After her parents found a husband's family named Feng for her, Xiugu refused to marry. On the eighth day of August in Zhongzong Jinglong, she threw herself into the well. Only one shoe was worn when throwing the well, and the other shoe was left on the well platform. After that, she floated out of the river in Putian, Fujian. It turned out that the well was connected with the river, which was a strange case at that time, so there was a legend that Xiugu had become an immortal.
It is said that Xiangu appeared in a small building in her hometown during the reign of Emperor Zong (766-779). She was seen enjoying the cool under a litchi tree in saionji, and a green silk belt was hung on the tree. Now this place is called "Hanging Green Garden", and the fruit of this litchi has a green ribbon, which is the famous "Hanging Green Litchi" in Zengcheng.
2. In the center of Liuhua Lake Park in Guangzhou, there is an island in the middle of the lake, with lush vegetation and blooming flowers; The winding path leads to a secluded place, and the birds sing clearly. The lake around the island is like a mirror, green and red, and the scenery is very good. A hole was dug at the entrance, and the word "Floating Mountain" was written on it.
"Floating Hill" was originally a stone name. The Pearl River flowing through Guangzhou in ancient times was very wide. More than 2,200 years ago, during the Qin and Han Dynasties, the water surface was still 2,000 meters wide, which was about 10 times as much as it is now.
There are three big stones in the river, which are distributed in three places, east and west, and surfaced. Hai Yin in the East, with its middle name Haizhu, and Qiu Fu in the West. It is the famous "Three Stones in Yangcheng" in ancient times. The ancients regarded it as "the land of Guangzhou" (Qu Dajun's Guangdong Newspeak) and called it the bone of the earth.
Qiu Fushi is located in the east section of Zhongshan Seventh Road, about 250 meters east of the west gate. Its northern end enters the General's Hall and its southern end reaches Li Jiayuan (the houses on both sides of this alley were demolished several years ago and high-rise buildings were built). From the construction of the Three Cities in the Song Dynasty to the demolition of the city walls and road construction in the Republic of China, Qiu Fushi was outside the Western Wall of Guangzhou (the section of Renmin Road from the entrance of the First Hospital of the City to Taiping Bridge today is the site of the Western Wall).
Therefore, the stone is like a hill floating on the water, and the ancients named it after its shape. At present, the ruins of the floating mound stone are more than 2 kilometers away from the Pearl River bank. In the Tang dynasty, the floating mound stone was a place where ships docked. Until the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty, it was still surrounded by water.
Later, the population increased dramatically, the river channel was filled as farmland, and the waterway was flooded for a long time. In the late Southern Song Dynasty, the sea became a mulberry field, and floating hills were connected with the surrounding land, and residential houses were built. The big reef in the middle of this river is composed of Cretaceous red conglomerate and siltstone. Nothing special, but a long-standing myth and legend was born.
It is said that in ancient times, an old man and a young man lived at the foot of Qiu Fushan. The old man who is over sixty years old is blind, so he is called Gong. At least twenty years old, and a loser, known as Uncle Qiu Fu. Two people have been helping each other, * * * with one eye, go to Qiufushan to cut wood and grass to make a living. Regardless of the severe winter and the hot summer, it is done at sunrise every day, and it goes into the sun.
Neighbors saw that the old man and the young man had a hard life, so they gave them some wheat beans and millet from time to time. Gong and Shu are deeply grateful for this, but they feel sorry for their getting older and collecting more and more.
One day, my neighbor's second uncle sent me wheat beans again, but Qiu Fu refused to accept them anyway, but my second uncle insisted on giving them to him. The two of them were pushing me, and Uncle Qiu Fu, who had been silent all the time, suddenly cried, "I still have one eye, and we can still open up wasteland for farming!" Uncle, thank you! We will take your wheat beans and use them as seeds! Thank you! "
In a blink of an eye, in the next spring, and help each other, came to the foot of the mountain to reclaim wasteland. All the land that could be planted at that time was cleaned up. The two men searched and found only a small place in the East End of London. When they turned over the topsoil, they found red rocks below, and nothing could be planted.
But the two were not discouraged, so they waved hoes and reclaimed land there. Dig a floating mountain in front and plant a floating mountain behind. Others plant 3 kilograms a day, and they plant 1 kilogram every three days. That year, there was another drought, and there was not a drop of rain in Grain Rain. Two blind men, leaning against one eye, groped to carry water and spray the ground. When they came home at sunset, they picked up a load of firewood for some salt and rice to make a living.
Day after day, it's time to harvest. Others planted wheat beans with few pods and purple-blue flowers; They planted it, but it was full of strings of pods, Huang Chengcheng's golden flowers.
What is even more strange is that others harvest ordinary wheat beans, but they harvest golden golden beans, and even those bean stalks have become red and white coral Yushu. It is said that the industrious palace and uncle got help from the immortals and became immortals themselves!
