History and culture

Origin of Dancheng town in Xiangshan County

There is a legend about the origin of the name of Dancheng.

People's desire is infinite, some people when the emperor, but also want to live forever? Qin Shihuang is such a man. He is too busy to be a flatterer. The Shandong man named Xu Fu is even more itchy. He cheated Qin Shihuang that he met a great immortal on the sea and he took him to Penglai mountain in the southeast. There is a beautiful palace on the mountain. He knelt down at the foot of the immortal. How can the first emperor of Qin get the elixir of immortality. Da Xian said: "as long as you can send boys and girls, skilled craftsmen, you can get them."

Qin Shihuang was very happy to hear that. He immediately ordered the whole country to collect three thousand boys and girls, three hundred craftsmen with the best skills, and all kinds of seeds and farm tools, so that Xu Fu could take them to Penglai mountain to get back the elixir of immortality.

Xu Fu had to harden his head and set sail from Shandong. It's just that he knows where the medicine is in the world? It's up to fate. Let the boat float in the sea. I don't know. After drifting for several days and nights, I suddenly saw a high mountain in the sea. The mountain is full of tall and big trees. It's really a rare place. He said to the people on the boat, "this is Penglai mountain.".

Xu Fu took everyone to the mountain, built a Taoist temple, dug a well at the foot of the mountain, and planned to live in seclusion here for a long time. But the next year, when the first emperor of Qin traveled to the south, Xu Fu was scared to death. He knew that if the emperor found him living in seclusion here, he would be killed by the whole family. Xu Fu took the boy and girl all night, and the craftsman got off the boat and ran away. It is said that later he drifted to Japan and settled down. Penglai mountain left the Taoist temple and water well built by Xu Fu.

Later, a Taoist named Tao Hongjing traveled all over the world to seek immortality and alchemy. We found Penglai mountain, the Taoist temple on the mountain and the well at the foot of the mountain. And he stayed. He took well and spring water and went to Penglai mountain for alchemy. He also painted his own image on the wall of Guannei.

In the Tang Dynasty, Xiangshan County was established. The county seat was in penglao village at the foot of Penglai mountain. Later, someone dug out a stone tablet on Penglai mountain, which engraved the origin of Penglai temple and water well. According to the inscriptions, Penglai mountain was renamed as Danshan, the pavilion for alchemy was built, the Penglai temple was rebuilt, and the statue of Tao Hongjing was shaped. The well for alchemy of Tao Hongjing was named "Danjing", and the county town at the foot of Penglai mountain was called "Dancheng", which is still in use today.

Origin of Dancheng town in Guoyang County

From the perspective of cultural relics excavation, various literature records and folklore, Dancheng has a very long historical background and rich cultural accumulation. According to the records of Suzhou annals, the crown prince of Zhou Jin tasted alchemy here, so it was named "Dancheng". It is also said that Laozi, the founder of Taoism, once refined Dan here. He rode an ox out of Hangu pass and went off with his head around Ziqi. Later, this place was named "Dan city" and was inscribed with "Dan Cheng" on many tablets. In ancient times, there was a cave in the "guipeng" of Dancheng. It is said that Laozi was the site of alchemy. Later generations have a poem to prove that "when Laozi made alchemy, it took nine days and seven days in the cave. It has been thousands of years in the world.". In the summer of 1992, a piece of "Xuandi Xinggong" stele was unearthed here. The front and back sides of the stele are vivid and magnificent. It can be seen that the legend has a certain basis. Dancheng had a county system in the early Western Han Dynasty, named Wuyang County, because the fief of fan Kuai, the great general of Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, was here, not Wuyang County in Henan Province. One kilometer to the east of danchengji, there is still the site of Jiangtai at fankuai point, commonly known as "jiangkudui". On the old street, there is the site of Marquis fankuai's residence, which was later called "Siguo Temple". 72 ancient wells have been excavated along the old street. Most of the wells are made of ceramic bricks. There are a large number of fragments of red and black pottery, a small number of fragments of colored pottery, small stone tools, jade shovels and black pottery galloping horses. There are also holy paper steles, ancient Swords, bronze coins, stone steles, stone lions, stone sheep, jade ware and so on. There are many temples on the street, such as Guandi Temple (also known as guanchan Pavilion), earth temple, Niuwang temple, Huatuo temple, grandma temple, Huo temple Temples, temples, temples, Town God's Temple, gang Shai Lou, big temple, all temples and so on. Judging from the scale and organizational structure of the temple, Dancheng was by no means an ordinary market town at that time. According to the general annals of Anhui Province, "there is a six edged stele written by Chu suiliang of Tang Dynasty, and the remnant stone still exists today.". According to Suzhou annals, "the stele written by Chu suiliang of Tang Dynasty is in the ancient temple of xidancheng County, Suzhou. It is made of six ridges and has this word on its surface. According to textual research, behind the "Guange", there is an eight edged stele in front of the gate of the "Siguo Temple", with characters on its surface. The stele records the construction of Guange in Zhenguan period of Tang Dynasty. The inscriptions on the stele are rich, colorful, fluent and varied. They were written by Chu suiliang, one of the four great calligraphers in the early Tang Dynasty. In the early years of the Republic of China, Huang Peilan, the county magistrate of Guoyang County, ordered people to pull away the lower part of the monument and go up
