What are the stories of Longdao?

"Dragon Road" was not called Dragon Road in Tang Yue's time, but an ordinary stone road. Later, it was named "Dragon Road" because of Cen Chunxuan, and there are many stories behind it.

After Cen Chunxuan bought Yanshan Garden, he found that the garden had excellent geomantic omen, but he didn't know whether it was suitable for him, so he invited a geomantic gentleman to see it. At that time, there was a Mr. Feng Shui in Hunan, nicknamed "Buwu". It is said that when his master accepted him as a disciple, he predicted that he would be "extremely angry" in his life, and he would be able to see through the five geomantic omen. After five, he would not be able to do so, so he was named "But Five". "Dan Wu" said to Cen Chunxuan after seeing the geomantic omen of Yanshan Garden, other places are very good, but this river is too powerful, with no head and no tail, and occasionally shows its true colors, and its water is cloudy. If it's a dragon, it's a Yin dragon. This dragon is 377 meters long and has too much yin. If there is no dragon to balance it and achieve harmony, then the owner of this garden, the owner of this garden, will prosper and decline. Cen Chunxuan asked how to explain "No.5". "No.5" suggested that Cen Chunxuan build a road similar to a dragon, so he raised all the stone roads originally built by Tang Yue, re-paved them into an arc, and paved a spine in the middle to look like a dragon's body. The dragon starts at the gate and its tail is hidden in the keel hole, which looks like a dragon flying out of the hole to the gate, so this road is called "Dragon Road". The "Dragon Road" is 2700 meters long. "Dragon" is at the old gate, and "Dragon" bares its teeth and claws, forming four channels, which are put into use respectively. "Dragon Road" not only has geomantic function, but also has practical function, because rain will flow along arc-shaped virtual joints and stone joints, and there is no water on the road, so it is very strange.

1907, Cen Chunxuan built "Dragon Road" under the guidance of "Dan V". At this time, he is guarding the system, waiting for the court to fill the vacancy, waiting for his job extension, and expecting Longdao to reach the top. "Dan Wu" said to him: "The Dragon Road is similar to the official road, and it is difficult for the official road to go to heaven." Cen Chunxuan, who didn't agree, just sent No.5 away and became the governor of Sichuan when he received the power of attorney from the court. He was about to take office, but was rejected by the court. It is said that he had an affair with people who participated in the Reform Movement of 1898. It was not until half a year later that Cen Chunxuan was re-appointed as the governor of Sichuan. When leaving, he and his staff, teacher and calligrapher Zhao Fan walked slowly along the "Dragon Road" and sighed: "The Dragon Road is similar to the official road, and the official road is difficult, so it is difficult to go to heaven!"

Time has passed and many changes have taken place in Yanshan Garden, but this "Dragon Road" has been completely preserved and has become attached to many celebrities. Sun Yat-sen, Lin Sen, Chiang Kai-shek and others have all gone through this road.
