Zhaoyun stationed at Ciqikou.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Guan Yu was in Jingzhou, Zhang Fei was in Langzhong, and Zhao Yun was stationed in Jiangzhou. Ciqikou, located at the intersection of land and water in eastern Sichuan and northern Sichuan, is the "foreign agency" of Jiangzhou. Because of its special status, it is a must-see place for Zhao Yun every month, where he often examines official documents and handles cases. Thus, from the Three Kingdoms to the Republic of China, the practice of "coming to the magnetic office for one day every month" has been passed down [5].
Anecdote of Emperor Jianwen's seclusion
Zhu Yunwen succeeded to the throne in the first year of the founding of the People's Republic of China (1398), and was called Hui Di, whose year number was Jianwen, and was called Jianwen Emperor in history. He was defeated by his fourth uncle, Yan Wang Zhu Di (later Ming Chengzu) in the fourth year of Ming Jianwen (1402), and lived among the people without knowing what to do. Legend has it that he came to Ciqikou many times and lived in seclusion in Baolun Temple. Therefore, Baolun Temple is also known as Longyin Temple and Ciqikou is also known as Long Yin Town. The deep well in Ciqikou main street was originally an abandoned dry well. When Emperor Jianwen was wandering to Ciqikou, one day, he was hungry and thirsty, and he had to avoid the scrutiny of the past pass. When he was desperate, he plunged into this dry well. Suddenly, a clear spring gushed out from the bottom of the well. Emperor Jianwen was overjoyed and drank with a clear spring in his hand, and his thirst disappeared after drinking. Later, she was rescued by a peasant woman and escaped this disaster. He was moved by the kindness of Ciqikou people, so he devoted himself to Baiya Temple (today's Baolun Temple, also known as Long Yin Temple in the past) and became a monk. After Emperor Jianwen left, the peasant woman was deeply surprised. It was a dry well, so how could there be water? She decided that it was unusual and bought the land to build a house. Since this dry well has water, many dry wells in Ciqikou have flowed out sweet and delicious springs, so the people also call this well "raw water well". Later, knowledge was the cause of Emperor Jianwen, and the people also called it "monk's well". Later, after years of misinformation, the well was dug deeper and deeper, and everyone used to call it "deep well" [5].
In the painter's village beside the Jinbi Bridge under the Baolun Temple in Ciqikou, there is a small sculpture called "Young Woman Urinating Child", and there is also a legendary story of "Protecting Dragon Water" that has been circulating for hundreds of years. According to legend, when Zhu Yunwen, Emperor Jianwen of the Ming Dynasty, took refuge in Ciqikou Baolun Temple, he suffered from asthma, strain, rheumatism and other diseases due to long-term camping and fatigue. Because his fourth uncle, Emperor Yongle Zhu Di, sent people to hunt him down everywhere, he was afraid to ask a doctor to buy medicine, which was very painful. One night, the immortal gave a dream to Emperor Jianwen, saying that drinking a seven-year-old boy to urinate would save him pain. The next day, Emperor Jianwen went out to visit the temple secretly. Just after coming down from Baolun Temple to Jinbi Bridge, he saw a young woman holding a little boy to pee. When Emperor Jianwen came forward with a bowl in his hand, he learned that the boy was just seven years old, so he explained his purpose and asked for urine. The young woman readily agreed. After drinking a bowl of boy urine, Jianwen Emperor felt refreshed, and the annoying asthma, strain and rheumatism were swept away. The story spread widely, and soon it was known that urine can cure all diseases. Later, people knew that the monk who begged for the boy's urine was actually the real dragon emperor Jianwen, and everyone used to call the boy's urine "dragon water protection"
From September of each year to April of the following year, the water of Jialing River gradually exits in the vicinity of Gaojia Garden at Ciqikou Wharf, forming a large waterlogged dam with an area of about 1 square kilometer, which is a good place for children to fly kites, adults to make dam tea, ride horses and practice cars. This dam, known locally as the "Nine Stone Tanks", is said to be the place where Zhang Xianzhong hid his treasure. It turns out that there are nine Liang Shi lying in the middle of the river by the river beach. Legend has it that like a stone jar, there are priceless treasures buried in it. These nine stone jars are controlled by a stone drum, which is buried in the river beach. If you can find the stone drum and open it, you can buy the whole Chongqing city with the gold and silver treasure in it. There is a folk song: "Stone jars versus stone drums, and there are thousands of gold and silver. Who can solve it and buy Chongqing House? " According to legend, the treasure was left by Zhang Xianzhong, the leader of the peasant uprising army in the late Ming Dynasty, known as the "Eight Kings". When Zhang Xianzhong captured Chongqing in the 17th year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty (1644), he seized numerous treasures of silver in Chongqing. When he was evacuated, he buried a large number of gold, silver and jewels in nine stone jars and used a stone drum to control them for future use. Zhang Xianzhong is the only one who knows the location and usage of the stone drum. Zhang Xianzhong was later killed in failure, and the stone drum could no longer be found, so the treasure has been buried in the Nine Stone Tanks. Since the death of Zhang Xianzhong, for hundreds of years, groups of treasure diggers have come to this river beach, and some even spent their whole lives without finding the treasure. Every year, when the flood recedes and the waterlogged dam is exposed, there are treasure hunters here, and occasionally some people have a small harvest and find some ancient coins and scattered silver on the beach.
