First, there are five dragons.
The outlet section of the precipitation river in Duyang Town, Yun 'an District, Yunfu City is called "the west of the city" in history. As early as the pre-Qin period, a strange girl was born at the mouth of Chengxi River. Later, a woman surnamed Wen picked up a huge egg by the Xijiang River, hatched and raised five dragons, and was honored as the "dragon mother" by people at that time, and the legend of the dragon mother was born. It is said that the Dragon Mother is charitable, leading Wulong to build dikes and dams, dredging rivers and opening up a paradise. She made contributions to the country and the people and was named "Mrs. Cheng" by Qin Shihuang. After the dragon mother died, Wulong buried her in Qingqi Mountain at the mouth of the west of the city. The villagers also converted the former residence of the Dragon Mother into a temple dedicated to the Dragon Mother, which is also the earliest temple dedicated to the Dragon Mother in history. This temple is the ancestral temple in the west of the city, which has been handed down from generation to generation in Precipitation Village, and the popular dragon mother culture and belief in Lingnan also came from it. The Book of the Old Tang Dynasty in the late Jin Dynasty reads: "The capital is the West County of the Han Dynasty. Dongbaibu has the west of the city, also known as Zero Creek, which is also the Longxi River. " Ming Jiajing's "Deqing County Chronicle" states: "(Zhou Dong) is 80 miles away from Lingxi, which is famous in the west of the city. It originated in Xinxing County, and flows for more than 100 miles in the north, and enters the river through the Confucian Forest and Fulu Erli. There is a stone cliff at the mouth of the sea, more than ten feet high. When water flows down from above, the potential drops, so it is also called precipitation. In ancient times, those who were warm lived in Shuikou, and those who were not had ghosts and gods, so they worshipped them. So, Kprusoian heard the bells and drums on the mountain next to Yunlong and took the leftover fruit to eat. "
Second, there are fairy tales in my grandfather's altar.
Next to the site of Hongwei People's Commune Hydropower Station in Xianju Village, Duyang Town, Yun 'an District, Yunfu City, there is an original attic temple named "Agongtan". Agongtan is located at the junction of Shuiyu Village and Xianju Village. In the past, villagers in these two villages would stop at Agongtan when passing through Tanchong. According to the ancient legend of the two villages, Agongtan is the palace of the dragon mother, and the dragon mother often meets the Eight Immortals in Agongtan to enjoy the beautiful scenery here and seek benefits for the people on earth. Therefore, when the Eight Immortals Altar still exists, people can see the statues of the Eight Immortals inside. In the past, the annual Double Ninth Festival was an annual temple fair in Agongtan. On this day, people in eight neighboring villages will beat gongs and drums, dance lions and worship the gods at the altar of Grandfather. After a series of memorial ceremonies, people will climb to the top of Fozi 'ao behind Agong altar, singing and dancing, eating, drinking and having fun. It was not until after the Cultural Revolution that the statue of Agongtan was moved out and thrown into the Longhe River, and the ritual custom of Agongtan was abolished, and the annual custom of worshipping God and climbing mountains disappeared. Until recent years, the buildings in Agongtan have also been demolished. However, the story of the Eight Immortals of the Dragon Mother in Agongtan has been passed down from generation to generation.
3. Clouds appear on Chungang Mountain.
On Chungang Mountain in Yuncheng District, Yunfu City, there is an original dragon mother temple which was built in Wanli period of Ming Dynasty, and it is also an important relic of dragon mother culture in Yunfu City. According to local documents, Longmu Temple in Chungangshan is the first county magistrate in Dong 'an County. Xiaoyuangang was built in the sixth year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty. Xiao Yuangang built this temple in order to make people in the county trek to places with such a long rainfall to worship the Dragon Mother without going over mountains and mountains. So the Dragon Mother Temple in Chungang Mountain was used as the Dragon Mother Palace, and the nearby believers came here to worship the Dragon Mother. The training room pier at the foot of Chungang Mountain is the most upstream pier of the precipitation river. In the past, when the precipitation river was still in the same boat, it was as far away as possible when the precipitation boat could come here. People in the county wanted to precipitation, and it was also here that they sailed down the river. Therefore, Xiao Yuangang's construction of the Dragon Mother Temple in Chungang Mountain of Lianwu Wharf was also well thought out. As the origin of dragon mother culture, the terminal of sedimentation river also bears the historical responsibility of promoting dragon mother culture. Historical development has proved that this plan is correct. Until today, there is still the site of the Dragon Mother Temple on Chungang Mountain, and the nearby villages are deeply influenced by the Dragon Mother culture. Chungang Mountain has undoubtedly become an important spreading base of Dragon Mother Culture.
Fourth, fumigation of Dongfu dialect in Panlong.
Panlong Cave in Yuncheng District of Yunfu City is the only provincial-level scenic spot in Yunfu City, which is famous for its magnificent scenery and dazzling array of things.

Tiechang Village, Nansheng Town, Yuncheng District, Yunfu City, an ancient village famous for ironmaking, is also the spreading base of Dragon Mother Culture. The Dragon Mother Temple, located at the Shuikou of Tiechang Village, witnessed the rise of this remote mountainous area, and the dragon mother belief in the Dragon Mother Temple has also become a belief that local people have always adhered to. According to folklore, a long time ago, the dragon mother came to the iron field in Nansheng from Xinxing via Shigu River. It happened to be windy and rainy at that time, and Mother Dragon was hungry. Liu, the lover of Liujiamiao in the iron yard, saw it and kindly helped the dragon mother. She was treated to a good meal and a good vegetable field. The next day, after the rain cleared, the dragon mother thought that the Liu family had created a large number of talents in order to repay the kindness of the Liu family, and vowed to block the iron gate where the water flowed eastward and let the river flow northward. The dragon mother kept her word. She turned into a fairy and rushed to Sichuan overnight. She found a big or small stone and hooked it back to the iron yard with an umbrella handle. Just as Mother Dragon was approaching the iron gate nearly 100 meters away, she suddenly heard a cock crow and knew it was dawn. As a result, the dragon mother's method was broken, and the big stone fell away from the iron gate 100 meters. So far, it has been regarded as a "fairy stone", and the dream of the dragon mother blocking the iron gate cannot be realized. Later, in order to commemorate the spirit of Dragon Mother's moving to Petrochemical Creek, the villagers of Tiechang built the Dragon Mother Temple at the entrance of Tiechang to worship the Dragon Mother, which is the origin of the Dragon Mother Temple in Tiechang.
Sixth, the clouds in the mountains leave holes.
There is also a spectacular Dragon Mother Temple in Liu Dong Village at the foothills of Wu Yun, Shicheng Town, Yun 'an District, Yunfu City, which is also the spreading base of Dragon Mother Culture. The Dragon Mother Temple in Liu Dong was built in Bingyin year of Ming Dynasty. Originally named "Huilongguan", it was not originally dedicated to the dragon mother.

For example, the Dragon Mother Temple in Xinxing Village, the Dragon Mother Phoenix Temple in Luoping and Luoding, and the Zhanggong Temple in Liantan, Yunnan. There are also cases where the dragon mother is given priority to or worshipped next to it. This shows that the dragon mother culture originated from Duyang precipitation has already spread all over Yunfu, and the dragon mother culture in Yunfu is quite profound. Looking forward to the future, the dragon mother culture can become the cultural business card of Yunfu City, providing power for excavating and promoting the excellent local culture of Yunfu!
