All the immortals demonstrated their abilities and performed their magical powers to excavate the cave, hence the name "Eight Immortals Cave".
The legend is very beautiful, do you believe that there are gods? If there is, this god must be the masses of the people, because Santai Mountain is a battleground for military strategists in history. In mid-December 1946, the mighty Subei Campaign, commanded by Chen Yi and Su Yu, set a precedent for annihilating the Kuomintang regular army in the early days of the Liberation War by eliminating the enemy’s brilliant record of reorganizing three and a half brigades under the 69th division . The Sandai Mountain blockade that took place within the range was a component of the Subei Campaign.

Three fairy cave
At the southeast foot of Santai Mountain, not far from tianhe Pagoda, there is a long cave halfway up the mountain, the mouth of which is more than one meter wide and deep. Here is the Eight Immortal Cave, which is also said to be the "Three Immortal cave". According to legend, there are crabs, snakes and toads living in the stone wall of the cave, so it got its name.
It is said that Pu Songling, a writer in the Qing Dynasty, visited the Fairy Cave in the ninth year of Kangxi and wrote three Immortals in Strange Tales from Liaozhai. The three Immortals in Liaozhai recorded that a scholar went to Jinling to take an examination. When passing Suqian County, he passed by Santai Mountain and met three scholars. The scholar bought wine and invited them to talk together. Three introduce their own names, one is Called Jie Qiuheng, one is called Chang Fenglin, the other is called Ma Xi Chi. The four drank and were very happy. After drinking until dark, He said, "It is not right for us to trespass on the hospitality of our guests before we have finished our hospitality. We live not far from here. Let's invite people to stay." And they both stood up, and took the scholar, and called the servant with them.
When we reached the north mountain of the county seat, we suddenly saw a courtyard with a clear stream around the gate. Enter the door, see the house is very neat. Three scholar shout child palm light, call a person to arrange the scholar's attendant. "They used to meet each other in English," She said. Now that the examination is near, don't waste tonight.

The scholar entered the examination room, the three topics are all the articles written by the three immortals, the scholar thus high school understanding yuan.
6、Bamboo Forest Home
Santai Mountain is located in the northern part of Jiangsu, between Huanghuai and Huaihe River. Although it belongs to a temperate and humid monsoon climate zone, the climate is mild and humid with four distinct seasons, but bamboo is rarely grown. How did the bamboo sea of Mount Santai form? Speaking of this, it is related to Zhang Guolao in the Eight Immortals.
According to legend, Zhang Guolao accompanied the Eight Immortals to the Heavenly Palace to the Queen Mother’s Flat Peach Meeting. He was drunk because of a few more glasses, so he came back and lost his mount little donkey. He looked around, but he didn't find Guanshiyin in the South China Sea. Feeling tired from running, he uprooted green bamboos in the purple bamboo forest of Guanshiyin as a donkey. Later, he pinched his fingers and knew that the donkey had come to Mount Santai in Suqian. He arrived at Mount Santai, caught the donkey, and threw the green bamboo on the hillside. Unexpectedly, the green bamboo took root and sprouted on Mount Santai. It grew into a dense bamboo forest, which grew more and more prosperous. Then it grew into a vast sea of bamboos, which has continued for generations and has multiplied to this day, becoming a famous landscape in the Santai Mountain Scenic Area.
7、Magical Luo Spider Dun
In the depths of the beautiful Santai Mountain, there is a dense bamboo forest. Walking 100 meters north along the blue stone path in the bamboo forest, there is a huge Han Dynasty tomb. Because it resembles a spider in shape, the locals call it spider pier or Luo spider pier.
According to legend, in the Han Dynasty, there was a young man named Lu Sheng who was very studious to learn, but suffered from family poverty and could not afford lamps. Every night, he went to the nearby mountains to study by the moonlight. It's strange to say that when Lu Sheng went to study on the mountain, the moonlight would become extraordinarily bright and brighter than a lamp. And no matter how cold and summer, there are no mosquitoes, flies, and snakes to infest.
