Welcome to pay attention to "Fangzhi Sichuan"!
Xingjing County Town Square
Heisha Cultural Square, Xingjing County, Sichuan Province, also known as Yingjing Square, is built on the Niutoushan Cemetery, with a ramp step, divided into three themes: history, reality and the future, reflecting the historicity, sacredness, grandeur, and public welfare, while increasing the cultural and leisure venues of Xingjing citizens.
Mole Square
In front of the square, there is a tall and burly sculpture, which is one of the three emperors and five emperors, the ancestor of the Chinese nation. Since ancient times, there have been many ancient classics that record the geographical location of Ruoshui, and through the study of ancient books and related research, it is public opinion that Ruoshui was born. But where is Ruoshui in the "History of the Five Emperors"? In the Republic of China version of the Xingjing County Chronicle, Wang Yuanzao, a prominent figure in the late Qing Dynasty, said in his preface: "If the water is in Yandao", and Yandao is in today's Xingjing County. Wang Yuanzao's reason comes from the Han Dynasty's "Notes on the Water Classics": "Between black water and green water, if the water comes out." He believes that in the east of Xingjing County, there is the Qingyi River, that is, Qingshui; in the west, there is the Dadu River, and its upper reaches are called Lushui, which is black, so Lushui is black water. In addition, the Classic of Mountains and Seas also says, "If a mountain is born of wood, if the water comes out... To the east of the quicksand and to the west of the green water, it is ruoshui also. "The location of Xingjing County is just east of the Liusha River, west of the Tsing yi river, north of The Wawu Mountain, and the Jing River originates from the Wawu Mountain, which coincides with the ruoshui mentioned in historical books such as the Classic of Mountains and Seas and the Notes on the Water Classic.

According to the "History of history, volume 1, the first of the five emperors", "The Great Dai Li Wu Di De", "Liezi Tang Qing", "Shan Hai Jing", "Zuo Chuan", "Lü Shi Chunqiu", "Huainan Zi" and other documents, the Yellow Emperor's son ChangYi's concubine Chang Yi, also known as the female shu, saw one night in the sky that there was a vision of "the star of Yaoguang running through the moon like a rainbow", and because of this, she became pregnant, and later gave birth to a mole.

He arrived in the Central Plains after 13 years of life and ascended the throne at the age of 20.

Reliefs on the right side of the museum, carving the war between the mound and the co-workers for the throne. According to legend, the water god Gonggong was a descendant of Emperor Yan, and there were many contradictions with the Xuanyuan family. After Emperor Huan ascended the throne, he worked together to gather disgruntled gods to jointly oppose Emperor Huan. The rebellious gods elected the co-workers as their allies and formed an army. He lit seventy-two beacon towers and summoned the princes of the four directions to provide rapid support; on the one hand, the soldiers and horses guarding Gyeonggi were personally commanded to meet the battle. A fierce battle unfolded, and the communists killed less and less, and the communists went to the northwest of the Buzhou Mountain, with only thirteen horses left around. The Mountain of Buzhou was abrupt and stood tall against the sky, blocking the way. This mountain is actually a huge pillar that supports the sky. Gonggong let out an angry cry in despair and crashed desperately into Mount Buzhou, but Mount Buzhou was actually broken by his waist and collapsed. In the end, Huan Defeated the Gonggong and unified China.
