The Erlang Jade Mountain Sacred Stone is the sacred stone left by "Erlang Climbing the Mountain to Catch the Sun". The stone is located in Lutao Village in Luliang Scenic Tourist Area. The mountains here are winding and the green ridges are verdant. Chengshan, Guangshan and Aohushan are three mountains standing in a tripod. The three mountain tops are less than a hundred steps apart and form an embrace, commonly known as the Three Mountains Holding Their Heads. There is a folk saying: "Three mountains hold the head, and princes will always appear if you don't leave the pavilion." It is a geomantic treasure land in folklore.
The sacred stone of Erlang Yushan is composed of two pieces, one standing and one lying, each weighing about a thousand kilograms and separated by a shoulder pole. The two stones were originally stored among cobblestones in Shandong Province, Lutaotang, and were later moved to the octagonal pavilion of Erlang Yushan Sacred Stone.
The Erlang Jade Mountain Sacred Stone Octagonal Pavilion enshrines the statue of Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun Yang Jian. The statue is carved from high-grade camphor wood and is 2.3 meters high. It is tall and majestic with bright eyes and holds a three-pointed two-edged sword in its right hand. There are two huge stones on the left and right of the statue, one standing and one lying down, which are the sacred stones of Erlang Yushan. There are obvious traces of ropes on the stones.
The mother of Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun Yang Jian was the sister of the Jade Emperor. Sifan gave birth to Yang Jian after marrying a mortal man named Yang. The Jade Emperor was furious because his sister had lost her status by marrying a mortal. Long Yan was furious and pinned his own sister under the Peach Mountain. When Yang Jian grew up, he "cut the Peach Mountain with an ax" and rescued his mother who was trapped under the Peach Mountain.
Because his mother had been pressed under Peach Mountain for too long and could not see the sun, her body was covered with white hair. Erlang helped his mother to go to the mountain to bask in the sun. After the Jade Emperor heard that Erlang had "cut the mountain to save his mother", he was very angry and sent out nine suns to burn Erlang Yang Jian's mother to death.
Erlang Yang Jian was filled with pain and hatred, and he chased the sun for nine days. He captured them one by one with one hand but had nowhere to store them, so he had to raise two mountains on the spot to suppress the sun. Look at the seven suns still running around in the sky. In anger, he picked up a pole and carried two mountains to chase him. He caught one and pinned it down at the foot of the mountain. He didn't stop until there was only the last sun left. This is "Yang Erlang" The origin of "carrying mountains to catch the sun".
After the Jade Emperor released nine suns to kill the mother of Erlang Yang Jian, he knew that he was in the wrong and named Erlang God Yang Jian the "heroic Zhaohui manifested the spirit of Renyou King" and the Taoist title "Qingyuan Miaodao Zhenjun". But Yang Jian, the Erlang God, always had a grudge against his uncle who did not recognize his relatives and ignored him. He was determined not to live in heaven and enjoy incense in the lower world. In front of the tent are the Seven Saints of Meishan, and there are 1,200 grass-headed gods under their command. Regarding the Jade Emperor, he "listened to the tune but not the announcement", and was praised by later generations as "having a high heart and not recognizing his family members in heaven, and being arrogant and living in Guanjiang." "The god of uprightness.
The famous contemporary poet Xu Shuxin wrote a poem praising: "He split the mountain to save his mother and put filial piety first; Xing Ao returned to Meiling, with a high heart and retreated to the riverside. I don't admire the price of peaches, but I only envy my neighbors for their fresh quinoa and ferns. The creatures in danger call out the holy name, Erlang Shenwu is hanging in the air. "It gives a more profound portrayal of Erlang Shen Yang Jian's character of being upright and upright without desire.
