Historical legends

There is a legend that as early as the early Shang Dynasty (about 16 and 17 centuries), there is also a story that during the reign of King Wei Lie of Zhou (that is, in the 4th century A.D.), there was a gentleman in Lushan who studied Taoism and sought immortality. It is said that the word "Xiao Jun" is popular in Kuang, and some books call it "Kuang Yu" and "Zi Xiao", while others call it "Kuang Xu". Judging from the traditional combination of names in China, it is more reasonable to call it Yu. Vulgar characters are misinformed and vulgar continuous words are ignored, which is also the fun of hearsay. But now the widely circulated name is Kuangcu, and few people know about Kuangyu. For convenience, here are the familiar names. In addition, there is a legend that the custom of rectification is called Lu custom. This legend is based on famous mountains, imagining people, taking place names as surnames and surnames, which is in line with ancient practice. As for his last name, there is no need to investigate, and there is no way to investigate.

It is said that the story of Kuang Customs seeking immortality in Lushan Mountain is known to the imperial court. Therefore, Zhou repeatedly asked him to come out of the mountain to help, and the customs of Kuang repeatedly evaded and sneaked into the mountains. Later, the custom of Kuang disappeared without a trace. Some people say that he has become an immortal, which is naturally nonsense. Later, people beautified this matter and called this place where people seek immortality through correcting customs "immortal residence". That's how Lushan got its name. Because the name of the immortal is Kuang, it is also called Kuangshan or Kuanglu. In the Song Dynasty, in order to avoid the taboos of Song Taizu and Zhao Kuangyin, it was renamed Lushan.

Another legend is that there was a man named Fang Fu in Zhou Wuwang. They rode white donkeys into the mountain with old Gigi Lai, and both of them became immortals, leaving only an empty hut on the mountain. People call this mountain "Lushan Mountain". Mr. Chengxian's real name is Fu, so he is also called Fu Shan. But Laozi and King Wu are different at the same time, which is also a fairy tale.

The third legend is the story of Mr. Kuang Su, but the time is late and the plot is somewhat different. It is said that Dongye Wang, the father of Kuangzu, once helped Liu Bang pacify the world with Duyang Gong Wu Rui, but Dongye Wang unfortunately died halfway. In recognition of his meritorious service, the imperial court established Dongye Wang Kuang's son to be vulgar in Wuyang (Wu, Xiao and Wuyang belong to a department of Duyang County today). In the name of Jun, Jun Kuang was vulgar, and he had seven brothers who loved Taoism. They all went to the mountains near Duyang Lake to learn Taoism and seek immortality. The mountain where Yuelu brothers learn Taoism and seek immortality is called Lushan Mountain.

Legends of Lushan Mountain and Lv Dongbin

According to folklore, Lushan Mountain is a "land of immortals". As early as the 4th century BC, when Zhou Weilie became king, the Kuang Su brothers learned Taoism and became immortals in Lushan Mountain. Later, it is said that in Zhou Wuwang, Taoist Fang Fu and Lao Tzu Li Er rode white donkeys into the mountains to make an alchemy and became immortals. It is also said that two high-legged disciples of Zhang Tianshi, Wang Chang and Zhao Sheng, were sent to Lushan Mountain to manage the 69th blessed land of Taoism. ...

The mysterious clouds and remote dense forest caves in Lushan Mountain add charm to these myths and legends. However, none of the above-mentioned immortal alchemists left many relics and poems in Lushan Mountain, nor could they tell a systematic story. Only Lv Dongbin, one of the Eight Cave Immortals, has many relics and some poems in Lushan and Jiujiang.

Bai Yuchan, a poet in the Song Dynasty, said in "A Letter to Mo Tang": When Lv Dongbin was traveling in Lushan Mountain, he met Han Zhongli in the Eight Immortals and gave Dan medicine to Lv Dongbin. Then they became immortals together. The Record of Lushan Mountain also records that during the reign of Emperor Xiantong of Tang Dynasty (860-874), Lv Dongbin roamed the rivers and lakes, crossed Lushan Mountain, and was taught fencing by Zhenwu Longwang. Lv Dongbin, who has both the Five Dragons swordsmanship and Li Hanzhong alchemy, carefully cultivated in the immortal cave under the Jinxiu Peak in Lushan Mountain. Up to now, there is still a statue of Lv Dongbin in the shrine of Fairy Cave, wearing a sword and shaped like a saint.

