Creation of Ancient Clock in Majuqiao Primary School in Tangshan City
There is a huge bronze bell hanging. The bells are loud and long, and can be heard miles away in Fiona Fang. Known as the "king of ancient clocks". How was such a huge bronze bell cast? Legend has it that there is an iron bell in the bell tower, but it is not loud enough, so the emperor ordered craftsmen from all over the world to cast it. But three years later, the bronze bell still failed to be cast. The emperor was furious and beheaded the eunuch who was in charge of casting the clock, and ordered that the clock should be cast within 80 days, otherwise all craftsmen would be beheaded.

The master who cast the clock was the famous coppersmith Hua. In order to make this clock, he didn't think about tea and rice, couldn't sleep at night, and exhausted his efforts. When he got home that day, he kept saying, "Why can't you make a clock?" ? I'm afraid something is missing! "At that time, my daughter Hua Xian came over. Talking about Hua Xian is really a good girl. She was very clever since she was a child, and she learned a lot of coppersmith's craft from her father. Because of her mother's early death, she took on a heavy burden at the age of fourteen. Now she is sixteen years old and looks like a fairy. Everyone praised the old coppersmith for raising a good girl.

She has been thinking about casting a clock for many days. Seeing this, he hurried forward and said, "Dad, is it because the fire was not done well?" The old coppersmith patted his thigh: "That makes sense!" Then I thought, "But how to raise the furnace temperature?" "I have an idea." Hua Xian said confidently, "You can take me to the bell casting day. It's time to cast the bell. The court officials and craftsmen are all here, but the temperature of the stove still can't get up.

Seeing that the last pot of copper water will fail again, Hua Yan's eyes are red with anxiety. Just then, a girl suddenly flew out of the crowd. It was the beautiful Hua Xian. She is wearing a red coat and trousers, and a pair of red embroidered shoes. I saw her rush to the hearth and jump into the stove. Hua Yan didn't catch it, only an embroidered little shoe. Brake time, fire, copper water rolling. The old coppersmith ordered helplessly, "Cast a clock!" With the concerted efforts of craftsmen Qi Xin, the bronze bell was finally cast.

In memory of this beautiful girl who devoted herself to casting clocks, people respectfully called her "Queen of Casting Clock". Every stormy evening, the bell is sad and sad. At this time, mothers in Beijing used to say to their children, "Go to sleep, the bell tower is ringing, and the Queen Zhu Zhong wants her embroidered shoes ..."
