Li Bai, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote in "Difficult Road to Shu": "Until the two rulers of this area squeezed in in the foggy years! Forty-eight thousand years have passed. Don't talk to Qin Sai. And Dabaishan, to the west, still has only one bird path, all the way to the peak of Emei. Once it was broken by an earthquake, some brave people lost it, and then the ladder stone pile was hooked. On the high flag, six dragons drive the sun, and far below, the river lashes its twisted channel. Such a height is difficult for a yellow crane, poor monkey, they only have claws to use. The Green Mud Mountain is made up of many circles. For every hundred steps, we have to turn nine times in the middle of its mound. Panting, we brushed Orion and passed the well star. Then, we held our breasts in our hands and groaned and sank to the ground. "
Later, the legendary Can Cong and Wang Jian and Li Yu established Shu. The founding date is too far away, I don't know where to start, and I can't say clearly. As early as ancient times, all kinds of big coffees and classic masterpieces were Can Cong's endorsement platforms, which respected and paid tribute. Today, there are unknown young people with boxing heart, thinking and pursuit!
I also want to take this opportunity to thank Li Bai for writing a wonderful poem with great tension and agility-"Difficult Road to Shu", so that more people can know that they were born in ancient times and lived in Shu.
Can Cong, also known as Can Cong, is the silkworm god in ancient myths and legends. He was the first emperor of Shu and an expert in sericulture. According to historical records, the Yellow Emperor (Xuanyuan) married a woman named "Shushan", namely "Lei Zu", and the couple gave birth to "Can Cong", and Can Cong established the ancient Shu kingdom. Can Cong was the first person in China to turn wild silkworms in the mountains into silkworms. His main achievement is "teaching people to raise silkworms". In order to raise silkworms, he led the tribe to live in Chengdu from Minshan, developed the production economy in Chengdu Plain, and created the historical glory of the ancient Shu State.
"Biography of the King of Shu") "Yutian was in Lushan Mountain and suddenly got a fairy road. Shu people thought about it and set up a temple. There is also a version of Biography of Huayang, which says: "(Jade Symbol) Wang hunted to Xushan, then died, and now it is enshrined in the temple." (Quoted from Magnolia (Volume 888)) This left great imagination space for later scholars and writers.
The ancestors of Shu people, from those who taught people to raise silkworms, to those who taught people to fish, to Du Yu who taught people to farm, and to Master Roshi who worshipped Bo Guns, were all related to agricultural production. Yufu's family was the third king of Shu after Can Cong and Guanbai in the Five Dynasties, and its capital was in Wanchun and Liucheng in Wenjiang District. , also known as Can Cong, was the first king of Shu. He is an expert in sericulture. It is said that his eyes protrude forward like a crab, his hair is combed into a "vertebral bun" at the back of his head, and the left side of his clothes style is diagonally forked. He first lived in Minshan Stone House. Later, in order to raise silkworms, Can Cong. Lead the tribe from Minshan to live in Chengdu!
(A) the ancestors of Shu people
The ancestors of Shu people in mythology are "Can Cong" and "Yufu". Shu is connected with the bracelet, that is, the wild silkworm. Can Cong's eyes are vertical. He lives in a cave at the foot of Minshan Mountain. Can Cong, Bai Zhi and Yu Fu are all centenarians, and they are immortal. His main achievement is "teaching people to raise silkworms". From the Biography of King Shu to the folk oral stories in western Sichuan today, there are many stories about this. There is such a record in Huayang Guozhi Shuzhi: there is a Shu Hou, and his general view. Can Cong, a native of Can Cong, was the first king of Shu.
"Jade is a fairy in Yushan Mountain, and this temple is dedicated to her." (Biography of the King of Shu) "Yutian was in Lushan Mountain, and suddenly she got a fairy road. Shu people think about it and set up a temple. " Another version of Huayang Biography said: "(Yu Fu) Wang hunted to Xushan Mountain and later died. Now he is enshrined in the temple." (Quoted from "Magnolia" Volume 888) This left great imagination space for later scholars and writers.
