Mentioning erlongtan is about goblin bubble. Goblin bubble is also known as Yaojing bubble. During the cultural revolution, people called goblin bubble "leap forward bubble". "Leap forward" and "goblin" are homophonic. It is said that a long time ago, there was a village named Lianhe beside paozi. There was a family in the village who rented tableware for red and white affairs. One day, a man came and found the family to rent tableware. The host rented the tableware to him and told him to send it back when he finished. If someone comes with the tableware, they will disappear when they go out. The host felt very strange and thought that there was no place to ask for the tableware.

Two days later, a trumpet was heard. The master quickly came out and followed the direction of the sound. As a result, he came to the side of the bubble. He saw the fog and the shadows shuttling around, and then he disappeared. On the third day, the trumpet sounded louder. It was very lively. People talked about it one after another, saying that there were goblins in the bubble. On the fourth day, the man who rented the tableware came to deliver the tableware. The host asked him who would do the wedding. The man said that it was their leader Black Shark star who married Miss Gala. Then he went out. The master followed him out of the house. He walked towards the bubble when he went out. When he got to the bubble, he disappeared. Goblin bubble got its name.

It is said that a long time ago, there lived a young man by the beautiful Songhua River. He was handsome, honest and powerful. People call him a Niu. One day, he met a beautiful girl besieged by wolves. He saved the girl. I don't think that girl is the daughter of River Dragon King. She fell in love with him. Soon their relationship was discovered by the water dragon king. The dragon king tried to stop them from falling in love. So the Water Dragon King shut up his daughter and did not allow her to see ah Niu. Persistent and honest, a Niu comes to the riverside every day to look for the girl in his heart. The girl really can't bear to hurt her sweetheart. So she sent her maid to see a Niu and told him that she was a goblin. Please don't come to her again. But a Niu didn't care that she was a goblin. He still loved her and came to the riverside to look for a girl every day. Whenever she heard a Niu's call, her heart broke. The girl's face was washed with tears every day, so the water dragon king was angry. He moved Songhua to the south of the Yangtze River, leaving a fake pool to confuse ah Niu. A Niu, who doesn't know the truth, is still looking for the girl and waiting for her to appear. So day by day, year by year. A Niu is still looking for the girl waiting for him...... The hateful Water Dragon King, in order to let a Niu die, sent a servant to tell a Niu that the girl was dead. Hearing the news, Niu, with sadness and yearning, threw himself into the water. His true love moved God, so a Niu also became a dragon, swimming in the water every day looking for his girl. One day, the girl learned the news of a Niu, she went to the pool to meet with a Niu. So they held a wedding in Tanzhong. In order not to let the Water Dragon King know their union, they spread the wind and said that the black shark star in Tanzhong was married to miss clam, in order to confuse the water dragon king. They love each other deeply. For the sake of love, they decide to live a happy life here regardless of any obstruction. I don't want to let the Dragon King know about it. It separates a Niu and the girl again, one on one side of the pool and the other on the other. And built a barrier in the middle of the pool, forming two pools, in order to prevent the two of them from meeting. So people call it erlongtan. Thousands of years have passed. When it is still at night, people can always hear a sound in the pool. It is said that a Niu is trying to dig the barrier between him and the girl in the middle of the pool regardless of the dark and white night.
