In 624 AD, by the river in Lizhou City, there was a baby crying on Wu Peng's boat. With this cry, an oolong and a golden phoenix flew out of Wu Peng's boat and circled on the mountain. When I was a child, an oolong, a golden phoenix, fell to the west to become an oolong bag in the West Mountain, and an East Mountain to form the Phoenix Mountain. This is a long-standing legend about Wu Zetian's birth in Guangyuan, which is called "Jiangtan Feeling Pregnant".
Empress culture centered on commemorating Wu Zetian in the Zhou and Tang Dynasties has continued the custom of "23 women swimming in the river in the first month" for nearly a thousand years, that is, Daughter's Day, and formed a cultural landscape with unique local women's characteristics. Huangze Temple Triple Hall, Wu Family Temple and Loutai Waterfront have been restored.
Sima Guang, a famous historian, politician and prime minister in the Northern Song Dynasty, is famous for editing Zi Tongzhi Jian. When he was a teenager, he lived in Guangyuan with his father and studied in the Xishan Mountain behind Huang Zean, leaving a lot of poems.
