Dragon culture

Dragon is also a totem of primitive people, an illusory creature that exists only in totems but not in creatures. The image of the dragon known today combines the characteristics of various creatures: animal legs, eagle claws, horse heads, snake bellies, antlers, shrimp eyes and fish scales. Some studies have pointed out that the image of the dragon has undergone constant development and changes. In the long historical process, through war and alliance, the people who believe in the dragon totem have gradually become leaders, and the dragon totem has gradually become the banner of the whole Chinese nation's belief. The totem image originally believed by other nationalities was gradually absorbed and enriched into the dragon image, so the dragon became more and more distinctive, and its image became increasingly complex and powerful, becoming the representative of the emperor. People also concentrated all kinds of virtues and excellent qualities on dragons. We see from many stories and legends that dragons are brave and good at fighting and are not afraid of any violence; Dragons are smart. It can even foresee the future. The dragon's ability is high, but it can be big or small and changeable. It can spread clouds and rain, thunder and lightning, talk and move mountains, and it is magical. The dragon is rich, and the Dragon Palace has become a concentrated place for treasures. Dragons are upright and considerate. In order to save the suffering of human drought, it even violated the dogma. People's good wishes are concentrated in dragons, and outstanding people in the world are often called dragons among people. Zhuge Liang's so-called Mr. Wolong is a familiar example.

The Dragon in China People's Life

Dragons are not unique to China, and many ethnic groups are related to the myths and legends of dragons. However, a country like China, which is proud of, revered and related to dragons, is unique. In China, there are thousands of places with dragon names, including figures, such as Erlong in Jilin, Sanlong in Jiangxi and Si Long in Liaoning.

The legendary dragon

The ancients regarded the dragon as a sacred and spiritual thing, which was changeable, shrinking like a silkworm ant and stretching like a sky cover. Sometimes exposed in the clouds, and sometimes hidden in the abyss. There are legends about dragons in almost every book in China's ancient classic works, and there are countless legends and myths about dragons. The Book of Changes and other classic works have made a complete and systematic exposition of the dragon and given it philosophical significance. In the eight diagrams, dragons are used to illustrate the dry divination, which is also the first divination in the Book of Changes. In addition, legends and myths of dragons have appeared in all previous dynasties, and many places named after the word "dragon" also have legends of dragons. In the era of the Yellow Emperor, there was a legend that Lapras ascended to heaven and Ying Long helped the Yellow Emperor defeat Chiyou. Yu Xia water conservancy, legend has it that a dragon draws a river with its tail to divert the flood; Liu Bang, the emperor gaozu of Han Dynasty, is said to have been born after his mother dreamed of mating with the red dragon. From many stories and legends, we can see that people tend to concentrate all kinds of virtues and excellent qualities on dragons. Legend has it that the tradition of frying corn on the second day of February every year is to commemorate Yi Long's breaking the dogma to solve the human drought. Legend has it that Yulong was imprisoned by the Jade Emperor because he couldn't bear the people to suffer from drought, and made a rule that only golden beans would be released when they were in bloom. People get together to fry corn because they appreciate Yulong's kindness. Because it looks like golden beans in full bloom, the responsible Taibai Venus made a mistake and released Yulong. The tradition of frying corn on the second day of February every year has also been preserved. Of course, there are just dragons in the legend as good, and naturally there will be evil dragons as evil. With the opening of people's wisdom and the introduction of Buddhist beliefs, the image of the dragon king has changed among the people. As one of the Taoist traditions, the dragon king has also begun to play the role of villain. In many places named after the word "dragon" in China, there are also legends of dragons, among which there are many stories of dragons raging. Just like Heilongjiang, it is said that there was a white dragon disaster before. Later, in a village by the river, a family gave birth to a black dragon. It turned out that the black dragon came to help drive away the white dragon, and the villagers supported it according to its instructions. Finally, the white dragon was removed, and people named the river Heilongjiang to commemorate the black dragon. There is a Wolong Lake in Jiuzhaigou, Sichuan, and there is a milky yellow Liang Shi at the bottom of the lake, which is said to be the embodiment of the White Dragon. There are two big rivers near Jiuzhaigou. One is called Heishui River. It is said that there used to be a big black dragon here. A white dragon lives in the Bailong River. Legend has it that the Black Dragon sucked up the water in Jiuzhaigou because he was jealous of the scenery there. When Xiaobailong knew it, he sprayed the water from Bailong River to Jiuzhaigou and restored its beauty. When the black dragon knew about it, he fought fiercely with the white dragon. When defeated, the black dragon poisoned the plan and the little white dragon was forced to flee to a lake in Jiuzhaigou. The black dragon alarmed the whereabouts of the white dragon hidden by Wanshan God, and was finally imprisoned by Wanshan God, unable to do evil again. In recognition of it, Wanshan God gave Bailong a set of golden armor, which is the origin of the legend of Wolong Lake.

