History and culture

It is said that the name of Pingmo town comes from the myth of marriage.

A long time ago, at the foot of huicui mountain, there lived shangwa's sister and brother. There was a stone lion in front of the school. One day, the stone lion suddenly began to talk and asked shangwa to bring it steamed bread every day. After a period of time, the stone lion said that it was going to collapse and let shangwa's sister and brother hide in its stomach. Sure enough, there was thunder and lightning, storm and collapse, and chaos between heaven and earth. After the disaster, human extinction, all things do not live, only on the baby sister and brother. Under the guidance of stone lion, the sister and brother got married and multiplied. Later, the place where the two mills joined together became a big village, which was called "Pinmo". Later, it was called Zhuan, which became "Pingmo".

This myth has a far-reaching influence and can be seen in the local marriage customs of Xinmi.

Some versions think that shangwa's sister and brother are Fuxi and Nuwa, which is not credible according to the school's statement.

scenic spot

The scenic spots include Tianye cave, Bailong temple built in Tang Dynasty and Xiangshan temple where Bai Juyi lived. All of them are municipal cultural relics protection units.

Tianye cave is located on Lingya mountain, 10km south of Xinmi City, at the junction of Longquan village of Pingmo town and Egou village of Chaohua town. It is said that the Yellow Emperor is famous for worshiping heaven and ancestors here. Lingya mountain, also known as Daxian mountain, is surrounded by water at the foot of the mountain. Song Da railway and Qi Mi railway pass through the mountain. The mountains are towering and steep, with dark pines and cypresses and jagged rocks. From top to bottom by the size of 72 holes, beautiful quiet, beautiful scenery, each has its name, collectively known as Tianye hole. From the foot of the mountain, climb 138 steps, pass through yitianmen, ertianmen and Nantianmen, and then winding up to Sanhuang hall on the top of the mountain. Along the way, there are laomu cave, dragon snake cave, antelope cave, Huahua cave, Wulian cave, Jiulian cave, Longyan cave, Sixian cave, etc., which are mysterious and have different scenery. It is said that this strange and secluded place was favored by the "Three Emperors" and settled here. Tianye cave is favored by tourists because of its unique natural landscape.

Bailong temple is located on Baiya mountain, about 15 kilometers southwest of Xinmi City. Under the cliff of Baiya mountain, there is a deep pool. The water is not dry all the year round. It is the place where the dragon is hidden. Bailong temple is built on the Bank of this "Baiya Longtan". According to some inscriptions in the Bailong temple, the Bailong temple was first built in 1161, the first year of jindading, and was rebuilt in Yongle period of Ming Dynasty. During the reign of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, Li Zhilan, the magistrate of Mi County, came here to pray for rain. Before he returned, there was rain in the territory, which made Li Zhilan feel magical. He donated his salary, rebuilt the temple, set up a monument, and wrote the inscription of "rebuilding the White Dragon King Temple" (Li Zhilan in the sixth year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty). Later, when Li Zhilan was the magistrate of Mi County, he would go up the mountain to pray for rain every time there was a drought, and it was said that he would answer every request. Later generations were grateful for Li Zhilan's concern for the sufferings of the people during his term of office. They built an official hall in the Bailong temple to offer sacrifices to Li Zhilan. They also had the custom of asking Li Gong for help no matter where he wanted rain. Up to now, when people go to the Bailong temple, they will still hear many stories about Li Zhilan, the county magistrate, praying for rain here.

Xiangshan was famous for Bai Juyi, but now the biggest scenic spot is rime!
