What are the folk customs in Jiangdu?

Fairy Temple, formerly known as Jiangdu County, is related to Du Kang, two female Taoist priests practicing in Notre Dame de Dongling. It was originally called Cai Jiazhuang.

According to legend, one year in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a disaster from heaven, and a black dragon came to the East China Sea to make trouble here. It rained cats and dogs, the river surged, crops and houses were flooded, and the people were miserable. I don't want the black dragon to go, the plague to come again, and the whole village to vomit and diarrhea, dying. Just then, a white dragon appeared in the sky, strutting around and killing at least the black dragon. Two dragons descended from the sky and plunged into the water until it was dark and white waves surged.

After several hours of fighting, the black dragon could not resist the enemy and fled in a mess. At this time, the sky cleared up, the flood retreated along the river to the Yangtze River, and the people submerged in the water were saved. Just then, a yellow crane flew from the horizon, with an herb in its mouth. Soon, the white dragon and the yellow crane disappeared, and two girls dressed in costumes appeared in front of people.

It turns out that they are Hekang, a female Taoist who has a haircut at Notre Dame de Dongling. The two girls cooked two cauldrons of soup with the herbs they found and sent them to every household. Strange to say, the medicine was withdrawn when I got sick. Later, the county magistrate listened and wanted two beautiful girls to marry his two sons, but the girls refused.

The county magistrate became angry and put them in prison, trying to kill them. When people heard this, they begged the county magistrate. Just then, two girls turned into two white dragons, flew into the sky from the window and drove away with two colorful clouds. To thank the two fairies for their kindness, people built a temple by the river to worship them. Since then, Cai Jiazhuang has been changed into a fairy temple.
