Water Floods Sizhou City 1

This book is a story about dragons, a legend between heaven and earth, and a legend about the Huaihe River for thousands of years. The long Huaihe River gave birth to the glorious Huaihe civilization. In the 19th year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty (1680), the Yellow River diverted the Huaihe River into the sea and merged with the Huaihe River floods to the east. The water level of Hongze Lake increased sharply, and Sizhou City suffered a disaster. The once prosperous ancient Sizhou City sank in the roaring waves and mist of Hongze Lake, and Sizhou City became China's Pompeii. For more than 300 years, the sudden disappearance of the beautiful Sizhou City in the past is still full of mystery and nostalgia in the hearts of the local people. Folks have compiled the story of the flooded Sizhou City into a drum book and a hammer harp that have been sung for hundreds of years. It has been sung on both sides of the lower reaches of the Huaihe River. It has not been erased from the memories of some elderly people. People could not find the reason for the flooding of Sizhou City, nor could they explain this phenomenon, so they created beautiful fairy tales one after another.
