There is a widely spread folk legend in Beijing, it is said that there is a lock dragon well in the sea eye of Beijing, that is, the boundary of today's Beixin Bridge, and a Xingyuan dragon that has been trapped for more than 600 years is locked under the well.
The mysterious legend of kita-shinbashi
Before Zhu Yuanzhang built the capital beijing in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, in order to calm the water, Liu Bowen and Yao Guangxiao had a fight with longgong, and later with the help of Yue Fei to suppress the flood, captured longgong, and locked him in the sea eye of the Beixin Bridge, on which a deep well tube was built, a long chain was tied, and a temple with three halls was built in the well. The temple offers a statue of Yue Fei.
Long Gong asked before being locked into the eye of the sea, "Master Yao Jun, do you want to imprison me for a thousand years or ten thousand years?" When will I be able to come out? Yao Guangxiao said, "When this bridge is old, repair the wings of the bridge, it will be the day you will emerge." "Since the beginning of this fight, this place has been called Beixin Bridge, and BeixinQiao has never had any bridge wings."
Before the construction of the construction site, there were also elderly people who visited here.
After the discovery of this ancient well, some people said that there were originally two wells here, one of which was used to lock the Dragon King, and the other was used by the guards who guarded Yue Fei Temple to draw water.
The sea eye of Beijing Beixin Bridge passed twice, one time was the Japanese army entering Beijing, pulling up the big iron chain, pulling it for a kilometer or two, just look at the bottom of the whirring upward yellow soup, and there was also a faint sound of the sea breeze, accompanied by a fishy smell. The Japanese panicked and hurriedly returned the chain; the second time, the Red Guards broke the four old and pulled the large iron chain upwards, and the result was the same as that of the Japanese army. I was also all scared silly, and quickly restored my original appearance.
The most recent thing related to the sea eye of the Beixin Bridge was to build the subway, saying that in order not to destroy an ancient well in the Beixin Bridge, the subway detoured how many kilometers.
Although there are many opinions about the sea eye, the well and the iron chain are not fictional, and the sea eye of the Beixin Bridge is not a place in Beijing. There are also several more detailed rumors and experiences, in summary, there is indeed a dragon well, there is a long chain, there is a temple next to the well, as to whether there is a real dragon is unknown. We can only expect people to rediscover the dragon well and the iron chain and unveil the doubts of the ages.
