The Origin of Shenyou Mountain in Dongping County

The name "God saves the mountain" comes from a Taoist named Jiang Ziya. According to legend, Jiang Ziya practiced here. He used his magic to turn a dragon into a mountain peak to protect the local people from floods. Since then, whenever floods come, God jiusan will exert his magical power to protect the surrounding villages and farmland from floods, so he is regarded as the local patron saint mountain and an important symbol of people's beliefs and scenic spots. Saving the mountain by god also contains rich cultural connotation and historical value. The ancient buildings, inscriptions and temples on the mountain have important historical and cultural significance.
