A Brief Introduction to the Stories and Legends of Old Yan Jun

There is a statue of Laojunyan at the foot of Qingyuan Mountain in Quanzhou. Legend has it that Laojun is a happy old urchin. He often sneaks out to enjoy the scenery on earth in his spare time in heaven. When the Jade Emperor knew about it, he made an excuse to get away with it.

One day, the old man sneaked into the world and visited Qingyuan Mountain in Quanzhou. When he saw the picturesque mountain scenery, smelled the flowers and was intoxicated with all this, a sharp scream mixed with shocking sounds disturbed the old man's mood.

The old man flew angrily to the place where the noise was made. He saw a big fireball rushing at the panicked people. At that time, he flew into a rage and began to fight with the fireball. Because there is little difference in martial arts between the two men, it is difficult to tell them apart.

The old man used his stunt to try his best to restore the fireball to its original shape. Fire spirit lost its strong vitality. Knowing that he could not beat the old gentleman, he shouted, "Master! There you are at last! Help me, old man. Turn around and think: what? Where is it?

When the old man turned around, Huo Jing had already fled. In order to prevent the fire spirit from disturbing the people, he sacrificed himself to become a god and guarded the foot of Qingyuan Mountain. People on Qingyuan Mountain are very grateful and admire Lao Jun, so they call Lao Jun the rock god of Lao Jun and become a famous scenic spot.

Extended data:

The statue of the old gentleman was carved in the Song Dynasty. "Quanzhou Fuzhi" records: "Stone statues are natural, and good people carve them." A few words are even more mysterious.

The stone statue is 5. 1 meter high, 7.2 meters thick and 7.3 meters wide, with a building area of 55 square meters. The stone statue is wearing a hood, with clear forehead lines, straight eyes, high nose, right earlobe and shoulder, pale beard flying, smiling, left hand leaning on his knee, right hand leaning on a few, index finger and little finger leaning forward slightly, which seems to be able to play with things.

It is more obvious to sit up straight with the green hills on the back screen. Empty mountains and valleys are isolated from the world. The fine carving of the head, forehead, eyes and beard is original. The whole stone statue has distinct folds, flexible and powerful lines, exquisite techniques, exaggeration without losing its meaning, and is seamless without any redundant traces. It vividly shows the kindness and happiness of the elderly, thus becoming a symbol of health and longevity.