In order to repay their neighbors' long-term donations, they quietly scattered these golden beans back to the doors of each household and scattered them all over the street. This is the origin of "Sajin Lane" in old Guangzhou, but later generations changed it to "Jinji Lane" out of taboo. The firewood they picked on their shoulders turned into coral Yushu. It is said that the magic pen of Li Zichang, a great painter of the Ming Dynasty, was changed by a piece of firewood they sent.
Later, a nursery rhyme said, "Uncle and Uncle both have the same vision. Those who sow beans into gold don't know that a bunch of corals are on their shoulders. " Now the east section of Zhongshan No.7 Road, formerly known as Shigang Street, is full of red sandstone underground, which is said to be the place where wheat beans are planted.
The "Fushan Island" in Liuhua Lake Park was built in 1982, and its name was taken from the story of the floating rocks mentioned above. The island is surrounded by water and green trees on the shore of the lake. Looking from a distance, it is still like an ancient floating island, giving people an ancient memory and continuing a homesickness.
According to legend, in the Qin Dynasty, there was a small village under Baiyun Mountain, where a young man named Zheng An lived. His father died a long time ago, and there was only one old mother. Mother and son lived alone. When Zheng An was a child, he followed his father to practice medicine and learned a little medical knowledge, so he opened a small shop at the entrance of the village to sell raw herbs and treat the villagers.
Although his family is poor, he is very compassionate. When the poor come to see a doctor, they not only don't accept medical expenses, but also reduce medical expenses, so they are deeply loved by local villagers. One year, an epidemic occurred in Baiyun Mountain area. Sick people are afraid of the cold at first, then they have a high fever, and at the same time they are sore all over, have a runny nose and cough.
If the treatment is not timely, it will cramp and coma until death. Zheng Anqi looked through all the medical books and tried various drugs, but none of them worked. Seeing the villagers groan and die tragically, he was heartbroken and extremely anxious.
One night, Zheng An went home to see a doctor for the villagers. When his mother saw that he looked haggard and sad, she asked him about his recent treatment. Zheng Anqi sighed and told her that the epidemic was getting worse. Mother listened and sighed again and again. She thought for a moment and then said, "I heard from your father in my early years that it is best to use nine calamus to treat this epidemic, but this medicine is hard to find!" " "
After his mother said this, Zheng Anqi suddenly saw a glimmer of light in the dark and quickly asked, "What shape is the nine-section calamus and where does it grow?"
Mother said: "I heard that its petals are like orchids, its stem is divided into nine sections, its body is like a spoon handle, and it is fragrant and quiet, but it grows on the cliffs of high mountains." This medicine is hard to find. Your father has been looking for it all his life, so you don't have to think about it! "
Zheng Anqi is a stubborn man. He said to himself, "No! Even if I travel all over the world, I will find nine calamus to cure the villagers! " The next day, Zheng Anqi arranged her mother's life, so she picked up a bamboo basket and went out with a hoe.
Where can I find it? He thinks we should search Baiyun Mountain first in the near future. Baiyun Mountain is towering with ancient trees, surrounded by white clouds, flowing water, birds and flowers. For all this, Zheng Anqi has no intention of watching. He just wants to find nine calamus. He continued his search on the mountain and climbed the cliff he had never been to.
Sharp rocks cut his feet, sharp thorns cut his hands, and he didn't feel any pain at all. He walked from the west to the east of Baiyun Mountain. He searched for nearly a day, but he didn't even see the shadow of Acorus calamus.
As the sun sets and dusk falls, Zheng An is very disappointed. He sat down on a big stone on the edge of the cliff, and only then did he feel that his clothes were soaked with sweat, his stomach was growling with hunger, and he was exhausted. Just then, suddenly a breeze blew, bringing a burst of fragrance. This fragrance is fresher than orchids and sweeter than roses, which makes him feel refreshed. He immediately stood up and followed the scent.
Finally, I found an orchid-like plant growing two or three feet below the cliff. He counted the flower stems, no more, no less, just nine knots, just nine knots of calamus! At that moment, Zheng An jumped for joy. Zheng Anqi immediately went over and tried to reach it, but it was too low to pull.
He tried to find the way down the mountain, but there was no way to cross the cliff. Seeing that the treasure had not been picked under his nose, he stamped his feet anxiously. At this moment, he suddenly found a vine under a rock.
He had a brainwave, immediately collected it, twisted it into a rope, tied one end to a rock, and hung the other end under a cliff. Then he climbed the vine himself, fell off the cliff, climbed nearly nine calamus, and carefully picked them.
