Lashan was originally named Lashan. Legend has it that a long time ago, a god cow did not know the fairy's will and pulled a mountain to reclaim land. Walking, walking, came to the west bank of Dongping Lake, where this magical cow stopped to rest, perhaps because the vast expanse of Dongping Lake is the sea, or perhaps because it took a fancy to this geomantic treasure. Wake up at five and turn around. I saw that the mountain I pulled was as heavy as Mount Tai. How can I pull it? I'm surprised and lying here, but I'm not moving now. Cattle form the Woniu Mountain, and the pulled mountain is called Lashan. Later, because the Eight Immortals crossed the sea to rest here, Bi Xia Yuan Jun built a palace here, also known as Juxian Mountain. In the Yuan Dynasty, Lashan became an important Taoist resort because Qiu Chuji practiced here. Qiu Chuji led his disciples to hold a meditation ceremony in the twelfth lunar month. During the celebration, he changed his name to Lashan. In order to show his disciples, we don't forget to hold amenorrhea ceremonies every twelfth lunar month. In the fifty years of Kangxi, Lashan was named "Little Dai Feng" by the Qing Emperor because of its natural and cultural landscape, as well as its strangeness, precipitousness and seclusion. In other words, Lashan can be compared with Mount Tai, and its reputation as "Little Dai Feng" comes from this.

Legend of tiger cave
Tiger Cave is a major landscape in Lashan National Forest Park. During the Northern Song Dynasty, Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan were arrested by the government for beating fishermen. With the help of the tiger, they escaped in the cave and later became the leader of the water army in Water Margin 108. Nowadays, in order to follow the footsteps of heroes, tourists have to stroll into caves. The relief of Ruan Sanyingxiong on the wall and the lifelike stone carving of crouching tiger attracted me, and I couldn't help asking, where is the real tiger? There is a beautiful legend:
Legend has it that a cow fed by a farmer at the foot of Lashan gave birth to a calf. This newborn calf was found by the tiger when he was grazing on the mountain. Seeing that the calf was not afraid of it, the tiger stepped forward and asked, "I am the king of beasts." Why are you not afraid of me? " The calf swaggered and said, "Words are as powerful as cows. What are you afraid of? " . The tiger is very angry and wants to eat it. Not only invincible, but also unable to fill his stomach, so he let the calf go.
A year later, the calf grew into a big yak, but it was not so easy for the tiger to eat it, so they fought with each other every evening until dark. The farmer found that the calf came home late every day. Every time he comes home, he is covered in sweat and sometimes has some scars. He began to doubt. On this day, he secretly followed the calf up the hill. When the sun was about to set, he found the tiger coming out of the hole and fighting with the calf in the ravine.
A battle between the tiger and the cow made the farmer tremble with fear and gave him a plan. The next day, he stabbed two sharp knives in his calf. When the calf fights with the tiger, it is easy to stab the tiger to death. Who knows, there is still a tiger in this den. They were once a couple. Although the tiger felt sorry for the death of his companion in the tiger-ox war, he could not help feeling a little scared. So, on a dark night, he left the cave where he had lived for many years and fled to Jingyanggang, 30 miles away from here, where he committed atrocities and ate passers-by, and was later killed by Song Wu.
Lu's elimination of violence and disease
Northbound from Lashan, there is Liugong Mountain, with lush pines and cypresses, and the ancient temple is brightly lit. It is the northern pass of Liangshan in Shui Bo, and there is a towering temple called Jianfu Temple. There is a monk in Jianfu Temple, whose dharma number is Tong Yuan. He has more than 100 disciples, and his qigong skills are superb. He is invulnerable, endangering the lives of Fiona Fang people. When monk Lu heard about it, he dragged his mord and knocked on the gate of the temple. Said, "Get all the bald donkeys out, and Cudgel a person to let you fight. We have made a promise. Anyone who sees blood on his body must kneel down and learn from the teacher. " Monk Tong Yuan replied, "I think I'm invulnerable and I'm not afraid of you." Then he called on his disciples to come to Lu Shenzhi. What a monk, dancing like a mord, no one can enter. He shouted "Look" at the flying stick that poked at a young monk's stomach. The young monk was stunned by the thunderous roar, but he was lucky. When he saw a cut on his skin, his blood immediately splashed. When Tong Yuan saw it, he immediately led ordinary people to kneel on the ground. From then on, he followed the north gate guarding Liangshan.