Dragon is one of the four gods in ancient China mythology. There are "Dragon King Products" in Taishang Cave's Divine Mantra Classic, which lists "Five Emperors Dragon King" by orientation, "Four Seas Dragon King" by ocean, and lists the names of 54 dragon kings and 62 dragon kings by everything in the world. In Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, an altar official was set up to offer sacrifices to the Dragon King. Song Taizu followed the Five Dragon Sacrifice System in Tang Dynasty. In the second year of Song Huizong Daguan (1 108), all the five dragons in the world were crowned kings. Seal Qinglong God as King of Ren Guang, Red Dragon God as King Jiaze, Huanglong God as King Fu Ying, White Dragon God as King Yiji, and Black Dragon God as King Lingze. In the second year of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty (1863), the dragon god of the canal was named "the dragon god who should divide the water", which made the river chief sacrifice in time. The dragon kings in The Journey to the West are Ao Guang in the East China Sea, Aoqin in the South China Sea, Aorun in the West Sea and Aoshun in the North Sea, which are collectively called the Four Seas Dragon Kings. Therefore, the duty of the dragon king is to spread clouds and rain to relieve people's summer heat and troubles, and the dragon king's water control has become a common belief among the people. The "Dragon King's Product" in Taoism's "The Mantra Sutra of Taishang East Shen Yuan" says that "the land is dry, the grain is not harvested, and the time is unknown in twos and threes." At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, the Buddha came to the land by five-color clouds, and together with the Dragon King and other heavenly kings, he preached dharma to save all beings and get timely nourishment.

Blue blush should be east, white hair should be west, orange hair should be south, and black hair should be north dragon, which is not unique to China. Many ethnic groups are related to the myths and legends of dragons. China, a country that is proud of, reveres and related to dragons, is unique.

Lund, R.

Regarding the birthday of the Dragon King, there are differences between various literature records and local folklore. In the past, temples dedicated to the dragon king were almost as common as temples in the city god. Whenever the wind and rain are unbalanced, it doesn't rain for a long time, or it rains for a long time, the people will go to the Longwang Temple to burn incense and pray for the Dragon King to control the water and the good weather. Dragon is a miraculous animal in the legend of China. It is fickle, promotes sex and benefits all things. It is the first of many scales and the first of four spirits (dragon, phoenix, unicorn and turtle). There are many different images in ancient books. Speaking of slender, it has four feet, anticlimactic. Speaking of piercing scales, there are whiskers on the head and five claws. Compendium of Materia Medica says that "dragons have nine similarities", and it is a heterogeneous animal with the advantages of various animals. It has many names. Those with scales are called dragons, those with wings are called dragons, those with horns are called [multi-tower] dragons, and those without horns are called autumn.

The vernal equinox ascends to the sky, and the autumnal equinox dives into the deep, omnipotent. In mythology, it is the master of the underwater world (the Dragon King), a symbol of good fortune among the people, and the embodiment of ancient imperial power.

