What is the legend of Luofu Mountain?
Luofu Mountain, one of the top ten famous mountains in China, is located on the bank of Dongjiang River in central Guangdong. Located in Boluo County, Huizhou, with a total area of more than 260 square kilometers, there are 432 peaks, more than 980 waterfalls, 8 caves/kloc-0 and 72 hidden stones. The mountain range stretches for more than 1500 Li, spanning Boluo, Zengcheng and Longmen counties, and looks like a blooming thousand-petal lotus from high altitude. The main peak is called Feiyunding, with an altitude of 1.296 meters. The summit is round and flat, full of flowers and clouds. Sunrise is comparable to Mount Tai, so it is called "the ancestor of Baiyue" and "the first mountain in Lingnan".

Luofu Mountain is a famous summer resort with majestic mountains, quiet scenery, pleasant climate, warm in winter and cool in summer. Luofu Mountain, also known as the fairy cave, is known as "the seventh cave in the world and the thirty-first spring". There are more than 1200 kinds of medicinal plants in Luofu Mountain, which has the reputation of a treasure house of natural Chinese medicine. The drug market, one of the four cities in eastern Guangdong, is located on the left side of the ancient scenery of Xu Chong in Luofu Mountain. Luofu Mountain and Xiqiao Mountain in Nanhai County are sister mountains, so they are also called "Dongqiao Mountain".

Legend has it that a long time ago, Luofu Mountain was composed of two dragons in the shape of "Luoshan" and "Fushan". It is said that the Dragon King of the East China Sea had a daughter named Princess Qinglong, and one day she wandered around the sea with the waves. Who knows that Xiao Huanglong, the son of the South China Sea Dragon King, also plays football in the Blue Ocean. Both sides are young and energetic, and suddenly meet and flirt with each other. Because they are all dragons, there are many vulgar children's modality. In their outspoken words, they vowed to get married for a hundred years, which will benefit Shaw History and Nong Yu.

However, the Dragon King in the East China Sea and the Dragon King in the South China Sea are very strict dragons. They all believe that although everything in the world is lonely and the sun is not long, since it is a dragon species, it should first abstain from sex and observe precepts. Marriage should be decided by parents, and private marriage in Qin Jin is the crime of insurrection. In a rage, the Dragon King of the East China Sea imprisoned Princess Qinglong on the island on the left side of Penglai Fairy Mountain, and the Dragon King of the South China Sea also locked Little Huanglong in the ancient well under Luoshan Mountain.

But what if the spring is moving and the chain is locked? God was moved by the true feelings between them and sent lightning to show his concern; The sea was moved by their true feelings and made waves to express admiration. In particular, the giant turtle with infinite strength was arranged to carry an island. In sympathy, it took the island and quietly drifted to the South China Sea. Xiao Huanglong in the ancient well at the foot of Luoshan suddenly felt a special kind of affection coming towards him, and his heart was trembling and he couldn't help it. Then I broke free from the shackles, rushed out of the ancient well, and finally met the long-lost Princess Qinglong.

After all, Little Huanglong and Princess Qinglong are real dragon gods, and they are full of pride. Although they couldn't control their desires for a while and broke the rules of the dragon, they soon learned something from each other. Everyone thinks that it is only a simple combination of yin and yang on earth, and it can't show the eternity of God. They discussed that since we are both tired of each other's lust, it is better to combine our bodies into a wonderful beauty in the world, provide a habitat for all living things, and let our love last forever through new forms. So the mountains called for a tsunami, and the sky fell apart. In the thunder and lightning, Little Huanglong and Princess Qinglong combined Luoshan and Fushan into one. Little Huanglong turned into the main peak of Luoshan, not Yunfeng, and Princess Qinglong turned into the top three peaks of Fushan.

According to legend, Ge Hong, a famous pharmacologist in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, came to Luofu Mountain to learn Taoism, collect herbs and make an alchemy, and learn medicine to help the world. He heard the legend that the two peaks, Luoshan and Fushan, were transformed by Little Huanglong and Princess Qinglong, so he made a bridge out of iron, called Tieqiao Peak Bridge, which straddled the two peaks, and finally the two mountains merged into one. Later generations will collectively call Luoshan and Fushan "Luofushan".

Because of Zhong Ling's delicious food on the mountain, Ge Hong and his wife Bao Gu, together with their son and nephew, hid in this mountain to practice. There are five Taoist temples in the mountain: White Crane, Xu Chong, Huanglong, Jiutian and Crispy Mash. In its heyday, there were 9 temples 18 and 22 temples on Luofu Mountain, among which Xu Chong, Baihe, Huanglong, Jiutian and Crisp Mash were the most influential Taoist temples. Buddhist temples are called "immortals' caves" because they include Huashou, Yue Ming, Longhua, Baoji and Xiang Yan. Because of this, Luofu Mountain attracts immortal alchemists of all ages with its beautiful natural scenery and natural treasure house of traditional Chinese medicine. It is regarded by Taoist believers as a place to go up the mountain to collect herbs, make an alchemy and cultivate one's morality. It is also a good place for gentry and literati in past dynasties to seek seclusion, watch poems, preserve their health and rest, leaving many precious masterpieces and inscriptions, many of which have been handed down from generation to generation and spread widely.
