Looking forward to Danyang Qin Shihuang cutting the dragon veins to break the king's energy
During the Spring and Autumn Period, Danyang was the territory of the Chu State. In 222 BC, Qin Shihuang pacified the Jiangnan area of Chu State and established Kuaiji County to take charge of southeastern Jiangsu and eastern Zhejiang. Danyang was changed to Yunyang County. It is such a small Yunyang County. I don't know how much thought Qin Shihuang put into it, and even broke the "royal spirit" here at all costs.
Renamed "Yunyang" to "Kui"
In 538 BC, the Chu State launched a crusade against the Wu State. In order to maintain military traffic, the "Yunyang Station" was set up on the front line in today's Danyang and Dantu areas. This is the first place name "Yunyang" in history books. After that, King Gou Jian of Yue destroyed the State of Wu, and King Wei of Chu went south to destroy the State of Yue. In 334 BC, "Yunyangyi" was changed to "Yunyangyi".
After Qin Shihuang destroyed the six kingdoms, in order to consolidate his dominance, he strengthened the management of county, county and township institutions and implemented the joint sitting method. In counties and townships, there are five levels and ten levels. Each level has its own sergeant, so each level is guaranteed. If a family commits the crime of "rape", every class must sit together with every class to prevent and suppress the peasants' resistance struggle. On the other hand, Qin Shihuang often organized ministers to inspect various places to inspect local defenses and promptly attack the remaining forces of slave owners and aristocrats who attempted to restore the country. According to historical records, in the 11 years from 220 BC to 210 BC, Qin Shihuang led his ministers on five large-scale inspections to inspect local defenses and strengthened their rule over many ethnic groups.
Xian Yishu, an old man who specializes in the history of Danyang, told reporters that when Qin Shihuang led his officials on an eastward journey and passed through Danyang, according to official divination, it was said that Yunyang had a "royal soul". Qin Shihuang was afraid that Emperor Danyang would seize his land, so he immediately issued an order to break the "feng shui" of Danyang. One of the "measures" is to change Yunyang County, which has the word "Wang Qi" in it, to Qu'a County.
Although the Qin Dynasty perished soon, Qu'a County has been passed down for a long time. Except for the Three Kingdoms and the early Jin Dynasty, it has been called Yunyang from the Eastern and Western Han Dynasties to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, down to the Song, Qi, Liang, Chen and Sui Dynasties of the Southern Dynasties. It was not until the first year of Tianbao, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, that "Qua" was renamed "Danyang" County, and the county has been removed from the county and established as a city since 1987.
"Foreseeing" Danyang will produce an emperor
Qin Shihuang initiated many undertakings that were conducive to unification and development. He not only unified currency, weights and measures, and writing, but also built roads to the four sides and unified the width of the roads, becoming the world's first great empire with a highly developed culture.
During the process of national unification, the story of Qin Shihuang’s stay in Danyang is still widely circulated in the local area. Especially when Qin Shihuang was alive, he foresaw that the emperor would leave Danyang. Sure enough, in 430 years after the death of Qin Shihuang, Qin Shihuang Wu Dadi became Sun Quan in Danyang in - year. Sun Quan was originally from Fuyang, Zhejiang, and his ancestors moved to Qu'a. His grandfather Zhongsun made a living by growing melons on the spot in Danyang, and was buried in Baihe Mountain where he died. His father Sun Jian was buried in Situ Wuling Port, Danyang, and the tomb was named "Gaoling". During the Southern Dynasties, two generations of founding emperors appeared in Danyang. Shao Bo Xiao Daocheng, whose courtesy name was Jiangdou, was a native of Xiaojia Lane, Xian County, Danyang County, Southern Dynasties. He died at the age of 56 and was buried in the Taihe Mausoleum in Qiaohu Shiziwan, Danyang. Xiao Yan's name was Shuda, and he was known as Emperor Wu of Liang in history. He is also from Xiaojia Lane, Xian County Town, Danyang. He died in a catastrophe in 549 AD at the age of 85 and was buried in Linjing Sancun Lane, Danyang.
Cut Beigang Mountain to cut off the "Dragon Vein"
During the Warring States Period, wars continued and China was in a feudal separatist situation. At that time, in order to prevent the invasion of other countries, various countries built barriers, fortresses, dikes, weirs and other barriers in border areas. After Qin Shihuang annexed the six kingdoms, communication between rivers was as important as unifying writing, weights and measures, and vehicle tracks.
When the tide of the Qin-Yangtze River rises, the river flows to the confluence of Zhenjiang A
According to historical records, the Suzhou-Hangzhou section of the Grand Canal was formed in the Spring and Autumn Period. During the Warring States Period, King Wu Fu Chai dug a canal from Suzhou to Changzhou in order to move north by water and annex the Chu State to drive cattle. In this way, the towns excavated by Qin Shihuang, the Dantong River Waterway and the Niuben Canal were naturally connected, laying the foundation for Emperor Yang Di to open the entire Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. In other words, the section from southern Jiangsu to Hangzhou of the Grand Canal was opened as early as when Qin Shihuang unified China.
Make a straight road and take a curve.
Shortly after Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, he immediately ordered the destruction of fences, fortresses, dams and other barriers on the borders of various countries during the Warring States Period.
In 220 BC, Qin Shihuang built the Equator, centered on the capital Xianyang, and extending in two directions to the southeast: one way east to the Yanqi region; the other south to Wu and Chu. At that time, Danyang was renamed Qu'a County by Qin Shihuang, and it was located in Wuchu territory where the equator passed.
According to Yang Xun, president of the Danyang Historical and Cultural Research Association, Qin Shihuang's last eastward journey was from "Huiji Road" to Xiaoxin Village in Qu'a County in the 37th year of his reign. A book written by Yuan Kangyue of the Eastern Han Dynasty records that when Qin Shihuang returned to Xianyang, he "played Qu'a, Jurong, and Du Niuzhu". The old county annals: "Chidao is located eighteen miles north of the county, and its place name is Xiaoxin." This "Xiaoxin Road" is connected to the "Chidao" of Dantu in Jiangdong to the north. Although the original path no longer exists, there are still clues to be found. Today, there is Xiaoxin Village in Dabo Town, Danyang Development Zone, and Houxiaoxin Village at the junction of Danyang and Dantu. The two villages are about 10 kilometers away from the urban area of Danyang and are both on the east bank of the Grand Canal. They are in line with the ancient road construction habit of moving both land and water.
The scale of Qinchi Road can be seen in a narrative left in the Han Dynasty Jia Shan Zhuan: "Qinchi Road spreads all over the world, with Yanqi in the east and Wu and Chu in the south. The road is fifty paces wide. , the tree is three feet high, thick on the outside, and covered with golden vertebrae." In other words, the Chidao ordered by Qin Shihuang was built according to certain specifications. The roadbed was high and strong, fifty paces wide, and there were pine trees every three feet along the road. The road leading to the Sifang Border Area unified the train tracks, which played a certain role in promoting the development of economic and cultural exchanges at that time and laid the foundation for future road construction.
The strange thing is that the equator in other places is basically direct, but according to literature, the southbound "Kuiji Equator" is zigzag when passing through Danyang. Why? It turns out that Qin Shihuang deliberately "cut the straight road to bend it" when he built the Danyang Equator, that is, he deliberately built a straight road to bend it. The purpose is the same as changing Yunyang County into Qu County, chiseling Beigan Mountain and cutting dragon veins to break Feng Shui. Of course, from today's perspective, Qin Shihuang's ideas have no scientific basis, but they are also of great significance in water conservancy, transportation, culture and other aspects.