Legend of Taiping Palace

There lived a Taoist priest named Hu in Lushan Taiping Palace. One day, a Taoist priest who claimed to be "the person who answered questions" passed by the Taiping Palace. This man is handsome, well-dressed, and has a little spirit. However, no one in the palace paid attention to him. Only Taoist Hu entertained him with a cup of tea, and they talked and laughed while drinking tea. After a while, the "irrelevant answer" pointed to his chest and asked Hu Daoshi for a drink. Taoist Hu took out a pot of wine. He drank 100 cups in one breath, which is not enough. He was still not drunk from morning till evening, and invited Hu Daoshi to his residence for a drink. Hu Daoshi said it was getting late and declined politely.

A few years later, a disheveled and unkempt man who called himself "Ke Song" came to see Taoist Hu again. This "big songke" is carrying two big jars on his shoulders, saying that it is his luggage. He dumped the jar full of gold and silver on the ground. He took out a little broken silver, bought wine and drank it with Hu Daoshi until the sun went down. This "Da Songke" pinched some soil with a knife, poured the rest of the wine into it, and stirred it into ink, which would jingle when touched by hand. At this time, Taoist Hu was drunk, sleeping in bed, and "Da" left. After "Da Songke" left, the room was filled with strange fragrance all day, and the knives left by "Da Songke" were also glittering, and people rushed to buy them. Taoist Hu woke up and saw the ink, so he came to eat it. After eating half, he was refreshed and his old illness completely disappeared. Until he was in his seventies, he looked like a teenager, and even his capacity for alcohol was not as good as before.

Legend of Huanglongtan

Regarding the two waterfalls, Huanglong and Wulongtan, there is a folk myth about Huanglong and Bailong: it is said that this temple was built by a monk in Huanglongtan who surrendered to Huanglong. At that time, there was an unruly Huanglong hidden in Huanglongtan, and he often lost his temper, which led to flash floods, flooded fertile land and miserable people, but he also sneaked into Huanglongtan, a deep pool of cliffs. In this way, what Huanglong did made the downstream areas often suffer from floods. Later, the Zen master Chekong traveled here and heard that there was such an evil Huanglong, so he tamed it with Buddhist teachings. After the return of Huanglong, the descendants turned into a mass of jiaozi, making waves again and harming the people. When the Zen master Che Kong saw this scene, he rang the doorbell, and jiaozi heard the bell and fled. In order to completely surrender the glutinous rice balls and benefit the people, Master Chekong built Huanglong Temple not far from Huanglongtan to curb the glutinous rice balls, and dug a dragon cave beside the pavilion dedicated to the sacred bell, thus surrendering the evil dragon of glutinous rice balls. Therefore, there is a huge stone near the Sambo tree, engraved with the word "Dragon", which is the meaning of the holy bell.

Hundreds of years later, Zen master Chekong died in the Western Heaven, and most of the dragons he surrendered have turned over a new leaf. Only the red and black dragons, which are still vicious, often rise to the red and black clouds and fight fiercely in the air, causing darkness, thunder and lightning and heavy rain on Sunday. Where the two dragons fought fiercely, the trees were uprooted and there was not a tile left in the farmhouse. Only the Buddhist scriptures of Huanglong Temple built by the seven-hole Zen master remain intact, while the Cijing Pavilion and the Sambo Tree are intact.

