Legend of scenic spots in Yangjiang Hot Spring Resort

Yangjiang Hot Spring is located 6 kilometers northeast of Heshan Town, Yangdong County. There are more than 20 springs with water temperature above 72 degrees, and it has many medical functions. There are many legends about hot springs. Here, let's choose one-Kuzai is a famous legend in Yangjiang folk stories. According to legend, Cool Boy is Han Xiangzi, the great fairy holding a flute in The Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea. Only on that day, he occasionally traveled to the South China Sea and saw the fishermen lost their way because of the fog, so he became very patient and stole the fog for three days to save them. This angered the jade emperor and reduced him to the mortal world to suffer.

The boy was born with scabies all over his body. When I was five years old, I couldn't talk. The scabies grew more and more, and even the top of my head was covered. His parents threw him to the side of the mountain and didn't want him. On this day, a Taoist named Lin returned from fasting. He used to live in a village in the north. When he passed by, he saw Lai Zai. Seeing that he was pitiful, he took him home. Just after returning to the village entrance, Shigong saw his son running back panting and said, "Dad, it's no good, our sow is dead!" " "Hearing this, the teacher ran home like a fly. Suddenly, I heard his wife say, "Dad, why are you running?"? Our sow is not dead yet. "The teacher was shocked: How can this mute talk? When I came home, the sow was foaming at the mouth and died early. Master Gong glared at his son angrily: "Not dead? Maybe it's bad luck brought by your Sangmenxing! "He said he would drive the boy away. The sow kept silent, walked into the pigsty, patted the sow and said something. Hey, the sow just woke up and went to eat again.

Now, the teacher is surprised and happy. To my surprise, the mute spoke and the dead pig came back to life. This bastard must not be mortal. The good news is that an extraordinary son was found on the road today, and the dead sow at home has come back to life. Of course, Gong Gong didn't know that the scabbed child was born in the Eight Immortals and his name was Han Xiangzi. When the villagers saw him covered with scabies, they called him a leper.

Legend has it that this son of a bitch is really an extraordinary person. He can make carp plow the fields, let cranes transplant rice seedlings, and recite spells to cure diseases ... in short, it is amazing. When he was herding cattle, he took a flute and rode on the back of the cattle, playing the flute while herding cattle, which was leisurely. There is a pool of hot water beside the grass outside the village, which is steaming all the year round. When they reached the grassland, they drew a big circle with their flutes, and the cows ate grass in the circle and never went outside again. He jumped into the hot pool to wash his scabies, which the shepherd boy called "scabies washing pool".

One year, on the third day of the seventh lunar month, he came back with cattle. On the way, he passed a small bridge and saw a white-haired old man walking on crutches. He quickly got off the cow's back to make way. The old man smiled and said to him, "Han Xiangzi, Han Xiangzi, you shouldn't be a shepherd." He wiped his eyes and looked carefully. Knowing that the Arctic fairy had crossed over, he asked, "Fairy, when will he shed his scab and return to heaven?" The Arctic fairy said, "On the day when the stone dog vomited blood in front of the village, the fairy naturally passed you." Then he turned into smoke.

Kuaizai is very happy. When he came back, he said to his cowherd, "When the stone dog in front of the village vomited blood, I will go to heaven." The shepherd boy laughed at him as a fool and a madman. I don't care, I said the same thing to my partner the next day. One of them was a naughty little friend, who was very good at practical jokes and listened to many stories of his son. He killed pigs at home that day and stole some pig blood. Everyone in the village fell asleep at night, so he stuffed pig blood into the mouth of the stone dog at the entrance of the village. On the seventh day of July, the son-in-law got up and let the cattle out of the village. When he saw the stone dog vomiting blood, he drove the cow home and said to the teacher, "Dad, I can't help you herd the cow today. I'm going back. " Shigong thought he was going back to his parents and thought, which village are his parents from? Then I followed him out.

When he came to the old scab-washing pool, he cleaned the scab and put it by the pool. He said to the teacher, "Dad, I don't have rice money to pay you back, so I'll give it to you." When the teacher heard the fire, he kicked the scab away with one foot-it was terrible! There is a golden light in front of you! Master Gong was surprised. When he turned around, he was gone. The villagers knew that he was a fairy!

Since then, the villagers no longer call the hot water in the pool "mud cleaning pool" but "hot water", and the small village next to it is also called "hot water village".

On that day, when you meet the bridge of Xianweng in the North Pole, it is called "Meeting Xianqiao".

The stone dog at the entrance of the village is now preserved in Beishan Park.

The rice fields around the hot pool are always solid and full of gold. It is said that scabies spread there that day.

