The legend of He Xiangu is widely circulated in the south.

He Xiangu, whose real name is He Xiugu, is from Xingui Township, Xiao Lou District, Zengcheng County, Guangzhou. Wu Zetian was born on the seventh day of March in the Tang Dynasty. She is the daughter of He Tai who makes tofu in Zengcheng County. At the age of thirteen, she went into the mountains to collect tea and met a Taoist priest. The Taoist gave her a peach, and she was never hungry or thirsty again. She learned the truth of the world. Later, she became a fairy in the daytime between Tang Zhongzong and the Year of the Dragon (707-7 10).

Eat mica to become immortal

He Xiangu, whose real name is He Xiugu, was born on the seventh day of March in the Tianxiali calendar of the Tang Dynasty. She is the daughter of He Tai, a tofu merchant in Xingui Township, Xiao Lou District, Zengcheng County, Guangzhou. Xiugu was very smart since she was a child. She was lucky enough to come to Lv Dongbin when she was fourteen. Lu gave her some mica films, through which she could know the fate of the world and often visited the immortals in Luofu Mountain. After her parents found a husband's family named Feng for her, Xiugu refused to marry. On the eighth day of August in Zhongzong Jinglong, she threw herself into the well. Only one shoe was worn when throwing the well, and the other shoe was left on the well platform. After that, she floated out of the river in Putian, Fujian. It turns out that this well is connected with this river. At that time, it was passed down as a strange case, so there was a legend that Xiugu had become an immortal.

Xiangu appeared in the small building in her hometown during the Dai Zong calendar year (766-779). She was seen enjoying the cool under a litchi tree in saionji, and a green silk belt was hung on the tree. Now this place is called "Hanging Green Garden", and the fruit of this litchi has a green ribbon, which is the famous "Hanging Green Litchi" in Zengcheng. This kind of strange tree was recorded in Qu Dajun's Guangdong New Talk and Zengcheng County Records in Qing Dynasty. Later, people built a He Xiangu Temple in Xiaolou, which still exists today. There is a couplet on the gate: "A Millennium single crystal, a hundred generations worship the ancient temple."

Picking bayberry in Luofushan

He Erniang, a shoemaker in Guangzhou, suddenly went to Luofushan Temple at the age of 20 and often picked bayberries for the temple. But there are no arbutus in Luofu Mountain, so monks don't know where these arbutus come from. Four hundred miles north of Luofu Mountain, there is Zhou Xun Mountain Temple, in front of which there are Myrica rubra trees, surrounded by a large number of ten trees. Once, a monk from Zhou Xun Temple came to Luofu Mountain and said that one day a fairy came to their temple to pick plums. When the monk heard this, it was the day when He Erniang picked plums and fasted, and everyone knew that she was a "fairy". During the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty (7 13-74 1), Huangmenshi was ordered to visit He Erniang in Guangzhou, but suddenly disappeared on the way to Beijing with Huangmenshi, and he has been in into thin air since then. Later, some scholars speculated that He Erniang was He Xiangu of Zengcheng.
