History and culture

Biantang town has a long history, rich in culture, many places of interest in the territory, rich in Han Dynasty tombs. As early as the Han Dynasty, it was already a large-scale Buddhist holy land, with the famous seven level Royal pagoda, 32 Temple halls, built imperial bridge, and the famous nianzhuang encirclement and annihilation station and Xudong interdiction station in the Huaihai Campaign. Fishing tripod in Surabaya: in the Xia Dynasty, the world was divided into nine states, and nine bronze tripods were cast. Each bronze tripod symbolized a state, and the nine tripods were used to represent the world. When Qin Shihuang unified China, in order to show that the world belonged to himself, he ordered that all the nine tripods should be gathered in Xianyang, the capital of Qin Dynasty. On the way of transportation, one tripod accidentally fell into the water at Gushi river near Xuzhou, but the salvage organized by Qin Shihuang failed. It is said that just as the tripod was pulled out of the water, a small dragon jumped out and bit off the rope, making the tripod fall into the water again. This matter is recorded in Li Daoyuan's shuijingzhu. "Fishing tripod in Surabaya" vividly reflects this scene. In the picture, the toppling of the two sides of the river, the commanding officials, the bronze tripod and the little dragon, etc. show their humorous and interesting scenes. The stone reliefs in Han tombs are closed works of art, which are not intended to be seen at all. However, the stone relief inlaid in the ancestral hall is an open work of art. Because of this, the latter pays more attention to the edification of the works and chooses many historical stories and legends to warn and educate future generations. "The drawing of taking cauldron from Sishui" is one of the representative ones. Surabaya is a big river that flows through Xuzhou in ancient times. It starts from Yimeng Mountain in Shandong Province in the north and ends at the estuary of the ancient Huaihe River in the south, winding hundreds of miles. The tripod is a kind of cooking utensil in ancient times, and it is also a ritual utensil for temple worship. It is said that after Dayu's successful flood control in the Xia Dynasty, he collected the "gold of Jiumu" and cast the "Jiuding". Since then, the "Jiuding" has become a symbol of the national treasure and the common master of the world. It is reasonable and legal for those who have obtained the "nine tripods". When King Zhao of Qin Dynasty destroyed Zhou Dynasty, he seized "nine cauldrons" in disorder, but on the way of transportation, one cauldron fell into Surabaya, which was a bad omen until the first emperor of Qin was in power. Thus, there is the story of Qin Shihuang fishing for the tripod in Surabaya. The "drawing of taking tripod from Surabaya" found in biantang Town, Jiawang District, Xuzhou City is engraved with an arch bridge in the middle, two columns are erected in the middle of the bridge, pulley is tied at the end of the column, and five people pull ropes on both sides of the bridge to take tripod. Just as the cauldron was rising out of the water, a tap came out of the cauldron and bit off the cauldron rope on the right side. Everyone was in a panic. There should be one person sitting on the top of the arch bridge, who should be the first emperor of Qin. Experts said that according to the records of the first emperor of Qin in historical records, the first emperor of Qin took the tripod to "deprive thousands of people of water to seek it.".

infrastructure

Due to the underdeveloped economy, biantang town has imperfect public facilities and infrastructure. Among the public facilities, public welfare public facilities, such as village committees, primary and secondary schools, clinics and kindergartens, are basically available, but the overall conditions are poor. The commercial, cultural and entertainment facilities and service facilities are insufficient, and the villages far away from the town are even more lacking, making life very inconvenient. In addition to the relatively complete public commercial service facilities in the town, in Xinji and Gaozhuang, according to the needs of the local and surrounding villages, some commercial retail outlets have also been arranged, forming the pattern of one town center and two service points