Everyone says this is an auspicious day, because Wazi was born on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month. People near the village like to take a bath in the hot pool on July 7, and get a little lucky. Therefore, the folk nursery rhyme goes: "On June 6th, barnyard grass is ripe; On July 7, it was washed white ... "

In short, he left, leaving many beautiful legends. Although this is a legend, it seems that there is really one person among Yangjiang people who is about lazarillo de tormes. In the Qing Dynasty, Yangjiang County Records (Volume 30) and People contain:

I don't know who Lin Guiwu is. He is in his teens. He used to be a shepherd in the north of Yang River. Every shepherd carries a flute tube, and the basket suits him. If the cow escapes, she will row the ground with a flute, but the cow dare not cross it. When you get home at dusk, the flute you play (Gui Zhi Cun) is high and will fall to the ground, if there is a waiter. If the dragon suddenly learns witchcraft and asks God to cure him, he should be surprised. There is a big stone by the river, which looks like a dog. Sit on it or move to the sun every time you take a shower. One day, he said to his disciples, "I have been rising every day since I left." His followers laughed at it and couldn't wait for it. People scatter stones and fly. It happened in the early years of Wanli.

Lin Guiwu recorded in Yangjiang County Records is very similar to the legendary Laizi. From this perspective, Laizi may really exist, but folklore deifies him. In any case, it seems that hot springs can treat skin diseases, which is a true story since ancient times. In the East Lake Tourist Area of Yangdong County, there is an ancient camphor tree unearthed a few years ago, more than two thousand years ago. About this ancient tree, it has a beautiful legend with the nearby Yangjiang Hot Spring.

According to legend, a long time ago, oh, almost 1400 years ago. Yangjiang was still an ancient wasteland at that time. Well, Ziluo Mountain is in the east, Zhu Huan in the north and Wang Fu in the west. Three mountains are rolling continuously, and a horseshoe firmly supports our Yangjiang. There are no mountains in the south, but it is an endless sea. As a result, Yangjiang has become a paradise surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing the sea, known as Pangu's cool land. In the northeast of Yangjiang, there is a Nalong River that flows south into the sea. On both sides are lush forests, both of which are towering trees.

On both sides of the river are hardworking and brave slang natives who speak slang. A patriarch named Xiansheng is a local elder, that is, a local leader. Xian gave birth to a boy and a girl. His brother's name is Xian Ting and his sister's name is Xian Ying. My brother is arrogant and deceitful, relying on large families, and often bullies the surrounding Yao and Liao nationalities; My sister is virtuous and kind. She thinks everyone is cool, so we should unite and love each other and build a home together. When they quarrel, father always goes to his daughter Hyun-young.

One day, Xian Ying went hunting alone and came to a place called Heshan in the lower reaches of the Longjiang River. Walking, I suddenly heard several groans. Hyun-young was startled and looked forward: it was a man, a young man, fighting a big bug (tiger) with a knife! I saw the young man exhausted and losing ground. However, the blade chased him and growled at him, trying to eat young people as food.

Hyun-young shouted, "Not good!" Hurriedly bow and shoot arrows. Just then, I heard a whoosh and the blade was shot dead by an arrow. It turns out that Xianying is an emergency arrow, and the arrow is soaked with poison that "seals the throat with blood".

Hyun-young drew his bow and removed the blade, only to find that the young man was black and blue and unconscious. She quickly picked a handful of camphor leaves, wiped them and stuck them on the young man's nose. After a while, the young man woke up leisurely. He rubbed his eyes and looked around. Knowing that the girl in front of him was the savior, he quickly handed over a gift: "Thank you for saving my life. Feng Bao is polite here!"

"Your surname is Feng?" Hyun-young's eyes widened and he stretched out his hand and drew his sword to kill him.

"Wait a minute, girl!" The young man who claimed to be Feng Bao took a step back. "I have been seriously ill for many days, and now I am seriously injured. I have no strength to fight back. It's not easy for you to kill me? I want to know, why did you just save me and then kill me?

Xian Ying sneered, "Why do you ask me? What good things have you done that you don't know? According to my brother, a lot of Han people named Feng have come from outside the mountain recently. They want to occupy our slang homeland and sell our people as cattle. Isn't it? Say it quickly! "

Feng Bao breathed a sigh of relief: "Girl, this is really bad!" Then he patiently told his father, Rong Feng, to come to most of the old sages of slang to discuss the cooperation between China people and slang in building South Vietnam. In order to fulfill my father's life, he told me how he set out from Luozhou with illness and walked for seven days and eight nights before he came here through hardships. Then, he asked tentatively, "I heard that there is a girl named Xian Ying in Jia Qian's family. Do you know her? "

Hyun-young was surprised and asked, Why do you ask Hyun-young? "

Feng Bao said, "I heard that this girl has always advocated great unity among all ethnic groups. Don't you know? If you can find her, you can persuade her father together, otherwise it will be easier to succeed. " "My father has always been in favor of cooperation!" Hyun-young was very angry when she heard that Feng Bao doubted her father's sincerity, so she couldn't help refuting Feng Bao.

Feng was very surprised: "Ah, so you are Hyun-young?"

Hyun-young was happy and ashamed, saying, "It's a good thing you haven't cursed my girl, otherwise you wouldn't be out of Longjiang today."

The two young people soon got to know each other. Xian Ying dressed Feng Bao while listening to Feng Bao talk about things outside the mountain. Today, she learned for the first time that there is another world beyond the mountain. I heard that there are many ethnic groups, large and small, in our country, and the imperial court hopes that everyone will unite to build a beautiful home, and so on. She has increased her admiration for this new friend.

