The legend of Wu Zixu is a folk literature project in the sixth batch of representative projects of Suzhou's municipal intangible cultural heritage. Wu Zixu (555-484 BC), whose name was Yuan and whose courtesy name was Zixu, was an important official of the State of Wu during the Spring and Autumn Period. He had an indissoluble bond with Suzhou. He built the city of Helu (Suzhou) by "looking at the soil and tasting the water, imitating the sky and following the earth", and built water conservancy projects here. He recommended Sun Wu seven times and devoted his life to the kingship and hegemony of the State of Wu, which embodied his wisdom and wisdom in governing the country with both civil and military skills. The legend of Wu Zixu is mainly spread along the shores of Taihu Lake and in urban and rural areas of Suzhou. Suzhou, the land of ancient Wu, has a close relationship with Wu Zixu, and traces of Wu Zixu are left everywhere. Many place names, mountain names, and water names are related to Wu Zixu, such as Xukou Town, which is named after Wu Zixu. In addition, there are also legends about Wu Zixu in Wuxi, Hangzhou, Jiaxing, Haining, Laohekou City, Hubei Province, and Jianli County. The legend of Wu Zixu has a long history, and it is also recorded in history books. For example, after Wu Zixu committed suicide, the King of Wu "took Zixu's body, wrapped it in a piece of leather, and floated it in the river. The people of Wu felt sorry for him and built a temple on the river, so it was named Xushan". The stories of Xiangshan, Huadun, Jiangdun, Xujiang, and Helu Dacheng in Wuzhong were also inspired by the events and have been passed down. Although the legends of Wu Yuan's prestige in the first-line tide and Haining tide started later, they also have a history of more than a thousand years. There are several main types of legends about Wu Zixu. The first is Wu Zixu's experience (such as abandoning Chu and fleeing to Wu, playing the flute in Wu City, and making friends with Ji Guang, etc.), the second is Wu Zixu's political achievements (such as designing assassinations of officials, building cities, and rewarding agriculture and sericulture, etc.), the third is Wu Zixu's military achievements (such as expanding the army for Wu, defeating the enemy with Fu Ju, and guerrilla warfare against the Chu army, etc.), the fourth is Wu Zixu's way of being (such as Wu Zixu repaying favors, attacking Chu for revenge, and strongly recommending Sun Wu, etc.), and the fifth is related to the mark Wu Zixu left in Wu (such as the origin of Zhoushan, the legend of Xuding Bridge, the origin of Jiangdun, etc.). The legend of Wu Zixu tells about people and things that have appeared in Suzhou's history. Some of them are well documented, and some have traces to follow. They are related to Suzhou's mountains, rivers, city streets, and customs. They have distinct local characteristics and therefore have high cultural and historical value. These legends have a long history, are widely spread, and have lasted for a long time. They have also become the material for many literary and artistic works and have great literary value. Although these legends are unofficial histories, they can serve as a supplement to official histories. They are also a visual record of Suzhou's folk customs, human geography, and spiritual world, and have scientific value for academic research. They are also valuable resources for the development of Wudi's tourism industry today, and have economic value for development and utilization. (No pictures yet, welcome to provide.)
