Cenxi Long Mu Temple
There are two Long Mu temples in Cenxi City: one is Long Mu Temple in Dazhu Village, which is located at the intersection of Father River and Nuodong River of Long Mu 'ang in Dazhu Village, Nuodong Town, Cenxi City. The construction date is unknown, and the site has been destroyed. On 1990, it was rebuilt and restored to its original appearance. Another Sanbao Street, located at the intersection of Nuodong River and Yichang River in Sanbao Town, was built in the 16th year of Qing Qianlong (175 1), with stone carvings and ancient ding in Daoguang and Guangxu years. These two Dragon Mother Temples were both built by private donations, and they were both small in scale, covering an area of about 500 square meters. They mainly worship the dragon mother, as well as the public and Taoism, and their religious culture is complex. Incense is constantly burning all year round, and the dragon mother's birthday is celebrated every year, which is smaller than Deqing and Wuzhou.
On the administrative map of Cenxi, the place name of "Fengmiaochong" is still clearly marked. Many locals also refer to "Fengmiaochong" as "Fengmuchong". There is no distinction between "temple" and "tomb", and "Fengmuchong" is "Fengmiaochong". According to the legend of the old people in the village, this is because Feng Jiao suddenly disappeared at the age of 17. The villagers looked everywhere, but they couldn't find Feng Jiao. Villagers found a flower shoe from Feng Jiao by the Tan Qilong River and a flower shoe from Feng Jiao by the Sanbao River. People mistakenly thought that the Dragon Mother must have drowned, so they built a mausoleum and a temple to commemorate Feng Jiao. A few years later, Feng Jiao suddenly came back, and the whole village was startled, thinking that Feng Jiao had come back like a ghost. I didn't know it was Feng Jiao "Lapras" who went to Yuecheng, Guangdong Province to visit Liang Sangong. Everyone in the village was very happy. From this analysis, the "Phoenix Temple" and "Phoenix Tomb" in the village of "Fengmiaochong" should be the earliest "tombs" and "temples" of the Dragon Mother Empress in local history. According to the investigation and demonstration, the Father River in Nuodong Town meets the Nuodong River in Nuodong Town, and the Long Mu Temple is built at the intersection. In addition, there is a Dragon Mother Temple at the intersection of Sanbao Street, Nuodong River and Yichang River, and a Dragon Mother Temple at the intersection of Yichang River and Jiangxiu River in tengxian.
