◆ Xiangcheng of Songshan Lake
As early as more than 400 years ago in the Ming Dynasty, Guangdong's commodity economy had a considerable scale, forming four famous cities: incense market, medicine market, flower market and pearl market, among which the incense market selling agarwood was the most prosperous. Today, Songshan Lake area is not only the origin of fragrant wood, but also the center of fragrant city. According to historical records, Aquilaria sinensis was introduced to Guangdong in the Tang Dynasty and was widely planted in the Song Dynasty. Because it is mainly concentrated in Dongguan, it is also called Wanxiang. There is a beautiful story about Wanxiang among the local people: the girls are responsible for washing and baking Wanxiang, and they often hide the best fragrant blocks on their chests to change powder, hence the name "Daughter Xiang". After being planted, processed and packaged, Vientiane was picked by manpower to Hong Kong and then transported to Southeast Asia, hence the name Hong Kong.
Incense has a very special position in the history of the Chinese nation. Incense is a tool for people to pray and sacrifice. Incense is a magic weapon for people to ward off evil spirits and diseases. The constant incense continues the self-improvement of China people, and the curled cigarettes tell the endless life of Chinese civilization.
◆ The story of the champion pen
There is a pillar standing like a giant pen in Songshan Lake. According to legend, Lai Buyi, a famous geomancer in the early Ming Dynasty, followed Long Mai all the way to this place and saw a mountain like a golden hairpin, like a relic of the Seven Fairies. Next to the Niumian Stone, it is the incarnation of the god cow, guarding the immortal relics here. Lai Buyi didn't dare to reveal the secret, so he inserted the brush in his hand into the ground with a copper sleeve, which means it is a treasure house of a champion. The local people call this pillar "the top pen". According to historical records, the ancestral grave was buried in the Qi family of Lichuan, the top scholar, and later generations worked hard. He went to Qishun for learning and chose the first place, but he broke the taboo, missed the first place and was awarded the second place. Later, he went to Korea and achieved success. Nowadays, the champion pen forms a scenic spot with Jinchailing and Niumian Stone, and it has also become a living teaching material for local people to inspire their children and grandchildren to study angrily.
