What are the myths about Luoyang, Henan? Attention is a myth! ! !

China's mysterious deity "The Book of Hutuluo" appeared here. According to legend, during crouching, the parishioners in crouching "tied ropes and fished in nets" and raised livestock, which promoted the development of production and improved people's living conditions. Therefore, good luck is a godsend. There is a kind of beast, the dragon carries a horse. It has wings and is eight feet and five inches high. It was approved by Longlin and Ling Bo to tread water, like treading water, carrying map points, entering the Tuhai River from the Yellow River (now Baihe and Songzhuang Township, Mengjin County, Luoyang City) and swimming in the Tuhai River. People call it the dragon horse. This is what later generations often say, "the dragon bears the horse." After seeing it, Fu drew a pattern according to the acupoints of the dragon horse. Then, another turtle appeared from Luoshui. Fu got this book with symbols and painted it as gossip. This is what is recorded in the first chapter of Yi * copula. "Rivers paint, Luo writes, and saints write." That is, what Fu said is "gossip, to understand the virtues of the gods and to love everything". Therefore, later generations built a negative figure temple, called the house. In memory of Fu's achievements in pioneering civilization. In the (Yao) era, there were ten suns in the sky, which burned vegetation and withered crops. Fang Xun invited Houyi to shoot nine suns in a row, where the climate is suitable and everything grows. He also shot wild animals and poisonous snakes to kill people. Therefore, people regard him as an "arrow god". According to legend, Hou Yi later rescued the fallen Fu Fei from Hebo of the Yellow River and punished Hebo. Then they lived in Luoyang and lived a happy life. In recognition of their achievements in punishing Hebo, the Emperor of Heaven also named Hou Yi as Zongbu God and Fu Fei as Luoshen. Legend has it that Hou Yi was from Yao Man. According to the myth, when Yao was born, ten suns appeared in the sky at the same time, scorching the land and drying all the crops. People were out of breath and fainted. Due to the hot weather, some strange birds and animals also ran out from the dry rivers and lakes and the fiery forests, causing harm to people everywhere. The disaster on earth alarmed the gods in heaven, and Emperor Dijun ordered Hou Yi, who was good at archery, to come down to earth to help Yao get rid of the people's suffering. Hou Yi immediately started shooting at the sun. He took the red bow from his shoulder, took out the white arrows and shot them at his arrogant grandson one by one. In an instant, nine out of ten suns were shot. It was only because Yao thought that leaving a grandson was useful to the people that Hou Yi was prevented from continuing shooting. This is the story of the famous Houyi Shooting Day. However, Hou Yi's great achievements were envied by other gods, who went to the Heaven Emperor to spread rumors and slander, so that the Heaven Emperor finally alienated Hou Yi and sentenced him to the world forever. The Legend of Du Kang For thousands of years, folk stories and legends about Du Kang have been circulating in Ruyang area and even in Henan. These stories and legends are not only numerous but also of high quality. In the process of constant deduction, they gradually formed a unique Du Kang culture. The Origin of Peony in Luoyang Wu Zetian demoted the peony in Chang 'an to Baima Temple in Luoyang. According to legend, Liu Zhuang, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, slept in the Nangong at night, and the dream god put white light on his head and flew around the temple. The next day, he learned that there was a Buddha in his dream, so he sent envoys Cai Yin and Qin Jing to worship Buddha in the western regions. Cai, Qin and others met with Kashmotong and Zhu Falan, the eminent monks of Tianzhu, in Yueshi (now Afghanistan). In the 10th year of Yongping (67), Cai and Qin invited Buddhist monks to come to China to preach Buddhism, and rode a white horse carrying Buddhist scriptures and statues to the capital Luoyang. Emperor Han Ming ordered the construction of a temple imitating Tianzhu style. In order to remember the merits of the White Horse, the temple was named "White Horse Temple". Since the White Horse Temple, temples in China have been widely called temples, so the White Horse Temple is considered as the birthplace of Buddhism in China. Monks of all ages and even famous foreign monks came here to observe the scriptures and seek dharma, so Baima Temple was honored as "the ancestral court" and "the source of interpretation". 