Jiulian Mountain Myths and Legends Legend has it that there is a pond of lotus in Yujing, the immortal palace of Yuanshi Tianzun. There is a fairy here who serves the lotus every day and is as close to the lotus as a sister. The gods in Yujing call her the Lotus Fairy. On this day, Yuanshi Tianzun was meditating with his eyes closed. Emperor Taiyi came in a hurry and said that there was a drought in the southern section of Taihang Mountain. There had been no rain for three years and the springs in the mountain could no longer flow; the people were eating. It is unspeakable misery to be without food, clothing or warmth, to support the elderly and the young, and to run away from famine and beg for food. After hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun immediately issued an order and sent people down to the mortal world to Nan Taihang. At this time, Fairy Lotus came and told Yuanshi Tianzun that she was willing to go down to the earth to go to South Taihang to help the people who were suffering from disaster. Yuanshi Tianzun approved the request of the Lotus Fairy and told the Lotus Fairy: "Fairy, go pick a blooming lotus and pick two lotus leaves. Hold the lotus in your hands and step on the lotus leaves. You will fly up and travel thousands of miles a day until the auspicious clouds appear. At that time, break off nine petals from the lotus in your hand and scatter them to the earth. The place where they fall is the place where the fairy stays in Nantaihang. Please cast your magic there to protect all living beings." The lotus fairy followed the instructions of Yuanshi Tianzun and put her feet on the ground. Stepping on the lotus leaf, it floated gently and left Yujing, Xuandu; a wisp of breeze blew, whistling in the ears, and fell to the ground. Suddenly, white and red auspicious clouds surrounded the Lotus Fairy. The Lotus Fairy pinched nine petals from the lotus in her hand and threw them down. Nine lotus petals fell in the South Taihang Mountains. In the blink of an eye, nine peaks protruded from the place where the petals fell. The Lotus Fairy landed on a flat land in the middle of the nine peaks. She spread the lotus flowers in her hands around, and the place became a lotus pond. The two lotus leaves that the Lotus Fairy stood on floated eastward in the wind, drifted across the deep valley, and landed one after another. Lotus Fairy looked up and looked around. There was a cave on the cliff. She climbed into the cave and practiced and cast spells to save the people. There was a heavy rain first, and after a while, the disasters disappeared in the mountains and down the mountains. The weather was smooth, and the people smiled with brows.

After a while, the people knew that a fairy girl had come to the mountain to cast spells and preach, rescue people in distress, and bless them with peace. So they went up the mountain one after another to thank the fairy girl, and to ask for her blessings to avoid disasters and ensure peace. People came and went, day after day, and gradually people came to know that the nine peaks here were transformed from lotus petals, so they called this place Jiulian Mountain, and the flat land in Jiulian Mountain was called Jiulian Terrace. After an unknown number of years, someone lived here, and it was called Xilian. The place where the two lotus leaves fell to the ground is also inhabited by people. One place is called Donglian and the other is called Zhonglian. Jiulian Fairy Aunt is revered as Jiulian Old Mother. Lotus Fairy has stayed in Jiulian Mountain for more than ten years. The beautiful mountains and clear waters here and the kind people make her have no intention of returning to Yujing, the Xuandu City. In order to allow Lotus Fairy to meditate on her practice and achieve positive results as soon as possible, Yuanshi Tianzun no longer recalled her, but only added a strict order that she was only allowed to practice asceticism and not get married. The Lotus Fairy practiced hard and blessed the people with peace. She was respected by the people in Nantaihang, and her reputation became bigger and bigger, and her reputation spread further and further. I don’t know how many years have passed, but Fairy Lotus has achieved enlightenment and disappeared. She comes to Jiulian Mountain every once in a while to preach. As the number of people worshiping her increased day by day, she was renamed Jiulian Old Mother. Later, temples were built in Xilian, Zhonglian, and Donglian, and Jiulian Mother was enshrined in the temples. People from all over the world go to Jiulian Mountain in groups to worship Mother Jiulian, and the incense is particularly strong.