He bit the calamus with his mouth and climbed the vines with his hands, trying to climb to the top of the cliff. Suddenly, I heard a bang, the rattan suddenly broke, and Zheng An fell off the cliff. At the critical moment, a white cloud rose from the cliff, suddenly turned into a crane, firmly grasped Zheng Anqi, and then carried him away. It is said that he appeared as a fairy.
Later, the villagers came here in the footsteps of Zheng Along 'an, found nine kinds of calamus, and used it to put out the epidemic. In order to commemorate the Zheng 'an period, people called the place where he fell off the cliff Zhengxian Cliff and Xiaoxi Pujian, and built a temple there called Pujian Temple for people to sacrifice.
4. In the eight years of Zhou Yiwang, Guangzhou was empty and barren. Once, years of famine, barren fields, agricultural failure, people suffering. One day, Yue Xian suddenly fills the air over the South China Sea, softly and melodiously. Then five colorful auspicious clouds appeared. There are five immortals in the cloud, dressed in colorful clothes and riding colorful fairy sheep. Every sheep came to Chuting with an ear of rice with "six out of one stem" in its mouth.
The immortal gave the ear of rice to the people of Guangzhou, wishing a bumper harvest and no famine. May the immortals fly on the colorful clouds. Because of their attachment to the world, five fairy sheep turned to stone and stayed, wishing Guangzhou a good weather. Since then, Guangzhou has become the richest place in Lingnan. This is why Guangzhou is known as "Five Yangcheng", "Yangcheng" and "Guangzhou".
5. On Shuzhugang, Haizhu District, Guangzhou, there is an oval big stone lying on the platform, engraved with the four characters of "Stone Cycle".
According to legend, in the Han Dynasty, Li Zhong, a general, was engaged in war with the enemy. Being outnumbered, they were chased by enemy soldiers and strayed into the mountains. He ran around in the vast forest, but he couldn't find a way out. He walked alone on the mountain road with his horse, unaware that it was dark.
At this time, Emperor Donghua was swimming here. When he saw that Li Zhong was lost, he pressed Yuntou and came to Li Zhong to exert influence on him. Li Zhong was at the end of the road and lamented the changes of the world, so he followed Emperor Donghua into the mountains to practice. Over time, Li Zhong became a fairy through cultivation. Born in the Han Dynasty, it was named Han Zhongli.
One day, Han Zhong came to Handan, Hebei Province from the cloud and met Lv Dongbin, who was in Beijing to take the exam. As soon as they hit it off, they had a heart-to-heart talk in the inn. Seeing that he was born with fine features, noble temperament and full of knowledge, Han Zhongli intended to influence him. Seeing Han Zhong's slight spell, Lv Dongbin gradually felt tired and dozed off. Han Zhongli took a pillow and helped Lv Dongbin get a stiff neck to sleep.
As soon as Lv Dongbin lay down, he began to dream. He dreamed that he was admitted to the top scholar, and the court sealed his official position and reported that he was beating gongs and drums to report good news. Everyone came to congratulate him, and he finally made a fortune.
However, the good times did not last long, and soon he was dismissed because of disaster. Lv Dongbin woke up in a cold sweat. He thought about it and was filled with emotion, especially fame and fortune, which is just a passing thing, and there is no need to pursue it deliberately. So, he gave up the idea of going to Beijing to catch the exam and left the monastery with Han Zhong.
They walked all the way south, I don't know how many days. They came to Dasonggang (now people call it Shuzhugang) on the south bank of the Pearl River in Guangzhou. Seeing beautiful mountains and rivers, strange turquoise and quiet realm, they chose to rest here. One day, Han Zhongli wanted to see if Lv Dongbin was still greedy for fame and wealth, debauchery and lewdness.
So he chose a big stone at the top of the column and said to Lv Dongbin, "I'll teach you how to turn the stone into gold. As long as you learn from me, you can turn this big stone into gold. " Lv Dongbin thought for a moment and asked, "After turning a stone into gold, will it become a stone again in the future?" Han Zhongli replied: "The stone is reincarnation. After 500 years, this stone can still be restored to the original stone."
Hearing this, Lv Dongbin immediately shook his head and said quickly, "I'm not going to learn this spell. If this stone turns back to stone after 500 years, won't it harm people after 500 years? Don't order, don't order! " Caffey saw Lv Dongbin, the in the mind really worried, so the in the mind is not exultation. He immediately canceled alchemy, and the stone never turned into gold.
Lv Dongbin, unmoved by fame and fortune, is kind and upright, which is exactly what Han Zhongli hopes. So Han Zhong accepted him as an apprentice immediately after he left. The story passed down, and later generations carved the four characters of "stone cycle" on the big stone on Shuzhugang as a souvenir. After the completion of the pure sunshine view, it has become a major scenic spot in Guangzhou. There are couplets in the view: turning stone into gold, considering that it will still be turned into gold in the future; Learn to be immortal, and you will know that this idea is true.
