Canal Spring and Autumn

According to folklore, the "Five Immortals" are fox, weasel, hedgehog, snake and mouse. They are called "Fox, Yellow, White, Willow and Gray" in order. These five creatures can obtain magical powers through special training. Among them, "Willow" is divided into snake immortals. With the Python Immortal, the Python Immortal has great magic power and is the first of the "Five Great Immortals". It is said to be second only to the dragon in terms of magic power. It is written in the book that the python has five colors, is two feet long, lives in water, and devours animals. In ancient times, the green python symbolized power and status. In my youth, I had the opportunity to hear the story of three thousand warriors represented by Feng Zhensheng on both sides of the Cangzhou Canal in the late Qing Dynasty, who resisted the Taiping Army and the Nian Army, killed the Japanese invaders, and their descendants wiped out the Japanese invaders. In more than a century of struggle, they all demonstrated unpredictable abilities, so much so that I associated them with the Python Immortal. The story happened on both sides of the canal. It has been passed down for a long time and has been passed down orally. There is no way to verify its authenticity. So I used the title "Spring and Autumn of the Canal" to sort out the legendary events of more than a hundred years ago for readers to read, to commemorate those heroes who risked their lives to protect their country when the Chinese nation was in danger.
