In 199 AD, the fourth year of Jian'an, Zhou Yu, a celebrity from the Three Kingdoms who was only 25 years old, led his two thousand soldiers and followed his sworn brother Sun Ce from Soochow to the west. Sweep. Quickly "pulling out Wan", that is, capturing the place "Wan". Today's Anhui Province is abbreviated as "Wan". Its origin comes from the fact that this was a fiefdom of the ancient Anhui Kingdom. The center of this "Wan Kingdom" is the current Qianshan area.
Regarding the historical event of Zhou Yu and Sun Ce's capture of "Wan", Chen Shou recorded this in "The Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms: Biography of Zhou Yu": "Attack Anhui and pull it out. At that time, I got the two daughters of Qiao Gong, They are all of national beauty. (Sun) Ce took care of Da Qiao, and (Zhou) took in Xiao Qiao. "The "two daughters of Qiao Gong" here are Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao. When "Qiao" was used as a surname, the ancients also wrote "Qiao".
Even beauties cannot escape the defeat and loss of territory. It seems that this has been the case since ancient times. Chen Shou said that the two daughters of Qiao Gong were "both of national beauty", which shows that these are two peerless beauties who were taken alive by the generals who brought him as their own: his brother Sun Ce, who was only one month older than Zhou Yu, took possession of Da Qiao, and Zhou Yu It goes without saying that the poor "father-in-law" Qiao Gong feels extremely miserable after losing Xiao Qiao - is there anything more sad in the world than losing one's own flesh and blood? But Sun Ce calmly said to Zhou Yu: "Brother, although Mr. Qiao's two daughters have been separated from each other since then, he got us as sons-in-law in one day, which is enough for him to be happy for a lifetime." It can be imagined that these two people When the unparalleled hero was proud, he seemed to feel a little compassion.
Of course, in this topic, we don’t have more time to cry with Mr. Qiao. What needs to be told to readers is: Although Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao are extremely beautiful, they are different from millions of women of that era. Same, no names; their place of origin is Qianshan, Anhui. Today, there is still the "Qiao Gong Manor" where Er Qiao lived and played in Qianshan, and nearby there is the "Rouge Well" where Er Qiao used water for washing.
There is a beautiful legend about the origin of Rouge Well. The Erqiao sisters live in a boudoir, pampered and pampered, and dressing up is an important "course" every day. Every day I went to the Rouge Well to wash myself, and the residual water from the Rouge flowed into the well. Over time, the water in this well not only had a fragrant aroma, but also became reddish and bright in color. As a result, various beautiful legends related to Er Qiao came out. , saying that the water in this well can be "beautified". For thousands of years, Rouge Well has been left alone in the wild, but people who love beauty have always been enthusiastic about protecting this well. Now, it is surrounded by cement and steel bars and is being developed as a tourist attraction.
Shangqiu: the ancestral home of Er Qiao
People from Shangqiu, Henan Province joined the competition for "Er Qiao", and the starting point was Qiao Xuan.
The official history "Book of the Later Han" contains "The Biography of Qiao Xuan", which states that Qiao Xuan was named Gongzu and was a native of Suiyang in the Liang Kingdom. The "Suiyang of Liang State" in the Later Han Dynasty is now Shangqiu, Henan. In this way, people in Shangqiu call Qiao Xuan "my fellow countryman", which is certainly justified.
"The Biography of Qiao Xuan" also said that Qiao Xuan was a famous figure in the Later Han Dynasty, and his relationship with Cao Cao was very unusual. He was born in 109 AD and died in 183 AD, living at the age of 75. When Cao Cao first came out, many people didn't know what he was capable of, but when Qiao Xuan saw him, he said: "I have met too many famous people in the world, but none of them are like you! If you work hard, you will have a bright future. I am already old." After I die, please take care of my wife and children!" It can be seen that Qiao Xuan fell in love with Cao Cao's "Bo Le" and trusted Cao Cao very much. After Cao Cao became prosperous, he always remembered Qiao Xuan's kindness and paid homage when he passed Qiao Xuan's tomb.
