In the Tang and Song Dynasties, there were many legends about the appearance of the Black Dragon King. It is said that the Black Dragon King turned into a young child, Hei Wa, and went to the Huishui River in the southeast of Anye County (Zhen'an County) in southern Shaanxi with the refugees. He took a fancy to a Feng Shui treasure land, and in order to gain a mortal name, he became a wealthy local man. The Li family became a shepherd boy. As time went by, the Li family discovered that the shepherd boy always brought some cold water to the room to take a bath every night. First he filled a washbasin, then a large basin, and then he filled a large waist basin with water for bathing. One night, after clearing the tableware, the young lady saw a strange light coming from the shepherd boy's room. She hurriedly took her mother to the window to peek, only to find a black dragon taking a bath, half on the big table and half still in the waist basin. The whole body was black. Bright and purple flames, glowing in all directions. "Ah, it turns out this shepherd boy is a black dragon." That night, Li's mother reported the truth to her husband. Early the next morning, the Li family prepared a meal and entertained the shepherd boy. During the dinner, the shepherd boy asked me why I was calling you a shepherd boy. Why did you treat me so warmly? The old man quickly stood up and saluted: "You are the Black Dragon King. You put food for me." Oxen have been plowing the land for so many years, and it’s only my family’s fault that they are ignorant. Please calculate the wages after dinner, so you can go.” The Dragon King, who had been criticized, said with a smile, “I don’t need a penny of wages, as long as I live under the bluestone cliff in front of your house.” That ancient cave and the grassy beach outside the cave, I will live there in the future. The old man led Heiwa here with all the answers. As he was talking, Heiwa disappeared in the blink of an eye. After this incident was spread, people started to move to the foot of Dongshan Mountain.
