I heard that a county was flooded in Haili, Rizhao City. What was its name? When did it flood? Someone can tell me
Shihe County is a legend, I don’t know which dynasty it is from
Information:
According to legend, the vast sea east of today’s Shijiu was originally a fertile field, and Shihe County is located there. Therefore, here there is ample water for fish, fertile soil for crops, green mountains and green water, fertile land and beautiful water, good weather and good rain, and abundant grains. It is a pity that the rich here are unkind and the poor are unjust. Bullying of men and women is common. Theft and robbery can be seen everywhere. Abduction and killing are everywhere. Bad people are in power and good people suffer.
Unrest on land will inevitably affect the aquatic people. The Dragon King of the East China Sea rushed to the heaven to write: Submerge the Shihe River and establish a new county!
The Jade Emperor was very annoyed after reading the memorial of the Dragon King of the East China Sea and hearing the unkind and unjust incestuous behavior of the people in Shihe County. When the Dragon King was about to follow the order and go down to the realm, Taibai Jinxing hurriedly came out of the office and played: "Jade Emperor, God has the virtue of good life, is there not even a good person in Shihe County?" The Jade Emperor thought for a while, but also felt that this was unavoidably sentimental, and he was not unjust. A good person would not indulge a bad person, so he took back his life and ordered the Dragon King of the East China Sea to conduct an on-site inspection in the lower realm.
After receiving the decree, the Dragon King of the East China Sea immediately went straight to Shihe County. Coinciding with a large gathering in the county town, the Dragon King transformed into an old oil seller and set up a stall to sell oil: "I sell oil. One gourd head and half a catty, two "Forty taels of gourd heads." Upon hearing that there was such a "cheap" profit, the market-goers immediately surrounded the "old man" on three levels inside and three outside. The person who bought the gourd head didn't buy two gourd heads, let alone reminded him that he had lost money on the sale. The Dragon King sold it all morning, and when the sun hit the sky, every drop of the oil was "sold". There were still people who had bought it several times and were still asking: "Will they sell it next time?" When the Dragon King of the East China Sea saw how popular people were, he Just as he was about to go to the realm to pay the order, a child came over and said, "Grandpa, are you selling at a loss for money?" When the Dragon King heard this, he said to himself: "Fortunately, there are good people in Shihe County after listening to Jin Xing's advice." Then he closed the stall, called the child aside, and whispered: "Good boy, you are kind-hearted and down-to-earth, which is rare. Grandpa will tell you one thing. Within three days, if you see the lion at the gate of the county government and its eyes turn red, Just run to the northwest. Remember, you must not look back until you reach the top of the mountain!" The child hurriedly wanted to ask why, but the Dragon King stopped him: "This is a secret, and it must not be revealed!" , disappeared.
After returning to Heaven, the Dragon King truthfully reported: There are good and bad people in Shihe County! There are many bad people and few good people, but they are not all bad people. The Jade Emperor then hurriedly issued an order to the land of Shihe County: in order to punish evil and promote good, the bad guys and good guys in Shihe County should be quickly identified, and in particular, no kind and honest person should be missed. Then, he entrusted them with a dream and told them to avoid the flood as soon as possible and drown all the bad guys.
That night, the kind and honest people in Shihe County had exactly the same dream. At dawn, all close friends were surprised. Although they were doubtful, it was a "divine secret" in the end, so they secretly prepared for it. . Besides, the child always kept the words of the "Oil Seller" in his heart and went to see the stone lion every day when he passed by the Yamen Gate. On the third day, I saw that the stone lion's eyes were really red, as if it were bursting into flames, so I ran to the northwest. Behind me, the wind roared, lightning flashed and thunder, the earth shook, the mountains shook, and the waves roared, as if I was chasing after you. , he didn’t dare to look back and ran as fast as he could. He didn’t know how far or how long he ran. It wasn’t until he reached the top of a ridge that he looked back: Oh my God! The eldest Shihe County disappeared and became a vast ocean... At this time, people on the top of the mountain gathered together one after another. These were the kind and honest people in Shihe County.
After the disaster, I cried with joy. At this time, a red sun burst out above the East China Sea, and people cheered towards the sun. From then on, these people lived around the mountains. After several changes, they built a new city. Because after the great sorrow, the red sun was rising in the east, so the city was named "Rizhao City".