At the age of 28, due to his outstanding talents, Lu Sheng was selected to be sent to Beijing to become Jing Zhao Yin. Before taking office, Lu Sheng went for a walk in the bamboo forest on the mountain. He just walked to the stone where he used to read, and he saw a flash of red light in front of him. A kind and kind old man in Tsing Yi stood in front of him holding an oil lamp. . Lu Sheng quickly saluted the old man. The old man nodded slightly and smiled and said to him: "Young man, God pays you for your work, you are finally successful today. This is the result of your own hard work, but you must remember that you must be an official and you must not do things that violate your conscience. If you are upset about anything, you might as well come here to relax, I believe it will help you." After speaking, the old man gave the oil lamp in his hand to Lu Sheng, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a wisp of blue smoke and drifted away.
Lu Sheng was very surprised. After returning home, he quickly put the oil lamp in a prominent position and asked his family to fill up the lamp with oil and never let it go out.
After coming to the capital, Lu Sheng kept in mind the old man's entrustment, insisted on being an upright and honest official, and did many tangible good things for the people.
However, because Lu Sheng was not afraid of power, he offended many dignitaries in the DPRK for his integrity and was repeatedly slandered by treacherous courtiers. At this time, Lu Sheng's father was dying because of a serious illness, so he took a leave of absence and returned to serve his father.
As his father was very old and his condition was getting worse, Lu Sheng had to ask Feng Shui to choose a grave for his father in advance, but he was not satisfied after selecting several locations in a row. On this day, Lu Sheng came to Mount Santai. When he passed by the stone, the old man in Tsing Yi appeared again. He told Lu Sheng: "This is an excellent geomantic gem! But to bury the ancestors here, he must show up wearing irons. The signs of hats, poles blooming, and carp drumming can bless future generations to go smoothly. I don't know if the old man has such a blessing." After speaking, the old man turned into a plume of smoke and went away.
A few days later, Lu Sheng's father passed away. According to the instructions of the old man in Tsing Yi, Lu Sheng dug a tomb for his father in Mount Santai, and everything was ready, only waiting for auspicious time to be buried. At noon, a countryman bought an iron pot from the street and put it on his head to watch the excitement. A farmer also cut wood from the mountain and passed by here. He was carrying a bamboo pole with a handful of wild flowers just picked at one end of the pole. An osprey passed by carrying a carp from the lake. At this time, the musician suddenly blew mournful music, and the Osprey was shocked, with a mouth, and the fish just fell on the drum surface. Seeing that all three signs had appeared, Mr. Feng Shui gave an order and the coffin of Lu Sheng's father was buried smoothly. It is strange to say that after adding the soil, the tomb will grow bigger and bigger. It rises three or four meters above the ground, and the shape is very similar to a spider, so the locals call it Spider Dun, also called Luo Spider Dun. Later, after Lu Sheng returned to Beijing, his official career went very smoothly. He was once a first-class member of the dynasty, and his descendants also had many talents. It is said that even the great poet Lu You is his descendant!
Luo Sudun not only blessed the descendants of the Lu family, but also a god in the hearts of the local people. It is said that a long time ago there was a poor peasant named Zhao at the foot of the mountain. One year, his son got married. According to the custom, a few tables should be set up to entertain the local squire and the neighbors. But the old man Zhao’s family was poor and he could not afford to pay. Rental tables, chairs, tableware and other utensils. But if you don’t do this, not only will the neighbor’s squire tease, but also the daughter-in-law’s family will cancel the marriage. This embarrassed Old Man Zhao. That night, he sat in front of Luo Sudun and sighed, muttering to himself: "God you open your eyes, help me poor old man, lend me some dishes, let me pass this level." As soon as I finished speaking, I suddenly felt my eyes bright. I saw a lot of tableware in front of him. An old man in Tsing Yi smiled and said to him: "It's easy to borrow and repay. "After that, he disappeared. Old man Zhao hurried home and called his wife and children to take these things home. After the son's marriage was finished, he returned the dishes to Luo Sudun in time and burned a stick of fragrant to thank you. Strangely enough, just after burning an incense stick, the cart of dishes returned by Old Man Zhao disappeared, and only the remaining smoke of the incense was still wafting away.
Since then, as long as the poor people nearby need it, they can borrow all kinds of tableware in Luosudun. This news was learned by the landlord’s old wealth Sun Erhui. He ordered the senior worker to put on a cart and came to Luo Sudun, preparing to take all the tableware home and own it alone. It is strange to say that no cutlery can be found no matter how much Sun Er asks. And since then, no matter who comes to Luo Sudun to borrow tableware, it will not work. Everyone said that it was Sun Erwai's greed that angered the gods.
