The origin and scenic legend of Bagong Mountain

Bagong Mountain is located in the middle of Anhui Province and the middle reaches of Huaihe River. It consists of more than 40 peaks, with Fiona Fang covering more than 200 square kilometers, and the main peak is 24 1.2 meters above sea level. Bagong Mountain has a long history and was called Beishan, Fuling and Zijinshan in ancient times. There is a kind of "Huainan worm" fossil formed 800 million years ago, which is the earliest paleontological fossil found in the world so far and is praised as the source of life on the "blue planet" by international geologists. In 2000, the archaeological team of the Chinese Academy of Sciences found another ape fossil in Bagong Mountain, more than 3 million years ago. This is the earliest ape fossil found in China so far.

As early as the end of primitive society and slave society, there lived a Huai tribe in the Huaihe River Basin. A vassal state called "Zhou Lai" was established in the Western Zhou Dynasty, with its capital at the foot of Bagong Mountain. The name "Bagong Mountain" comes from the myth that Liu An, the king of Huainan in the Western Han Dynasty, learned Taoism and became immortal. In the Western Han Dynasty, Bagong Mountain belonged to Huainan. Liu An, son of Emperor Gaozu Li and uncle of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, was named King of Huainan. Liu An attached importance to literature and talents, recruited more than 3,000 scholars from all over the world, and compiled the famous book Huai Nan Zi. He compiled the twenty-four solar terms for the first time and invented tofu, a world-famous food. Among them, Zuo Wu, Li Shang, Su Fei, God bless, Maubere, Baylor, Wu Bei and Jinchang, who are most appreciated by Liu An, are listed as the eight great heroes. Liu An and his disciples often wrote books, studied astronomical phenomena, compiled calendars and refined cinnabar in Bagong Mountain. According to legend, one day, Liu An and Bagong were made into elixirs, and they lived forever after taking them. There is a record in Taiping Yuhuan: "In the past, the king of Huainan and Bagong climbed mountains and buried gold here, and ascended to heaven in the daytime. The rest of the medicine is in the container, and chickens and dogs lick it, and none of them will die. There are chariots and horses behind him, which are still there today, so the mountain is named after Bagong. " This is also the origin of the allusion that "one person gets the Tao and chickens and dogs ascend to heaven".
