Guangzhou has many names such as Yangcheng and Guangzhou. Why?
Legend of Wuyang: It is said that more than 2,000 years ago, Guangzhou suffered from famine year after year, and rice was lost, making it difficult for people to get enough to eat and wear. One day, colorful clouds appeared in the sky. Five immortals dressed in colorful clothes, rode colorful fairy sheep and flew to Guangzhou with ears of wheat in their mouths. The immortal gave the ear of rice to the people of Guangzhou, wishing good weather and no famine. Then he flew away in the sky and the sheep turned to stone. Since then, Guangzhou has become a rich place. This touching legend has been handed down from generation to generation, hence the names "Yangcheng" and "Guangzhou City".
Then, Guangfu people set up an ancestral temple in Yuexiu, the center of the Millennium ancient capital, to worship "Five Sheep and Five Immortals" and named it "Five Immortals View".
The original architecture of Wuxian Temple can be traced back to the Western Han Dynasty. Guangzhou was nicknamed "Yangcheng" in the Tang Dynasty, and the earliest stone carving in Wudang Five Immortals Temple was recorded in the Song Dynasty. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the scenery of Wuxian Temple was selected as one of the eight scenic spots in Yangcheng, which was called "Sui Dong Tian" in the Ming Dynasty and "Wuxian Gorge Cave" in the Qing Dynasty.
When it flourished, there were pavilions such as Pailou, Suishi Pavilion, Yufeng Pavilion, Yimen, Wuxian Hall, Huangyu Hall, Beidi Hall, Guanyin Hall, Guandi Hall, Hongsheng Temple, Sangong, Doulao Hall, Jinhua Hall, Zhudian, Yaowang Hall, Tongming Pavilion, gravel caves, Bailianchi and Tuoquan.
So, this "sheep"
It is the immortals who suggest that Guangzhou is a treasure trove of geomantic omen.
People who live here eat well and wear warm clothes.
Go out and get lost in the voice of a handsome guy.
Moreover, Yangcheng people all know that there must be a spring report for the grace of dripping water.
The sheep in The Legend of Five Sheep may not be real sheep, but it is the beginning of Lingnan's acceptance of Chinese civilization in the Central Plains, which is a milestone in the history of China.
Guangzhou is one of the first national historical and cultural cities and the birthplace of Guangfu culture. Since the Qin Dynasty, it has been the seat of county, state and government, and the political, military, economic, cultural, scientific and educational center of southern China. You can go to Yuexiu Park, where there are statues introducing the origin of Yangcheng.
