Legends about Tianqiao Mountain.

According to legend, in ancient times, Chengde was a sea with a small river flowing into the sea. On the south bank of the river by the sea, there was a poor, kind and handsome young man who fell in love with a beautiful and virtuous girl on the Hebei coast. When the girl's parents knew about it, they stopped them from coming and going, so they had to make an appointment to meet on the Xiaohe Bridge on a moonlit night. The girl's parents are eager to marry her daughter to the rich in the village as a concubine. Girls love boys, but neither die nor live. The young man sent a matchmaker to propose marriage. When the girl's parents saw the low bride price, they scolded the matchmaker back and made things difficult for them. They said, "One month, you can get married with 65,438+0 silver, 65,438+0 silks and satins, 65,438+0 cows and 65,438+0 horses." . The matchmaker brought back the words, and the young man knew clearly that it would be difficult to earn so much dowry even in ten lifetimes. Nevertheless, the young man is determined to go out and make money for dowry. Under the scorching sun, the young man came to a big tree by the river bridge and saw an old man hungry and thirsty, so he gave the old man what little money he had left. The old man ate, looked slightly and asked the young man why he wanted to go out. The young man told the whole story one after another. The old man said that we should let nature take its course and persuade him to go home and honor his elderly parents. The young man wanted to go out to make money, but it was easy to go back and forth. Even if he earned enough dowry, he was too late and could not honor his parents, so he decided to go back. When he left, the old man gave him a fan. He said that he could fan whatever he was thinking and he would get what he wanted, but only once. The young man came home, thinking about the scene of preparing for dowry marriage. He has a fan, and a box full of money has exactly 65,438+0,000 taels, 65,438+0 silks and satins, 65,438+0 cows and 65,438+0 horses braying in the column. The young man was very happy and immediately married the girl for a hundred years. After that, they lived in seclusion in the mountains and grew old together. The bride price soon turned into stones and insects and ants in the girl's parents, and the greedy parents stamped their hands and feet. After many, many years, the sea water in this area receded and became land, and the bridge became the overpass now. It turns out that the old man is a Taurus fairy. Because of this, there is a touching legend of Taurus stepping on the lower bound of the bridge.