Edit this paragraph: the dragon emperor and the heavenly emperor

The Dragon Emperor, also known as the Emperor of Heaven and the Jade Emperor, is said to be the embodiment of the Yellow Emperor, the ancestor of the Chinese nation. This is recorded in Historical Records. In "The Closed Sutra", the Yellow Emperor and ordinary people dug copper in Shoushan, cast the mined copper into a big bronze tripod and placed it at the foot of Jingshan Mountain. When casting a bronze tripod, a dragon lowered his beard to welcome the Yellow Emperor to heaven. The Yellow Emperor rode on the dragon's back, and ministers, wives and children climbed up one after another, with more than 70 people each. At this time, the dragon ascended to heaven, and the other ministers could not squeeze in, holding the dragon's beard one by one. The dragon beard meat was broken because of its heavy weight, and the bow carried by the Yellow Emperor was also pulled down, so the courtiers had to hold the dragon beard meat and bow and wail. After the Yellow Emperor ascended to heaven, he became the Emperor of Heaven. According to historical records, Tianguan said that the Yellow Emperor was the embodiment of Huanglong. Huanglong is the dragon emperor, and the five elements belong to the earth and are in the middle. It is the dragon head and heavenly teacher in Taoist religious view. It is also mentioned in the Han dynasty classics: "Huanglong is the length of the quartet, the positive color of the quartet, and the essence of the gods. It can be huge, it can be detailed, it can be quiet, it can be bright, it can be short, it can be long, it suddenly exists, and it suddenly dies. The king has no filter when fishing. If he goes to the abyss, he should swim in the pool in harmony. " , illustrates the image of Huanglong.

