Stone Cattle Road : ウィキペディア英語版 | Stone Cattle Road The Stone Cattle Road () was an ancient Chinese road over the Qinling Mountains used by the state of Qin to conquer the Sichuan in 316 BC. ==The story== The story goes that King Huiwen of Qin on the Wei River wished to conquer the kingdom of Shu to the south over the Qinling Mountains in the Sichuan Basin. He therefore had his sculptors make five life-sized stone cows. He decorated their tails and hindquarters with gold and placed them where the Shu ambassadors could see them. When the king of Shu heard of this he thought it would be good to fertilize his treasury with golden cowpats, so he asked the king of Qin to send him some cattle. The king of Qin replied that the cattle were delicate and that to deliver them it would first be necessary to build a gallery road over the mountains. When this Stone Cattle Road was completed in 316 BC he used it to invade and conquer Shu. 〔John Keay, China - A History,2009, pp. 80–83〕 Sage gives a slightly different version of the story. Another source〔M Kennelly(1908) translation of L Richard(1905), 'Comprehensive Geography of the Chinese Empire', page 45〕 mentions a Golden Ox Road () which passes through the western end of the Qinling Mountains over the Tianshaling and Wuting passes. Legend says it was built to seize oxen of a similar nature that lived in the mountains.