The ancestors of Shu people, from those who taught people to raise silkworms, to those who taught people to fish, and then to Du Yu, who paid attention to water conservancy, were all called, and Master Roshi, who was in charge of water conservancy, was called Cong Di, also called Chong Bo Gun, which was related to agricultural production.
(2) Character introduction
Who's Can Cong? He is the embodiment of Shu, and the first person in China to turn wild silkworms into silkworms. He was the first king of ancient Shu. With great courage and extraordinary wisdom, he developed the production and economy of Chengdu Plain and created the historical glory of ancient Shu. Qushangcheng is the first capital city established by Can Cong in Chengdu Plain. It was the first "command post" for Can Cong to create the glorious history of ancient Shu. Li Bai, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, said with emotion in the article "Difficulties in Shu Dao": "Until the two rulers of this area squeezed in in the foggy years." He is talking about the legendary ancient Shu kingdom.
(C) Chengdu's human history
The official history of Chengdu's urban construction began with Zhang Yi's turtle city, so where did Chengdu's human history begin? We said we should start with a king of Shu named Can Cong.
"Biography of the King of Shu" contains: "The first king of Shu was named Can Cong, and the descendants were named Guan Bai, and the second king was named Yufu." From the very beginning, it was said that the first king of Shu was named "Can Cong", which was so crisp and neat that it seemed to be a beginning.
So, did this "Genesis" Can Cong come from Chengdu Plain or people around the basin? Did he grow up from the people in Shu, or did he migrate to Shu from other places and finally gain a dominant position? According to Zhang Qiao's annotation of Shu Du Fu and quoting the Biography of Shu Wang, "Can Cong began to live in Minshan Stone Room." According to the research of historians, this Can Cong tribe is an important part of the Chinese nation. Their ancestors lived in Minshan. Because the mountains are high and the roads are dangerous, of course, they can't build houses with wooden bones and mud walls like plain residents, so their lives are more comfortable. On the contrary, they live by digging holes in the cliff according to local conditions. This is a tribe that is good at raising silkworms. They look and dress strangely. "It was an era when everyone was lovely, but his eyes were drooping, he couldn't read, and there was no music." In other words, their eyes protrude forward like crabs, their hair is combed into a "vertebral bun" at the back of their heads, and the style of their clothes is oblique fork on the left. Can Cong sat in a closed stone room all day thinking, trying to find a better place to live and work in peace and contentment, because life in the mountains is very hard, which is also very unfavorable to the development of sericulture. Later, when he heard that Chengdu Plain was open and fertile, he led the tribe to migrate from Minshan to Chengdu Plain and set up camp in Sanxingdui, Guanghan. Perhaps there were tribes in Sanxingdui area at that time, but their strength was not strong enough, so they were naturally annexed or assimilated by Can Cong. This migration left many ancient place names along the way, from which we can see the route of Can Cong's southward migration from Minjiang River to Chengdu Plain. For example, The Records of Places of Interest in the Middle of Shu recorded the Silkworm Cliff Pass, Silkworm Cliff Stone and Silkworm Cliff City successively.