Dragon girl worships Guanyin

Beside Guanyin Bodhisattva, there is a pair of men and women. The man is called Shancai and the woman is called Dragon Lady. The dragon lady was originally the little daughter of the East China Sea Dragon King. She was born with fine features and smart, and won the favor of the Dragon King. One day, she heard that there were fish lanterns in the world, and it was very lively, so she clamored to see them. The dragon king stroked his beard and shook his head. "It's deserted and crowded, but it's not where you dragon princesses go!" " The dragon girl pretends to cry, but the dragon king always refuses. Dragon girl pouted: I thought to myself, if you don't let me go, I'll leave! Finally, in the middle of the night, she slipped out of the Crystal Palace and became a very beautiful fisherman. She stepped on the moonlight of the magnum and came to a noisy place with fish lights. This is a small fishing town, and there are many fish lanterns on the street! There are yellow croaker lights, horn lights, octopus lights, cuttlefish lights, shark lights, lobster lights, sea crab lights, scallop lights, conch lights, coral lights ... Dragon girls look around, the more they look, the happier they are, and sometimes they push themselves into the crowd. Soon came to the crossroads, here is more interesting! Fish lanterns and fish lanterns are stacked, and Dengshan is connected with Dengshan, which is colorful and dazzling. Dragon lady stood in front of Dengshan like a fool and could see God. Behold, at this moment, half a cup of Leng Cha was poured from the attic and poured on the dragon lady's head impartially. The dragon lady was startled and complained bitterly. The dragon girl who becomes a girl can't touch half a drop of water. As soon as she gets wet, she can't keep the girl's appearance anymore. The dragon lady was in a hurry, fearing that there would be a dragon shape in the street, which would lead to the ruin of the Lantern Festival. She desperately squeezed the crowd and ran to the seaside. Just ran to the beach, suddenly "suddenly", the dragon girl turned into a very big fish, lying on the beach, unable to move. As it happens, two fishing boys, one thin and one fat, came to the seaside. They suddenly froze when they saw the shiny big fish. "What is this fish! How can you put it on the beach? " The fat man was timid and stood far away and said, "I have never seen this kind of fish." I'm afraid it's unlucky Go! " "The thin boy was so bold that he refused to leave. While fiddling with the fish, he said, "No matter what kind of fish it is, if you carry it to the street and sell it, you will definitely earn extra money with it?" The two men muttered for a while, and then took the fish to the streets to sell. That night, Guanyin Bodhisattva sat in the purple bamboo forest. She clearly saw what had just happened and was moved by sympathy. She said to the boy standing behind her, "Go to the fishing town to buy a big fish and send it to the sea to set it free. "Shancai bowed his head and said," Bodhisattva, how can I buy fish with money? " Guanyin Bodhisattva smiled and said, "Just grab one from the incense burner." Shan Cai nodded and said yes. He hurried to Kannonji, grabbed a handful of incense ashes, stepped on a lotus flower and went straight to the fishing town. At this time, the two boys had carried the fish into the street and were suddenly surrounded by people watching the fish lanterns. People who are amazed and amazed charge exorbitant prices, and the village is buzzing, but no one dares to buy such a big fish rashly. An old man with a white beard said, "son, this fish is too big." Why don't you chop it up and sell it in retail? "The fat boy thought the old man was right, so he borrowed a meat axe and lifted it to cut fish. Suddenly, a child cried, "See? The big fish shed tears. " When the fat man stopped the axe, he saw that the big fish really shed two strings of crystal tears. He was so scared that he threw away the meat axe and got out of the crowd. The thin man was afraid that the extra money would go to waste, so he quickly picked up the meat axe to cut it, but was stopped by a panting little novice monk: "Don't cut it! Don't cut! I bought this fish. "Everyone was surprised when they saw it." Why did little novice monk buy fish? "The old man paused, cocked his goatee and said," I'm afraid the monk is going to end the meat when he buys fish. Little novice monk blushed when he saw that everyone was laughing, and quickly said, "I bought this fish to set it free!" " With that, he took out a pinch of broken silver and handed it to the thin man, asking them to transport the fish to the seaside. The thin boy was secretly happy: "I made extra money!" " Carry it to the seaside, and maybe the little novice monk will be able to carry the big fish back when he is gone! "He told the fat man to carry the big fish and followed the little novice monk to the seaside. Three people came to the seaside, and the little novice monk told them to put the big fish into the sea. As soon as the fish touched the sea, it splashed and swam far away, then turned around, nodded to the little novice monk and suddenly disappeared. When the thin man saw the fish swim away, he broke the idea of making extra money and found out the broken money to give to the fat man. Unexpectedly, when I opened my palm, the broken silver turned into a handful of incense ashes and was blown away by a gust of wind. Looking for little novice monk in an instant, he was gone. Besides, in the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea, since the little princess disappeared, there has been a stampede outside the palace. The dragon king was so angry that the dragon beard stood up, the turtle prime minister was so anxious that his head and neck stretched out straight, the crab general who was guarding the door foamed at the mouth, and the jade shrimp maid-in-waiting knelt down and trembled with fear. It was not until dawn that the Dragon Lady returned to the Crystal Palace, and everyone was relieved. The dragon king glared at him and shouted angrily, "How dare you go out without permission! Say! Where have you been? "Seeing that the Dragon King was angry, the dragon lady knew it was useless to play the coquetry, so she told the truth:" Dad, my daughter went to see the fish lanterns. If Guanyin Bodhisattva hadn't sent a good boy to save me, my daughter would have almost died! " Then I told my story. The dragon king turned pale when he heard this. He was afraid that Guanyin would tell the story and let the jade emperor know, so he would be accused. The more he thinks about it, the angrier he gets. In a rage, he expelled her from the Crystal Palace. Dragon girl is very sad. Where can she live in the vast East China Sea? The next day, she came to Lianhuayang in tears. When the cry reached Zizhulin, Guanyin Bodhisattva knew it was the Dragon Lady, so she ordered Shancai to fetch the Dragon Lady. Shancai skipped up to the dragon girl and asked with a smile, "Sister Dragon, do you still remember that I am a little novice monk? "Dragon girl quickly wiped away her tears and blushed and said," Are you a good brother? You are my savior! "Say it will bow down. Shancai grabbed her: "Go, Guanyin Bodhisattva asked me to pick you up!" " Cunninghamia lanceolata and Dragon Girl walked into the purple bamboo forest hand in hand. As soon as the dragon lady saw Guanyin Bodhisattva sitting on the lotus platform, she bent down and bowed down. Guanyin Bodhisattva liked this dragon girl very much, and let her and Shancai live in a cave near Yin Chao Cave like brothers and sisters, which was later called Shancai Dragon Girl Cave. However, the Dragon King broke his word and often told the Dragon Lady to go back. The dragon girl is attached to the scenery of Mount Putuo and never wants to go back to the Crystal Palace where she was imprisoned. From then on, the dragon lady followed Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Cengang Bailaolong

