Whatever you want, knock on the stone box and you will find it. But after the child is gone, the world will not be peaceful. If the villagers are sick, I hope my mother will take care of me." Then, Su said. Dan told his mother: "Next year, there will be a plague in the world. If the villagers come to seek medical treatment, each person can be saved as long as they give a liter of well water in the hospital and an orange leaf."

Mother Su followed her son's instructions and used orange leaves and well water for treatment. All those who took it were in danger and saved countless patients. As a result, Kraiejing Temple became famous all over the world and was admired and praised by the world.

(13) Xiangshan Waterfall

Xiangshan Waterfall is located in Baishui, Banqiao, Chen County, and is one of the eight scenic spots in Chenzhou.

The scene of Xiangshan Waterfall is extremely spectacular: from a distance, among the green rocks and green walls, "a boundary breaks through the green mountains, and the waterfall is as long as Bai Lianfei", just like a gorgeous landscape painting; from a closer look, the waterfall flows from It plummeted down from the cliff more than 200 meters high. When it hit the ground, it stirred up thousands of snow waves and roared like huge thunder. It was majestic and majestic. If it clears up after the rain, the red sun will turn to the west, the waterfall will reflect the sun, and a colorful rainbow will appear, which is extremely magnificent.

During the Song Dynasty, the painter Wang Maoyue visited Chenzhou and took the waterfall into his painting and made a painting called "Chenzhou White Water and Qingqing Picture". Gauss, who was involved in the affairs of the imperial court, saw this painting and was deeply moved by the spectacular scenery. He happily wrote a long poem on the painting: "There are exotic products in the spiritual area, but there are no hidden treasures in the country. Poe discussed the characters, and I The poem is very clear. This white water is so majestic, it is so green..." Zhizhou Fan Tingmou wrote a poem about the waterfall in Xiangshan Mountain, which is more vivid:

The cliffs on the face are green and green. The mountains are moving and a spring is flying.

Snow rolls up in the sky and falls to the edge of the sky, rushing to the bottom of the thunder stream.

It’s like practicing flat paving to condense the dusk mist, like silver shining to reflect the slanting light.

Where were the medicinal collectors at that time, but I felt the coolness of the guest clothes.

(16) Rhinoceros Well

In Yuhou Street in the south of Chenzhou City, there is a magical ancient well. This well is made of long stones and is rectangular in shape, more than ten feet long. It is eight or nine feet wide and about one foot deep. The water is clear to the bottom. There is a huge stone lying in the well, covered with a layer of moss and water plants. It looks like a big rhinoceros with a strong body and abundant hair, playing at the bottom of the water. This is the famous Rhinoceros Well in Chenzhou, formerly known as "Yongquan".

Legend: In ancient times, Shennong brought nine sacred rhinos to Chenzhou, which brought good weather and good life to Chenzhou. However, the good times did not last long. An evil dragon came from nowhere and brought the plague to Chenzhou. In order to defeat the evil dragon, the nine rhinos fought with it for nine days and nine nights. Finally, the evil dragon was defeated, and the eight rhinos drove the evil dragon out of Chenzhou and chased it to the East China Sea. There was also a rhinoceros, which fell into the Yongquan well because it injured its foot in a fight and turned into a huge boulder lying at the bottom of the well. From then on, this well was called "Rhinoceros Well".

The divine rhinoceros that fell into the well turned into stone, but its spirituality was not lost. When it saw that the plague brought by the evil dragon was raging in Chenzhou, making the people miserable and desolate, it spouted a stream of cool and sweet spring water from its mouth. People suffering from diseases could be cured by drinking a well water. Therefore, people also call Rhinoceros Well "Yuquan".

Rhinoceros Well is indeed a good spring water. It is warm in winter and cool in summer. The water quality is particularly pure, and the surrounding residents are addicted to drinking it.