(4) Archaeological research
Judging from today's archaeological materials, Sanxingdui has indeed unearthed many objects with the same appearance as Can Cong, such as portrait masks with vertical eyes and left-handed clothes with vertebral bun. Is this a relic of life left by the Can Cong tribe? Sanxingdui area in Guanghan was built very early, and there have been many tribal struggles. During this period, is it the struggle for Can Cong to replace other tribes, or the struggle for Yufu and Guanbai to replace Can Cong? In the Ming Dynasty, Cao Xue's explanation of Guang Ji in Shu quoted a story recorded in Yi of Shi Zhuan in Xi 'an, and talked about the struggle between Sanxingdui tribes at that time: "Silkworm girl, when Gao Xin lived, there was no monarch in Shu, so they lived together, so they ate each other. In Guanghan market, some people had been plundered by their neighbors for more than a year, but their horses were still there. His daughter misses her father and says, "If I can get my father back, I will marry you." The horse brought his father back. If father doesn't want to keep his promise, the horse will hiss, but father will kill him. Expose the skin to the air. The woman walked past it, but the horse jumped up and the girl flew away. On the tenth day, the skin perches on mulberry trees, turns into silkworms, eats mulberry leaves and spins cocoons. "
(5) the main idea of the story
The main idea of the story is that there was a modest woman named Silkworm Girl in the "Gao Xin era". At that time, there was no King Shu in Shu, and they were all small tribes. Under the control of these tribal leaders, people live in groups, which will inevitably lead to annexation and war between tribes. On one occasion, the ruins of Guang Seoul were burned and looted by neighboring tribes, and the father of the silkworm girl was also taken hostage, leaving only an old horse that her father usually rode. Silkworm girl misses her father very much and says to Ma: Ma, go and save my father, and I will marry you. The horse was so happy when he heard the silkworm girl's words that he secretly ran to carry his master. But as soon as the rescued father heard that he was going to marry his daughter to Ma, he quit. Of course, the horse was angry, jumping and barking, threatening to go on a hunger strike. Silkworm girl's father was not easy to provoke (probably the leader of the tribe), so he killed the horse in a rage and left the skin and meat peeled off in the kitchen. On this day, the silkworm girl passed by the kitchen, and the horse skin suddenly jumped up, like a gust of wind swept the silkworm girl away; A few days later, people saw the horse skin fall on the opposite mulberry tree, and the silkworm girl turned into a silkworm, eating mulberry leaves and spinning herself into a cocoon. Although this story is a myth, it records the contradictory relationship between the tribes in Guanghan City during the ancient Shu period, so it is very precious.
(6) Relevant speculation
How many years has Can Cong been a tribal "King of Shu" in Sanxingdui area of Shu? "Biography of the King of Shu" records: "The first name of the King of Shu was Can Cong, the later was Guan Bai, and the later was Yu Fu. These three generations are all hundreds of years old, all immortals, and their people have followed Wang Hua quite well. " It can be seen that the rule in Shu is "hundreds of years". Of course, this does not mean that Can Cong himself was a tribal leader for hundreds of years, but that the era named Can Cong lasted for hundreds of years. After Can Cong's death, Huayang Guozhi recorded: "Death is a sarcophagus, and Chinese people follow it, so it is customary to take the sarcophagus as the tomb." It seems that this Can Cong is also a person with a strong sense of hometown. Everyone died, and he remembered the feeling of living in a stone house, so he made the coffin and grave into stones. In the future, when people see similar graves, they will say, hey, look, these are the graves that look at people.
According to some archaeologists' speculation, Can Cong ruled Shu earlier than Xia Dynasty before Shang Dynasty. Because the wall unearthed from Sanxingdui site was built in the early Shang Dynasty, after Yu's father unified Shu, and the silkworm cluster was 200 years earlier than Yu's father, its age should be equivalent to Xia Dynasty. At that time, although Can Cong was the "early king", he obviously did not have the nature of a national monarch. He may just be the leader of a related tribe. At that time, he was in the late primitive society, and the dawn of slavery was slowly coming.
(7) He Yufu
Li Bai, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, said with emotion in the article "Difficulties in Shu Dao": "Until the two rulers of this area squeezed in in the foggy years." He is talking about the legendary ancient Shu kingdom. Was there an ancient Shu kingdom before the Western Zhou Dynasty? About Can Cong and Yufu in the early days of ancient Shu, there is only a little overlap in historical materials. Are they the imaginary ancestors of the ancient Shu people? Or a real king? Historians have long been inconclusive.