1, Luoshen legend says that there is a story about Fu Fei, a Luoshen, who has a moxibustion population. Fu's daughter came to the world and came to the bank of the Luohe River because she was obsessed with the beautiful scenery on both sides of the Luohe River. At that time, the people living in the Luohe River Basin were a hardworking and brave people, and Luo was no exception. Fu Fei joined the Luo family and taught them to fish in the net. He also taught people with Roche the good methods of hunting, raising livestock and grazing that he learned from his father. On this day, after work, Fu Fei picked up the lyre and played wonderful music. Unfortunately, this melodious piano sound was heard by Hebo on the Yellow River, and the prodigal son sneaked into the Luohe River. When he saw Fu Fei, he was immediately attracted by the beauty of Fu Fei. So Hebo became a white dragon, causing an uproar in Luohe and engulfing Fu Fei. Fu Fei was brought into Shuifu Palace by Hebo, and he was unhappy all day, so he had to use the lyre to relieve his sadness. At this time, Hou Yi came to Fu Fei. Hou Yi is a god who is good at shooting. He was banished to the world with his wife for shooting the son of the Nine Heaven Emperor. Hou Yi's wife, Chang 'e, secretly ate the fairy medicine, and returned to the Heavenly Palace alone, leaving Hou Yi alone. When Hou Yi heard about Fu Fei, he was very angry. He rescued him from the palace, returned to Luo's house and fell in love with him. Hebo flew into a rage. When he heard about Hou Yi's love affair with Fu Fei, he became angry from embarrassment. He turned into a white dragon and sneaked into the Luohe River, devouring many fields, villages and livestock. Hou Yi was so angry that he shot Hebo in the left eye, and Hebo fled in a hurry. Hebo knew that he was no match for Hou Yi, so he had to go to heaven to complain. The Emperor of Heaven knew what had happened and didn't talk to Hebo. Hebo can only return to Shuifu despondently, and he can no longer care about Hou Yi and Fu Fei. From then on, Hou Yi and Fu Fei lived a happy life in Luoyang. Later, in recognition of them, the Emperor of Heaven named Hou Yi as the Zongbu God and Fu Fei as the Luoshen. People on both sides of the Luohe River built a magnificent "Luo Temple" in the old town of Dongguan (near my home, hehe). The story of Luo Shen has been handed down from generation to generation. 2. Laozi's alchemy Cui Yun Peak Cuiyunfeng (I have been there) The top of Mangshan Mountain, about 4 kilometers north of Luoyang, is said to be the place where Taishang Laojun made an alchemy. Laozi, whose name is Zhong Er and whose name is Bo Yang, is from Qurenli, an ancient county of Chu. Legend has it that his mother felt pregnant with a meteor and gave birth naturally. His mother was pregnant with him for 72 years, and he was born under his mother's left armpit with white hair, so he was called "Lao Zi". His mother gave birth to him under the plum tree. He fell to the ground and could still speak, pointing to Li Shu and saying, "Take this as my surname". There are three holes in his ear, so that Zhong Er has no wheels (hence the name Zhong Er, also known as iron pot); Eyebrows are like Beidou, blue in color, with purple hair in the middle and five inches long; Eye pupil, through which green tendons pass, with purple light; Double column nose; The mouth is square, with 684 teeth, like a square mound, with horizontal ridges on the cheeks. He is such a magical person, so he became the official in charge of the "Wangcheng Storage Room" of the National Library of Zhou Dynasty. In 520 BC, when Laozi was 52 years old, the Zhou Dynasty faced diplomatic difficulties and there was an internal struggle for the throne. All the books and records of the sutra depository were collected by Wang Zichao and others in Chu State, and the vassal