The origin of the name

The origin of the name of Yunlong mountain is different. There are historical records and folklore.

One said, "Zhi" said: "mountain clouds, winding like a dragon, because of the name."

The nine section peak of the mountain is undulating, and its shape is just like a crouching dragon. When the clouds are shrouded in spring and summer, it is also like a dragon dancing, so it is called Yunlong mountain.

Second, because Liu Bang once hid in this mountain. Dong Qichang said: "according to historical records, the first emperor of Qin was disgusted with the king in the East. The Han ancestors suspected that they were hiding in the mountains. Empress Lu tasted it. He said that the clouds in Ji's residence became five colored clouds, while the Red Emperor killed the White Emperor and covered the dragon. The name of Yunlong mountain in Pengcheng should be based on it." In 206 BC, Liu Bang killed the white snake in fengxize, raised the banner of righteousness, announced the anti Qin uprising, and hid between Mangdang Mountain and Yunlong mountain. There was always a piece of auspicious cloud, shaped like a dragon, around Liu Bang's head. Because Liu Bang later became the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, the emperor is "dragon", the mountain where he hid himself is also called Yunlong mountain.

Third, Liu Yu, the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, once came to this mountain, so it was named. There was a Liu Yu in ancient Pengcheng, who was the 21st grandson of Liu Jiao, king of the Yuan Dynasty of Chu. He was a general in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. In order to eliminate the separatist forces, a shogunate was set up in Pengcheng to direct the war. During this period, he climbed the cloud dragon mountain many times, and it is said that there are dragons in the clouds around him. Four years later, Liu Yu became the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty. He was the dragon of the world. In memory of Liu Yu, the mountain was named Yunlong.

Fourth, Yunlong mountain was changed by a dragon. The Dragon controlled the Yellow River for a long time, harming the people in Xuzhou, often swabbing water from the Yellow River and spitting water as a disaster. Later, he was stabbed to death by a young volunteer in Xuzhou with a sword, so it was named Yunlong mountain.

Fifth, Yunlong mountain was changed by a good dragon. Xuzhou drought, Yilong without permission, line water to save people, was punished by the Jade Emperor, dying. A local girl, save the dragon. This dragon turned into a mountain and remained in Xuzhou forever. Later generations named this mountain Yunlong mountain.

Six said, from a sad and moving love story. A young man named Yunlong falls in love with Dafeng, a girl who has changed from carp essence. In order to save Yu Dashui in Xuzhou, Dafeng falsely agrees to marry the king of nine dragons, and then dies on a rock. After Yunlong died, they were buried together on the mountain, so it was named Yunlong mountain.