People in Shangqiu say that this "Qiao Xuan" is Er Qiao's father, Qiao Gong, whom Sun Ce and Zhou Yu "obtained" when they captured "Wan". Therefore, Shangqiu is Er Qiao's ancestral home.
In fact, this statement is wrong, because Sun Ce and Zhou Yu attacked "Wan" in 199 AD, and Qiao Xuan had died 17 years ago. If Qiao Xuan was Qiao Gong, how could there be " How about the statement that although Mr. Qiao’s two daughters are living in exile, they will be happy to have me as their husband-in-law?”
In addition, Xiao Qiao was born in 177 AD, and Qiao Xuan was 69 years old that year, so Xiao Qiao cannot be Qiao Xuan's daughter.
Documents record that Qiao Xuan only had one son, named Qiao Yu, who once served as an official in Rencheng.
It can be seen that Qiao Xuan was mistakenly regarded as Qiao Gong, which is why "Shangqiu is the ancestral home of Er Qiao".
Jiayu: Uncle Erqiao’s Home
At the beginning of the new year, Jiayu County, Hubei Province announced that the government will invest 30 million yuan this year to build "Erqiao Park", known as the Three Kingdoms The beauties Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao at that time once "bathed in hot springs" in Jiayu, so they planned to create a "Three Kingdoms style landscape" in this county.
Jiayu County claims to the outside world that the county is rich in historical and cultural resources of the Three Kingdoms. In addition to Erqiao, there is also the Lukou Ancient Battlefield. It is located in the Yangtze River and is an "island mountain". Local people call it It is "Yuyue Mountain". Documentary records say: "The mountains are all stone. The cliff on the west side is towering, and the caves are strange and dangerous... When the water rises in the summer moon, there will be fish jumping in the waves." From a distance, this island looks like "fish on the mountain." ", hence the name of Yuyue Mountain. On the cliff on the back of the mountain, there were originally three words "Arrow Collection Place". It is said that during the Battle of Chibi, Kong Ming "borrowed arrows from a straw boat" and Cao Cao took the arrows from here. In 1957, this inscribed "stone" was blown up during road construction on the island. Now, in order to develop tourism, the three bright red words "Arrow Collection Site" have appeared on the mountain.
The Jiayu people also decided to set up a large statue of Erqiao and a jade pillow root sculpture of Erqiao in the scenic spot, and develop the ancient natural well where Erqiao bathed into a modern style hot spring pool... with the vicissitudes of ancient times, There are also modern openings. Obviously, this is a good "Three Kingdoms Travel Card".
It is a fact that there is an ancient battlefield in Jiayu, but how do the Jiayu people integrate "Er Qiao Bathing" and "Thatched Boat Borrowing Arrows" with the local environment? The local people found "loopholes" in the literature.
Jiayu people say: Er Qiao’s father is Qiao Xuan, and Qiao Xuan was a famous official in the late Han Dynasty. In his early years, he once lived in a Chinese medicine family in "Shayangbao". Later, he married the daughter of the Chinese medicine family and gave birth to Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao. And this "Shayang Fort" is now Jiayu County. Therefore, it is certain that Qiao Xuan got married in Jiayu, and perhaps Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao were also born in Jiayu; the baby by the water has good water qualities. , so there is a saying that Er Qiao "washes all the hot springs" - at least, Jiayu is Er Qiao's "Grandma's Bay".
Jiayu people also said that Jiayu was the wedding place of Er Qiao's father; Sun Ce and Zhou Yu "got" Er Qiao in Qianshan, which only means that Er Qiao's wedding place was in Qianshan, and It cannot be said that Er Qiao was born in Qianshan.
It can be seen that the main "evidence" of the card played by the Jiayu people is based on "Qiao Xuan once lived in Jiayu". In fact, even if Qiao Xuan once lived in Jiayu, this has nothing to do with the beautiful Er Qiao. I have already talked about the relationship between Qiao Xuan and Qianshan Qiao Gong in the previous article, so I won’t talk about it here.
But in any case, Jiayu people have invested in playing this "Er Qiao card", the style leisure is about to begin, and the "Er Qiao Hometown" tourism trademark has been officially registered.
