Where is eighteen plates?
Eighteen plates are built on the bamboo ridge, rolling up and down the mountain, all the way to Fengmen Pass. You can climb along Xianren Bridge, Zhujieling and Shibanpan on foot, or you can go straight to the top of the mountain by bus. There is a legend about the construction of eighteen plates: there is a stone shaped like a carp on the roadside of eighteen plates, with its head on the ground and half of its body underground. According to legend, the ancient emperor was afraid of national instability and sent many Yin and Yang divisions to visit and destroy Long Mai. On this day, a man came to Yuntai Mountain, found the carp stone and saw the first gate on this ridge. He knew that as long as carp jumped over the moat, it would become a dragon, be born in its owner's house, and when it grew up, it would seize the emperor's land. Master Yin and Yang found the mountain owner and told him the truth. The mountain owner was very happy and asked how to make carp jump over Tianmen. Master Yin and Yang told him that he could fly to Tianmen conveniently as long as eighteen plates were put next to the carp stone. So the master hired someone to build eighteen plates day and night, and the Yin and Yang division left safely. It turns out that carp can only become dragons by jumping over Tianmen. If it falls on eighteen plates, it can only be a plate on earth, and the feng shui is broken like this.
