Human history

Legend allusion

Chaoyang cave and the stone carving of "Sanxing Zhaohu"

On the right side of the mountain top behind the pure land villa, there is a natural cave between the cliffs in the bare rock, named Chaoyang cave. The cave is 5 meters high and 6 meters deep, with traces of stone Kang and fire Kang left by ancient cave dwelling. It is said that in ancient times, there was a Taoist here to practice alchemy. On the stone wall of the ridge at the top of the cave, there are three character cliff carvings of "sanxingzhaohu". The font is regular and simple, and its characters, such as shape, notch and weathering process, are consistent with the "Yishan" stone carving at the foot of the mountain. The two stone inscriptions should be written by the same person. As soon as the two stone carvings are up and down, they are in a straight line with the Yazhang site of the Liao Dynasty where the pure land villa is located. It is believed that the former and the latter two stone inscriptions are the characters that the warlock placed for the tooth tent.

Yingshou Sanqi site

The site is located in the middle of gedagou, beside the valley. After the Qing Dynasty settled its capital in Beijing, it carried out a large-scale "enclosure" operation to reward and settle a large number of meritorious officials and nobles. Tanghechuan from baihekou to Labagoumen was awarded to the Pengchun family who "entered the pass with the dragon". This branch of the Peng family belongs to the Manchuria inlaid yellow banner, which always lives on farming, animal husbandry and hunting. After settling down, they still settled in accordance with the patriarchal system of the Eight Banners in Manchuria. They did not pay taxes on farming and animal husbandry, but only paid tribute to the court according to the law of hunting income every year. Yingshou Sanqi is the household unit of Peng family, which is mainly hunting. "Eagle hand" refers to people who use domesticated Eagles as hunting tools, "flag" is equivalent to today's team or group. The Peng family of yingshou Sanqi was bold and forthright in nature. At the end of Qing Dynasty, he was the general manager of the Peng family of tanghechuan, making yingshou Sanqi the head of the Peng family of Manchu in tanghechuan. It's a good place to be rich because it's close to mountains and rivers, open and open, rich in products and fertile land.

Five Dragon Story

According to legend, there are five snakes living in a crevice on the cliff beside Longtan. The five snakes are only about the size of a person's little thumb, one foot long and silver gray. They usually move around or rest in the crevice. During the activity, they will go out together and never walk away. During the rest, they will hide their bodies in the crevices of the stone, and their five small heads will line up at the edge of the crevices of the stone. People don't provoke them, they don't scare people. Many local people have seen them with their own eyes. The old people who are still alive now say that when their grandfather was young, the five snakes had already lived here and had always been so big. No one can tell how many years they have lived here.

These five snakes are good snakes. They never harm people in vain. In the past, when there was a severe drought, local people came to the snake to ask for rain. No matter how dry the day is, it can give you some rain. Therefore, from the Qing Dynasty, the local people built a temple at the spring under the rock crack where the snake lived to worship the five snakes as the five dragon gods.

In 1978, the rural production team had not disintegrated. On this day, several male laborers in huangdianzi village worked under Wulongtan. In the middle of the break, a 30-year-old man surnamed Zhang had nothing to look for, carrying a stick to the rock crack to see the snake. See five snakes really in the rock crack, five heads in line in the rock crack edge. In spite of other people's dissuasion, he stabbed the snake with a stick. The snake retreated into the crevice to avoid him. He poked, pestled and stirred in the crevice with a stick until he could not see the snake's shadow. Blood was seen on the head of the stick in his hand.

That night, there was a rare heavy rain here. The thunder was earth shaking and frightening. After a short time, the Han surnamed Zhang was not ill. He was blind for no reason. This is not the end. Since then, this man, who was as strong as a cow, has become lazy and has no disease. In 1980, he died in a muddle. I didn't find out what it was until I died.

Since then, the five dragons have not shown much. Some people say that they have gone and will not come back. But some people say that they have seen them in the future. They are still five and so big, but they hide when they see people. They are no longer as easy to see as before.

It's a true story. Snakes are real and things are true
