Anqi ascends to Baiyun Mountain. Baiyun Mountain is a famous mountain in Guangzhou, covering an area of ??28 square kilometers. The highest peak is Mount Mosing Ridge, with an altitude of 382 meters.
If the mountain is not high, it will be famous if there are immortals.
Here there are green peaks, crisscrossing streams and beautiful rock ravines.
When the wind and rain change, looking at the top of the mountain from a distance, white clouds are lingering, and the green mountains are shrouded in the vast sea of ??clouds. E'e Yun Mountain is covered in silver, hence the name Baiyun Mountain.
The history of this famous mountain in southern Guangdong is connected with the myth of An Qisheng.
In 214 BC, after Qin unified Lingnan, he appointed Ren Xiao as the captain of Nanhai County.
Ren Xiao built Panyu City (today's Guangzhou City) at the foot of Baiyun Mountain.
Legend has it that at that time there was an alchemist named Zheng Anqi (also known as An Qisheng) who came to southern Guangdong from the coast of the East China Sea.
He saw that many soldiers who went south and people from the state who lived in Panyu City were either unaccustomed to the soil or suffering from diseases due to the poor living environment, so they lived in Baiyun Mountain under thatched grass and collected unsatisfactory food. There are few herbal medicines to treat common people's illnesses.
According to legend, Jiulong Spring is the place where Anqi met Jiutongzi (the incarnation of Jiulong) and the spring gushed out, and Baiyun Cave is his former residence.
On the 25th day of the seventh lunar month, in order to save the patients in the city, he went to the stream of Baiyun Mountain to pick a precious herbal medicine - Jiujie Caopu.
He crossed the rock and waded into the water and came to Yunyan.
After many searches, he finally found a section of nine-section calamus on the cliff.
He was climbing on the vines and reached out to pick the nine calamus. Suddenly, the wild vines broke and he fell down the rock.
Just as he was about to fall into the bottomless abyss, a white cloud suddenly rose from under the cliff, turned into a crane, and slowly ascended to the sky, carrying Zheng Anqi on his back.
Later, in order to commemorate An Qisheng, Yunyan Temple was built on the mountain, with the "Anqi Feixian Terrace" and a nearby large rock that was abrupt in the sky was called the "Heshu Terrace".
Every year on the 25th day of the seventh lunar month, Guangzhou citizens come to Yunyan Temple to worship An Qisheng, who dedicated his life to benefiting all living beings. Absolutely".
The literati and poets of the past dynasties also left many cliff carvings here.
The temple was destroyed by the Japanese invaders during the Anti-Japanese War, but the ruins and cliffs are still there, right next to the stone archway of the first southern peak today.
