Where is Laozi's hometown? Introduction of Laozi's hometown

1, Laozi's hometown has always been controversial. The dispute over "Laozi's hometown" has been going on for more than ten years. A person can only have one birthplace, although he has been to many places in his life. One is located in Taiqinggong Town, Luyi County, Henan Province, and the other is located in Zhengdian Village, Guoyang County, Anhui Province. Yang Guo, Anhui and Lu Yi, Henan are very close, with a straight line distance of only 80 kilometers.

2. Laozi Yang Guo said Jiulong Well: Laozi's hometown has two unique landscapes, Meteor Garden and Jiulong Well. According to the legend of Youlong in the orthodox Taoist scriptures and various ancient books, when Laozi was born, there was an eternal wonder on the "surging water", "Wan He Kong Xiang, Fei Long spits water, bathes in a sacred posture, and where dragons come out, they become nine wells".

3. The Seven True Ancestors has a detailed description, saying that four real people, Liu Changsheng, Wang Yuyang, Tan Changzhen and Hao Taigu, found the place where Taishang Laojun was born. "I saw nine wells surrounded by an octagonal pavilion with a plum tree next to it. It is said that Emperor Tai was born under the plum tree; Four people stepped into the pavilion, and there was a stone tablet in the pavilion to remember the birthday. " After describing the birth of Emperor Tai Shang, "Nine wells were formed by spitting water and bathing his body in Kowloon", he particularly emphasized: "Its miraculous features are recorded in history, and there is textual research, which is not groundless." In the 1990s, under the leadership of local villagers, archaeologists discovered 9 wells in the village.