With the help of a legend that does not exist at all, you can actually make a big tourist cake. Is this the boredom of people in the world pursuing beauty? Or is this curved ball that has no edge to begin with confusing the eyes of the world? What is going on seems to be an academic dispute, but the money-making activities of the murlocs have already begun!
Yiwu: The hometown of the father-in-law
After these claims were made about Erqiao’s hometown, people in Yiwu, Zhejiang said, “I really can’t sit still”! What is the reason for this?
There is Qiaoting Village in Chi'an Town in the southwest mountainous area of ??Yiwu. People in this village say: "This is the hometown of Duke Qiao, the head of the Eastern Wu Kingdom during the Three Kingdoms period. It is also the hometown of the great beauty Er Qiao."
p>
There is almost no documentary evidence to say that this is the hometown of Mr. Qiao. However, 65-year-old Feng Changyin, an old villager who studied Er Qiao in the village, said: "Qiaoting is full of shadows of big and small Qiaos. There are many stories about Er Qiao. There are countless place names and legends in Qiaoting. The ancient buildings include Jingxiu Hall and Shuhua Hall. These two ancient houses were built by Feng Shu, a local Gongsheng student, in memory of "Er Qiao" during the Qianlong period. Because Da Qiao was young. She is a widow and is named "Jingxiu"; Xiao Qiao is a great beauty and is named "Shuhhua". The Jingxiu Hall is well preserved and has been listed as a cultural relic protection site in Yiwu City; The two stone carvings on the mountain are respectively engraved with "Qiao Xian Chu" and "You Zhu Ju". They were discovered in 2006 when the village applied for provincial cultural demonstration village. Qiao Yuefeng has "Double Shore" and the back mountain has "Da." "Feifeng" and "Xiao Feifeng"; the strangest thing is that the two bridges on Qiaoxi are called "Big Bridge" and "Little Bridge". Although the bridges have been destroyed and rebuilt many times, the name of the bridge in the next village has never changed. 'Shicheng Village', there are 'Dasuntang', 'Xiaosuntang', and nearby there are 'Shangsuntang Village', 'Xiasuntang Village', etc. ”
Former deputy of the Yiwu CPPCC. Chairman Feng Zhilai said: "The ancients, like today's people, often moved and lived. For thousands of years, there were only a few villages with only one surname. The same is true for Qiaoting. During the Three Kingdoms period, the surname was Qiao. After the Eastern Jin Dynasty, in order to avoid the Sima family, Due to persecution, the population gradually decreased. In the Tang Dynasty, the surname Tao was the main surname. From the Ming Dynasty to the present, the surname "Qiaoting" has not changed for more than two thousand years.
After research by Yiwu people, they found that there is currently no theme park directly named after Erqiao in the country, so the city's Chi'an Town took the lead in launching the "Erqiao" brand, fully integrating Erqiao culture with local culture and leisure culture, and preparing to build "Erqiao" "Erqiao Hometown Style Leisure Park", a leisure park covering an area of ??300 acres and with an initial investment of 5 million yuan, has begun to take shape. Yiwu people also applied for the graphic trademark of "Er Qiao's Hometown" in the first half of last year. It is reported that the State Administration for Industry and Commerce has accepted the application.
There is also an entrepreneur in Yiwu who is keen on studying Yue culture. He is particularly fond of "Er Qiao Culture". He even named his twin daughters Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao. He suggested that Yiwu establish a research association specializing in the "Er Qiao Culture", protect relevant scenic spots and historic sites, speed up the research and excavation of historical materials of the Three Kingdoms figures, and vigorously develop the tourism economy.
It can be seen that the "Er Qiao card" played by Yiwu people is based on the name of "Qiaoting Village". If the village is really "the surname Qiao who lived in the Three Kingdoms period", then there are What can prove that the surname Qiao has the father of Er Qiao? As for linking the two old Qing Dynasty houses and a series of "paired" place names with Er Qiao, such an attachment can no longer be discussed with any documentary or academic research and argumentation.
I don’t know if you are satisfied.
