White Snake and Xu Xian
In the year of Legend of the White Snake, one of the four classical legends in China, Xu Xian and the White Snake Empress met here and returned to the city in the same boat. After that, they met here again, made up, and performed "Meet at the Broken Bridge", which is a passbook drama with a variety of operas as its repertoire.
The Legend of the White Snake is mature and popular in Qing Dynasty, and it is a model of China's folk collective creation. This paper describes the tortuous love story between a snake spirit who has been cultivated into a human form and a person.
There are stories about borrowing an umbrella from a boat, the white lady stealing Ganoderma lucidum and fairy grass, flooding over Jinshan, Broken Bridge, Leifeng Tower, Shilin Sacrifice Tower, the son of Xu Xian, and Fahai escaping from the crab's stomach to escape death.
Xia Wei
There is a place called Wei in Sandun. Some people here think that dragons are not right, they should be cages, saying that only lobsters have no shrimp dragons.
Shrimp cages are bamboo cages for catching river shrimps. Every family in this area used to weave shrimp cages. Actually, both names are correct. What the hell is going on?
Legend has it that Zhu Yuanzhang went down to the south of the Yangtze River and one day went to Weilong Village under Sandun. Counselor Liu Bowen looked around and couldn't help admiring: "What a beautiful land!" But after learning that the name of this village is Xialongwei, I am worried that the people still have to appease, but there will be thieves. Zhu Yuanzhang ordered a river to be dug in the village, nominally to eliminate the flood, that is, to cut off Wang lung's back road. He also ordered the construction of two stone bridges on the east and west sides of Jiangdun, two miles from the village. One in the west is called Wenxing Bridge, and the other in the east is called Wuxing Bridge, so as to completely cut off Feng Shui.
After the bridge was built, Liu Bowen turned pale. Shrimp dragon is shrimp dragon and lobster.
Lobsters had to swim along the river and escape, and the status of Emperor Dragon could not be maintained. So he asked the villagers to cut down the bamboo, chop it into bamboo shreds, weave it into a gourd-shaped cage, put some wheat bran in the cage as bait and try it in the river. Sure enough, all the shrimps were obediently drowned.
This time, Xia Longxu's bamboo shrimp cage became famous, so Xia Longxu had an alias called Xia Longxu.
What are the legends and stories of the West Lake?

Jinliansi
One morning in the Ming Dynasty, at the port pier next to the Hang Cheng Canal, a Taoist figure was waiting for a sedan chair to ride on the road. Just then, two bearers carried an oncoming sedan chair. Taoist-looking people waved the bearers to stop, advised them to go first, then bargained that they would not be mistreated, and then left the port.
They walked all the way through Song Yuanyuan, the flower dock of Xixi, the two wooden docks of East and West, and the Daling of Shili Hengshan. After a rest, the bearers continued on their way, pointing to the mountain road on the right for the bearers to carry up. The bearers walked on the steep mountain road for nearly two hours, but they carried it easily, just like walking on the ground. In this way, it was carried to the top of the mountain and stopped in front of a temple. The Taoist priest entered the temple.
After a long absence, they went into the house and asked for money. Strangely, there is no one in the temple, but there is a god sitting in front of the hall, holding a sword and commanding. The two bearers had to admit their bad luck and leave the temple to prepare to go down the mountain. Just as they walked to the front of the sedan chair, they saw two red envelopes on the sedan chair and found that the money inside was much more than they expected 10 times.
In addition, this temple is Zhenwu Temple, and the statue in the temple is Zhenwu Sheng Di. This time, Bodhisattva Sheng Di turned into a mortal and went home from Wudang Mountain. It is widely rumored among the people that the Holy Emperor and Bodhisattva are effective and responsive, so there are many pilgrims in old Jiao Shan. Later, a group of believers were afraid that the mountain road was far from convenient to worship and planned to invite the holy emperor and bodhisattva to worship.
According to legend, when Emperor Qianlong went down to the south of the Yangtze River, he came to the foot of Shifeng Mountain in Longjing, Hangzhou, to watch the villagers picking tea to show their appreciation of the people's feelings.
On this day, Emperor Qianlong saw several rural women picking tea in front of a dozen shady tea stalls. She was very happy and learned to pick it up. Just picked one, suddenly the eunuch came to report that the queen mother was ill and asked the emperor to hurry back to Beijing.
When Emperor Long heard that Empress Dowager Cixi was ill, he put a handful of tea leaves in a bag and drove back to Beijing day and night. In fact, the queen mother ate too much delicacies and got angry. Her eyes are red and swollen, and her stomach is uncomfortable. It's nothing serious. When the emperor came, he felt a faint scent and asked what good things he had brought.
The emperor also wondered where this fragrance came from. He touched it casually. Ah, it turned out to be a handful of tea from Shifeng Mountain in Hangzhou. It has dried up in a few days, and the rich aroma is coming out.
The queen mother wants to taste this tea. The maid-in-waiting made tea and gave it to the queen mother. It smells really good. The queen mother took a sip and her eyes felt much more comfortable. After drinking tea, the swelling disappeared and my stomach didn't swell.
The queen mother said happily that Hangzhou Longjing tea is a panacea. Emperor Long was so happy to see the Empress Dowager, and immediately ordered the eighteen tea trees in front of Gong Hu Temple at the foot of Shifeng Mountain in Longjing, Hangzhou to be named Imperial Tea, and the Empress Dowager picked new tea for tribute every year.
Up to now, these eighteen kinds of imperial teas are still preserved in front of Gong Hu Temple in Longjing Village, Hangzhou, and many tourists come to Hangzhou to visit and take photos as a souvenir. The beauty of tea lies in Longjing, especially West Lake Longjing tea. The legend of West Lake Longjing is also very beautiful. In the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Qianlong visited the south six times and went to Longjing tea area four times to watch tea farmers picking tea.
Legend has it that the longevity king who loves tea once picked tea himself. He put some tea buds picked in the old Longjing Temple of Gong Hu Temple in a book and brought them back to Beijing for the Queen Mother to watch.
The queen mother likes the tea buds flattened by the book holder and ordered such tribute tea. Since then, Longjing Tea has maintained a unique bookmark shape. Today, when you travel to Hangzhou, you can also see 18 old tea trees growing outside Gong Hu Temple, which were picked by Emperor Qianlong and presented as royal tea.

At this time, Baoren was the No.1 in the capital and was ordered to be the secretariat of Sliding State. When he took office, he stopped
Later, many literati and poets who came to Qiantang volunteered to visit Su Xiaoxiao's tomb, so the local people built Cai Ting in front of her tomb to provide shelter for those who came to pay their respects.
