He suddenly saw a golden dragon in the pool. He was dazzled and said, "it's really a crystal palace made by heaven and earth." After entering Beijing for the examination, he became famous at one stroke. He went back to donate a large sum of money to rebuild the temple to serve the spirit of the Yellow Dragon. The four storey hall was resplendent, and the Yellow Dragon Temple was once full of incense. Today, there is still a steady stream of spring water in huanglongchi.

Cai Xiaozi Temple

"The black sorrel was in Xuanwei, crying with hunger and tears. If you know filial piety with bare eyebrows, you will return with your cattle and rice. " This is an ancient poet's praise of Cai Shun's filial piety.

Cai Shun, whose name is Junzhong, was born in Runan at the end of the Western Han Dynasty and was one of the twenty-four filial piety in ancient times. When he lost his father, he was filial to his mother. To avoid Wang Mang's rebellion, he took his mother to Sangang temple. Every day, Cai Shun went out to beg for food and worship his mother. Sometimes, before he came back in the dark, his mother was waiting at the entrance of the village. That's where the name of the temple came from.

One day, Cai Shun asked for nothing. He was hungry and faltering. When he came across the mulberry forest, he picked it up one by one. He put the black purple and the blue into the basket separately. On the way back, he met a group of red browed soldiers. The soldiers were surprised to see that they divided the mulberry into two parts. They asked the reason. Shun said: "black purple is a mature fruit, sweet, for mother to eat, and the blue is sour, so they are happy Eat. " This moved the leader of the red eyebrow army, so he presented him with two fists of white rice and one hoof as a token of respect. He also told all red browed soldiers that the only child in their family could go home to support their parents. Later, Han Chong, the governor of Yingchuan, learned Cai shunxiao's name and recommended him as Xiaolian. His mother died 90 years old and was buried next to the other temple, known as "caimu tomb", which still exists today.

According to the inscriptions, in the 13th year of Hongzhi in the Ming Dynasty, the elders in the area of Shenjian Village (now the residence of the township government) were "willing to set up a memorial temple to encourage the villagers with wind", so they built a "Cai Xiaozi Temple" in the east of the village to offer sacrifices to Cai Shun. At the same time, Bao Yu, the chieftain of chasi in Henan Province, wrote the inscription of CAI Gong, the filial son of the Han Dynasty, and carved stones to record his events.

Today, there is a main hall in the ancestral hall of CAI Xiaozi. There are three ancient steles in it.
