Historical evolution

Yingyang pass was formerly known as YAYING pass. It is said that it was built in the Tang Dynasty. In 1858, Han Fengxiang, a native of Zhangqiu County in Shandong Province, changed the name of YAYING pass to Yingyang pass. According to the book of the new Tang Dynasty, the first election: Tang Dynasty "centenary midwinter In the Qing Dynasty, on the next day of the release of the local examination, Wenju people and the officials of the inner and outer curtains were invited to a banquet, which was called "Luming banquet". After the release of the local examination, the banquet attended by the examiners and the examinees was called "Yingyang banquet". "Yingyang pass" got its name from this, which probably means "Yingyang strives".

Legend

Here is an old saying: "dengzhanling foot snake turtle, there is life to go, no life back." There is a folklore that tells us the danger of yingyangguan and shangcao: in ancient times, there was a tribe in the northwest. Its leader wanted to expand the territory and take an army to attack the city and plunder the land from Guangxi to the border of Lianshan county. The tribal leader sent spies to explore the situation of Lianshan road. The spies didn't know how to speak. He asked several common people in the neighboring areas and went back to report: "Yingyang pass in front is under the jurisdiction of Lianshan. The road from yingyangguan to Yonghe is arduous, rugged and dangerous. I heard that first, we have to go through eighteen rivers; second, we have to go through a vast wasteland (wanliping); third, we have to rush across a "immortal bridge" built by immortals, where immortals come and disappear; fourth, we have to go through a seven mile long Heishan cave, and we have to go through the dead horse Ping (ZOUMAPING) After hearing this, the leader thought that the pass ahead was difficult to cross and the road was dangerous, so he ordered the troops to turn around and give up attacking Lianshan. There is also a legend about Xianren bridge: in ancient times, people on the border of the three provinces wanted to go back and forth with each other, but when they came to Yingyang pass, they had to go back helplessly, looking at the surging water around the river. When the seven fairies in the sky knew about it, they took the chance of the queen mother to sneak down the river and build a bridge at the confluence of the eighteen rivers. Who knows the monkey in the mountain is broken. Seeing the fairy build a bridge, she learns to crow like a rooster. The fairies think it's daybreak and the bridge hasn't been built well, so they fly back to the heavenly palace. Eighteen water mouth, but also left two huge piers, people call it "immortal bridge.".
