Xiang Yu (232 ~ 202 BC) was born in Qin Dynasty (now Sucheng District, Suqian, Jiangsu). Xiang Yan, Xiang Yu's grandfather, was a famous soldier of Chu, so Xiang Yu claimed to be the overlord of Chu, with nine counties of Liang and Chu as its territory.

At first, Xiang Yu followed his uncle Xiang Liang to attack Qin.

Xiang Yu followed his uncle Xiang Liang against Qin.

Historical records? Biography of Xiang Yu records that Xiang Yu was killed and took refuge in Xiang Liang in Wuzhong. They lived in Huiji area (Shaoxing). At that time, they lived in seclusion in Li Xiang village. Because Xiang Yu once lived in seclusion here, the village was renamed "Li Xiang Village". Moreover, the local people also built the Yu Temple in A Xiang in Li Xiang Village, offering Xiang Yu as a bodhisattva. Building a temple for Xiang Yu is rare in all parts of the country.

Thus, Li Xiang Village and Xiang Yu are inextricably linked in history. The local rumors about Xiang Yu's golden gong treasure may be true. If so, how valuable is the legendary Da Ruolun 12 Golden Gong?

Since 1973, archaeologists have excavated a large number of chariots in the pit of Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang, and the wheel diameter of many chariots is about1.4m. If the size of the golden gongs buried by Xiang Yu is the same as these wheels, the diameter of these golden gongs should be about1.4m.. Even today, gongs of this size are rare, let alone golden ones.

Gong with such a large size is rare today.

Generally, the center of a gong is slightly higher, and the size, thickness and area ratio of the high part determine the timbre of the gong. Although the sound made by a low-frequency gong is dull, it can travel far.

Xiang Yu's purpose of casting 12 golden gong is to drill the army with gong sound, so the gong he cast is probably a low-frequency gong. However, some experts expressed doubts about the casting level of bronze gongs in the late Qin Dynasty. They think that according to the technology at that time, it is not very possible to cast1.4m golden gongs. Because a 1.4-meter golden gong weighs about 1560 Jin, it is almost unimaginable to complete it only by the technical level at that time.

This understanding of experts may be related to people's belief that gongs are cast, but in fact the original processing technology of gongs is knocked out with a hammer.

At present, the maximum diameter of Gong can be processed to about 1.5 meters, and the modern production technology of air hammer is widely used. Therefore, experts believe that in the processing technology at the end of Qin Dynasty, the diameter of gong is no more than 70-80 cm at most.

According to people's speculation, when Xiang Yu cast a gong to command the army and send a signal, then the gong must make a loud noise. Legend has it that if Xiang Yu really cast a golden gong with 80% gold and 20% copper, then the 12 gold gong ordered to be cast could not only command the army and signal at all, but even be so soft that it could hardly be played.

Mysterious interpretation of Xiang Yu's treasure

For more than two thousand years, countless people have studied the characters on Caowan Mountain, but so far no one can decipher the meaning of these characters. It is said that Zhang Dai, a famous scholar in Shaoxing in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, tried to solve the mystery of characters, but lived in Caowan Mountain for several months. As a result, he was disappointed and failed to do so.

Zhang Dai was a writer of Ming Dynasty in China. He has a wide range of hobbies and great aesthetic ability. He likes to travel, and he is well versed in garden layout. Know both music and piano music; Good tea, tea ceremony kung fu is quite profound; Like to collect, high appreciation level; Proficient in Chinese opera, directors and critics all demand perfection. Such a well-learned and famous scholar failed to solve the mystery of Xiang Yu's hidden treasure figure, which shows the difficulty of this mysterious figure's answer.

Historical records? There is such a description in Biography of Xiang Yu: "Xiang Liang (Uncle Xiang Yu) killed people in Wuzhong, so as not to be enemies with his family (Xiang Yu). Qin Shihuang visited Huiji and visited Zhejiang, and Liang and his family felt the same way. Yue Ji: "He can replace it." Liang covered his mouth and said,' Don't talk nonsense, clan! "

A large part of all kinds of puzzles in history can be answered in history.

Obviously, there is a brief record in the history books that Xiang Yu and his uncle Xiang Liang lived in seclusion in Li Xiang Village. Therefore, a large part of the puzzles in history can be answered in history.

Do local villagers explain historical records like this? According to the records in Biography of Xiang Yu, they said: "It is mentioned in the history books that Qin Shihuang once traveled to Huiji, which is the Huiji Mountain next to us. Our village is more than ten kilometers away from Huiji Mountain. Since it is mentioned in the history books that Xiang Yu met Qin Shihuang and visited Huiji Mountain, then Xiang Yu may live in our village! "

However, Ge, a famous historical geographer in China and a professor at Fudan University, disagreed. He said, "Xiang Yu can't live in Li Xiang village. The' Huiji Mountain' mentioned in the historical records does not refer to Huiji Mountain in Shaoxing, but to Huiji County at that time, mainly including most of southern Jiangsu and Zhejiang today. "

Although Professor Ge said so, it is not enough to deny that Xiang Yu once lived in the village. Therefore, Professor Ge further explained: "At that time, Xiang Yu followed his uncle Xiang Liang to take refuge in Wuzhong, which is now Suzhou, Jiangsu.

Some experts believe that Xiang Yu's treasures and mysterious symbols are based on folklore.

Suzhou was the territory of Chu during the Warring States Period, and many old Chu departments lived here, so Xiang Yu, the descendant of General Chu, took refuge in Suzhou. Moreover, the old headquarters of Chu was still very powerful in Suzhou at that time, and most of them lived in the city. Xiang Yu and Xiang Liang will naturally stay with them in order to gather the insurgents. In other words, living in Suzhou, it is impossible to go to the remote mountain village of Li Xiang Village in Zhejiang to recruit. "

Accordingly, some experts believe that Xiang Yu's treasures and mysterious symbols are based on folklore and lack certain scientificity. However, sometimes folklore can also provide us with important clues. Sometimes legends are not groundless, and people don't find more, just because we lack proper interpretation.

Just like the mysterious figure of Xiang Yu's golden gongs, someone has summed up these words: "There are 12 golden gongs in front of the temple and behind it, with a triangular head, a bridge with three eyes and a fork in the road." Where are the addresses in these sentences?

A person who has studied Xiang Yu's culture in rural areas for many years has made a careful investigation in Caowan Mountain and its surrounding areas, and made a judgment that the treasure buried by Xiang Yu in those years may be under a dry well at the entrance of Li Xiang village. Unfortunately, the dry well has been filled by the newly built cement road.

Over the years, the legend of Xiang Yu's treasure hunt has been circulating in the local area. However, when the "treasure land" has landed, the local people are unmoved and even have no idea of "digging the road to have a look", which is surprising.

The stone engraved with mysterious words is still waiting quietly in Caowan Mountain. What it is waiting for may not be treasure, but a mystery about treasure, which can be pursued by people.