During the period of 1929, a farmer in Moon Bay, Sanxingdui, Guanghan, Sichuan, found a beautifully carved jade, which was the first light of ancient Shu civilization. For decades, scattered unearthed cultural relics have attracted wide attention at home and abroad. It was not until 1986 that the large-scale archaeological excavation of Sanxingdui site unveiled the veil of the ancient Shu kingdom. The cultural relics unearthed from the site show that there was a unique and highly developed civilization in the plain of western Sichuan more than 4,800 years ago. Can Cong and Yufu did exist, and their ruling era was named after them.
"Huayang National Records" says: "Can Cong, the Duke of Shu, is king when his eyes stand upright. The second king irrigation. The second king is a fish. " Several large-scale bronzes with eagle faces and birds were unearthed in the sacrificial pit of Sanxingdui site, which confirmed the existence of ancient Shu legends and fish traps. "Looking straight" is the image feature of Can Cong. The eyeballs of bronze portraits of Sanxingdui protrude forward from their eyes by more than ten centimeters, and some people have a dragon cast on their noses. Yufu is an osprey. Birds, such as eagles and birds, have keen eyes and powerful claws and walk against the wind. Ancient Shu ancestors were full of illusions and admiration for them, and they were the most respected people in ancient China. The ancient Shu people endowed their ancestors with the image of birds, and also painstakingly cast bronze ritual vessels with the images of giant eagle head, human head, bird body and human eagle claw. Most of these cultural relics were unearthed in the No.2 pit of Sanxingdui site.
Academics agree that most of the ethnic groups in ancient southwest China are ancient Qiang tribes living in Gukang Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (including Ganzi and Aba counties in Sichuan, Qinghai and Tibet). Around the 5th century BC, they entered the plain eastward, mixed with China aborigines, and gave birth to China culture. One of them moved to the southeast, entered Minshan area, lived by the mountain, and took the rock as a hole. Later, he entered the Chengdu Plain along the river valley and began fishing and hunting, picking up wild silkworms and spinning. Later generations called these people who lived in Minshan Canyon Shushan people. Around 3000 BC, a woman of Shushan family married the Yellow Emperor as a princess, and her descendants were Can Cong, the founder of the ancient Shu kingdom, who was the direct ancestor of the Shu people in Sanxingdui.
Before Can Cong, the ancient Shu people took animal husbandry as their main source of livelihood, and also engaged in hunting and breeding. The most important thing in sericulture is reeling. Can Cong led his people to continue their migration to the southeast. After passing through the Mao Wen Basin between Maoxian and Wenchuan, they gradually developed agriculture. Xia and Shang Dynasties, the third generation of Yufu era, saw Shu people move eastward again, from southeast to south of the basin, and entered Guanghan Plain through the northern end of Chengdu Plain. At this time, the ancient Shu kingdom had completed the transformation from the primitive clan commune system to slavery, and Yu Fan was the first ruler of this slavery regime.
There is no record of the war between the ancient Shu people and other countries handed down from ancient times, but archaeological objects clearly prove this. In the Yin Ruins and Oracle Bone Inscriptions, there are records of "harvesting the year in Shu", "harvesting Shu" and "going to Shu for something", which shows that there were constant disputes between Shang and Shu at that time. In the era of yufu, the Shang dynasty was on the verge of extinction, so Shu naturally joined the alliance and stood in the crusade against Zhou. Therefore, Shangshu said: "The king of Wu really won the master of Bashu when he attacked Zhou." According to the chronological analysis, at least two sacrificial pits in Sanxingdui site belong to the era of Yu's father, and a large number of weapons and ritual vessels such as ge, sword and spear unearthed are the best proof of Shu people's martial arts.
