At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Jin soldiers went south and came to Dingzhou City. At that time, the general guarding the city, Chen Yu, fought against the Jin soldiers with 30,000 soldiers and civilians. At the cost of more than 20,000 casualties, they resisted the offensive of the Jin people. Later, when the Jin army escorted Emperors Hui and Qin to the north, when they passed through Dingzhou, the Jin people coerced Emperor Song to write down the decree of surrender, and they also asked Chen Yun's younger brother to go to the city to read it. Chen Yun stood firm and did not surrender, and commanded the battle from the tower of Kaiyuan Temple. Yes, this is the tower! With no food and grass inside and no reinforcements outside, together with the soldiers and civilians in Dingzhou, they resisted for three full years by eating weeds and bark. However, under the overturned nest, how can there be any eggs. Dingzhou City was finally broken. On the day the city was broken, 17 members of Chen Yun's family died for the country. Even the enemies were overwhelmed by the tragic scene, praised him as a loyal minister, and buried him with generous ceremonies. To this day, in order to express their respect to the heroes, the people of Dingzhou have reached a tacit agreement: even though the city is changing with each passing day and every inch of space is precious, no new building in the ancient city can exceed the 83.7-meter height of the Kaiyuan Temple Tower...
