Introduction to Zhang Fei's "Broken Bridge by Water": 25 kilometers away from Changbanpo, there is a Baling Bridge, which is the place where it is said that Zhang Fei "broken the bridge by water". According to records, in the 13th year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty (208), Cao Jun pursued Liu Bei. After Liu Bei's general Zhang Fei broke the bridge, he faced Cao Jun and shouted: "I am Zhang Yide from Yan. Who dares to fight to the death with me!" The bridge was broken in response. Frightened, Cao Cao's general Xia Houjie had his liver and gallbladder shattered, fell off his horse and died. During the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, a descendant of the Zhang family erected a stone tablet "Zhang Yide's Cross Spear Place" here, which is still well preserved.
