Why is Mangshan called by this name? Mangshan Mountain runs from Zhengzhou North to Luoyang North.

In fact, the origin of the name Mangshan is very interesting, which is related to a legend. Of course, it may not be true. Please refer to.

Legend has it that a long time ago, an old man and his two young disciples lived on Kunlun Mountain. They practiced in a fairy cave all day. One day, Lao Dao said to his two disciples, "I'm going to visit a friend from outer space. This cauldron is cooked with a python caught from the East China Sea. Firewood should be placed at the bottom of the pot from time to time, and water should be added to the pot from time to time. Remember! " Say that finish riding a crane.

In this way, the two disciples took firewood from the pot every day and added water to the pot. Hundreds of years have passed and the master hasn't come back yet. Two little apprentices are a little anxious. One day, one said to the other, "Master won't come back until hundreds of years later. Why don't we go down the mountain to play? " The other one has this idea. So they lit a fire, filled the pot with water and went down the mountain. They had a good time along the way, but they were always worried about what their host told them, so they bought some wine and meat in a hotel and hurried back. However, the fire has already been put out and the water has been drained by the yellow python. I saw that the yellow python was fleeing in the direction of the East China Sea, leaving a yellow waterway where it passed. They hurried along the Yellow River. The yellow python found them and quickly turned to the north. They hurried to cut corners, and when the python saw a sharp turn, it ran to the East China Sea again. The waterway left by this python is today's Jiuqu Yellow River.

Besides, when the master returned to the fairy cave, he saw that the fire at the bottom of the pot had been extinguished for a long time, and the yellow python in the pot had disappeared. Even the little apprentice didn't answer, and I understood everything. He shouted, "Two small animals let the evil python go, making it harm the world again." Catch up with him immediately.

Two young apprentices chased after dark and watched the python escape into the East China Sea. They were about to have a rest when the old master came by crane. Shouting: "beast! You two have caused the yellow python to leave a disaster on earth, so you two must hold this waterway forever! " After that, the two little disciples became two mountains, always on both sides of this waterway. People call the yellow waterway left by this yellow python the Yellow River, and the mountain that two little disciples turned over is called Zhuimang Mountain. Later, people on the south bank of the Yellow River thought it was not pleasant to chase Mangshan, so they changed it to Mangshan, which has been used ever since.
