see a heroic, enterprising and considerate Fan Lihua, and see the blood and vitality rushing in this land. & gt
