Qi Huangong hunts jiangshan wetland

author:Cheng Canmo

In 585 BC, Duke Huan of Qi succeeded to the throne, appointed Guan Zhong as xiang, and began to implement the change of law. Under Guan Zhong's change of law, the national strength of the State of Qi has increased significantly, and the economy, military, and society have been significantly improved, but there are still many gaps in wanting to become the hegemon of the masses. Among them, the Lai state that has been in opposition to it for hundreds of years is the princely state that must be destroyed on the road to the rise of the State of Qi. Later, Duke Huan of Qi once again heeded Guan Zhong's advice, while minting currency, while buying firewood from Lai at a high price, so that the entire Lai country fell into a firewood rush and abandoned agriculture. Two years later, the State of Qi announced that it would not buy firewood from lai in the future. At this point, the country suffered, because the grain they ate for two years had always been the grain they had stored in the past, and now that they had eaten it, there was almost nothing left in their market. After 28 months, the State of Lai voluntarily surrendered to the State of Qi. After the victory of The Duke of Qi Huan, he thought of looking at the territory of the once powerful empire. One day, his party came to the Country of Lai to hunt. Where is Feng Yangze? Why did Duke Qi Huan hunt here? The Zhou Li: Xia Guan Fang records: "In the northeast, Youzhou, its Xue Yue Feng was raised in Changguang. "Han and Geographical Chronicles" of the Long Guangben Zhuyun: "Feng Yangze in the west, Qin map known as drama Qingchi, Youzhou Xue." The Kangxi Dictionary also has a similar annotation after the character 豨. The modern publication of the Geographical Fascicle of Cihai and the Dictionary of Ancient and Modern Place Names in China have annotations that read, "Xue Yue was raised in Laiyang County and has long been obsolete". According to this speculation, before the Qin Dynasty, the mouth of the Five Dragon Gorge was not opened, and its northern Fenyangze was a huge and clear lake, and several large hemps poured into it on the east, north and west sides, and the amount of water was abundant. "Laiyang History and Culture Traceability" (compiled by the Laiyang Municipal Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference in December 2009), pages 18-19 "Feng Yangze and Qi Dafu River", in addition to recording that Feng Yangze is north of the mouth of Wulong gorge, also records that for the disappeared Feng YangZe, there is no exact location record in the literature, and the related place names have also changed greatly, so there are different views on the location of Feng YangZe. Some people speculate based on the historical facts of the changing location of Changguang City (the Address of Changguang is also said to be 70 miles southwest of the county, southeast of Changqing Mountain, on the west bank of the Changguang River) that It is also possible that Feng Yangze may also be in the area of Jiangshan Town in southwest Laixi. The terrain here is low-lying, the land is flat, and it is indeed like the appearance of Osawa in the past. There was a legend that Jiang Ziya used to fish here, and there is still a village name called "Diaoyutai". Zhou Rujin, a well-known scholar in Zhangjiabu, Jimo County, during the Ming Dynasty's Wanli Dynasty, witnessed that there was "a platform" and that "cultivators on the side of the platform often received rubble". Thinking about it, Qi Huangong went hunting in lai this time, first, in order to appreciate its style, of which the famous Feng Yangze was his fascination. When the summer rainfall in this wetland is large, the water surface will have a feeling of clouds and mist, and in the winter and spring, the water will recede, the grass and trees will flourish, and all kinds of rare birds and animals will live and breed, which is suitable for fishing and hunting. The Duke of Qi Huan knew very well that civilization was built on water, and when a place had water, it had aura. Second, by hanging the ancestor Jiang Ziya. Jiang Taigong, also known as Lü Shang, was the ancestor of the State of Qi, and the "Records of History" recorded him as "a man from the East China Sea", and the "Mencius" recorded: "The former Taigong was on the shore of the East China Sea". Its fief "Yingqiu" is not far from here, and it is not impossible to imagine that it is involved in this area. Third, from the geographical point of view, here is more than 100 kilometers away from Qidu Linzi, the traffic is convenient, and it is very convenient to play hunting. While hunting in Feng Yangze, the chariot galloped and galloped, compared to the shooting, Qi Huangong suddenly stopped looking, half speechless, and his face was afraid. He said to Guan Zhong next to him, "I have seen a ghost, Father Zhong, have you seen it?" Guan Zhong said, "My subordinates didn't see anything." Qi Huangong was suspicious, and after returning home, he fell ill and did not go to the court for several days. After the crown prince of the State of Qi knew about this, he went to see Duke Huan and said, "This is your own heart disease, how can evil spirits hurt you?" Huan Gong asked, "Aren't there any ghosts?" Indeed, I personally saw it. The prince said, "Indeed, there are ghosts, there are hammers on the mountains, there are wanderings in the wilderness, and there are snakes in the water." When you hunt in Mizusawa, you will naturally see snakes. Huan Gong asked, "What is the shape of the snake?" The crown prince said: "The size of the snake is the same as the hub, the length is similar to the rut, and it wears purple clothes with a red crown." He didn't like to hear the sound of thunder and often stood with his head propped up. Whoever sees him can dominate the world, so he is not what ordinary people can see. Hearing this, Huan Gong was invigorated, laughed, and said, "This is what I saw!" So he sat down and chatted with the prince. On that day, his illness disappeared without a trace. Later, Duke Huan of Qi indeed became the head of the Spring and Autumn Five. The Spring and Autumn Period was an era when the princes all borrowed gardens to exaggerate, the King of Qi was willing to live under the people, and jiaodong, this piece of feng yangze, must be an important capital for him to create "international" influence and shape the "international" image, but the cause of hegemony, the task is heavy and the road is long, there is still time to open up this garden, Qi Huangong is dying of old age, leaving a lifelong regret. Nowadays, the Qihou hunting of The Qihou Yangze has become the largest inland wetland in the Jiaodong Peninsula, known as "Jiangshan Wetland", with a total area of about 20,000 mu, a water area of 16,000 mu, rare animals and plants are rich and diverse, and there are 282 species of plants that have been discovered and identified, of which 7 are national rare plants; A total of 447 species of animals breed and live here, including more than 20 kinds of national first- and second-class protected animals such as white swans, gray cranes and egrets. Jiangshan Wetland is the largest swamp wetland and wildlife distribution area in Qingdao, with 10,000 acres of lake area, clear water and blue sky, birds flying and swimming in jinfeng, which constitutes a unique natural landscape. Qi Huangong has a spirit in the heavens, and he should also smile through the ages.
