Why did Beijing build Nezha City with Eight Arms?
Beijing, known as Nezha City with Eight Arms, is mainly circulated in the legends about the construction of Beijing, which tells how Liu Bowen and Yao built the city in those years. ?
The most famous is the legend of the dragon in Beixinqiao Town. It is said that Liu Bowen and Yao built the city of Beijing and found several sea eyes leading to the sea. The largest two are in Yuquanshan Town, west of Beijing, under a big temple, in Beihai occupied by Baita Town, and in Beixinqiao, Dongzhimen.
In order to prevent the flood, he locked a dragon in the sea eye and promised to let it out when the bridge was old, the wings of the bridge were built and the street lights were not up. But instead of building a bridge, people built a Wang Yue Temple on the bridge and called this place Beixinqiao, so the old dragon was trapped in the well forever.
