Salt Kirin landed slowly in the air, like a golden ribbon fluttering. It floats across the beautiful south of the Yangtze River, unwilling to fall; I don't want to go down when I drift across the grassland. I don't know how long it has been floating, but it is still playing in the air.
In spring and March, the glaciers thawed, and groups of carp went upstream, forming a beautiful scenery. Longmen is as narrow as a gate, and the water is fast. If you can cross Jackie Chan, otherwise you will pay back the money. Salt Kirin floated here, attracted by this unique sight, and fell down, occupying a rock beach at the entrance of Huang Helong. When the locals saw it, they thought it was not a donkey, a horse, a pig or a sheep. They all thought it was a monster from somewhere. They picked up sticks and stones to smash it. This salt unicorn left there with tears, and became today's unicorn island on the saline-alkali beach at the Longmen estuary of Hejin.
The injured salt unicorn slowly walked south to Zhang Weng Village in Wanrong, and couldn't walk any further. It lay in front of Zhang Weng village for several days. The villagers didn't know what this monster was, so they asked many people to beat it away with poles. After being injured, Kirin ran to the foot of Nanshan, but could no longer run. He just lay there urinating, and the place became a sparkling salt pool. Zhang Wengren regretted it very much, so he dug a pool where Kirin once lay, and named it Kirin Pool. Strange to say, the water in this pool has always been clear, and it tastes cool and delicious, sweet and mellow. The aftertaste is long and can last for half a day. Zhang Wengren also heard that this salt unicorn came down from Hejin Longmen to see "Carp yue longmen". Just to the south of Qilin Pool, a nine-dragon wall with a height of 10 feet and a width of 10 feet was built, with colored glazed tiles on the top as a souvenir. There is a unicorn flying with four hooves at the four corners of the Nine Dragon Wall. It is said that no matter from which angle you look, you can see nine dragons and four Kirin dancing in front of your eyes, full of gas field and very attractive. This is the beautiful legend of "beating four jars of Kirin".
Yan Qilin continued to walk south with steps. On this day, it came to Changle beach, learned about the state and recalled what happened these days. In addition, it was seriously injured. It shed tears sadly, and the tears fell to the ground and turned into white salt particles. The wind and rain turned into salt fog, which spread all over Changle Beach, so Changle Beach became saline-alkali land.
It continued to go south. When it was exhausted, it was blocked by the tall Zhongtiao Mountain and had to lie down in the basin at the northern foot of Zhongtiao Mountain. When the Jade Emperor learned about it, he was particularly uncomfortable and moved with compassion. He asked the wind tunnel on Zhongtiao Mountain to blow his hair and massage him, and asked the rain teacher on Gu Feng in Wanrong County to give him a bath in the rain, so that he could relieve fatigue and have a good sleep. This rain teacher in Fengbo blew a rain for 7749 days. As a result, the salt unicorn not only couldn't walk out in the wind and rain, but also melted in. As a result, it became the famous Yuncheng Salt Pond.
In Susha village near Yanchi, there is a shepherd named Yanzong. He was the first person to find salt in the salt pond. He fished it back, put it on a plate and tasted a strange smell. Not to mention, his sons born for several years in a row are taller and more handsome. Therefore, salt ponds are known and used by people. There is also a saying called "Kirin sends the son", which built a temple for the first salt pie who ate salt, and built it in the temple village near Anyi. Miaocun got its name from this. Salt Gang has become the oldest Salt god among salt ponds, salt merchants and salt industry. People worship it, pay homage to it, burn incense for many years, and pray that Salt god can benefit mankind.
