The main content of the legend of Emperor Yan.

When Shennong was collecting herbs in Shennongjia, he boarded the Yanzi Cliff and Tianmen Cliff, which are known as fairyland, and then boarded Huishengzhai, thus recording 72 kinds of Yang-tonifying drugs in Huishengzhai in his purple bamboo slips Shennong Herbal Classic.

According to legend, this time, the Yang-restoring medicine of Shengzhai came back to life, so it was called "Huishengzhai". When Shennong crossed a small wooden bridge in Huishengzhai, he accidentally dropped the bamboo slips of Shennong Materia Medica under the bridge, hence the name "Lost Book Bridge".

Shennong is in a dilemma. Suddenly, a group of white cranes flew from the blue sky and took him to the sky, becoming a "medicine fairy". Since then, Huisheng Village has been full of fragrance all year round, so it was renamed Liuxiang Village.