Despite the frequent wars with Shang Dynasty, the independent economic life mode of ancient Shu people has not been affected. This is due to the unique geographical conditions of Shu, where rivers are swift, springs are abundant, the soil is fertile, and there are rich mineral deposits such as gold, silver, jade, copper, iron, lead and tin underground, which has cultivated the superb bronze casting technology of ancient Shu people. Sichuan has lush forests, rhinoceros, yak, elephant and other wild animals, ripe fruits and vegetables in four seasons, rich in lacquer, hemp, silkworm, orpiment and clay. The silk reeling and lacquer painting techniques of ancient Shu people are first-class. Bamboo all over the mountain has solved the housing problem. From the traces of sticks, mud blocks and bamboo pieces unearthed from the late Sanxingdui architectural site, it can be seen that the ancient Shu ancestors made bamboo-woven wooden-bone-mud-wall dry fence buildings according to local conditions according to the rainy and humid characteristics of the western Sichuan plain. They use local materials, build roof trusses with wood and bamboo, weave fences with wooden sticks and bamboo pieces, smear grass mud inside and outside, and cover the roof with bamboo. There are still similar thatched houses in poverty-stricken areas in Sichuan today.
In the north of ancient Shu, "praise is the front door", which is now Hanzhong, Shaanxi, bordering on Qin. In the south, "Xiong 'er and Lingguan are the rear areas", that is, Qingshen and Lushan in Sichuan are adjacent to the Yue nationality. It is near Jiuding Mountain and Emei Mountain in the west. To the east, it is connected with the Ba nationality, with "industry, diving, cotton and Luo as the pool", and uses the convenience of rivers to develop fisheries.
Ba people and witches living in the Three Gorges area of the Yangtze River are most closely related to the ancient Shu State. After the ancient frontier Yi Qiang people developed into Shu people in Chengdu Plain, they encountered an unexpected big problem: the lack of salt in Sichuan Basin. The pool salt of the Yi and Qiang nationalities is thousands of miles away, and it is difficult to transport the mountain weight, so we can only rely on the salt of Wuba. Witches and Ba people live in the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River and East Sichuan, where salt springs are densely covered. Witches and Ba people have long been attached to salt springs, logging and boiling springs, and trading with surrounding residents with crystal salt.
From Can Cong to Yufu era, ancient Shu people went to the Three Gorges area in eastern Sichuan to buy back salt. Wuji and Ba people will naturally not give up the big market of western Sichuan, and they will transport salt upstream one after another. Witch and Pakistan also have contradictions in sharing salt and profit. Witch's salt production is higher than that of Pakistan, which is close to the Yangtze River, which is convenient for them. If there is a dispute between the two sides, no matter which side loses, it will affect the salt supply in the ancient Shu kingdom. As the most powerful political power in southwest China, Yufu sent a team to the west of Qutangxia to establish a "demilitarized zone" between Pakistan and Wu to protect the "international salt interest" and the smooth transportation of salt in the Yangtze River. They also secretly collected and made their own salt to ensure that the salt supply in ancient Shu would not be interrupted by the dispute between Hu Ba and Hu Ba. This team camped on the floodplain west of Baidicheng in fengjie county today. It is said that there are eight rows of stone bases and 64 bases. According to experts' research, this is the "eight-array map" that Jin people misinformed Zhuge Liang in blocking Lu Xun's pursuit. Since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, people have been convinced of this statement. They never thought that it was the base camp of the "peacekeeping forces" in the ancient Shu Kingdom.
In the era of Du Yu (Sheyu), the fourth generation king of Shu, who paid attention to floods, the ancient Shu kingdom arranged a turtle spirit (worshipping Bo gun) from Jing to take charge of water control. It is equivalent to "looking up to the emperor" granting Prime Minister Master Roshi the right to control water!
(VIII) Historical position and influence of stone
At the end of the Western Weekend and the beginning of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Can Cong in the middle of Shu established Shu, which enabled most people, the predecessors of the Chinese nation, to settle down and enter the farming era. Since then, Shu has been known as the Silk Country in the history of China.
First, the development of sericulture-respected as the God of Tsing Yi.
