What is the origin of Qilin Mountain?

One of the most popular is that Qilin Mountain was originally a Kirin monster, creating chaos everywhere. Later, a powerful Taoist subdued it, put a sword on its back and sealed it.

There is a hill called Qilin Mountain about two kilometers south of Tang Yi Town, Luo Zhuang, Linyi City. You can't see the towering peaks, but you can feel a kind of peace and tranquility from them. According to legend, during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, Zhong moved to the foot of Qilin Mountain and spread all over residential areas. About 50 meters above sea level, there is a Jade Deficiency Temple on the top of the mountain. The existing inscriptions show that the building was built in Yongle period of Ming Dynasty, with a history of 500 to 600 years.

Jade deficiency view enshrines three immortals: Xuanwu Emperor, Peach Blossom Girl and Duke Zhou. About Emperor Xuanwu, it is said that he was practicing here, and when he was hungry, he took out his stomach and threw it on the mountain. After Emperor Xuanwu cultivated into an immortal, his intestines became snakes, his stomach became turtles, he cultivated into snake gods and turtle gods, and he became the right-hand man of Emperor Xuanwu.

There is a platform built of bluestone on the south side of Yuxuanguan. The villagers in Qilinshan Village said that according to legend, Emperor Qianlong went down to the south of the Yangtze River and passed by Qilinshan. When he stopped, he improvised a stage to sing for fun. The stage has been preserved to this day. Of course, this statement has no historical data and inscriptions to check. However, this abandoned stone platform did bring infinite joy to the villagers at the foot of the mountain in the early years. On holidays, the scene of singing on the stage is still vivid.

Linpo is a clear spring above the steep slope on the Shanxi side. By the time the clock moved in the Ming Dynasty, this spring might have existed. Up to now, the villagers have also circulated a legend about drenching the slope. Spring water is the eyes of white deer, spring water is the water source for Kirin children to drink, and spring water is naturally formed. To be sure, no matter how dry the weather is, the spring will never dry up, but even in rainy weather, the spring will not gush.
