2. Legend has it that before Liu Zongyuan went to Liuzhou, Liuzhou could not find a well, and it was extremely difficult for thousands of families and more than 10,000 people to carry opium bottles with small mouths and big bellies and go up and down the narrow cliff road to fetch water from Liujiang. After Liu Zongyuan arrived in Liuzhou, he observed people's feelings and decided to dig wells for residents to drink. He ordered his subordinate Jiang Yan to lead dozens of soldiers to dig the first well in the north of the city.
After a period of intense construction day and night, the well water was drilled to a depth of 66 feet. At this time, the people of Liuzhou came to watch this miracle. Some of these people have never seen a well until they are seventy or eighty years old. They couldn't help cheering when they drank the clear well water.
Before Liu Zongyuan dug a well, someone tried to dig it, but it all collapsed, saying that it hurt "Long Mai" and destroyed "Feng Shui". Therefore, they dare not continue to dig. Liu Zongyuan did not believe in "falsehood" and invested a lot of manpower and material resources. Finally, he succeeded in drilling a well and did a good thing to benefit the people from generation to generation. From then on, Liuzhou had a well.
There is a mountain in the north of Liuzhou called Queer Mountain. According to legend, a long time ago, there was a village under this mountain. The villagers live a happy life of men plowing and women weaving. Later, a fierce python came out of nowhere and occupied the mountain. It not only devours birds and animals on the mountain, but also often devours people and animals down the mountain. In order to avoid being hurt, people ran away from home in a hurry, and birds and animals also fled from this mountain. Only a group of little tits stayed in the mountains. They don't want to suddenly fly down from the tree and bite the python, making it fidgety.
In order to eliminate the disaster of python, one day a hunter went to the mountain with a bow and arrow to look for the trace of python. Unexpectedly, the python suddenly appeared, and the hunter shot an arrow, but missed it. When he was ready to shoot the second arrow, the python had rushed in front of him, opened its mouth and was about to swallow him. At this critical moment, a group of tits swooped down from a nearby tree and pecked at the python's eyes.
The hunters found the bodies of these little tits and buried them at the foot of the mountain with deep gratitude. Later, the villagers and the birds and animals on the mountain moved back, and the good life in the past was restored. The mountain became more and more like a titmouse. In memory of these brave tits, in memory of these brave tits, this mountain is called Queer Mountain.
