Stories, legends and pictures of the Great Wall.

This story happened a long time ago, when Qin Shihuang was recruiting 800,000 migrant workers to build the Great Wall of Wan Li. The government arrested people everywhere as migrant workers, and the arrested people built the Great Wall day and night. I don't know how tired they are

There is a scholar named Wan Xiliang in Suzhou. In order to escape from the government, he had to hide everywhere. One day, he fled to Meng Jia Garden and met Meng Jiangnv by chance. Meng Jiangnv is a smart and beautiful girl. She hid Wan Xiliang with her parents. The two old people liked Wan Xiliang very much, so they betrothed Meng Jiangnv to him as their wife.

Less than three days after their marriage, Wan Xiliang was arrested for building the Great Wall. Meng Jiangnv cried like a crybaby, waiting for her husband to come back. Half a year has passed, and Wan Xiliang has no news at all. It is already late autumn, the north wind is blowing everywhere, the reed flowers are turning white, and the weather is getting colder every day. Meng Jiangnv must be very cold when she thinks of her husband building the Great Wall in the north. She sewed her own clothes to keep out the cold, and went to the Great Wall of Wan Li to find Wan Xiliang.

Along the way, Meng Jiangnv experienced many difficulties and hardships before she came to the foot of the Great Wall. Who knows that the migrant workers who built the Great Wall told her that Wan Xiliang was dead and his bones were filled in the wall. Hearing this heartbreaking news, Meng Jiangnv only felt that it was dark and suddenly fainted to the ground. After waking up, she cried sadly, only crying very sadly, and the sun and the moon were dark. I don't know how long I cried, but suddenly I heard an earth-shattering noise. The Great Wall collapsed for dozens of miles, revealing countless bones. Meng Jiangnv bit her finger and blood dripped on the bone. She secretly prayed that if it was her husband's bone, blood would seep into it; If not, blood will flow everywhere. Finally, Meng Jiangnv found Wan Xiliang's remains in this way. She hugged this pile of bones and began to cry again.

Qin Shihuang saw that Meng Jiangnv was beautiful and wanted to force her to be a concubine. Meng Jiangnv gave him a false promise, but asked Qin Shihuang to do three things first: ask the monk to finish reading Wan Xiliang's Forty-nine Classics and then bury him properly; Qin Shihuang will personally lead the minister of civil and military affairs to weep and sacrifice Wan Xiliang; After Wan Xiliang was buried, Meng Jiangnv was going on a patrol and got married three days later. Qin Shihuang had to agree to Meng Jiangnv's request. After these three things were done, Meng Jiangnu scolded Qin Shihuang and then jumped into the rough sea.
