The legend that Guangzhou is called Yangcheng;

A long time ago, there was a great famine in Guangzhou, and people had no food for several days. But the official is still like a robber, begging the people for food. At that time, two fathers and sons lived at the foot of the mountain in the city. Their father was taken away because he couldn't afford the food. The official asked his son to pay for food within three days, otherwise his father would die.

The boy is very filial, but he is powerless to save his father. He was so anxious that he burst into tears. One day passed, two days passed, and his crying touched the five immortals in the sky. The immortals rode five sheep of different colors and took the ears of grain to the boy's home. They gave the young man the ears of grain and told him to plant them in the soil quickly, so that he could harvest a lot of rice at dawn tomorrow.

They also told the teenagers that if they encountered difficulties in the future, they would go to the foot of the slope and find them, and then the fairy disappeared. The boy planted grain according to the fairy's instructions, and the next day he really harvested several baskets of rice.

The boy gave all the rice to the government. The official couldn't believe his eyes. He felt very strange and asked the origin of this rice with a straight face. After all, teenagers are children. Under his intimidation, he had to tell the truth.

After listening to this, the official thought: wouldn't it be rich to catch the five immortals? So he released the boy and his father, and immediately ordered officials to go to the foot of the mountain to catch the immortal.

Feeling that something was wrong, the boy hurried to the foot of the mountain and told the immortals to leave quickly. The immortals nodded, thanked the boy for his concern, and then told the boy to scatter the remaining grain in the field quickly, so that the government could not take it away and the people could have food.

While speaking, the officers arrived and the Five Immortals left. There is nothing the officers can do. Five sheep brought by the gods were left on the grass, and the officers were about to catch them. They get together and become a big stone, so Guangzhou is called Yangcheng.
