Langgong Mountain, also known as Mangong Mountain, is located at the north of Gaoping City 15km in Jincheng City, Shanxi Province, and belongs to Shennong Town. It is the boundary mountain between Gaoping City and Zhangzi County in Changzhi City. Yangtou Mountain in the east, Baotou Beiling in Lu Yong Township in the west, Zhangjiashan in the south and Zhangzi County in the north, with an altitude of1281m. This mountain peak is steep and steep, rising and shrugging, antique, and it is a place to find incense and enjoy the scenery.
There is a dragon cave on Langgong Mountain, called Black Dragon Cave, which is hundreds of steps deep. There is a cold spring in the cave, which is biting cold. Every drought, I pray for rain in the cave. According to legend, in ancient times, there were three brothers, Gong Xian, Ye Gong and Lang Gong, each occupying a hill and being occupied by Lang Gong, hence the name Lang Gong Mountain.
According to legend, Cang Xie is the historian of the Yellow Emperor and the inventor of Chinese characters, so Cang Xie is also called "the emperor in history". Cang Xie is an important figure in the legendary period of our country, and once played an important role in the social development of our country. However, Mr Bi Jianyi thinks that Cang Xie is not a historian in the era of the Yellow Emperor, but a generation of emperors after Shennong.
Bi also affirmed that Yangtou Mountain is a place where Shennong grows grain, and linked it with Shennong. Can we think that Shennong wrote The Eight Ears Book because of the auspiciousness of Yangtou Mountain, and Shennong wanted to write a book, so Cang Xie wrote lyrics for it because of Shennong's words?
Cang Xie was a man of Huangdi, Shennong and Fuxi, and Cang Xie spanned Fuxi, Shennong and Huangdi.
Langgong Mountain has beautiful scenery and steep peaks, giving people a feeling of vigor and heroism. Looking at Yangtou Mountain in the east, you can see it as far as the eye can see. Shennong planted grains, which solved the problem of people's eating; Cangjie created Chinese characters, which opened the source of Chinese characters. There is a flat land on the top of the mountain, more than 3000 square meters. At first, a Cang Xie Temple was built, but it was destroyed. When the temple was built is unknown, but it is full of thorns and weeds, and the destroyed temple foundation is hidden in weeds. Several pieces of remnant steles were found in the ruins, one of which was engraved with the words "Long Weng, Gucang Ye Jie". Another stone tablet is engraved with the words "Yan Di Society", which refers to the Yan Di Temple in Arrow Village. There is a monument of "Xuan Di Temple Built" on its base site, which shows that its mountain is also dedicated to Emperor Xuanwu of the North. The inscription on the tablet reads: "The address of Cang Xie God, tied with a rope from the poor left, opens the source of eternal peace, and is far away", which was engraved in the third year of the apocalypse of tomorrow.
Therefore, Langgong Mountain is the main place to worship Cang Xie. The mountain god of Wolf Mountain is Yan Di, and the mountain god of Yangtou Mountain is Yan Di. According to local people, there is a female statue in the main hall of Cang Xie Temple. Legend has it that this woman won it from Yangtou Mountain. One day, the mountain gods of Langgong Mountain and Yangtou Mountain made a bet for some reason. What's the bet? Whoever loses will get a woman. As a result, the mountain god of Yangtou Mountain lost. Because the girl lost the bet, she felt that she had a bad reputation and didn't want to go with the mountain god of Langgong Mountain. Because this girl is clever, she not only helps Emperor Yan plow the fields in Yangtoushan, but also can interpret gossip and create words, so Emperor Yan is reluctant to let this girl go. The mountain gods of Langgong Mountain forcibly took the girl away, and when they left, they trampled down a piece of grass in the west of Shennong City. Since then, a meadow in the west of Shennong City has been growing obliquely to the west. Now, you can still see this strange natural landscape in Shennong City, Yangtou Mountain.
After the girl arrived at Langgong Mountain, she helped Langgong create Chinese characters and made great contributions all over the world. Because of this girl's outstanding contribution, she made a special statue in the hall, which was enshrined by the world. Although this is a legendary story, it also shows that Yangtou Mountain and Langgong Mountain have an unusual relationship. Yangtoushan is the place where Shennong tasted grains and taught crops. Yangtou Mountain is connected with Langgong Mountain, not far away. It can be said that Langgong Mountain must also be the place where Shennong often moves, and Cang Xie the Great created the great myth of word creation here.
200 meters south of Langgong Mountain, there is a thousand Buddha caves on the steep cliff, which is called "the mouth of Huang San". "Huang San" refers to Fuxi, Nuwa and Shennong. It can be seen that Langgong Mountain is not only the main place to worship Cang Xie, but also the main place to worship Shennong.
Besides building a temple on Langgong Mountain to worship Cang Xie, there are also the Cangjie Temple in Fu Shang and Dongzhuang in Lu Yong Township. Cang Xie Temple in Dongzhuang Village has five main halls, several east and west wings, and three stages in the south. There are two circular ticket gates on both sides of the stage, east and west, and there are two stone carvings above the arch ticket, which are "making words with paintings" and "starting from six books". Yongzheng nine years (173 1), carved stone. These two stone carvings have profound implications. "Creating words by painting" means that Cang Xie hunted for the emperor in the south, and Gui Ling wrote a book to reward the emperor. The "six books" refer to the characters, pictographs, sounds, meanings, notes and borrowings of things. From the depiction symbols on painted pottery in Neolithic Age to the formation of Oracle Bone Inscriptions in Shang and Zhou Dynasties, it is a very mature writing. Beautiful square characters are magnificent, and now there are more than 60 thousand in the font library.
In the era of Cang Xie, the primitive agricultural production in China has developed into an important economic base of the society at that time, and ploughing agriculture is the main mode of production. Shennong planted grains and invented millet, which became the main grain crop at that time. In the late Neolithic period, Dawenkou and Banpo's Wen Tao should be the earliest Chinese characters, five or six thousand years ago. The original Chinese characters were mainly used for sacrificial ceremonies, totem signs and information transmission. It is said that Shennong wrote Sui Shu, which is the earliest book to record farming. Chinese characters originated from pictures, from Fuxi to Yaoshun, and then to Chinese characters gradually formed in Shang and Zhou Dynasties, and experienced a long development era. The Chinese characters we are talking about are named after the Han Dynasty. From Oracle Bone Inscriptions, bronze inscriptions, big seal script, small seal script, official script and regular script to the Chinese characters we use today.
Yangtou Mountain in Gaoping is the activity place of Emperor Yan, the origin of primitive agriculture in China, the birthplace of Chinese civilization and the pioneering place of Chinese characters. Before the Yellow Emperor, characters were already used in the Yan Emperor's time, so there was the saying that Cangjie created characters "It rains every day, and the ghosts cry at night", so Cang Xie's words must be related to the historical fact that Yan Di Shennong planted grains. In Gaoping, not only the belief and worship of Emperor Yan was formed, but also the belief and worship of others was formed.