The more they talk, the more speculative they are, and they don't think birds return to their nests at sunset. Xian Ying thought for a moment and said, "Brother Feng, what should I do if you are injured and can't walk?"? Why don't I build you a hut here, and when you are ready, I will accompany you home to see my father, okay? "

Feng Bao nasty: "that how line? My injury is a minor matter, but national unity is a major matter. How can you miss a big event because of a small matter? Let's go. "

See Feng Bao regardless of their own health, put national interests first, Yin Ying heart a little more love. She helped Feng Bao, walked slowly and finally got home before dark. Dad Xian Shengjian is his daughter's guest. He received Feng Bao with the highest standard of slang, and saw that Feng Bao was tall and powerful, and his speech was extraordinary. He likes it better. Speaking of national unity, the sage nodded frequently and now agreed to the cooperation between slang and Chinese.

Live at home in Xi 'an. Mr. Wang asked Feng Bao about his illness. Knowing that this is rheumatism caused by northerners' inadaptability to the southern climate, he asked his daughter to accompany Feng Bao to take a bath in the hot springs near Heshan every day. Feng Bao didn't agree at first. If you don't take medicine when you are sick, you can take a bath to wash it. However, I didn't expect that after a few days, my rheumatism really got better every day, and it was even called magic.

After half a month, Feng Bao saw that his illness was cured and his father's entrustment was completed, so he had to leave and come back to me. Xian Sheng couldn't stay any longer. He asked Xian Ying to send him on his way.

Walking and chatting, they came to the ancient camphor tree in Heshan forest that day. Feng Bao said, "Miss Xian Ying, thank you. I'll take the road ahead. Go back. " Xian Ying reluctantly said, "When shall we meet again after you leave?"

Hearing this, Feng Bao also felt inseparable: "I'll come whenever you want to see me, okay?" Hyun-young was happy, thought about it, blushed and said, "Then come on March 3 next month."

So, they said goodbye until Feng Bao disappeared at the end of the forest, and Xi 'an reluctantly came back alone.

I finally look forward to March 3, which is a festival for young Li men and women to talk about marriage. Xianying dressed early in the morning and went to Heshan alone. When I was still far away, I heard a song: "Far away from my sister, far away from my sister, like the sea across the two sides." It's a long road, Xiu Yuan, and it's hard to walk. Is it too difficult to meet May? "

Xian Ying was very happy when he heard Feng Bao's voice. He quickly sang back: "Not far, not far. Songs from another mountain will reach your ears. It's a pleasure to have friends coming from afar, and how many sisters are inseparable. "

Feng Bao came up and approached Hyun-young. They sang together: "Strong feelings, strong feelings, I'll see you on March 3rd. I have a heart to sing until the sun rises. I have loved it for a hundred years. " Hyun-young asked in a low voice, "What happened last time I asked you to go home and ask about your father?"

Feng Bao pretended to be confused and asked, "What is it?"

Hyun-young was ashamed and angry, and turned around and said, "There are only vines winding trees in the world. Where can I see vines winding trees in the mountains? "

Feng Bao quickly apologized: "Don't be angry, don't be angry. My father agrees with you and me. "

Xian Ying was ashamed and happy: "Really?"

Feng Bao said, "Who lied to you? My father said that it is a blessing for our Feng family to have such a reasonable daughter-in-law. "

Xianying knelt down and said, "Shall we swear in front of this old camphor tree?"

Feng Bao also knelt down, and they swore to the old camphor tree: "The camphor tree is evergreen, and love remains unchanged. Millennium camphor, Millennium unity. "

Ying thought for a moment and said devoutly, "Grandpa Zhangshu, bless us to have a fat boy next year."

At the end of the year, Xian Ying and Feng Bao got married. This pioneer was later called "the first hero in China" by Premier Zhou Enlai. In the second year, he gave birth to a chubby son in vain, and the husband and wife named him Zhang and Feng Fu. This meaning is very clear, called Zhang to commemorate the old camphor tree; Calling a public servant is to make your son grow into a public servant. "The old camphor tree is a sacred tree of love"; The news that "the old camphor tree has a reaction" spread like wildfire, spreading further and further. So men, women and children from far and near, suitors, child seekers and Xu Fu came. Strangely, no matter who they are and what they want, the old camphor tree always gives them everything they want. Now, generations of people worship these ancient trees.

Now, when I go to Donghu Park, there are still many men and women who swear silently in front of the ancient camphor tree every day and take pictures as a souvenir.

After Xianfeng got married, the Feng family marched into the desert land on behalf of the imperial court. Like Feng Bao, these soldiers from the north suffer from rheumatism. Fairy lady leads them to take a bath in the hot spring every day. These soldiers were ten days lighter and a month heavier. Slowly, everyone's rheumatism was cured.

Since then, the news that Yangjiang Hot Springs can cure rheumatism has spread like wildfire.

Since then, Yangjiang people have been used to soaking in hot springs to treat rheumatism and skin diseases.