Now Dong Guangchu, a forest protection worker from Mount Santai, has been living near Luosudun. He said that snakes often appear here, but they never hurt people. And a few decades ago, someone had excavated the Luo spider pier. Just halfway through the digging, they discovered that there were all large snakes in the soil, layer by layer, like guards guarding the Han. tomb. Later, the excavation work had to be stopped. At that time, several Chinese bricks were found in the soil, with some strange characters engraved on them, but even the most knowledgeable archaeologists at that time could not recognize them. At present, this Han tomb is still standing quietly in the bamboo forest of Mount Santai. It seems that its mystery has to wait for archaeological scientists to truly uncover it.
2. Historical allusions
1. Qingdun Site
The cultural layer of Qingdun site is nearly two meters, the upper is the Han cultural layer, and the lower is the Western Zhou cultural layer.
Qingdun has been glorious in history. Judging from the large number of pottery products unearthed underground, about 4000 to 5000 years ago, people living here not only invented pottery but also produced and used pottery in large quantities. Generally speaking, the emergence of pottery craftsmanship is an important sign that mankind has entered a civilized society. From the perspective of the distribution of Longshan Culture, western Shandong, eastern Henan, northeastern Anhui, and northern Jiangsu are all within the scope of Longshan Cultural Belt. Longshan Culture was discovered by Chinese archaeologists in Chengziya, Longshan Town, Licheng, Shandong Province in 1928. The age of Longshan Culture was at the end of the Neolithic period of primitive society, and it was a culture developed by inheriting Dawenkou Culture. Longshan culture not only has a wide range, but also has made greater progress than Dawenkou culture in terms of the production technology of utensils. It is advancing on the road of growth and finally replaced the Dawenkou culture.
According to "Suqian County Chronicles", Qingdun has a 60-centimeter-thick Han Dynasty cultural layer and a 1-meter-thick Western Zhou cultural layer underneath, covering an area of about 8,000 square meters. The Qingdun site has been used to study people’s living customs, casting techniques, and crafts at that time. Techniques play an important role and have high historical value and artistic value. The Qingdun site was announced as a county-level key cultural relics protection unit by the Suqian County People’s Government in 1963, a municipal cultural relics protection unit by the Suqian City People’s Government in 2000, and a provincial key cultural relics protection unit by the Jiangsu Provincial People’s Government in 2006 , Was announced by the State Council as a national key cultural relics protection unit in 2013. There are cultural relics from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Qin and Han Dynasties on the site, with rich cultural connotations. There are 6 to 7 relics of smelting furnaces in the Han Dynasty, as well as relics of houses, ash pits, ditches, stoves, etc. According to experts, the relics of smelting and casting may be handcrafted workshops of "official workers" in the Han Dynasty. It is the largest hand-smelting site of the Han Dynasty discovered in the province so far. The excavated ruins also unearthed the Chu Kingdom's ant nose money, Han Dynasty five baht money, bronze belt hooks, Sinan Pei and other relics, as well as a large number of pottery, slabs, and tiles. And other building components. Numerous evidence further proves the rich content of the Qingdun site. It is clear that the Qingdun site is a large-scale Han Dynasty smelting site and an important production and living place in northern Jiangsu from the Warring States Period to the Han Dynasty.
History has developed into a great dynasty--the Tang Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, a huge military camp was built on the land of Qingdun. The famous military commander Xue Renfei once stationed here and trained his army here. In July 2000, two bronze swords were excavated on the Qingdun cultural site. According to expert identification, this sword was cast by craftsmen in the Tang Dynasty. Many conch and sea mussels have been dug up in the territory, which proves that this place was a part of the underwater world in ancient times, and this also confirms the proverb "The sea has turned into a sacred field."
According to folklore, Xue Rengui dug 72 deep wells in Qingdun when he was in the east. This historical question has been strongly confirmed with the discovery of nearly 20 ancient wells. In May 2001, when the villagers of Qingdun were taking soil and burning bricks, they found an ancient well 1.5 meters above the ground. They dug out bronze mirrors, horse bones, etc., which were identified as relics of the Tang Dynasty. The existence of the garrison and the possibility of 72 wells. During the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Japanese devils used advanced equipment to dig out treasures from the ground. They were especially interested in the 72-row ancient well. They forced the villagers to dig three feet of the ground. The villagers deliberately dig the wrong place. The Japanese army saw no results. Disappointed and left.
