legend

Zhongbai Longtan is very effective in sealing and opening the pool: sealing refers to filling the pool with sand. I don't know where there is so much sand in the upstream river. Like Shami, it flows into the pool until the three pools are filled up. It takes about four or five days for the sand to wash away. On the contrary, Kaitan has a little bit of rain. There is clear water flowing from the upstream. The sand is in the pool, like someone stirring it with a stick. With the water spinning, it flows out, leaving only clean water in the pool. It takes only two or three days to open a pool. It is said that when Feng Jun and Feng Jun were at war, every time Feng Jun occupied the area, they sealed the lake. As soon as Feng Jun left, he opened the pool. When Japan came, it closed the lake. When Japan surrendered, it opened the lake. There was no lake in the middle. This also shows the effectiveness of Bailongtan.

Bailongtan, more than ten li away from the ancient imperial road from Miyun to Chengde via Gubeikou, has been worshipped and constructed for thousands of years since the Han Dynasty, when it was said that "Ying long can bring clouds and rain". After hundreds of years of construction from the Yuan Dynasty to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Bailongtan has a large number of ancient buildings, with Longquan Temple and Wulong temple as the center. It is said that there are four halls, eighteen pavilions and opera buildings, which are distributed in Longtan Valley according to local conditions. In his heyday, Emperor Qianlong sent officials to offer sacrifices to the dragon, prayed for rain for the people, and went to the lake to offer sacrifices to the people, thus forming a royal ritual system of offering sacrifices to the dragon in February and August every year.

Bailong is the product of ancient Chinese farming and folk culture for thousands of years. Around March 3 every year, one day after the upstream water came, there was a loud noise, and large pieces of ice were lifted out of the pool. It is said that the white dragon had a winter's rest in the East China Sea and came back with a year's rain. So the temple fair is on March 3. No matter where the legendary white dragon comes from, he has been firmly rooted in the local culture, and he has long been rooted in the hearts of the people.
