First, according to legend, bamboo is just a pet of the Heavenly Palace, named Xianzhu, which grows in the imperial garden of the Empress Dowager, and is taken good care of by ladies-in-waiting Zhao Xia and Xia Zi, and the Empress Dowager dotes on Xianzhu. One day, the Queen Mother was in a particularly good mood and wanted to be humiliated. On a whim, Xia Zi was sent to float down with the seeds of Zhu Xian, and came to the upper reaches of the green thunder water in Xiushan. He planted bamboo seeds and watered Lu Xian. In a blink of an eye, the hillside was covered with green bamboo. It is said that the Xia Zi Temple hidden under the Lion Ridge in Zhuhai is closely related to this beautiful legend. This is just a statement. Whether true or not, legends are always beautiful and moving. Second, according to legend, after our ancestor Yan Di Shennong created Lei on the Leishui River, he continued to return to Leishui and found several bamboo poles on the river bank, which were handsome and tall, and he loved them very much, so he taught people to plant them. Since then, they have continued to multiply, and bamboo has grown wildly in this magical land, stretching for dozens of miles, with green peaks and green waves. In order to remember the kindness of Shennong, in the vast sea of bamboo, the locals also built many Shennong temples.
Thirdly, it is said that after Cai Lun invented papermaking, he came to this magical place to teach people how to make paper, which injected aura into this bamboo forest, and the bamboos all over the mountain flourished from then on. This is the origin of Cai Lun Bamboo Sea. The fourth legend is more fascinating and full of magical colors. Cai Lun bamboo sea is the best in the world, with infinite charm. In this boundless bamboo sea, there are many scenic spots named after cows, such as Bison Pond, Niulousao, Bainiuling, Niuguniu, etc ... Why are these places related to cows? This has to start from the end of Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of Ming Dynasty. According to legend, at that time, the war continued, the people were miserable, and even the heaven was restless. The original breeding ground of the Jade Emperor's nine-headed Taurus was completely burned down by the war, so the Jade Emperor had to hand over this breeding task to the land god, and let the land god find a quiet place to raise the nine-headed Taurus. The earth god took the nine cows to Tianmen Xianao in Yansha, Leiyang. The scenery there is beautiful and there are few people. It's really a good place. Nine Taurus have settled here. I didn't expect heaven to be worse than humanity. I don't know who let the cat out of the bag, but people know where Taurus is hiding, so some bold speculators come here to look for gold. It is said that someone dug the hoof of a Taurus and became a rich man. As soon as the news spread, more and more people were looking for gold, and gradually there was a village here. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. At that time, Ming Chengzu had a little girl who was very ugly. The people in the gold rush village were bored and made up a folk song to make fun of the ugly princess. Who knows, this song was rumoured to the ears of the local county magistrate, who was worried that he had no political achievements, so he wrote to Emperor Hong and reported this heinous thing. Emperor Hongwu was so angry that he ordered the destruction of the village and sent many officers and men to surround it. At that time, all the men, women and children in the village could not escape this bad luck, and Tianmen Fairy was also covered with corpses and rivers of blood. Taurus can't stay in this place any longer! The earth god had to rush the nine cows to change places again and return to Leishui. Today, when he crossed the river at Longdukou, a beach on the other side of Shangbao Street and Zhushan Bay, it was too late, and the ferry was no longer crossing. The landlord had to take the boatman out of the house and beg him to help him cross the river again. Seeing an old man driving nine cows, the boatman said angrily, "If you want to cross the river, you have to pay more!" " The landlord smiled and said, "No problem, as long as you cross the river, I will give you three taels of San Qian silver, but I can't give you money unless you can cross my lame cow across the river!" " ! "The boatman was overjoyed. Three taels of San Qian silver is his salary for one month. After some efforts, the last lame cow was finally crossed to the other side of the river. The boatman asked the landowner for money. Only cows pulled a pile of cow dung in the cabin, and nine cows and the old man disappeared. This made the boatman very angry, but he didn't expect to make any money after a busy night, and there was a pile of cow dung in the cabin. In a rage, he picked up the oar, climbed the pile of cow dung and threw it into the river. When he saw that it was getting late, he fell asleep. When I got up in the morning and walked through the hut, it was shiny. At first glance, it turned out to be gold. I put it away, but it's only three taels of San Qian. This regret, if I had known that I met a fairy, I should not have dragged that pile of cow dung into the river! In addition, after Tugong crossed the river, he drove nine Taurus into the mountain from Zhushan Bay and came to Cai Lun, the core scenic spot of Zhushan. Xia Zi's family rushed into the mountain here and arrived at the pavilion in Mengzi 'ao, leaving footprints and stories of cows all the way. It also brought a lot of treasures to the local area. There are more than a dozen proven mineral resources here, such as white marble, kaolin, tantalum-niobium, uranium, iron, manganese, porcelain clay, tungsten, sulfur and pyrite. In order to protect these treasures, the landlord also pulled out a lot of cow hair and scattered it here, covering more than 50 thousand mu of bamboo forests we saw today, and together they became a lush bamboo sea!