Can Cong's ancestors were the "Zhuan Xu" of San (Xuanyuan) and Five Emperors. His family was well-off, and he was sent to Shu. Can Cong often visited Tsing Yi in the countryside, so he was called the God of Tsing Yi.
Can Cong saw that dams in the middle reaches of Minjiang River and Ruoshui River Basin were suitable for mulberry leaf growth, so he suggested that farmers plant mulberry and raise silkworms everywhere. The people living in Sichuan at that time were Qiang people (also known as Qionglai people) who came down from the northwest plateau of Sichuan along the Qionglai Mountains.
Ancient changes, cross-cavity, etc. Are very simple Can Cong tribes. Later, when Can Cong died, the people were very sad, so they buried him in Shushan (Wawushan) and built huge temples to worship the gods of Tsing Yi, such as "Master of Sichuan", "Shengde", "Boshan", "Blessed Land" and "Wan 'an", making Shushan (Wawushan) a famous "land for worshipping the Qing and Qiang".
At the same time, they imitated the clothes of the God of Tsing Yi, dressed in Tsing Yi and wrapped in green handkerchiefs, which were handed down from generation to generation as a permanent memorial.
In order to make the performance of Tsing Yi God unforgettable, they named Qingshen County, the birthplace of Can Cong, and Ruoshui area where he spent his whole life as Qingyijiang, the only river named after people in Sichuan.
Second, the country was founded on sericulture and silk-"Shu" became a national symbol.
Can Cong prospered the country by raising silkworms, and Shu's economy prospered rapidly. "When the Zhou Dynasty was out of discipline, Shu was the king first, then the Hou of Shu, and then the king first" (Records of Huayang, p. 18 1).
On the weekend in the west, Zhou Youwang played a bannerman in the bonfire, and then went to the palace in a mess. At this time, under the control of descendants, Shu's economy was prosperous, people's hearts were stable and its national strength was strong enough to compete with Zhou. So, he took this opportunity to be king and establish Shu, and his son Ji Yijiu, seeing that Haojing was surrounded by four barbarians, fled to Luoyang with officials and established the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, which was called "Ping" in history.
The word "Shu" in Shu is a curved mulberry tree with worms (silkworm worms) under it. Since then, Shu has become a country of sericulture and silk, which is famous at home and abroad.
Third, open a hundred generations of red leaves. Lay the foundation of "abundance"
Can Cong prospered the country with agriculture and made great contributions to Sichuan for hundreds of generations, laying the foundation of "Land of Abundance".
Surrounded by mountains around Sichuan, there are thousands of miles of fertile fields in western Sichuan, with mild climate and abundant rainfall, which provides extremely favorable conditions for developing agriculture. Silkworm-rearing silk is a major product that takes the lead in the farming era when men plow and women weave. Because wearing silk and satin is a necessary commodity for the upper class. As a result, a series of silk-related names, such as Jin Shu Shu Embroidery, Jiading (Leshan) Great Silk, Shunqing Poplin, and "Jinguancheng", are famous in the world, and "Land of Abundance" has become the envy of the world.
After Qin Shihuang destroyed the Six Kingdoms, his descendants of the royal family moved to Shu, which brought about a great integration of Central Plains culture and Shu culture. A large number of influential intellectuals have stepped onto the historical stage of Sichuan. Sima Xiangru, Chen Shou, Chen Ziang, Li Bai, Xue Tao, Su Dongpo, Guo Moruo and Ba Jin shine like a string of shining stars in our literary world. Shu people are rich in literary talents, which is a historical evaluation and an important symbol of Shu's wealth.
The great influence of Sang Hongwen, the first farmer, is that many places in Sichuan still maintain a simple and honest legacy. Taoism was founded by Zhang Ling in the Eastern Han Dynasty in Qingyi River Valley, the main activity area in Can Cong. To this day, these places are still rural folk customs like the Peach Blossom Garden. People are still wearing the Green Tower in Tsing Yi, singing folk songs in tears to worship and remember the God of Tsing Yi.
