Zhang Liang, a great strategist in Chinese history, has an indissoluble bond with Guan Shan. Zhang Liang, originally surnamed Ji, was a descendant of Korean nobles in the six states. His ancestors had three generations of Korean prime minister. Qin Shihuang swept the six states and unified the world. Zhang Liang, who was burdened with national hatred and family feud, was determined to recover the country and spread his family's wealth in order to assassinate Qin Shihuang. In 218 B.C., the first emperor of Qin visited the world and traveled to bolangsha in Yuanyang. Zhang Lianggu's assassin used a big hammer to stop the first emperor of Qin Dynasty. However, he missed the auxiliary vehicle and failed in the assassination, so Zhang Liang had to flee to the northwest and live in seclusion in a ditch in Guanshan, namely zhanglianggou, which is today's Pangu river. It is said that when living in seclusion in Guanshan, Zhang Liang, a counsellor of the Han Dynasty, often sat at the edge of the Bailong lake. Facing the Bailong waterfall, he reflected on his first half of his life and sighed that his actions in the bolangsha area were just like a wild man's bravery to hit the "Tianzhu", which could only be within five steps of blood splashing; just like a waterfall on a cliff falling on a huge stone beside the lake, his soul would be blown away. Since then, the real name of Korean noble childe has disappeared forever. In China's more than 2000 years of history, a bright and immortal name, Zhang Liang (Zhang Zifang), was born.
