2. The origin of place names in Xiangshan County, Zhejiang Province, and the origin of Xiangshan folk stories.
A long time ago, there was a big white elephant in the sky, which was the mount of the jade emperor. Elephants always want to walk on the earth, but there are rules and regulations, and they can't get off the earth without permission.
On this day, the elephant is eating grass at the mouth of Nantianmen. Seeing King Kong, the gatekeeper, dozing off, he sneaked out of the worse gate and looked down, just in time to see a beautiful island by the sea. I think: there is a good place in the world, if only I could go to play! As soon as he was tempted, he became a young man, driving Xiangyun and soon boarded the island.
An old man on the island saw the stranger and asked, "Where are you from? What's your name? " The elephant had a brainwave and replied, "My name is Xiang. I was fishing at sea, and the wind blew me here. " Seeing that all his clothes were worn out, the old man said, "Nong, you can stay in my room!" " There are only two old people in my family, and the customs are deserted. "A Xiang said," then I will be your son! "The old man loved it and happily took A Xiang home. Xiang never wants to go back to the sky again.
One day in the sky, one year on earth. After a year and a half on earth, the private surrender of the elephant was known to the Jade Emperor. The jade emperor was furious and ordered the day to catch the elephant back. One night, A Xiang finished fishing and planned to go home. Suddenly, the sky thundered and lightning seemed to collapse. Knowing that it was not good, Xiang ran home at once. Two old men saw him running in a panic and asked him what was wrong. A tearful, don't gossip. By this time, the day had already broken into the yard, and the two old people were stunned. The elephant ran to the seaside, looked back at two relatives, sighed and jumped into the sea. With a bang, a mountain rose from the sea, closely linking the mainland and the island to form a peninsula.
Later, when more people lived here, it was called "Xiangshan".
The Origin of Dancheng Folk Tales
Once upon a time, there was a Shandong man named Xu Fu who ran to brag to Qin Shihuang. He met a big fairy at sea, and the big fairy took him to Penglai Mountain in the southeast. There is a very beautiful palace on the hill. He quickly knelt at Daxian's feet. How can Daxian and Qin Shihuang get the elixir of life? Daxian said: As long as the first emperor can send boys and girls and craftsmen, he can get it. "
Qin Shihuang actually believed it and was very happy. Go to the monkey farm immediately, and the whole country will collect 3000 boys and girls, 300 skilled craftsmen and various seeds, livestock and farm tools. And let Xu Fu take them to Penglai Mountain to retrieve the elixir.
Chui fook had to crustily skin of head and disembark from Shandong. It's just that he knows what immortals and elixirs exist in the world. Now we can only let fate take its course and let the ship drift at sea. I don't know. After a few days and nights, I suddenly saw a high mountain in the sea, which was covered with tall trees. This is really a rare place. He said to the people on board, "This is Penglai Mountain."
Chui fook took everyone up the mountain, built a Taoist temple and dug a well at the foot of the mountain, intending to live in seclusion here for a long time. Unexpectedly, in the second year, Qin Shihuang's southern tour found him living in seclusion here, which was a great event, so Xu Fu got off the boat with virgins and craftsmen overnight and fled in a panic. It is said that he drifted to present-day Japan before settling down. Penglai Mountain has left Taoist temples and wells made by Xu Fujian.
Later, a Taoist named Tao Hongjing traveled all over the world, seeking immortality and alchemy. Found Penglai Mountain and Taoist temples on the mountain, and wells under the mountain. He settled down. I took the spring water from the well and went to Penglai to see an alchemist. He also painted his portrait on the wall in the landscape.
Xiangshan County was established in the Tang Dynasty, and the county seat is located in Pengmu Village at the foot of Penglai Mountain. Later, someone dug up a stone tablet on Penglai Mountain, engraved with the origin of Penglai View and Well. According to the inscription, people renamed Penglai Mountain as Danshan, built an alchemy pavilion, rebuilt the Penglai view, shaped the image of Tao Hongjing, named the well used for alchemy in Tao Hongjing as "single crystal" and named the county seat at the foot of Penglai Mountain as "Dancheng", which has been in use ever since.
The origin of shipu
Shipu is an ancient town, whose name was written in Fan Chengda's Wu Jun Zhi in the Song Dynasty. According to the available data, Shipucheng Town has a history of 1300 years since the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Once upon a time, Shipu was not called Shipu, but Song Li. Then why was it called Shipu later? Originally, there was a champion named Wei Jing in Song Li Town. Wei Jing studied in a private school named Youshuntang in Song Li Town when she was a child. As soon as Wei Jing was admitted to the top prize, the rich gentry in the village came to visit and gave gifts to congratulate him, but Wei Jing disappeared. Everyone can't catch up with flattery, and these people are in a hurry. One of them, a clever squire, asked the teachers around Wei Jing how to please Wei Jing's champion. The master said: "Master Wei once said that when he was a child, he studied in Youshuntang, and the teacher in Youshuntang was very kind to him, but the teacher is dead and there is nothing to repay. He wants to build a monument here to express his unforgettable heart. It is also said that it is best to choose Taihu Stone as the mountain top. " The local gentry were overjoyed when they learned the news. They immediately renamed the small stone bridge opposite Youshuntang the Champion Bridge, and invested in dredging the big flower shop to arrange a large number of fleets to catch Taihu Stone day and night. Dahua shop suddenly became lively. Wei, the top scholar, was overjoyed when he saw it. He repeatedly said, "This place is clearly a stone pool." From then on, people began to call Song Li Town Shipu Town.
