Zhangjiajie was not called Zhangjiajie earlier, but was called Qingyan Mountain. At that time, there was no family named Zhang on Qingyan Mountain. Why was it later called Zhangjiajie Zhangjiajie Scenery? This matter must start with Zhang Liang, the Marquis of Han Dynasty! According to legend, after Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, brought peace to the world, he killed the heroes indiscriminately. Zhang Liang, the Marquis of Liu, thought of what Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin, said before his death: "The cunning rabbit dies and the lackeys cook it; the birds are gone and the good bow is hidden; the enemy country is destroyed and the advisers perish." He couldn't help but shuddered a few times and wanted to follow the example of Fan Li of the Yue Kingdom. , hiding in the world. But where to go? Entering the Yangtze River and Huaihe River is the hinterland of the Liu family; when the country is sealed in Liu County, there will be no long-term peace; the Qinling Mountains and Bashan are full of tigers and leopards, which is not a place to maintain health and prolong life; the northwest is harassed by the Xiongnu... After much thought, he can only go to the south. Go find Immortal Chisongzi! In the past, Qu Yuan, the official of Sanlu, was released. He traveled to Jingzhou and Wuling, and left many poems about famous mountains in the Yuan and Li rivers: "There are orchids in the Yuan River, and there are orchids in the Li River. I miss the master but I dare not speak." "Tianmen! I ride on the mysterious clouds"... He thought that there must be a fairyland on earth and there would be more fun to maintain health, so he followed the footsteps of Chisongzi and went up to Tianmen Mountain. After that, I climbed up Qingyan Mountain again. There is a unique world here, which is exactly what Zhang Liang is looking for. 'Wonderland outside the world'! From then on, he lived in seclusion here, practiced Taoism, and left a descendant of the Zhang family. It is said that Zhang Liang planted seven trees on the south side of Qingyan Mountain in order to make the Qingyan landscape more beautiful. Ginkgo trees. These seven ginkgo trees grew tall and big, like seven giant umbrellas, propped up halfway up the mountain. One day many years later, a court official named Zhang Wanchong put on a long mandarin coat and rode on an eight-foot-long carriage. When he saw the seven ginkgo trees standing there like giants, he wanted to use these seven trees as a boundary to separate the magical part of Qingyan Mountain. So he hired a carver to carve a large character on each tree. The carver carved and carved for seventy-seven and forty-nine days. Only seven characters were carved: "Commander Zhang Wanchongjie." After the words were carved, Zhang Wanchong tilted his head and looked at it again and again. He read and smiled: "Hey, this is good, forever. All mine! "At that moment, he posted a notice as big as the door board, stipulating that seven ginkgo trees would be used as the boundary, with a radius of fifty miles, from Luogutai to Huangshizhai, from Chaotianguan to Zhimatai, all traffic was prohibited, and violators would be beheaded. The village will be All the Zhang family members in the world were driven away. His Zhang Wanchong lineage wanted to thrive in this blessed land of the Fairy Mountain! His ban caused the surrounding people to take detours even to collect firewood and graze, causing the Zhang family members to take their children with them. , displaced. One day, hunter Zhang Jiaxiong went into the mountains to chase tigers and happened to pass by seven ginkgo trees. He saw yellow water flowing on each tree, like a tearful person.
The scenery of Zhangjiajie at first. He was surprised and didn't know why the ginkgo tree shed tears. Later, he saw the seven characters "Commander Zhang Wanchongjie" and suddenly realized it. He suddenly became furious, suddenly pulled out the hunting knife, "chacha" several times, and cut " The word "Wanchong" was changed to "Jiaxiong". With a few more "chacha" cuts, the notice board was chopped into pieces! Zhang Jiaxiong's move was no small matter. People inside and outside the village applauded in unison, except Zhang Wanchong. He was furious and furious. He mobilized 300 soldiers and surrounded the Qingyan Mountain area. He searched the mountain in all directions. If he couldn't catch Zhang Jiaxiong, he took out his anger on the villagers. At the critical moment, I saw a flash of light on the tree, the leaves spitting clouds, the branches hissed, and seven barrels of yellow water suddenly spurted out from the trunk, heading straight towards the tree. Zhang Wanchong's men and horses came shooting! In an instant, the huge waves overwhelmed the sky and swept Zhang Wanchong's three hundred soldiers and horses into the Golden Whip River! Seeing this formation, the villagers were so frightened that they kowtowed to the ginkgo trees. , calling to heaven and earth for blessing. At this time, someone suddenly heard a voice above the clouds: "Listen, villagers: This place was created by heaven and earth, and how can it allow an unfilial descendant like Zhang Wanchong to run amok! My god has ordered the Immortal Baiguo to bury him under the sea. This place is now owned by the Zhang family and will live on forever! "After that, he pointed the whisk at the seven ginkgo trees, and saw seven golden characters "Zhangjiajie, a Wonderland on Earth" immediately appearing on the seven ginkgo trees. Everyone looked up and saw that the immortal looked like a scholar. He looked like a man with a high bun on his head, wearing linen clothes, a crane beard and a childish face, and he had an air of immortality. There were a few knowledgeable elders in the crowd who were shocked when they saw him and said, "That's not like traveling with the Great Immortal Chisongzi in Tianmen." The father-in-law of Qingyan Mountain? "After hearing this, everyone hurriedly fell to the ground to worship.
The immortal flicked his sleeves, smiled and disappeared into the vast sea of ??clouds, and floated away in the direction of Huangshi Village. Because it was named by Immortal Zhang Liang, people called Qingyan Mountain "Zhangjiajie" from then on.
