Three miles southwest of Hui 'an County, Quanzhou, Fujian Province, at the junction with Jinjiang County, there is a Luoyang River. It is said that before he ascended the throne, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty traveled to Quanzhou incognito. He felt that the beautiful mountains and rivers here were similar to the beauty of Luoyang, so he casually said, "It's really a river view of Luoyang." Later, when he became emperor, he called this river Luoyang River.

Legend has it that there was a girl named Cai by the Luoyang River who married Wang and gave birth to an only child. One day, she came to the river to play, saw a pearl floating in the river, picked it up and put it in her mouth, not wanting to swallow it, so she became pregnant. Miss Cai was very angry and kicked her out of the house. Miss Cai walked and cried, and came to the ferry on Luoyang River to go to her grandmother's house on the other side. When the ship reached the middle of the river, it was caught in a storm. It turned out to be a shrimp demon and a crab demon. It takes the opportunity to make waves and is likely to capsize. Bodhisattva Guanyin of the South China Sea stood on the cloud and gave orders: "Don't be rude, there are noble people in Chua's belly." Teacher Cai also heard clearly. I thought to myself: Is it me? At present, I kneel at the bow and swear to heaven: "God, little girl Cai, if I can have a boy and win the first prize, I must build the bridge over Luoyang River." The words just fell and the river was calm and safe.

Miss Cai gave birth to a boy. Because she has no husband, she takes her family name as surname, Cai, Xiang and Zi. This Cai Xiang is so talented. He won the title of "Xie Yuan" after having obtained the provincial examination, and was awarded the title of "Huiyuan" after taking the exam in Beijing the next year. After the court examination, the emperor personally selected him as the champion, which is the so-called "three-yuan discipline". (Originally, the ancient examination system was: 1. After the provincial examination, it is held every three years in the provincial capital, with scholars participating. In the exam, the first juror is Jie Yuan, and the second to tenth juror is Ya Yuan. 2. After the provincial examination, it was held in the Ritual Department of the capital in the following spring, and jurors also took part in the examination. 3. palace examination: The first place is Hui Yuan. )

Cai Xiang young success, ternary and. Official hair Quanzhou satrap. Mr. Cai is happy outside, and his grandson won the first prize, which is a great honor for his ancestors. Only his mother Cai is unhappy. "Mom, my child was lucky to win the first prize, and the whole family was beaming. Why is mom like this? " Chua said, "To tell you the truth, I'm telling you now because my mother has something on her mind." So I told the story of how the transitional Luoyang River encountered a storm and made a vow to build Luoyang Bridge. There is a saying: "My son is the best in the world, but the Luoyang River is wide and deep, and the current is fast. It is difficult to do anything. " Cai Zhuangyuan said, "Mother, don't worry, Luoyang Bridge will be built."

Cai Zhuangyuan Cai Zhuangyuan posted that the villagers are happy and help each other. However, the river is so high, how can this pier be put down? . Unless the sea dragon king didn't have a high tide, it would be nice if someone sent a message to the sea dragon king, so he wrote another article: Who has the ability to enter the sea? While hesitating, Cai Zhuangyuan's plan to build a bridge touched the founder of the eight-hole immortal Lv Chunyang. He gave a dream to a man named Xia Dehai (also called Luo Dehai, whose pronunciation is the same as that of the sea, but he finally fell into the sea). (For the book delivered by Xia Dehai, see my blog post "Falling into the Sea" on Yundu Forum. ) Lv Chunyang's father said to him, "Send the book back, and wealth is waiting for you." Xia Dehai brought back Lv Dongbin's calligraphy from the sea and a reply from the Dragon King. Cai Xiang opened it and saw that the Dragon King only approved the word "belly vinegar", which puzzled Cai Xiang. Lv Chunyang's father became a cripple to solve his problem, which originally meant "1 1 month 2 1 day". Cai Xiang was overjoyed, waiting for the pier surface. The shrimp demon and crab demon made waves and washed the pier away.

Cai Zhi, the top scholar, was at his wit's end. The Guanyin Bodhisattva, who had already been alarmed, turned into a beauty and set foot on a colorful dragon boat with talent and a dragon girl, and came to the Luoyang River. Talented people play drums, while dragon girls play gongs. He sang: "Whoever can invest half a cent of money, regardless of wealth, is worthy of marriage, and whoever can invest money in his body, regardless of age, is worthy of marriage." Crying, emotional people along the river, a sea of people, throwing at beautiful women, how can Guanyin Bodhisattva be thrown by mortals? At this time, Lv Chunyang's ancestors passed by. He doesn't like the practice of Guanyin. He thought: Your name is Buddha's mother. Why are there six impure roots? All you can think about is "debauchery and wealth" and "wine" Ordinary people respect it with wine. Nowadays, beautiful women cheat money and are charming. I can't help making fun of it. So he became a Taoist and said to an old man selling straw sandals, "Why don't you try?" The old man said, "I have no money, even if I have money, I won't throw it to her." "Not a penny?" "It's only thirty cents in all." "Three cents is enough." Lv Chunyang took three cents of silver, wiped it with his hand and turned it into silver powder. He taught the old man to throw a beautiful woman Lv Chunyang with a brush, and the silver powder stuck to her clothes. Guanyin couldn't get rid of it, so she had to sink the colorful dragon boat into the river. Cai Zhuangyuan is rich, but the dock was washed away by the waves three times, and he thought hard. Lv Chunyang is here. He scattered orange seeds on the river and turned it into a solid dock. Soon the bridge was closed.
