What are the myths and legends in Shanxi?

People say that Shanxi is beautiful, with Lvliang in the right hand and Taihang in the left. Taihang Mountain has many names in China's historical records, such as "Huangmushan" and "Nuwa Mountain" in the Taiping universe.

2. Nu Wa made man

Seeing that her people were caught in a great disaster, Nu Wa was very worried and determined to make the stone into heaven. So she traveled all over the world and Qian Shan, and finally chose Tiantai Mountain, a fairy mountain on the sea outside the East China Sea.

Tiantai Mountain is one of the five fairy mountains in the East China Sea. Wuxian Mountain was hunched by Aos God to prevent it from sinking into the bottom of the sea. Why did Nu Wa choose Tiantai Mountain? Because only Tiantai Mountain produces five-color soil to refine stone, which is refined into the best stone to make up the sky.

On the 3rd, * * * workers ran into a mountain.

Legend has it that * * * is the son of Vulcan Zhu Rong. He is a red-haired man with a snake face. He is in charge of seven-tenths of the world, such as oceans, rivers and lakes, rivers and swamps. In the war between the Yellow Emperor and Yan Di, the workers used water to help Yan Di fight. Zhuan Xu, the great-grandson of the Yellow Emperor, once asked him to act as a theocracy.

However, Zhuan Xu's conceit cut off the connection between the world and heaven, ignored the common people and oppressed the dissatisfied gods. The most hateful thing is that he tied the sun, the moon and the stars to the northern sky and fixed them there.

In this way, some places on the earth are always bright, and some places are always dark, which brings disaster to people. Water god * * * took the opportunity to lead his men, rose up, overthrew the rule of Zhuan Xu and seized the throne of the Emperor of Heaven.

4. Jingwei Reclamation Area

Jingwei, originally the daughter of Emperor Yan, was drowned by a storm while swimming at sea. After his death, he became a bird named Jingwei, shaped like a crow, with a pattern on his head, a white mouth and red feet. It resented that the sea had taken away its youth, and took branches and stones from the western hills, vowing to fill up the East China Sea so that it would not make waves and endanger mankind. The story of Jingwei is tragic and magnificent. This little bird persevered in conquering the ocean bit by bit, symbolizing the indomitable enterprising spirit of our Shangdang people.

5. Emperor Shennong

It is said that Baigu Mountain in Changzhi City, Shanxi Province is the place where Shennong tasted Cooper, and Yangtou Mountain in Zhangzi County is the place where Shennong enjoys a good valley. People describe him as a divine man with a strange image of a bull's head, which is praising his valuable spirit of working hard for the people. Yangtou Mountain is five miles southeast of Zhangzi County. There are stones on the top of the mountain, which are shaped like sheep's heads.
