Zhang Bo water regulation

At the end of West Han Dynasty, there was a man called Zhang Bo from Wucheng (Huzhou, Zhejiang Province). He decided to inherit the meritorious achievements of ancestors assisting the legendary emperor Yu to regulate waterways to prepare and cut an artificial river from Si'an of Changxing to Nanyi Lake, which flows through Guangde entire boundary. River like this can not only eliminate the flood, but also do goods to the water trade. When he worked in Dongting of Guangde, he used magic to change into God pig to accelerate the progress. He guided countless pigs to do the dredging work… One day, his wife went to the construction place to bring lunch for him. Seeing his wife, he hurried eastward and lived in Mountain Xici. His wife didn't know the inner secret and couldn't find his husband, secretly living in the east city. From then on, they didn't meet each other. The posterity treated him as emperor Cishan, constructed the ancestral hall and set up the temple to offer sacrifice to him. The descendants came to honor him without stop.
