Yuxian Bridge

Yuxian bridge is connected to shiweng Valley, which is located between the East and West Xiuling mountains. It is said that the bridge was built in the Tang Dynasty. It is a single hole stone arch bridge with a length of 5 meters, a width of 2.4 meters and a height of 5 meters. It is said that in ancient times, a examinee went to Beijing to take an exam. He went to this bridge and got the immortal's advice. Fortunately, he got the exam, so the bridge was named "Yuxian bridge". Located in Lishan National Forest Park.

It is said that there was a scholar named Zhou Daozhi in Xinfeng of Lintong in the Ming Dynasty. In order to study hard, Zhou Sheng rented a room in the stone urn valley of Lishan Mountain. One night, when he was walking under the moon, he saw a group of six people walking on the bridge of shiwenggu. He suddenly remembered that people had heard that there were often eight immortals traveling here, so he quickly knelt down on the bridge and asked for the immortal's advice. These people ignored him, only heard someone say: "a plum in Guanghan palace." He didn't know what he meant but kept it in mind. After a while, two people passed by, and one said, "pooch, please warm your feet." "The head is the fruit, the vinegar is the eye.". And then there's no sign. In the autumn test of this year, Zhou Sheng won the gold medal. Later, when it was his turn, the emperor looked at the snow outside the palace and said, "three feet of snow in front of Yandi's stage" and asked him to write to the second couplet. He thought of the first sentence of the Eight Immortals: "a plum in Guanghan Palace", right. The nickname of the empress of the Imperial Palace was plum blossom. The emperor and empress were very happy to hear that, so they ordered Zhou Sheng to be the number one scholar in the Imperial Academy. Once, Zhou Hanlin was on a mission to the cold northern kingdom. At a banquet, the king pointed to a strange monster at his feet and said, "excuse me, sir, what is this?" Zhou Hanlin suddenly remembered that the eight immortals said "the lion and the dog come to warm his feet", so he said it was a warm foot beast. After hearing this, the king secretly admired Zhou Hanlin's erudition. Later, Zhou Hanlin sent an envoy to Annam. The king invited him to a banquet. When he looked at the banquet, he saw all kinds of head like dishes. He didn't know how to cook them. It was the king of Annam who was teasing him. Zhou Hanlin thought of it again The immortal once said, "renrenguo is the eye of vinegar". He held a bottle of vinegar in his hand and pointed it to Renguo. With a clatter, Renguo blossomed and became a variety of delicacies. The king of Annam, seeing through his organs, paid more respect to the Chinese envoys and wrote a very respectful letter to the emperor. The emperor was naturally happy. He rewarded Zhou Sheng a lot and gave him an official position. Zhou Sheng thought of the Eight Immortals' advice, so he rebuilt the bridge in shiwenggu, named Yuxian bridge.