Dongping Caizi Gong Liu Guanqiaodui Miaolian
The peasant uprising chose Lashan as the base to compete with the government troops, and it is this treasure land of geomantic omen that Taoism and Buddhism are rare, and even literati are attracted by this scenic treasure land. They gathered in Lashan to write poems and discuss knowledge. Today, many poems and songs are engraved on stone tablets and circulated among the people. The most representative is Liu, a great scholar in tung ping chau in Qing Dynasty. During his lecture in Moxiang Temple, he left many famous works. He is not only knowledgeable, but also has many children. In particular, when he was an official in Jiangnan, his beautiful couplet quips once shocked the literary world at that time. The story goes like this: Liu Chu entered Jiangnan, and local talents wanted to try his talents, which also showed the talents of Jiangnan talents. When he went out, he asked Liu to react. A gifted scholar went out and made the first couplet: he sat facing south and ate watermelon and put it in the east, while Gong Liu wanted to read from top to bottom and from left to right. Another gifted scholar was amazed and made a couplet: Before spring, there was a yuhua flower that opened early, and Liu immediately responded without thinking: After autumn, there are no leaves like you. Although the talented people in the south of the Yangtze River clap their hands and say "absolutely", they are still unwilling to bow to the wind. They say that there are many mountains and waters in the south of the Yangtze River and many talented people. After a little thinking, Liu put forward that quip: One mountain, one water and one saint in the north of the Yangtze River impressed all the talented people in the south of the Yangtze River.
Legend of Qiu Chuji
Qiu Chuji was born at the gate of Shaanxi Province, and his family was poor. He crossed the Weihe River for several years. In the meantime, blisters on feet and legs are boils and pustules, and old people, children and poor people never pay for crossing the river. But for other passers-by, they just want to fill their stomachs and never pay more. All passers-by in the world were moved and amazed by Qiu Chuji's kindness. At the same time, it also touched the emperor of heaven. One day, Venus Taibai became a poor man with a knife in one hand and a red package in the other. Qiu Chuji carried him across the river and sent him to throw the red parcel on the ground. He said maliciously, "Look, unruly people, when crossing the river just now, there were obviously two heads. Why is there only one left? Go back and touch that for me, or your head will be cut off for a job. " Qiu Chuji thought that his head would be washed away by the rushing water, so he replied, "Please cut off my head for a job." . As soon as the voice fell, the messenger immediately turned into his true face, entrusted him with a few words, stuffed a book in his arms at the beginning of autumn, and then turned into a wisp of Qingyun. From then on, Qiu Chuji embarked on the road of monasticism, studied under Wang Zhongyang, and later became the ancestor of the Dragon Sect of Quanzhen Sect.
The legend of drinking Longquan
Drinking Longquan is located in Qinglongguan Scenic Area, next to Ma Paoquan. Legend has it that after Laozi, the originator of Taoism, was born, nine dragons sucked water from the divine spring, sprayed it on their bodies, and then entered the Yaochi. After I was washed by the divine water, I immediately took a few steps and gave birth to nine lotus flowers, which became nine lotus mountains in the north of Kunshan. Drinking Longquan is full of water veins, and the waterfall flows like thunder. Tourists walk into the gate of Yueyan Temple, the sound of water is like rumbling spring thunder, and the valley should swing with pine and cypress. When you look at the mountain spring, you can see the smoke curling up on the cliff, and the silver flowers are all white, which is also called "Moon Rock Waterfall Snow" with the beautiful scenery of Lashan.
The legend of Yu Lujing
The well is located in the south of Sanqing Palace in Xianglongguan, next to Longwangge, with a depth of tens of meters, a trickle and a sparkling water. The trickle leads to the Dragon Palace all year round, and the clear waves reflect the sweet and clear sun and moon. It can be described as "going to Dai Feng, visiting Lashan and making a fortune". According to legend, Zou Longjiang, who once became a monk here, once lived in the south of the Yangtze River, bought wood from silver coins, put it into the Yangtze River, and then emerged from the Yulu well to build a Taoist temple. This wonderful legend has been passed down to this day. Because of this magical legend, all visitors will taste the magical taste of the well water in Yulu, and binge drink it to show that Yulu is nourishing, healthy and refreshing. It is precisely because of the magic of the well that Qiu Chuji, who practiced here, became the ancestor of Quanzhen Dragon School, and Zou Longjiang and Yang became immortals here.
