Legend of white dragon in white dragon pool

Bailongtan is located in the gorge zone of the north and South Mountains. It was called Shipen Valley in ancient times, also known as longtangou.

The water falls down from the cliff which is more than 20 meters high. There are three pools and three waterfalls, which are called three pools and three waterfalls. Water from the cliff along the two water slides (ditch) rotation and down, into a pool, in a pool played a few circles and then fell into two pools. Bailongtan usually refers to toutan, which is in the shape of a urn and more than three feet deep. Ertan is also three feet deep. To the west is the beach. The water overflowed the beach and flowed into the three pools. On the cliff beside the pool, there is a flat topped pine tree, stretching out obliquely, covering the white dragon pool, like an umbrella for the Dragon mansion. On the south side of the pool, there is a huge stone at the foot of the mountain, on which Kang Youwei's personal calligraphy engraves "Shenqi Fengting". On the eight character stones on both sides of the waterfall, there is Qianlong's imperial pen: fly to the holy land, zelingtan. Later, all these were blown up during the construction of the reservoir. The lower edge of the two pools was also blasted six or seven feet deep, while the three pools remained the same.

It is said that Bailongtan is very famous for its closure and opening

Efficacious: sealing refers to filling the pool with sand. In the upper reaches of the river, I don't know where so much sand comes from. Like Shami, it flows into the pool until the three pools are filled. It takes about four or five days. After how much water, the sand can not be washed away. Kaitan is the opposite. A little bit of rain, the upstream flow of clean water, sand in the pool, like someone stirred with a stick, with the water spinning, out, the pool left only clean water. It takes only two or three days to open a pool. It is said that closing and opening the pool is the protection of the pool. 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.

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 dragon in February and August every year. Emperor Qianlong gave Cao Tianyin a half Dynasty luanjia to make him hold a meeting on June 15 every year as an altar. Referring to Emperor Kangxi's conversation with the villagers in Miyun, the site selection of the summer resort is not to destroy the farmhouse; and referring to Emperor Qianlong's "sin Ji Zhao" to review the life of patrolling and disturbing the people, I feel uneasy. The main characteristics of Bailongtan royal culture can be summarized as four words: respect the dragon and be close to the people.

It is a basic law of ancient Chinese society that stability must be based on agriculture, prosperity must be close to the people, Mingjun and folk music.

Around March 3 every year, the water flows from the upstream. One day, there is a loud noise, and large pieces of ice are 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.

The legends around Bailongtan all begin with the legend of Bailong. There are four kinds of folklore about the origin of Bailong.

·I don't know. Not to mention the origin of the white dragon, but to say that the white dragon is a handsome man in white.

·Beihai said. Bailong originally lived in Beihai, Beijing. In the Ming Dynasty, because Emperor Zhu Di sent Liu Bowen to build the capital in Beijing, it was not easy to live in Beijing. So he went out of Beijing and went up the Chaohe River and Qingshui River to Bailongtan.

·Dragon Palace said. It is said that the white dragon and the black dragon are the same dragon. The elder of the black dragon is his elder brother, and the younger of the white dragon is his younger brother. At the order of his father, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, he went to Yanshan to benefit the people. At the boundary of Miyun, Heilong enters Yunmeng Mountain in the north and lives in Heilongtan, while Bailong enters Wuling Mountain and lives in Bailongtan.

·He said. An old man said that Bailong came from longtangzi, about two Li south of bailonggou, because the place here is good.

About the image of white dragon, each said more unified, are handsome young man in white. Just outside the legend, it is said that the white dragon in the Five Dragon Temple is a smiling elder in white. On the one hand, people hope that Bailong can defeat and suppress the evil forces with the vigor of youth; on the other hand, people hope that Bailong can have the style of elders and treat the people kindly.

There are three aspects of Bai Long's character

1. Smart, the protagonist of good things should be smart.

2. Naughty. Many local people say that Bailong is a very childish young man. For example, he talks back to the shopkeeper when working, which reflects the phenomenon of restricting capable people sometimes in life. For example, he doesn't want to be seen when working, which also reflects the phenomenon of a class of people in life.

3. Justice, white dragon represents people's hope, and the justice in character is what people must give him. White dragon is the embodiment of justice in the hearts of the local people.

Bai Long's deeds mainly include the clouds and rain, the white and black dragons fighting for the pool, punishing the evildoers and those who do not respect the pool, coming back from a meeting in heaven to rule the eight princes (rain does not receive rain, fighting for the gauze hat), receiving gifts selectively and so on.

1. White dragon is the main charity for the local people. Compared with black dragon, white dragon is in the South and black dragon is in the north. Some people say that the clouds from the south are gentle wind and light rain, while the clouds from the north are rough wind and evil rain. Farming culture is the most abundant in this respect. The ancestors directly personified the natural phenomena to express their needs and preferences. This seems to explain why the ancestors assigned the South Longtan to the bailongju, set up a temple for sacrifice, and assigned the North Longtan to the heilongzhu with only a few words as a mark.

2. Longzhengtan, as the main story of white dragon, has been found in various theories. The main story is that local people helped white dragon defeat black dragon with steamed bread and stone. It is only slightly different in the cause of the war, the reason and identity of the helpers and the fate of black dragon after defeat. The white dragon is a direct reflection of the will of the farmers, and the white dragon is the embodiment of the heroes of the farmers; the white dragon appeared in the era when the local people had a certain degree of autonomy but could not completely control the nature freely.

·To punish those who don't respect God, white dragon is the main deity for local people to pray for blessing and sacrifice. If they don't respect him, people's lives will be affected. When ordinary people can't solve the problem, they can only rely on gods to deal with it. For example, the poor son of a bitch was scratched on his back by the dragon on his way home, and he picked up the dead son of a bitch with a knife on his neck and hailstones after he went home. From another perspective, people and people should not be insulted.

·The dragon lives in the white dragon pool, so people will send gifts to the pool naturally. According to the local custom, the gift is put into toutan, which is one of the three pools in Bailongtan. Bailong accepts the gift if he is satisfied with it. If he is not satisfied with it, he enters the Ertan along the revolving pool. As a folk saying goes, "one pool of dragons, two pools of turtles, three pools of wangba pile up.". After the residents of the two pools and three pools choose in order, the remaining eliminated gifts will go away with the flow. This shows that people are willing to ask others to give good gifts to those who are good for the people.

·There are two stories about Bailong's return from heaven to punish his subordinates. It is also said that there are Shamao stones and hat wings on Bailongtan mountain, which symbolize Bailong's official position. Bailong goes to a meeting, and wangba, tortoise, mantis and monkey fight for Shamao (probably temporary management power), so Bailong comes back After that, they were fixed in the same place by divine power, so that each of them had its original shape and became a stone forever. In these two theories, the faults committed by Bailong's subordinates belong to dereliction of duty and infighting among the lower class of the ruling class, which are disgusted by the common people. The common people have no other choice but to pass Bailong