There is a bay called cengang on the west coast of Zhoushan Island. There is a high mountain in cengang, and the landscape pours down like a hundred feet of white cloth hanging on the cliff, which is spectacular. Year after year, at the foot of the ridge, a deep stone pool named "Longtan" is washed out. According to legend, a long time ago, there was a white dragon in the pond. Whenever there is a drought, the White Dragon Angels draw water from the East China Sea and turn it into showers, which makes dozens of villages in Fiona Fang have good weather and bumper harvests every year. People remembered the white dragon and called him "Cengang White Dragon". One year, there was another drought, and Bailong was about to absorb water and rain. Unexpectedly, the Jade Emperor listened to the greedy words of the Dragon King of the East China Sea and issued a decree that he was not allowed to go to the East China Sea to absorb water again. Bai Longlong had to submit to humiliation and return to Longtan. Along the way, I was sad to see the grass withered and scorched, and there were married people everywhere. Walking, I suddenly heard crying in my ear. When I got closer, I saw a young woman dressed in linen, kneeling on the hot beach, crying in the face of the sea. Hearing this, Bai Laolong felt sad and asked, "Why is Sister-in-law crying?" When a woman wiped her tears, she saw an old man with white beard and hair and a kind face, looking at herself with concern. As soon as her heart warmed up, she began to cry. So this woman's name is Violet. Her parents died when she was a child, and her brother and sister-in-law decided to marry a lonely boy. The couple are very loving. Who knows, it won't last long. They met in this dry season less than half a year after they got married. There was no hope in the field, so the husband invited the villagers to go fishing in the sea. Unexpectedly, the first time I went out to sea, I met a disaster. The boat was overturned by the wind and waves, and my husband fell into the water and died, leaving her a young widow, helpless and miserable. Bai Laolong was very sympathetic and sighed and said, "Sister-in-law, don't be too sad. Since ancient times, people can't come back from the dead. If you don't mind, I will help you catch fish for three years. " Violet zheng, hurriedly closed tears: "this ... this how make of! As the saying goes,' there is no wind and three feet of waves at sea', how can you stand it at your age! " Bai Laolong stroked his white beard and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, the old man has his own reasons." Violet to see his sincerity, secretly whisper, "look at his appearance, he is probably a loser. Why don't I accumulate some virtue and take him in? " So he said, "I have no parents since I was a child. Let me recognize you as my father!" " "Be sure to kowtow when you say it. Bai Laolong didn't like it, so he reached out and helped her up. He smiled and said, "You're welcome, Qing Er. The old man is ashamed! "That night, Bai Laolong with starlight, began to repair the ship. Violet went home, took out a bucket of glutinous rice, and made a basket full of glutinous rice pieces according to Bai Laolong's instructions. At dawn the next day, Violet came to the seaside with a basket. She looked around, but she couldn't find the broken ship. She is in a hurry. Suddenly, she heard someone calling her. Looking intently, I saw Bai Laolong crawling out of a brand-new ship sweating profusely, only to know that his broken ship had been repaired. She was so happy and grateful that she rushed to meet him and said, "Dad, thanks! Eat quickly! "Bai Laolong ate glutinous rice, brought a few fishermen, and went out to sea to fish that day. The fishing boat left the harbor like an arrow leaving the string, and in an instant it reached the East China Sea Ocean. Bai Laolong told the fisherman to cast his net, but he dozed off on the deck with a pillow on his head. I saw him snoring like thunder, sweating profusely, and huge sweat poured out from his forehead, wetting the deck. The fisherman was surprised, but he was afraid to wake him up. After a while, the snoring stopped, and he shouted dreamily, "Get up the net! Pull up the net! " The fisherman heard the sound and ran to the boat to pull up the net. Strange to say, several people are