In Wulongtan, not far from Huanglongtan, there is a gentle and kind white dragon. Not only is Bailong not as violent and disruptive as Huanglong, but it often brings a lot of convenience to monks and locals in Huiyuan and Tolin Temple. On the day of drought, Bailong will spray clouds and spray, which will bring down showers, moisten seedlings and benefit all beings. In flood season, Bailong absorbs water and drains water, which does not flood farmland or harm farmhouses. Therefore, the White Dragon is loved and worshipped by monks and people around Toringi. To show gratitude and respect, people collect 100 fruits at the beginning of June every year, send them vegetables and rice, throw them into the pond, and offer sacrifices to dragons. This kind of activity is called dragon food delivery by locals. It is said that the dragon rice must be sent to Wulongtan, or even if it is placed on a stone near the pool, Bailong will not appreciate it. Over the years, Bailong has been cultivating self-cultivation in Wulongtan for the benefit of all beings. The Wulongtan Waterfall, which is divided into several strands, flows all year round, and the white dragon is accompanied day and night. In this way, Wulongtan and Wulongtan Waterfall were formed. People often visit here, not only because they are attracted by the charm and beauty here, but also because there are such beautiful and moving legends circulating here, which make them linger.

Fairy cave legend

Since Zhu Yuanzhang established the Daming regime, in order to maintain his rule, he explained that he was the "son of heaven", and with the help of God, he compiled many myths in this respect, most of which were related to the immortal cave. According to legend, after Zhu Yuanzhang proclaimed himself emperor, he suddenly had a fever and was on the verge of death. The imperial doctor in the palace was helpless. Suddenly, it was reported that the barefoot monk in Lushan Fairy Cave presented warm medicine to Tian Yan and Zhou Dian Fairy. After Zhu Yuanzhang took it, he recovered immediately, and Mao was so happy that he sent messengers to Lushan to find immortals. When the messenger came to the Xiandong Trail to look for it, there was no temple, only the word "Zhuyin Temple" carved on the Cangyan boulder. The messenger was surprised and returned to Beijing to reply to me. Zhu Yuanzhang ordered to build a "visiting fairy pavilion" next to the carving place. The path beside the pavilion is also called "Xiandao". Walk past the Visiting Fairy Pavilion and walk along the Fairy Road to the New Visiting Fairy Pavilion.

It is said that during the Republic of China, Chiang Kai-shek, Song Meiling and Marshall went to this pavilion to enjoy the moon and tea on a starry and calm night. They sat in the pavilion, watching the Qifeng swallow the moon, the stars shining, carefree and very comfortable. On the cliff hanging wall around the cave, there are dozens of ancient sculptures such as "Yungen", "Finger citron Rock", "Together in the same boat", "Surrounding the Road to Revive", "No two immortals", "Seeing the truth together" and "I am always happy", which are quite interesting.

These majestic, handsome, fast-flowing and large-scale stone carvings add a bit of charm and affection to the beautiful mountains of Qingfeng, and lead the eyes of future generations to the depths of history. Based on the fairy cave and overlooking the valley mouth, there is a simple, quiet and beautiful natural scenery. Lin Yuncheng wrote in the poem "Rhyme of bergamot Rock": "The cave is cold and the autumn leaves are crowded. The night frost clock flows, and the rain brakes hang clouds. " His poems are about the late autumn season, when the vegetation is shaking and the dew is frosty. In this season, being in the fairy cave is more suitable for a fairy dream.

Legend of Dayang peak

There is a stone platform on the top of Dayang Mountain, which is called the balcony of Han Dynasty. According to legend, during Pangu, Hanwang used to escape the flood disaster here. It is said that you can watch Hanyang lanterns here at night. Even in the daytime, it is quite refreshing from a distance: the Yangtze River and the Han River, and the Chutian Kingdom are unobstructed; As for the mountain near the summit, it is even more impressive. There is also a stone pillar on the peak, engraved with the words "Great Hanyang Peak", and there is a couplet next to it. The first couplet is "Where did the peak come from, vividly in Hanyang, Chu Yu's broken soul fan"; The bottom line is "I want to go home by the wind, in vain, and I may leave my life for Sangtian". Carved in the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, it is quite artistic.

In front of the stage is a stone cliff named Yu Wang Cliff. It is said that Dayu came here to observe the water potential of the Yangtze River and consider ways to control water. People climb the summit, watch the Yangtze River roll eastward, watch the vast waves of Poyang Lake at close range, and overlook the rolling mountains under their feet, which is quite magnificent and full of weather.