state became more and more powerful and coveted the imperial court. Seeing the decline of the Zhou family, Lao Tzu had no books to manage, so he had to leave Wang Huan and go to Cuiyunfeng, the highest mountain in Mangling, north of the city, to meditate. Cui Yunfeng is lush with pines and cypresses. Overlooking it, the Luohe River, Longmen Mountain, Wanan Mountain and Wangcheng are vivid, which makes people suddenly enlightened. After my career was frustrated, I put my energy into an alchemist. He built the Altay Red Bagua Furnace, and mobilized the spirituality of heaven, earth, water, fire, thunder, mountains, wind, rain and clouds with the principle of internal and external consistency. After refining for 998 1 day, there was a crash when the furnace was opened, which was still like an earthquake. I saw thousands of golden lights going in and out of the furnace hall and soaring into the sky. I took one for my own use, and suddenly my bone came off, and my face turned purple. When I went up the mountain, I tied the green cow to a valley near Cui Yun Peak for peace of mind. After Dan Cheng, Lao Tzu touched the green cow with the elixir, and the green cow became a magical cow. Lao Tzu rode a green cow freely and went out to Hanguguan, leaving behind a masterpiece, Tao Te Ching. Later, Tianzhu was spread westward to educate the conference semifinals. In fact, it is hidden in Laojun Mountain, the main peak of Funiu Mountain in Luanchuan County. During the Northern Wei Dynasty, laojunmiao and Taizong Ancestral Hall were built on the mountain and renovated. The medicine stoves and Dan furnaces of the Ming Dynasty have been preserved. It has been decorated now. In the Tang Dynasty, in order to commemorate the founder of Taoism, a temple called Shangqing Palace was built on the peak of Cui Yun, and a "Qingniu Temple" was built where cows were tied, also called "Xia Qing Palace", and the valley where cows were tied was called "Qingniu Valley". This story is described in the poem "Cow Roar Valley" by Zhang, a poet in the Ming Dynasty: Where is the avenue going? An old man with white hair famously escaped from Schlein and Danlian Cui Yun Palace. Purple gas rushes through the customs, and green cattle roar at the valley. Quicksand crosses Wan Li, seeking vacuum in the west. 3. The story of Dayu in Zhougong Temple controlling water and casting Jiuding. By the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, Jiuding had become a national treasure. Whoever wants the world, he must seize the dominant position first. At the end of Shang Dynasty, Zhou Wang was dissolute, and Zhou Wuwang sent troops to attack and destroy the business. After the demise of Shang Dynasty, the first thing Zhou Wuwang did was to transport Jiuding to Haojiang (now southwest of Xi), the capital of Zhou Dynasty. Who knows that these nine cauldrons are all like small iron mountains, which are difficult to move and transport. King Wu organized a large number of troops. It is said that a tripod used 80,000 or 90,000 people, and it took several months to drag it to Luoyang. When they are ready to pull to the west again, no matter what method they use, the cauldron stands there like a root. King Wu sighed and said, "Jiuding is the treasure of the town. There must be a reason why they didn't go west when they got to Luoyang. The capital of Xia Dynasty is Luoyang, which is in the middle of the world. Does God want me to move the capital to Luoyang? If so, put Jiuding in Luoyang. " Unexpectedly, just as King Wu was preparing for the ceremony of placing Jiuding, he died unfortunately. Zhou Wuwang's son Zhou Chengwang succeeded to the throne. With Zhou Gongdan's assistance and help, he built a magnificent hall in the ancestral hall, chose an auspicious day, gathered officials and governors from all directions, and held a grand ceremony of Tintin, which indicated that the Zhou Dynasty had completed the great cause of destroying commerce and achieved the world. Later, in order to commemorate Zhou Gongdan's contribution to "Luoyang, Dingding" in Zhou Chengwang, a magnificent Zhougong Temple was built, and the main hall in the temple was called "Dingding Hall". Today, Zhougong Temple is still located outside Xiguan, the ancient city of Luoyang, for