What is the other end of the chain of "Lock dragon well"? The Japanese were once scared off, is it really a dragon?
It reflects people's ideal of water control for thousands of years, but because this ideal has not yet been realized, people have to rely on myths and stories to meet their psychological needs. However, the Lock Dragon Well actually exists in reality, for example, in Yuzhou there is a Yu Wang Lock Jiao Jing and beijing's Beixinqiao Lock LongJing, which is very famous in the story of the Lock Dragon Well. In folklore, various strange phenomena of the lock dragon well seem to imply that the other end of the lock dragon well is actually unusual.
And generally there are three special places in The Lock Dragon Well. First, the chain of "locking dragons" is generally very long, if we pull him a certain length, the well water will roll; second, when the well water rolls, the bottom of the well will have a strong fishy smell; third, the bottom of the well will come out like the sound of a bull, according to the book, the sound of the dragon is the same as the sound of the cow, so people will wonder, is there really a dragon? Legend has it that under the well of the "Lock Dragon Well" in Beijing's Beixin Bridge, there is an unfathomable sea cave that goes straight to the bottom of the sea. Legend has it that Liu Bowen and Yao Guangxiao locked a black dragon here.
Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, dreamed one day at night about how to ensure the eternity of Zhu's rivers and mountains. In the dream, Zhu Yuanzhang walked leisurely in the back garden. Suddenly, the cloudless sky suddenly darkened, the clouds kept rolling and the thunder rumbled. Zhu Yuanzhang looked up and saw a black dragon in the sky. He whispered to Zhu Yuanzhang: "You have been fighting for many years, you have worked hard and hurt the people, and the people have suffered terribly, and now I want to take back the water of the whole city of Beijing." After Zhu Yuanzhang listened, he immediately woke up from his sleep.
Worried, Zhu Yuanzhang told Liu Bowen about this dream. Liu Bowen quickly asked Yao Guangxiao for advice. The Black Dragon originally intended to connect the sea with the springs of Beijing City, but under the resistance of Yao Guangxiao and others, the Black Dragon was captured. Yao Guangxiao then tied the black dragon to a chain, made him reflect on the mistakes he had made here, and promised the dragon king to let him out when he was old at the bridge. But how can Yao Ming let go? He renamed it Beixin Bridge, making it an ageless bridge. The black dragon was locked inside forever.
According to records, during the War of Resistance Against Japan, some Japanese people came to Suolongjing, and they suspected that some of our soldiers were hiding underground, so they wanted to pull out the chains and force the soldiers inside to surrender. As a result, the Japanese army pulled for half a day, not only did not pull to the end of the chain, but also heard a low, deep roar. The tighter it was pulled, the faster the sound came out of it. The Japanese were very frightened when they saw this strange thing. They thought that the other end of the chain led directly to the sea, perhaps a dragon was locked, and immediately ordered a retreat.
In fact, the Lock Dragon Well is a natural wellbore discovered by the ancients, and the bottom of the shaft is connected to the underground river. Because the large number of chains in the well changed the flow direction and impact angle of the groundwater, people mistakenly thought that a dragon was locked. The "cow roar" is the sound produced by the chain rubbing against the well wall during the pulling process, or the sound made by the chain itself, rather than the dragon roar.
