The story of the origin of the name of Erxian Bridge in Chengdu
In the 11th year of Yongzheng (1733), the court conferred the title of Hanshan, a poet and monk in the Tang Dynasty, named him "Two Immortals of Harmony" (also known as "Paradise"), and upgraded him from a folk fairy to an official one, specializing in marriage, beauty and happy family. Hanshan picked it up and began to travel around the world after receiving the will of the emperor on earth.

One day, Erxian came to the East Gate of Huayang County in Chengdu by Xiangyun. Overlooking the lower bound, I saw the river bend crossing the stone bridge, and a mother and daughter were sallow, sitting in front of the ruined temple by the bridge. The second fairy was pitied and turned into a unkempt monk, and came near.

Hanshan asked, "The old man looks blue. I don't know why he is worried? "

"The teacher didn't know that an old woman was a Hakka. A Nv was betrothed to Xie Jia A Zi at an early age. Last year, Xie Jia moved from Huguang to Sichuan without any news. I took A Nv to my relatives. So far, there is no marriage and no hope of reunion. Now I have run out of money. I don't know what to do. "

Pick it up and think, this is the first job since the official seal was stamped, and it needs to be done beautifully. "Leping, the smoke is by the stone bridge." A whisper hid the secret. "Please wait at the stone bridge in front of the temple at three o'clock tomorrow."

Sure enough, at noon the next day, a young man carrying firewood came quickly from Dongshan. The old man looked intently and found that this was not Xie Jia's son. When we met twice, we wept bitterly and wept with joy. Xie Jia Azi took the mother and daughter home, and both parents agreed to get married on another day.

A few days later, Xie Jia's yard was decorated with colorful lights and beaming, and all his neighbors came to congratulate him. Seeing this, Erxian said with a smile, "It seems that the Xie family has a good relationship. Let's go and have a look. " Say that finish, into two naive boys with a bun, holding a lotus in one hand and a round box in the other, came to Gu Jie's yard. They shuttled through the crowd for a while and jumped between red candles for a while. They are so active that everyone doesn't care whose child this is.

When the wedding guests saw it, they quickly came to stop it and threatened, "Ah Tsai, stop it and play."

They took out lotus flowers and round boxes and said seriously, "We have come to congratulate you." The waiter was shocked, thinking that the two children looked unfamiliar and the box didn't look like a prank. The welcome extended his hand to open the lid. In an instant, five bats flew out of the round box, and the whole festive scene suddenly exploded.

Listening to the tumultuous noise outside, Xie Jia's father came out of the room. Seeing the angry appearance of this enthusiastic guest, he quickly stepped forward to stop him: "I am a house of etiquette, so I was rude."

Abba turned to salute the two boys and said, "The visitor is a guest. How about having fun together if we don't dislike them? "

The two boys laughed at this, and before people came to their senses, they turned into a white light and flew into the painting. The voice of "where there is a good home, there is Yu" echoed in the hall for a long time. Everyone looked up and looked at it. On the scroll, there are two boys holding a bun, one holding a lotus flower and the other holding a round box with a lid. Five bats flew out of the box. "weren't these two boys just now?"

People suddenly realized that it was the god in charge of marriage, and the second fairy came to earth. The objects in their hands, lotus and harmony sign, box and harmony sign, are homophonic, meaning harmony and harmony. Five bats symbolize Five Blessingg. Since then, people have called the place where the couple met again "Erxian Bridge". People around Erxian Bridge offer sacrifices to the newlyweds and draw scrolls together, which has also become a wedding custom.
