source

The full name of the snake chopping stele is Liu Bang's snake chopping stele, which is erected by later generations in memory of Liu Bang's snake chopping uprising. The historical allusion of the snake cutting uprising comes from Sima Qian's historical records: Gaozu sent his disciples to Lishan by taking the pavilion as the chief, and many of them died. When he stopped drinking at fengxize, jiezong sent his disciples at night and said, "all the men are going! I will die from now on. More than ten of them were willing to follow. Gaozu was drunk at night. When one person was asked to go, the person who went back said, "there is a big snake in front of us. I'd like to return it. When he was drunk, Gao Zu said, "what's the fear of a strong man! The snake was divided into two parts. A few miles, drunk because of lying. When later generations came to the snake house, an old woman cried at night. Why do people cry? The woman said, "people kill my son, so they cry. The man said, "why did you kill me? "The woman said," my son, the son of white Emperor, became a snake and was in charge of the way. Now it was the son of Red Emperor who cut it, so he cried. "People regard the woman as dishonest. If they want to punish her, she will not be seen. Later generations came to Gaozu and told him. Gaozu was only happy and conceited, and the followers were increasingly afraid of it. Emperor Qinshihuang tasted and said, "there is emperor Qi in the southeast. He was tired of traveling to the East. Gaozu suspected himself and hid himself in the rocks of mangdangshanze. Empress Lu asked for it all, and often got it. Gao Zu asked? Empress Lu said, "there are always clouds in the place where Ji lives, so he always gets the season. "Gaozu is happy! Peizhong's children may hear about it, but most of them want to be attached.

Mangdangshan is located in Mangshan Town, Yongcheng City, Henan Province. In order to commemorate Gaozu's snake cutting uprising, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty ordered to erect a stele and build a temple at Mangdang Mountain. In the Ming Dynasty, the stele was re carved. The sacrificial temple built by Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty was also excavated in recent years. Mangdang Mountain is not only the place of Liu Bang's uprising, but also the place of the dragon vein of the Han Dynasty. Liu Wu, the grandson of Liu Bang and the second son of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, has been buried here for generations.

history

In memory of the former Emperor, Emperor Wen of the Han dynasty built the Gaozu temple in front of the ziqiyan (the seclusion place of the Han Gaozu) in Mangdangshan mountain, and erected the stele of cutting snake in front of the temple. But the stele of beheading snake has long gone.

Later, a new stele was erected in the Ming Dynasty. The stele is 2.39 meters high, 1.15 meters wide and 0.22 meters thick. On the forehead of the stele are the words "sun and moon" and "the place where the snake was cut by Han Gao". The pedestal is a huge stone. In 1983, due to the old age and poor protection, the inscriptions were incomplete, and a new one was set up. The front of the stele is engraved with the original stele inscription, and the Yin of the stele is engraved with the cause of the stele. In order to protect the new monument, an antique hexagonal pavilion with a height of 4.2 meters is also built, which is simple and elegant.

legend

In March 1983, when a driver was walking at night, he found an image of a man on the stone tablet, and later generations competed to watch it. Although there are different opinions, no one can deny the "wonders of the world" on this stone tablet. When night falls and the light is directly on the tablet, the stone tablet more than two meters high suddenly disappears. There is a golden image of the emperor who clearly wants to come to you. He is very rich, wearing a crown, a Dragon Robe, a jade belt around his waist, high boots, a black beard in one hand and a sword in the other The sense of body is just like the person in the painting, just like the reappearance of Liu Bang who fought in the army. CCTV's "into science", "all over China", "journey of discovery", China Tourism Satellite TV, Phoenix Satellite TV, Fujian TV, Hunan TV, Taiwan Zhongtian and other TV stations came to decrypt it, but so far there is no solution.