There is a ruins of an ancient city in the Western Han Dynasty at the northern end of Natian. There is a Qingliangyuan in the north of the ancient city, which is said to be a camp for the invaders of the Tang Dynasty. An ancient coffin was unearthed on the west side of the ancient city in 1996. Inside the coffin there are helmets, heart-guards, iron swords, and bronze teapots, which fully proves that this place was the place where the ancient military strategists fought.
The famous Subei War also started here. In December 1946, under the command of Chen Yi and Su Yu, our East China Field Army launched the Subei War. With a company of troops and the favorable terrain of Mount Santai, the Kuomintang reorganized three and a half brigades of the 69th division and one of the first division. With a total of more than 21,000 people, it created a precedent for the complete annihilation of the regular army reorganizers of the Kuomintang in the early days of the Liberation War and became a famous battle in which our army won more with less.

2.The imperial edge of Santai Mountain
Mount Santai is not only a battlefield for ancient military strategists, but also a scenic tourist attraction; there are unexplainable myths and stories, and the indissoluble bond of generations of emperors.
Sima Qian's "Benji of Xiang Yu" in the Han Dynasty records: Xiang Yu, famous book, character Yu, and Xiangren under Qin Dynasty. The next phase is the city of Suqian today. The hometown of King Xiang in Wutong Lane, South Erli, Suqian City, was the birthplace of King Xiang Yu, king of Western Chu. After more than 2,000 years of vicissitudes of wind and rain, Xiang Wang, the hometown of King Xiang, is still lush and lush with branches and leaves. The Xiangjia ancient well in the courtyard is still bubbling with spring water, sweet and clear, attracting visitors to watch. The hometown of King Xiang faces Mount Santai, the city from the south to the North Vietnam. When he was a child, Xiang Yu used to go hunting in Mount Santai with his uncle Xiang Liang many times, leaving footprints and figures of martial arts practice on the mountain. Later, Xiang Yu and his uncle Xiang Liang attacked the Qin army in Jiangdong and overthrew the Qin dynasty. They passed through Mount Santai and left many legends here. On the hillside, there is still a "Overlord Pulling Down Well" and "Overlord Test Sword Stone". ", "Overlord Xiwutai" and other relics. Xiang Yu led his eight thousand children in Jiangdong to overthrow Qin's tyranny, established the Western Chu, and established Pengcheng as the capital. The imperial career was brilliant in five years. He has never defeated more than 70 battles in his lifetime. Later, although he was defeated by Liu Bang in the Chu-Han War and Wujiang killed himself, Xiang Yu's historical status is beyond doubt. "An article in this chronology is a historical pen, don't judge success or failure on heroes." Sima Qian has clearly written Xiang Yu and Liu Bang side by side in the "Historical Records" in the emperor chapter, which is enough to witness Xiang Yu's emperor position. At the same time, Xiang Yu’s heroic spirit and benevolent character are the pride and pride of Suqian people. Santai Mountain has also been known for thousands of years because of Xiang Yu’s cultural heritage.
In the Qing Dynasty, due to the opening of the Central Canal, the original Tongjing Avenue was changed from the west bank of the ancient Yellow River to the east bank of the Central Canal, from Suqian to the north through Santai Mountain, leading directly to Shandong and Kyoto. According to the "Records of Saint Zuren Emperor of the Qing Dynasty" and "Records of the Pure Emperor Gaozong of the Qing Dynasty", the two emperors of Kangxi and Qianlong had visited Suqian six times. In addition to taking the canal waterway, Santaishan Tongjing Avenue is the only way to go. For this reason, when the two emperors visited Santai Mountain, they also had more convenient access and mountaineering opportunities.
