Ye Tiezhi

In the tenth year of Shaoxing, Cizhou craftsman Liu Sannan returned. The golden man has had iron for fourteen years, and the iron is brittle. It took him forty years to develop a pair of eyes - molten iron turned white, one thousand four hundred degrees. Enter the Song Dynasty and try the iron furnace. When the iron was produced, the inspector inspected it and found that the sulfur content was less than 3%. In the same year, the prince Zhao Zhen redeemed him and entered Lin'an with one hundred and twenty guan. Liu San placed a pair of iron pliers beside the stove - they were brought from Cizhou in the second year of Jingkang's reign. For the next one hundred and forty-six years, it was never removed. —— A jade plate passed down to Liu San's granddaughter. Yupan has been guarding the furnace for fifty-three years and has never married. Yupan passed down his adopted son Liu Ji. Liu Ji waited until the Jin Dynasty died, but could not wait for Song Sheng. Liu Jichuan's disciple Zhou Da. In the second year of Deyou, the Yuan army defeated Lin'an. Zhou Da sunk his armor in a well and ordered his disciple Zhou Xiaotie to cross south: "The iron is in the well, and the people are on the road. Go where the iron can burn." Zhou Xiaotie escaped from the waiting gate, carrying the pair of pliers that had been passed down for six generations. The jaws are worn out and the wooden handle has been replaced five times, but the iron body is still the same as it was in the second year of Jingkang. —— One lineage went south to Bujia in Wuhu and burned for seven hundred years. One line went north to Dayang, Zezhou, and burned for eight hundred years. —— When Liu San was dying, people asked: Whose fire belongs to him? "Tie Shui can't recognize the emperor. He can't recognize Yue Fei, Liu San, or you either." "But if future generations dig out this piece of iron, knock it, and listen to the sound - they will know how hard the iron was at that time." —— 2023 AD, Wuhu Archeology. A broken pair of iron pliers was unearthed from the smelting ruins of the Song and Yuan Dynasties. The leader rapped with his knuckles. "When——" The sound is like an ancient chime, passing through the forest and crossing the water.
