Legend of Longtoushan
In ancient times, Linxian was once a sea, and Longtoushan was once a dragon in the sea. Due to the crustal changes, Linxian county changed from sea to land, and it was dry and short of water. The dragon lay there exhausted because he couldn't drink water, and slept for hundreds of millions of years. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, Xie Sicong, an enlightened county magistrate, came to Lin Biao. He was from Ziyang County, Hebei Province. He advocated building water conservancy projects to solve the drinking water problems of people and animals, and built a large reservoir in Nanguan, the county seat, named Fumin Pool, also known as Xiegong Pool. Also dug Hongshan canal, poured anti-mountain spring water into Anqin, dug Taoyuan canal, and poured water into Fumin pool. The clear water is long and sparkling, and the water quality is sweet and never exhausted. People cheered for it.
Longtoushan, a dragon without water for many years, once it has water, it wants to put its head into Fumin Pool to drink. It is said that as long as this dragon drinks the water in the pool, Linxian will have a bumper harvest of grains, live a long life and have as many officials as a bucket of sesame seeds! At that time, a foreign missionary discovered this secret, and his jealousy was born: How can you fool China people with the development of your oriental culture? Try to build a tower to hold the dragon down and keep it still. However, he is not from here, so he can't build the tower directly. So he summoned the county magistrate at that time in the ancient temple of Longtoushan to help clear the air and talk about Feng Shui. Ironically, he deceived the county magistrate and said: Taihang Mountain in the west of the city is a tiger, but this mountain is called Longtoushan because it is low. Long Hudou, there must be a defeat. This little dragon can't compete with the big tiger, and the feng shui pulse determines who will come here as the county magistrate, so the days are different. The county magistrate asked him how to balance the geographical position. Foreigners say: Build a tower on this mountain, hold down the tap and avoid Long Hudou, and you will be happy forever. The magistrate heard that this method was simple and nodded repeatedly. Since then, a tower has been built on Longtou Mountain, and the dragon failed to drink the precious water in the pool. The wind pulse of Linxian County, which could have produced a barrel of sesame officials, was destroyed and turned into a barrel of sesame artisans. Every year, tens of thousands of construction craftsmen go out of Taihang Mountain and engage in construction in the capital and all parts of the country, from instinct to the hometown of bureaucrats to the hometown of architecture.