pulling a huge fishing net, but it is as light as silk thread. Pull, pull, pull into the sea, but all of them are large yellow croaker, golden and shiny, and their tails are alive and kicking. The fisherman was very surprised and poured the yellow croaker into the cabin. Who knows, all three cabins are full, and the fish in the net have not been emptied. Fishermen, look at me, I look at you, all stunned. In the evening, the fishing boat returned home. Violet was very happy to see so many large yellow croaker caught! Everyone heard that the old man with white beard and hair was good at fishing, and they all came to beg him to be their leader. Bai Laolong smoothed his white beard and laughed, and readily agreed. From then on, the white dragon messenger led everyone to catch fish in the dark. Every time I go out to sea, I return with a full load. The fish I caught is big and fat, and the life of the villagers is getting better every day. Half a year has passed in an instant. One day, Bai Laolong led everyone out to sea again. Violet prepared glutinous rice slices that Bai Laolong loved at home, and went to the seaside to wait for the boat to come back as usual. Wait and wait until the sun goes down and the moon rises, and the fishing boat hasn't come back yet. Violet was hungry and tired, so she leaned against the rock and dozed off ... Suddenly, she saw her adoptive father coming in a hurry, full of sadness and indignation, and said to her, "Qing Er, I have to go. Take care! If you miss me, come to Cengangling to find me. There is a white cloth hanging in front of my house. "Say it, and float away." Violet to pull, but closed on empty air. I woke up suddenly, only to know that it was a dream, and I was puzzled. Suddenly, I saw the roaring wind on the sea pushing the hill-like waves in. How windy it is! Blow away all the boat piles on the shore and break the hardest rocks. Qing Lian looked at the turbulent sea stupefied, thinking of her husband's tragic experience, and suddenly turned pale and trembled, crying loudly at the vast sea and sky. Day after day, until the morning of the eighth day, the sea was calm, but the kind white dragon never came back. Violet remembered what Bai Laolong told her in her dream and decided to go to Cengangling to find her adoptive father. She made a basket of glutinous rice slices that Bai Laolong loved, bid farewell to the villagers and set off. After walking day after day, village after village, I finally came to the foot of Cengangling. When I raised my eyes, I saw a vast field. How can there be a family? I'm a little scared. I was anxious when I suddenly saw a stone pool at the foot of the ridge, with a hundred-foot waterfall hanging on it, just like a piece of white cloth floating. Violet quickly put down the basket, took out the glutinous rice slices and threw them into the pool. Throw a piece of glutinous rice to call dad. A moment of loss, a moment of calling, a wave suddenly appeared in the pool, and a pair of dragon horns slowly appeared on the water. Violet was startled, but she heard a voice in the swimming pool: "Don't be afraid, Qing Er, I am your michel platini." Violet listened and cried sadly, "Dad, how did you become like this?" "I am the white dragon here," said Bai Laolong. "I didn't expect to help the people fish this time, but also offended the Dragon King of the East China Sea. I participated in a book in front of the jade emperor, saying that I killed the aquarium and disturbed the Dragon Palace. The jade emperor punished me and banned me from this dragon pool, so I was not free. " Violet heard: I am so angry! I immediately wiped away my tears and sighed angrily: "Alas! Why do industrious people suffer instead, and good people are condemned instead? What's the point of living in such an unfair world! " After that, she poured all the glutinous rice slices into the pool and jumped in with her. Violet jumped into Longtan, turned into a dragon, and disappeared into the clear water with the white dragon. Later, in order to commemorate them, the local people set up two clubs: one called the White Dragon Club and the other called the Qinglong Club. Once every three years, once every twelve years. At the meeting, people beat gongs and drums and carried beautiful green and white dragons through the village, which was very lively.