"Tsing Yi is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the God of Tsing Yi is at the end of white clouds."
Can Cong, the God of Tsing Yi, has been circulating in the middle of Sichuan for a long time, just like the agriculture and mulberry industry he initiated.
(9) Textual research
Minjiang River is the "Taishi Gong" who writes the history of heaven and earth with a magic pen. The Minjiang Stone Statue is psychic. Knowing that some people will want to research it in the future, they will inevitably put the picture of King Can Cong on the stone statue. On this clean stone surface, blue and white lines appear alternately. The falling blue lines are clearly engraved with the patterns of ancient Shu people. At sunset, the ancient Shu people were tall and dressed in Tsing Yi, with a bunch of long upturned hair on the back of their heads, their eyes staring at their faces vertically, their hands arched, and even the figure of sunset photos appeared. Look at that expression, he is bowing to a mountain peak in Qu Zheng, as if silently saying, "I am finally where I should be!" " Geng immediately denied the rumor to his followers, saying, "The founding of the People's Republic is also called Qu, which means I am where I should be!" "
Li, a famous historian in Sichuan, found that Qu Shangcheng was transferred to Nanmumashan in Shuangliu County. The on-the-spot investigation shows that "Jiudaoguai" Mountain is special and has hidden mystery. In front of the mountain, the 800-meter-wide historical Hongjiang ancient river and Liu Yanghe flow down from the foot of Jiudaoguai, and the river is rich in fish; Opposite the Hongjiang River is the flat land of Ma Pingchuan, with criss-crossing rivers and fertile soil, which can be used to grow grain and develop agricultural production. The mountains behind the mountain overlap and fluctuate constantly. Two meandering valleys lead from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain and meet other peaks. In that dense and dark mountain area, there are groups of rabbits, wild sheep, wolves and tigers, who can hunt here and provide meat and protein sources for survival here; Halfway up the hill between the two ravines, it is a land with gentle slope, and the mountain is firmly placed between the two ravines like a huge highest point; The mountains on both sides extend into the distance, just like the wings of a giant eagle. If the gradient flat on the mountainside between the two ditches is compared to the eagle's body, the mountain in front is covered with the eagle's head and the mountain behind is covered with the eagle's tail, and it crosses the historical Hongjiang River from a distance. The terrain here is like a giant eagle about to take off from the ground. Judging from the stoniness of the mountain, it is mostly sandstone, which is a good place for digging holes to live and multiply. The terrain can enter and retreat, and it can be guarded and defended, which is convenient for external contact, and people can see that this is a "feng shui" treasure land. King Can Cong led his troops to visit the ancient Minjiang River on a raft, or trudged along the coast to the foot of Muma Mountain. He took a fancy to Jiudaoguai at a glance and decided to establish a country here to govern Shu, named "Qu". It means the best place for people to establish the rule of Shu. Mr. Li Jinyi, the late Sichuan Provincial Museum of Literature and History, thought that "Qu" could be interpreted as "Qu Dao", saying that everyone in Qufu Mountain had been here, especially today, "going to the street" can be described as "going to the street". Gu Jiegang, a famous historian, came to the conclusion after inspecting the Shuangliu Muma Mountain in 29 years of the Republic of China: "This is a mountain at the beginning of the western plain. Although it is very low and small, Fu Gang haunts like a city wall, and its defense is very convenient. Here the country can control the plains, the mountains are easy to cultivate, and self-sufficiency is enough. If I were the king at that time and came to this successful place, I would not give up. " "I am sure that Mumashan must be a good place, and the ruins of Duyu (Yu) capital may be discovered, and the ancient tombs are more promising to be excavated in large numbers."
This stone is strange. Open the back, there are patterns on the stone. On the fast-flowing river, an old-looking man is waving a bamboo pole to swim to the shore, which coincides with the scene when he led troops from the upper reaches of Minjiang River to Qu. It is appropriate to name this stone Wang Qu.
