Legends about "Fairy Peak", "tianmashan" and "Leo" in Xiangtan area? Add "Zhaoshan"?

Fairy mountain ranks first among the four famous mountains in Xiangtan (fairy mountain, Zhaoshan, Jinxia Mountain and Hidden Mountain), and is located about 20km northwest of Xiangtan City. A winding granite mountain climbs up to the top of the mountain.

Fairy mountain was originally named Long 'anshan. During the Tang Dynasty, a monk from Shaanxi came to live here. Immediately, good men and women began to build temples and named them "Long 'an Temple" (according to Liu Zongyuan's "Longan Sea Zen Master Monument"). As for people calling this mountain "Fairy Mountain", Longan Mountain has been forgotten, which is due to a legend: in the Song Dynasty, there lived a pair of mother-in-law at the foot of the mountain, who were loyal and generous; Daughter-in-law is diligent and thrifty, collecting herbs and farming. One day, my mother-in-law suddenly fainted, and when she woke up, her eyes were dark and her eyes were blind. In order to cure her mother-in-law's eyes, her daughter-in-law goes up the mountain to collect medicine every day. Once, she was so tired that she sat under a big tree to have a rest. As soon as she closed her eyes, she saw a beautiful young girl walking towards her with a big red peach in her hand and said, "Take this peach back to her mother-in-law, and her eyes will be fine." Daughter-in-law was pleasantly surprised. When she opened her eyes, the girl had disappeared. Strange to say, my mother-in-law just finished eating peaches, but she felt hot all over and her eyes were swollen. After a while, his eyes lit up again, clearer than before. Everyone said that this is a fairy whose mother-in-law is kind and whose daughter-in-law is filial, which moved the rescue. People changed the name of this mountain to "fairy mountain" to show their reverence for this immortal, and "Long 'an Temple" was also called "Fairy Temple".

Fairy Palace is divided into three main halls. Each has its own gate square, which faces south and is built on the mountain. It is magnificent, with blue brick walls, glazed tiles and carved buildings. The temple gate is written with the words "Long 'an Temple", and the gate is associated with the "Four Dynasties"; Three Chu Grand View was written by He, a calligrapher in Qing Dynasty. Behind the mountain gate is the Temple of the King of Wu, and in front is a pair of stone lions dedicated to the statue of Guan Yunchang. The middle hall is the queen's hall, with two halls, east and west. The inscription of Fairy Mountain is hung on the front of the East Hall; The wall is engraved with poems of officials and tourists of past dynasties; There is a monk's house and a living room in the west hall, and there is a relief of the Eight Immortals on the wall, which is exquisite in craftsmanship. There are two ponds outside the west hall. One is the release pond. In the pond, there is a big live turtle with the words "never old for a thousand years" engraved on its back. One is Swan Lake, where the cracks on the four walls are flooded and the drought is endless. Legend has it that this Swan Lake can also automatically produce oil, salt and grain. The back hall is the ancestral hall. There is also a slope on the mountain called Qiling. Tang Shengzhi, the general of the Northern Expedition, came here to ride a horse and watch the mountains.

tianma mountains

It is said that Tianmen was flooded in Shun Di. Shun ordered Gun and Yu to control water.

One day, Dayu came to the state of Chu to control water, only to find the flood boundless and the cry for help in the water miserable. He hastily planted fallow soil (note: fallow soil is legendary land), and a handful of fallow soil fell in Xiangheng area, which was divided into three places. In a short time, three pieces of fallow soil surfaced and became a hill. The people struggling in the water were saved, and Dayu dredged the river again.

At first, the three mountains were all the same height. The southernmost one is called Nanyue, the middle one is called Tianma and the northern one is called Bauhinia. Later, Sanshan saw that people called each other brothers, children and girls, and finally felt that they should be ranked according to seniority and size, just like people. After consulting with Sanshan, it is agreed that whoever grows taller in the future will be regarded as the eldest brother.

Of the three mountains, tianmashan is the most competitive. In order to become the leader of the three mountains, tianmashan can't wait. It grew 330 feet overnight, and before long, the top of the mountain was close to the sky. On this day, the Jade Emperor went to court in Lingxiao Hall. Suddenly, something tripped at his feet and he fell. He looked intently and saw that it was tianmashan. He has been growing up unsatisfied, but he came to Lingxiao Concert Hall. This mountain is arrogant, not bad! In a rage, the Jade Emperor sent 36 Raytheon to punish tianmashan severely. Before coming to tianmashan, all Thors were ordered to show their magical power. At that time, there was lightning and thunder, flying stones and sand, and the fire was soaring. Thor cut tianmashan to a height of 100 feet before returning to heaven. Tianmashan is bare from halfway up the mountain to the top of the mountain, which is the trace of Thor's punishment.

Leo: gorgeous royal demeanor, beautiful and dazzling.

Gorgeous and exaggerated Hanfu can make Leo feel safe and satisfied. Golden brocade, red and orange velvet, or embroidered with sequins, it is best to add a little raw edge. This luxurious costume of the royal aristocrats makes colorful Leo fully show his grace.

She is a princess in the twelve constellations and has incomparable luxury. For her, nothing can hide her dazzling color. Few women can wear red unconventional, because red is too dazzling, but if one day, you find a woman wearing red, but you clearly see her bright eyes, but you don't pay attention to her bright clothes. She is mostly a confident girl in Leo. Most Leo women like all kinds of high-quality furs and gorgeous coats, but those luxurious and extraordinary things are not tacky at all, only expensive.

Zhaoshan, also known as Zhaoshan and Mashan. The name "Mashan" is because Ma Yuan, a general of the Han Dynasty, once stationed troops here. The name of "Zhao Zhao Mountain" was recorded by Kangxi in Xiangtan County Records in the Qing Dynasty, and "Zhaotan is under it, hence the name".

Regarding the origin of "Zhao", the Jin Dynasty's "Zhongxiang Ji" said that "King Zhao of Zhou traveled south here, hence the name"; However, in Guang Yu Ji, a geography book of the Northern Song Dynasty, there are statements that "Zhao Chu and Wang Nan came from their names", but these statements have not become conclusive.

On the contrary, among the people, there is a simpler and more direct understanding: "Why Zhaoshan?" Zhaoshan is the same as Zhaoshan. "Xiangshan attracts mountains, but tourists are not happy to travel for a long time." Therefore, Xiangtan people who are doing business outside will be recruited back.

According to historical records, Zhaoshan's reputation was greatly shocked "since the Northern Song Dynasty". The reason is the preface of Mi Fei's Eight Scenes of Xiaoxiang.

In that preface, "Sunshine Mountain City" is listed as the second of the eight scenic spots in Xiaoxiang: "Relying on the mountain is the country, living in four places is the home. The meeting of fish and shrimp, the capital of Lingqiu. Come on, let go slowly ... "
