The origin of Yuanbaoshan in Chengde

Yuanbaoshan Twin Towers A boulder like an ingot lies on the south ridge of Liuqili Road in Shandong Province, hence the name Yuanbaoshan. The stone "Yuanbao" is more than 0/00 meters long, with both ends inclined, and there is a hole in the north, which is 8 meters deep, 6 meters wide and 1.6 meters high. There is no sunshine all year round, and it is still ice and snow in the cave in May of the lunar calendar.

There is a ditch between Yuanbaoshan and Shuangtashan. The cliff on the east side is a cliff with a height of 100 meters and a length of more than 300 meters. There are many holes in the wall, just like a honeycomb. These caves vary in size and depth, making them ideal nests for birds. Some branches that build nests seem to weigh one or two hundred Jin, and most of them were built by carved eagle, so they are called carved wax seeds, and this ditch is called carved ditch. Except dice carving, dice carving is huge, strange and spectacular. There are many strange rocks in the hanging ditch, including small croquet mountain, chair mountain, camel mountain, stone man and stone monkey. There are several big holes in the carving ditch. The largest one is 30m deep, 0/5m wide and 5m high. The mountains and rivers in the cave are empty and trickle all year round.

The legend of Yuanbaoshan

A long time ago, there was a plague in a village. Every family gets sick and dies every day. There is a drugstore nearby, and the owner's surname is Wang. Seeing this, the price of medicine rose by 30%, which made the poor people sell houses and land to treat diseases, and they lost all their money.

There was a poor household in the village, and both daughters died of illness, leaving only two. My son Shuan Er is kind-hearted and hardworking. He helped the family buy medicine and food. He also cooks medicine and soup for his mother. He is busy for everyone all day. One day, my mother said, "Don't be busy for me, I can't." Say that finish and then fainted. At this moment, there was a knock at the door outside. Shuaier opened the door and saw a Taoist priest.

The Taoist said, "I'm here for a visit. It's getting late and I want to spend the night." Afraid of her illness, Shuan Er told the truth. The Taoist priest said, "benefactor, I can practice medicine and treat diseases." How about treating your mother? " After that, I helped my mother feel her pulse, and Shuaier was busy cooking. The Taoist priest told Shuaier, "Your mother is seriously ill. Tomorrow morning, you will go to the valley at the top of the southwest mountain. There is an ingot-shaped stone plate with a purple flower in it. Just pinch it back and cook soup. " Remember, you can only pinch, not pull. "Shuan son did. Strangely, as soon as the medicine was imported, my mother's eyes opened and she was able to walk on the ground soon.

Shuaier was very grateful to these flowers, and the next day he brought them to the water to water them. It seems strange that the flower that was pinched yesterday is blooming again today. He thought the villagers were still sick, so he pinched flowers to make soup for the patients. In this way, he picks flowers every day and blooms every day. In less than half a month, all the patients in the village recovered. Wang Zhanggui, the drugstore owner, lost his dream of getting rich. He was very angry, so he sent someone to follow Shuaier to find the origin of this flower. Wang Zhanggui wants to plan this flower home and use it to make a fortune. He took several family members up the mountain to plane, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't even plane a stone. And the small stone plate suddenly grows bigger and bigger, and grows higher and higher. Wang Zhanggui shouted, "Climb down quickly!" He grasped the edge of the disc tightly, but the spindle disc suddenly rose more than ten feet and a big mountain peak gradually formed. The people on the plate either fell to death or starved to death. Later, people called it "Yuanbaoshan" according to the shape of the peak. There is still a jingle in Chengde that "Ganoderma lucidum in Yuanbaodong is a treasure to eliminate disasters and diseases, and whoever wants to steal it will die in the cave".