From 1684 (23rd year of Kangxi) to 1707 (47th year of Kangxi), Emperor Kangxi visited Suqian six times to visit Suqian, personally inspected and guided the Yellow River, Liutang River, and Luoma Lake in Suqian. In order to avoid the 180-mile shipping danger of the Yellow River, the middle canal was excavated from Xizhongjiazhuang in Huaiyin County to Yaowan in Suqian, leaving a glorious page in the history of water transportation. The Grand Canal is still the mother river of the people of Suqian, and it plays a huge role in water conservancy and shipping. Kangxi and his courtiers went up to Mount Santai several times to overlook the Luoma Lake and the Ancient Yellow River, admiring the scenery and discussing matters, and wrote poems to express his emotions. He wrote in the poem "Yuehe": "Huaihuang dredging fee management, trekking for three times without trouble. Several dikes were diligently planned, and the dealer succeeded in the waiting period." He saw Luoma Lake and Liutang River. A scene of a water village on both sides of the strait, casually chanted: "It is half a suburban village and half a water village, and the breeze will immediately dawn and cool. Shaoguang and the southern country will not give way, and the willow color along the embankment has been seen." The guards are given the money, and there is no time to plan public opinion." Kangxi always worried about the people's food and clothing. When Kangxi returned to Beijing by boat from the Grand Canal at the foot of Mount Santai, he saw the beautiful scenery of Suqian and wrote a special song called "Yimaonan Touring the Rivers and Mountains": "Walking all over the water and mountains in the south of the Yangtze River, willow flowers let out birds Mianman. The Ming dynasty entered Pixu Road again, and the Fengquelong Tower had a plan to pay."
In the 61st year of the reign of Kangxi, it was in Yongzheng, and in the 23rd year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi, it was in Qianlong. Qianlong reigned for 60 years. From 1751 (sixteenth year of Qianlong) to 1784 (forty-nine year of Qianlong), he followed in the footsteps of his grandfather Kangxi. He also visited Suqian six times and visited Suqian six times. The second station is Suqian Zaohe Dragon King Temple, Xiaodian Daying, Shunhe Daying and Yanghua Daying. Everywhere he goes, he likes to travel and write poetry and odes. In the minds of Suqian people, he seemed to be a playboy. In fact, Qianlong not only loved to travel and write poetry, but he was also an enlightened emperor in governing state affairs. During the Kangxi and Qianlong eras, it was called "the heyday of Kangxi and Qianlong" in history.
When Qianlong visited Suqian for the first time, he wrote "Entering the South of the Yangtze River": "Xueji enjoys different spring suburbs, but it will melt smoothly when entering the southern region of the Yangtze River. Although the other borders are different in this world, I will always be the same. I feel that the people’s feelings are more cordial. I love counseling officials to make the public. The officials of Jihe are the important patrols, and the famous places and places are embellished." At that time, Suqian belonged to Xuzhou Prefecture, and Huaiyin belonged to Jiangnan Road.
Qianlong made several imperial poems chanting the Anlan Dragon King Temple on the Zaohe River, chanting the Liutang River, Yongji Bridge and Luoma Lake, praising Suqian. He chanted in a poem "Composition in Suqian Dao": "While watching people show their righteous deeds, Ze Guo is not far away from Shaochen. Bi Yuji winds from his likes and dislikes to his neighbors. If he is supported by one term, why should he be police when he comes in and out. Frequent. The first thing is just like old knowledge, I am thinking about caring for people." Expressing care for the people, always thinking about people's livelihood in my heart. He wrote in a poem "Luo Ma Lake": "To help transport the heavens and protect the forests and secure the land. The camera is stored up, but the losses are saved. The township of Zhujiang in Zhoujiang, the water of the gulls in spring. Liutang Dongda The sea, eagerly miss people's livelihood."
Qianlong not only left more than 40 poems in Suqian, but also many beautiful stories and legends.
It is said that on one occasion, Qianlong was stationed in Daying Xiaodian, Suqian. Xiaodian was an ancient town at the foot of Mount Santai, less than two kilometers away from Mount Santai. Qianlong heard that there was a Bodhi Temple in Mount Santai, so he went to the temple to worship incense. It is said that Qianlong was not a faithful believer of Buddhism, so why should such small temples go to worship incense? Actually there is a reason here.
According to legend, Qianlong was not born by Emperor Yongzheng. Yongzheng had no children during his life. Later, his mother became pregnant and gave birth to a princess. Yongzheng was very unhappy. It just so happened that when the prime minister, Mrs. Chen Lin, gave birth to a baby boy, Yongzheng and his wife made a plan to ask Mrs. Chen to send the son to the palace to watch. Prime Minister Chen knew that this matter was not good for him, but he had to ask his wife to carry the son into the palace. After entering the palace, the empress replaced Mrs. Chen's son with a princess. When Mrs. Chen returned home and saw her son turned into a girl, she immediately reported to the Prime Minister to explain what happened. Prime Minister Chen persuaded his wife to keep quiet to avoid murder. The wife was so distressed that she hanged herself to death. Prime Minister Chen saw that his family was broken and he could not stay in the capital for a long time, so he wandered to the south in silence and became a monk. Qianlong grew up and succeeded the throne. Knowing his life experience, he missed his biological father very much. He made several private visits to the south to investigate people's conditions in name, and he was actually looking for his father. Therefore, whenever Qianlong visited the temple, he burned incense and worshiped the Buddha. Legend has it that Qianlong once went to Zaohe Longwang Temple to worship. The monks in the temple all knelt when seeing the emperor, but only one monk did not worship or kneel. Later, Qianlong ordered the abbot to gather the monks in the temple. Only the harmony had not yet come, and sent someone to shout. The monk replied: "Bacha do not worship the king." "Bacha" is the word for father. When Qianlong realized the meaning of this sentence, he looked for the monk again, and the monk had disappeared.
