Human history

Legend of Tian Maoquan

Recently, in Qishan, a provincial forest park, people often read the legend of Qishan and folk tales of Qishan while enjoying the beautiful scenery. After pondering over the names on the book cover, it's all one person: Tian Maoquan. Who is Tian Maoquan? Why does he know so much about the folklore of Qishan? This has to start with the development of Qishan. A few years ago, the Party committee and government of Lixin town in Gangcheng district decided to build ecological tourism agriculture based on Qishan. In less than three years, a pavilion was built on the mountain, a glide road was built on the hillside, a fried chicken shop was built at the foot of the mountain, tens of thousands of meters of stone steps were paved on the mountain, and Qishan holy water treatment plant, mountain side Mingjing reservoir and summer resort were built one after another. In April 2000, Qishan was named "Provincial Forest Park" by Shandong Provincial Forestry Department, and more and more people went to the mountain to play. Once, Lao Tian, an expert in Shandong folklore and vice chairman of Laiwu Artists Association, had a meal with several literary friends in the mountains. Many people thought that the cultural landscape here was too few and the popularity was not high. After that, Lao Tian, who had been doing news reporting for more than ten years, was very upset. An idea to write the story of "Legend of chess mountain" sprouted in his heart. There are 75 pieces in "Legend of Qishan" and "folk tales of Qishan", each of which is carefully collected and written by Laotian in his spare time. In order to explain the legendary historical figures and their time clearly, he has consulted the data for hundreds of times, repeatedly demonstrated and verified. If he was really not sure, he immediately rode on his bicycle to qishanguan village, which is more than ten miles away from home. He carefully inquired about the older people in the village and made friends with them. In order to determine the accuracy of a story, it is common for him to go to the villages around Qishan more than ten times a day. Most of the data in the legend are not ready-made. Laotian always went to the mountain to calculate it himself. After more than three years, in October 2000, Laotian's legend of chess mountain was finally published with the strong support of all aspects. When he saw the people coming in droves, browsing the legend of Qishan, climbing the mountain, savoring the culture of Qishan, discussing the origin of Qishan, and understanding the development of rissing, he was very happy.

Other legends

It is said that a long time ago, in qishanguan village at the foot of the mountain, a man went up the mountain to collect firewood and came to qiziya. He saw two old men playing chess. Out of curiosity, he stood quietly behind an old man to watch. Because of thirst, he took the old man's bowl of water and took a sip. Who knows, after drinking, I suddenly feel the light and dark in front of my eyes, like the rush of day and night, spring, summer, autumn and winter. When the two old men finished playing chess and left, he thought of cutting firewood. However, when he looked back, the handle of the axe was rotten. Back in the village, no one recognized him. It turned out that the human world had passed a hundred years.
