Fortune telling in Shatian, Hezhou

There is also a touching love story about the construction of Huilan and Qinglong Yufeng Bridge-

According to legend, in the Ming Dynasty, this woman with both talents and looks was named He. She was handsome, imposing, talented and knowledgeable. This woman's name is Pan Lanzhi. She looks like a woman who is ashamed of flowers, but she is gentle, kind and sensible. One year, the young couple met when they were rushing to the temple fair. They fell in love at first sight, adored each other, and their private lives were disorderly. However, according to the local customs at that time, Yao and Han could not get married, and a pair of lovers could only meet secretly and associate privately. A few years later, He went to Beijing to catch the exam and became an official in Beijing as a top student in high school. At that time, Pan was also chosen as the princess of the palace. Although they are all in Beijing, the palace giants are as deep as the sea and it is difficult to meet each other.

Many years later, Pan was getting older, and the emperor, who liked the new and hated the old, saw that her color was declining and her art was declining, so he put her back in her place. After returning to Yaoxiang, Lan Zhi was unhappy and in a trance all day. One day, I met a fortune teller and asked him to help him calculate a divination. The fortune-teller pinched his finger and said, "The first half of the empress is rich, and the second half is unpredictable. As the saying goes, the blessing lies in adversity and the disaster lies in it. " Lan Zhi asked in surprise, "What should I do?" The fortune teller said, "It doesn't matter. As long as the empress builds more roads and bridges and does more good deeds, she can not only avoid evil spirits, but also become an immortal. " Lan Zhi listened to the fortune teller, took out his savings and built a storm bridge on the Huangsha River.

Because he still misses his sweetheart He, he named this bridge Qinglong Bridge (after he became an official in Beijing, the locals said he was reborn as a dragon). A few years later, he went back to his hometown to visit his relatives. By this time, Pan had passed away.

It is said that she was obsessed with her sweetheart before she died. Hearing the bad news, He Shuting was heartbroken. He was very moved when he saw Pan build the Qinglong Bridge named after him. He also invited skilled craftsmen to build a wind and rain bridge on the Huangsha River not far from Qinglong Bridge. These two bridges are far apart, so some people call them "Yuanyang Bridge" today. Brilliant He skillfully chose the word "Cymbidium" in Han Yu's "Hundreds of Jiang Xiangdong Flows, Tides Rise and Fall" as the name of the bridge, which not only enriched the bridge with cultural connotation, but also expressed his homesickness for his sweetheart through the homonym of "Cymbidium" and "Cymbidium".

Now, you set foot on two wind and rain bridges in fuchuan county, Hezhou City, listening to the flowing water under the bridges, like a song, like a complaint, like a complaint, as if singing a love song of "I would like to be a lovebird in the sky, and I would like to live together on the ground, with two branches in one tree". ...

Exquisite structure, beautiful legends and beautiful scenery make Fuchuan Yufeng Bridge a fascinating place.
