Story summary:
Suzhou has a long history and rich cultural landscape. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, it has become "the intersection of boats and cars, the thoroughfare of Kyushu", and the opening of "Tongji Canal" in the Sui Dynasty has become a military center to "contain the Huaihe River and act as a crossroads between the north and the south". In 809 AD, Suzhou was established in the Tang Dynasty, and the first peasant uprising in the history of China rose in osawa Township at the end of Qin Dynasty. Chu and Han contended, and the decisive battle took place here.
The idiom "ambition of a swan" comes from this.
The story goes like this: At the end of Qin Dynasty, there was a man named Chen Sheng in Huaiyuan County, Bengbu, Anhui Province. He grew up in a poor family and made a living by farming for others. However, he works hard every day, but he often doesn't even have enough to eat three meals.
One day, Bobby Chen was working in the field with other farmers. When eating, everyone sat on the ridge and talked about the hard life now. They are very upset. Chen Sheng thought he couldn't live like this all his life, so he said to his partners, "Whoever has a rich day in the future can't forget the poor brothers who are in trouble now!"
When a farmer heard what he said, he sneered, "We are just farmers who help people cultivate, and we still want to get rich? Probably dreaming! " . Chen Sheng listened and sighed: "How can swallows and sparrows know the ambition of a swan?" How can a short-sighted person know the ambition of an ambitious person?
In July of the first year of Qin Ershi (209 BC), 900 poor farmers in the Huaihe River valley were recruited by the Qin Dynasty to guard the border in Yuyang (now Miyun, Beijing). Chen Shengzai was drafted into the army and became the head of the chariot. When the team arrived in osawa Township, Qixian County (now Xisipo, Suzhou, Anhui Province), it was caught in continuous heavy rain and missed the departure date, so it was cut according to the Qin law. In desperation, Chen Sheng and another Changyang (now Taikang) man, Guangwu, carefully planned and launched an uprising. Chen Sheng established himself as a general and took Guangwu as his surname. He captured osawa Township in one fell swoop, and then quickly captured Qixian County. In this way, the first large-scale peasant uprising war broke out in the history of China.
Nowadays, osawa Township develops tourism, among which the most famous scenic spots are related to historical sites, which are the sites of the first peasant uprising in China history and provincial key cultural relics protection units. There are longan wells, Zhelong trees, statues and Honghu Garden in the scenic area. Classic allusions, such as fish belly painting, burning a prairie fire, and "Yan Zhi Hong Yu Zhi", are interspersed among them, which makes people listen with relish and linger, fully embodying the profound historical and cultural heritage of the town and attracting a large number of tourists to visit it every year.
Suzhou is rich in cultural heritage and many places of interest. The famous ones are Gutai, Huangzangyu, Yuji's Tomb, Jiunv Tomb, Lintan Flower House, Minziqian Temple and Tomb. Huangzangyu National Forest Park was once the place where Liu Bang escaped from Qin Jun. Lingbi County, named for its rich jade, is a battlefield left by the struggle between Chu and Han, leaving a beautiful legend of "Farewell My Concubine". Throughout the ages, it has attracted many poets and poets to remember and praise.