people to mourn. The road in front of Zhougong Temple is named Dingding Road. It is said that a long time ago, Jin Meng (going back to his hometown) on the North Yellow River in Luoyang climbed out of the Yellow River one year. This monster is so huge that it swallowed a living person with one mouth, and all the crops in the rolling field are seedlings. Since then, the fields here have gradually become barren, and the people are miserable and unable to make a living. The monster made everyone have no choice but to go to Fuxi. After listening to everyone's complaints, Xi came to the river with his sword. The monster turned out to be a dragon horse in the Yellow River. When he saw Huang Xi standing in front of him waving his sword, he knew he could not escape. He begged Xi Huang to let him live, and promised, "If you let me go, I will bring you a treasure from the Yellow River!" Emperor Xi listened and said, "I don't want any treasure, as long as you promise not to harm anyone again, I will let you go." The dragon horse promised to dive into the river. A few days later, Xi really went to see the emperor with a jade plate. Fuxi couldn't figure out the black spots and patterns on the jade plate at the moment, only knowing that it was a treasure in the Yellow River, he called this jade plate "River Map". Since then, Xi has forged a deep friendship with Longma, and Fuxi often goes to see Longma. One day, Fuxi scrutinized the pattern of the dragon horse, then pondered the pattern on the river map, and suddenly realized the gossip. It is said that Fuxi also wrote a book called The Book of Changes to tell his gossip knowledge. After Business Weekend, the perfection of Zhou Wenwang became the Book of Changes today, which was widely circulated. As for Luo Shu, we need to start with Dayu's water control. One summer, Dayu dug Longmen, and the lake formed by the Yi River south of Longmen flowed into the Luohe River. When the lake became shallow, a turtle as big as a millstone emerged from the bottom of the lake. When Dayu's men saw it, they rushed over and cut it with their swords, but Dayu stopped them. Dayu saw that the tortoise had never done anything bad to the people, so he put it into Luohe. Soon after, one day, the whole city of Luoyang was shrouded in fog, and Dayu led his men to the bank of Luohe River to check the water situation. Suddenly, a bunch of colorful lights rose in the misty Luohe River, and then the fog in the air disappeared. When Dayu looked carefully, a turtle emerged from the place where Bao Guang rose. Bao Guang was released from a jade plate on the turtle's back. It turned out that the tortoise that day presented this jade plate in order to answer Dayu, and worshipped it as "Uncle Luo". There are 65 scarlet letters in Luo Shu, and Dayu doesn't know any of them. Later, after repeated speculation, we sorted out nine aspects, such as calendar, growing grain and making laws and regulations. Later, according to the Nine Chapters of Luo Shu, the ancients compiled a scientific code-Hong Fan Pian. This book has been handed down to this day. Interestingly, the jade pieces and turtles unearthed from Lingjiatan Tomb in hanshan county, Anhui Province, at the end of primitive society 5000 years ago 1987, according to experts' research, are the cosmic schema in which primitive ancestors merged the figures of heaven and earth, Beichen, Siwei, Four Seasons, Eight Seasons, Eight Gossip, Luoshu and so on in the wordless era, and they are also the original Luoshu and Eight Gossip. The unearthed jade plate and soft-shelled turtle were about 1000 years earlier than Dayu's flood control. In today's water area of Luoning County, the "Luochu Book" has two stone cards. When the Yellow Emperor visited China, "Cang Xie went south with the emperor, climbed the mountain of Yangque, and faced the water of Xuanlu Luoan. Gui Ling wrote a book, and Jia Danwen gave it. " Cang Xie is the official historian of the Yellow Emperor. He created a generation of hieroglyphics based on Hutuluo script, which became the earliest counting characters and Chinese characters in China. The post-word-making site in Cang Xie is also located in the east of Yangyu River in Xinghua Township, 30 kilometers southwest of Luoning County.