Qianlong paid homage to Bodhi Temple and visited Santai Mountain. Although the mountain is not high, it is very beautiful. Looking west from the mountain is the blue-water Luoma Lake, fishermen's songs and gulls hovering; the east is an expansive pastoral, willow green and pink. , The terraces are picturesque; looking south is the ancient city of Suqian, one is full of vitality, the Grand Canal goes south of the city, boats go to and fro, white sails. Qianlong was in love with the scene and exclaimed: "It's really good!" Then he chanted into a seven-laws "Mai": "I hope I will grow up from Jiyanhan, and see Xuhuai's green fields. The first benefit of spring is very plum and willow. Gradually, the Tibetan pheasant became a Tibetan pheasant in the next day, and now it wants to smoke. This is a thousand cakes and baits, and Yulin Chi rides and fills the ring." Since then, "the first benefit of the country and spring" has become synonymous with Suqian and has been widely circulated.
"Three sets of laughter and ball everywhere, from the ancient hero to return." Some people say that Mount Santai is a blessed place and a treasure, and this is true. Mount Santai Fuya; if not, how can there be so many emperors and leaders to visit here? Now Santai Mountain is shaking off the dust of history, and a bright smile is emerging. Santai Mountain is opening her enthusiastic arms with her unique style and infinite charm, welcoming friends from all over the world to come for sightseeing.

9, quartz sand story - White horse Stream
In Suqian jingtou, Xiaodian, Zhangshan area, quartz sand storage is rich. In 1902, the beginning of the last century, British businessman Li Deli came to Suqian, found this quartz sand in Baima Stream, quartz sand is also known as silica sand can be used to produce glass, he immediately stole in Baima Stream to buy sand mining land 200 mu, its enclosed land behavior also caused the local people's alarm.
At that time, Xu Dinglin, then the history of salt transportation in Anhui province, visited Suqian. After learning the situation, he sent the sample of silicon sand to Belgian experts for help. It was confirmed that the silicon sand in Suqian contains as much as 93% to 95% silicon, which is the best raw material for glass making. Xu Dinglin immediately had the idea of opening a glass factory in Suqian, and told his good friend Zhang Jian his idea.
Zhang Jian agreed. Later, the two men went to Suqian to inspect the city. They found that Suqian was located near the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, with convenient land and water transportation and a large labor force, so they planned to purchase sand land and build a glass factory. They went to Shanghai to negotiate with the British Consulate in Shanghai, and got the core of 200 mu sand mines. The two of them bought 6,200 mu sand mines in Baima River, and established Jiuan Sand Mines Company, which mines silicon sand in the open pit to provide raw materials for Yao Xu Glass Company.
For a variety of reasons, Yao Xu glass only existed for ten years and then quietly disappeared in the long river of history. After the closure of the company, some of the remaining workers, using the scattered small equipment of Yao Xu Glass Company, successively opened a number of small glass factories in and around Suqian county. These small glass factories have trained many glass industry workers for Suqian. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Suqian put forward the slogan of building a "glass city" and vigorously attracted glass production, deep processing and glass trade enterprises to settle in and start their business. Many local glass workers carried forward The pioneering spirit of Zhang Jian in that year, and suqian private glass enterprises grew up gradually.

He was disturbed to see blocks of square cultivated land with clear trenches and depresses and neat acres of land. He said to his disciple Ananda, "In the past, the clothes of all buddhas were made in this way. In the future, the clothes of monks should be made in this way." It was said that the wearing of the bhikkhu, like the growth of crops in paddy fields, would increase the wisdom of the monks and help the believers to provide for the cultivation of blessings. Since then, the frocks in the form of tian tans have become a regular feature of monk vestments and are also known as Futian garments.
