history

There are two legends about wangchi.

One is related to the name of "Xiao Wang Chi".

It is said that when Nurhachi was still a child, people called him xiaohanzi. Xiaohanzi was still young, but he wanted to go to Changbai Mountain to collect ginseng. When adults go to the mountain to collect ginseng, they are all gangs, ranging from 5, 7, and 9. The novice is called "chuba" by the hermit. Generally speaking, he doesn't want to take it. Besides, xiaohanzi is still young, so he went into the mountain by himself. Xiaohanzi went into the old forest of Changbai Mountain. In the first few days, he didn't get ginseng, so he climbed up the mountain. After several days and nights, he had no food in his stomach and no energy on his body. He could only crawl down the mountain to go home. Climbing up to a beautiful big pool, Xiao Hanzi was already hungry and tired. He was dying. At this time, he suddenly saw a big golden dragon in the pool, with a dragon ball in its mouth, swimming around there. He jumped into the water, rode on the dragon's back, took out the dragon ball from the dragon's mouth and stuffed it into his own mouth. The dragon ball came to xiaohanzi's mouth. It was cool and greasy. He swallowed it gently. Dragon ball down, small Han son Li Jue all powerful, hearing and seeing, then easy to swim back to the shore. After swimming to the shore, Xiao Hanzi immediately turned back to thank the golden dragon, and the Golden Dragon had disappeared. Xiaohanzi kowtowed three times to the center of the pool, and said in a loud voice in the direction of Jinlong's disappearance: "when I have the ability, I will come back to thank you!"

Once you say this, you will make a promise. In the future, xiaohanzi became the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. When Lao Han became the emperor, he brought all the officials to the pool to worship and made the pool a small king pool.

Another one is related not only to the name of "wangchi", but also to the legend of wangchi water.

It is said in the local records that the water in Wang Chi neither flows into nor flows out of the pool, but the water is clear and does not decay for many years. This is one of the great wonders of Changbai Mountain. So, why does the water here not come in and out, but rot for years and keep clear forever?

It is said that among the 72 dragon pools near Tianchi in Changbai Mountain, except Tianchi, wangchi and Yuanchi are the clearest. The queen mother of Tiangong and her three daughters love to take a bath there. Among them, the round pool in the north of Changbai Mountain is big and round, where the three daughters bathe. Because Wang Chi in the southwest of Changbai Mountain "is not big and elegant, and the water is not deep and clear", the queen mother is just suitable to bathe there by herself, so she can bathe in two pools separately. After bathing in wangchi for the first time, the queen mother was fresh. After every bath, she was happy in body and mind. She ordered the heavenly soldiers and generals to take care of the pool. She only absorbed the essence of Changbai Mountain and kept it clear forever.

In addition, the queen mother was very excited to learn that her three daughters were bathing in Yuanchi. After bathing in Yuanchi, her youngest daughter, fogulun, ate Zhuguo from Shenque and gave birth to bukuli Yongshun, the ancestor of Manchu. She added a nation who is good at fighting to the world. She told the world one by one that Yuanchi in the north of Changbai Mountain was named tiannu Yugong pool, while xiuyaqing in the southwest of Changbai Mountain was named The clear pool is the king pool