Dragon's Reform Myth

It is said that Dayu has three magic weapons to control water: one is the river map and jade slips given to him by Fuxi; Second, Ying Long in the sky paddled the ground with his tail to guide him. Yu led the migrant workers to dig rivers and divert floods along the line with the tail. The third kind is the tortoise, which throws the remaining stones and mud into low-lying places. One day, a black dragon rolled in the flood near the dam, making waves and knocking down the dam that Dayu and others worked so hard to build. Ying Long told Yu Wang that this is a beautiful dragon of seven or eight years old, and the evil soul is too heavy to be corrected. So the tortoise took Dayu to a high mountain in a friendly way, and saw the black dragon with a dazzling white horn on its head, frolicking and churning, making waves from time to time. Dayu guided it, but it completely ignored it. Dayu then took out a small colored stone and put it on the tip of the turtle's tail. The stone immediately turned into a huge stone. With a flick of the tortoise's tail, the sky draws a hazy rainbow-like arc, and the colorful stone just falls between the two dragon horns on the top of Oolong's forehead. Oolong laughed and said, "I can't help this little flower stone. But the colorful stones have been expanding. Soon, the dragon's horns tightened and it shook its head in pain. Colorful stones kept growing and finally surrendered to the dragon. From then on, Man Long became Dayu's right-hand man, at his disposal. The Legend of Longquan Township

Longquan Township is mentioned in Chuanglong Biography as being somewhere in Qinghai Province. In fact, is there Longquan Township in Qinghai Province? As mentioned in the previous paragraph, almost every province has places named after dragons, and there are several places named after Longquan. Where is Longquan? It is generally believed that it is now Longquan County, Zhejiang Province. Before the Tang Dynasty, it was called Longquan Township, and the county was established here in the Tang Dynasty. Longquan is named after a "Longquan sword". According to Yue Jueshu, a history book of the State of Yue in the Spring and Autumn Period, the King of Chu heard that there was a general in the State of Wu and a Ou Yezi in the State of Yue, both of whom were famous swordsmen. So he sent someone to ask two famous artists to cast some iron swords for Chu with heavy money. After applying, they dug through the mountain, drained the streams in the mountain, found the essence of iron ore, and forged three swords, one called Long Yuan, one called Taiya and the other called Gongbu. Later, in order to avoid the taboo of Tang Gaozu and Tang Gaozu, Longyuanjian was renamed Longquan Sword. Longquan County, Zhejiang Province, just mentioned, has a Jianchi Lake in the south of the county seat. According to legend, it is the place where Ou Yezi made swords, also known as Long Yuan, so this place is called Longquan. But there are also several places called Longquan. In addition to Longquan County just now, there is also Longquan in Yongjia County, Zhejiang Province. According to "Notes on Water Classics", the water pattern in the spring eye has become the shape of a dragon, so livestock dare not drink water here. There is also a Longquan in Xiping County, Henan Province. Ancient books say that you can sharpen your sword this spring to make the blade strong. There is a Longquan field in Jiangxi, and Longquan County was established in the Southern Tang Dynasty, which is now called Suizhou. There is a Longquan Ping in Guizhou, which was also called Longquan County in Ming and Qing Dynasties, and later changed to Quanfeng County and Fenggang County. So, is there Longquan Township in Qinghai Province? There is nothing in the available materials. There may be a small village or town named this, but it is not clear whether it can really lead to Kunlun.
