The Regional Culture of Jinyun Mountain

There are many legends about the origin of the name of Jinyun Mountain.

According to legend, when the Yellow Emperor lived here, descendants of Jinyun lived here, so it was called Jinyun Mountain. According to the county records, the Houmiao monument in Song Lingcheng is a cloud; Legend has it that this mountain was named after a scholar named Jinyun in the Yellow Emperor called it chaos before Yu bid farewell to Kyushu, and eight scholars voted for Ba (Sect) to resist evil spirits.

The second is named after Jinyun Temple. According to the Records of Yuzhou, there are 12 places of interest in Yuzhou. Among them, Wang Erjian's poem "Clouds in Guling Mountain" has the preface: "Jiu Feng in Jinyun Mountain strives for beauty, and its color is as red as Dai. It is red. " Jinyun Mountain is full of clouds, full of weather, and the clouds often turn red like fire and colorful. The ancients regarded red more than white, hence the name Jinyun, hence the famous mountain, which is another legend.

Third, Jinyun Mountain was called Bashan in ancient times. Flowers are everywhere, and Jialing River flows below. In this area, there are two hardworking and kind clans, one is Ba and the other is Yi. They live in harmony and live by hunting and fishing. There are caves in the mountains, and hot spring water that warms people's hearts and spleen rushes out all year round. This water is said to be a crack in the Queen Mother's Yaochi, which flows from Bashan to Xianshui. People on Bashan drink this fairy water and live for a long time. After washing this fairy water, I will never be sore or sick again. Both the Ba and Yi clans are very happy. After Emperor Xuanyuan defeated Emperor Yan and unified the Central Plains, he made great contributions, became a courtier in charge of exorcising Xia Guan, and gave him a surname called Jinyun. Jinyun's family gave birth to a famous son, who has a bad temper and often does evil outside to discredit his life with charcoal. The people sued the emperor, and the emperor was furious and prepared to order the execution of tea. Jinyun's family is very scared. He remembered that Gao Xin's family also had eight undeserving sons, so he went to consult with him. They finally figured out a way to report to the emperor that there was a fairy spring in Bashan, and begged the emperor to approve their son to lead troops to Bashan to conquer the local clan and seize the fairy spring, so they could make amends. The emperor wanted immortal water, so the son of Jinyun, Cha Shuai, and Gao Xin Ba Zi were pioneers, leading tens of thousands of soldiers upstream. Burning and looting along the way, Ba and Yi fought bravely. Finally, because they were outnumbered, the nine little warriors finally retreated to Bashan by Jialing River to replenish their strength by drinking the fairy water from Bashan. They kept fighting for seven days and nights. Thousands of people were killed or injured by the attackers, and the tea was so handsome that sparks flew out of his eyes, burning all the trees in Bashan, melting the rocks and flying away the birds. Tigers were burned to death, and even the clouds over Bashan Mountain were baked deep red. When the mountain fire went out, the nine warriors turned into nine magnificent buildings. From then on, the clouds over Bashan will always flush sooner or later. In ancient times, it was called red, so people gradually called Bashan Jinyun Mountain.

Fourthly, according to local records, 4700 years ago, the ancestor of China, Huangdi Xuanyuan, made an alchemy in this mountain. When the alchemy was finished, there was a lucky cloud in the sky, and Huangdi Xuanyuan was named Jinyun, so it was named Jinyun Mountain. It is also recorded in the collection of orthodox Taoism in the Ming Dynasty, A Mirror Volume of Immortals and Taoism in Past Dynasties:' Xuanyuan Huangdi went there to make an alchemy in Jinyuntang, and when he made an alchemy underground, there were clouds that were neither red nor purple, which were called Jinyun because of its name'.
