The legend of the origin of Huangshan Mountain:

Huangshan Mountain, known as the "capital of the emperor" in ancient times, is the residence of the heavenly emperor and the immortal, because of its majestic beauty and mystery. In the Qin dynasty, according to its color, it was also called "Yi Mountain". Then, why did it change its name to "Huangshan" later? It is said that it was named after the Yellow Emperor once made an alchemy here.

The Yellow Emperor, also known as Xuanyuan, is the leader of the tribal alliance. He led our ancestors to raise silkworms, build ships and build cars. Time flies, the Yellow Emperor is old, but he still has many things to do: rivers need to be treated, land needs to be reclaimed, animals need to be domesticated and so on. In order to live forever and do good deeds for the people, the Yellow Emperor sent a public servant to find a place for him to make an alchemy. Qiu Fuguong walked for three years before he came back and told the Yellow Emperor: "There are a group of high mountains in the south of the Yangtze River, which are called Zhishan Mountain because they are mostly black stones."

So the Yellow Emperor led Gong and some officials to Yishan to build houses and blast furnaces, and then collected herbs needed for alchemy.

There are 72 dangerous peaks in Zhishan. In some places, even monkeys are difficult to climb, but Xuanyuan Huangdi has stepped on every inch of the cliff. Later, when the prepared food was finished, they had to pick wild fruits to satisfy their hunger. Many people can't stand the pain and sneak away. Finally, only the Yellow Emperor and He Rong were left.

After nine years of hard search, they collected the medicinal materials needed by Qilian Dan, dug a well, dug up a cool and sweet mountain spring, and then began to make an alchemy. Three years later, the firewood that has been prepared has almost been burned out, the elixir has not been refined, and the trees near the alchemy platform have been cut down. Gong and Rong went far away to cut wood, and only the Yellow Emperor watched the fire. The Yellow Emperor filled the last piece of pine into the stove, and Fushan and Rong haven't come back yet. Seeing that the fire is getting smaller and smaller, once it is put out, all previous efforts are in vain.

The Yellow Emperor put one of his legs into the furnace as firewood, and finally made it into an elixir. At this time, Qi Huangong and Rong also rushed back to save the legs of the Yellow Emperor from the fire. Three people ate the elixir, and as expected, they became immortals.

Because Zhishan is the place where the Yellow Emperor made an alchemy, people call it "Huangshan Mountain". Among the 72 peaks in Huangshan Mountain, there are Xuanyuan Peak, Qiufu Peak and Rongcheng Peak named after three immortals. Taohuaxi also has Dan wells and mortar for their alchemy.
