In the third year of Tianbao, the princess wrote to Xuanzong to voluntarily give up her name and all the property rents given by the emperor, asking for a ten-year extension of her life. The emperor followed her, and in the first year of Tang Yizong King's reign, she was given the concept of "prolonging her life", and the princess lived in seclusion here for 50 years.

female springs

Huanv Spring is located on the plateau of the remaining vein of Zhongnanshan Mountain, about 1 km west of the platform. It is named after two ancient well springs. The two springs are arranged in the north and south, with a distance of less than 1 meter. The diameters of the two springs are about 60 cm, and the depth of the spring is about 3 meters. The spring water is pure and sweet, refreshing, full of water and never exhausted. According to legend, Xu Jia, a disciple of Lao Zi, was a beautiful man. One day, Lao Zi and Xu Jia came here on a mountain tour. Lao Zi pulled auspicious grass and turned it into a gentle and graceful beauty to test Xu Jia's practice kung fu.

There was a small pavilion next to the pool, and a monument in neutrality said "Shangshan Pool". According to legend, in the twentieth year of Yuan Shizu to Yuan Dynasty (1283), there were numerous deaths during the week. Lao Zi, a dream of Zhang Zhijian in Louguan Prison, said: There is spring water outside the mountain gate to cure the epidemic, and the Taoist priest who suffered from the water test proved to be effective. The news spread that patients from all directions came to take water to cure the epidemic, and a dangerous plague was quickly put out. Later, Zhao Mengfu, a great calligrapher with a bachelor's degree in Hanlin, visited Louguan and heard about this strange thing, so he wrote the book "On".

Alchemy furnace

In the south of the platform, a peak stands, reaching the sky. According to legend, this mountain was the place where Laozi and Yin Xi made an alchemy, hence the name "alchemy peak".

The clang of the buckle makes a metallic sound. Legend has it that Laozi came to Louguan to teach the method of alchemy and personally burned the elixir. At that time, all the facilities in his house were complete, except for a stone plate for grinding medicine, which must be the lingshi in the epoch-making era. Later, Laozi personally borrowed a stone left over from the The goddess patching the sky Palace, and later the Taoist priest moved it to the lecture platform, which was a treasure of the town, and tourists knocked on it to avoid disaster and get sick.

The newly expanded area was vast, the scale was magnificent, the halls and pavilions were towering, the buildings were three different, colorful, and the golden walls shone brightly, and the mountains and rivers added color to it, and the sun and the moon added luster to it. He also went down to the marsh as the "Zongsheng Palace" to take Laozi, the ancestor and sage.

Legend has it that the Golden Yuan and the Golden Yuan competed against each other, and the Louguantai was greatly damaged, and the temple was destroyed. The courtyard was deserted, and the Taoist priests fled away, and thieves frequently disturbed it. One day, the founder of Zhengyang left this place and fell asleep in the shade of the sacred palace. Suddenly, nine old people came to ask for an audience, saying that we were all Louguantaoists, and our ancestors were in decline for a long time, and there were local ruffians harassing us. We asked the founder to decide and wake up.

Three eagle cypress

When Yin Xi watched the celestial phenomena, he saw the purple gas coming from the east. Later, he derived such great events as "the encounter between the holy and the true, and the giving and receiving of the second classics". This building was called "Ziyun Building" one by one.

The description of "Going out from Nanshan to Gully, going north to Dalingxi, known as Laozi's Tomb" in the Notes on Shuijing by Li Daoyuan in the Northern Wei Dynasty is consistent with the local topography, hydrology and the names of Jiuyugou, Jiuyuhe and Daling Mountain, which is suitable for the Zhou Dynasty.

Twelve halls

The Twelfth Hall is located in Tuanbiao Valley behind Dingkong Temple. It is said that in the last years of Sui Dynasty, the world was in chaos and the people were in poverty. A group of refugees came to the Bodhisattva Garden after being chased by bandits. However, because the temple was too small to accommodate these refugees, the temple host asked them to hide in Tuanbiao Valley behind the temple.

As a result, a large number of civilian workers drove into the Qinling Mountains to cut down wood. The craftsmen found a jujube pine with a length of 90 feet on the mountain, which was the most suitable for the nine purlins of the Golden Temple. When Xiao He learned about this, he asked the craftsmen to cut down the wood, but it was a problem to transport it. Since ancient times, Heihe River has been transported by water. However, due to the narrow bend of Heihe River, small pieces of wood are acceptable, and large pieces of wood cannot be transported. At this time, the black river dragon king showed his true self and rolled the wood vertically in the water and transported it out of the mountains with his dragon tail. Liu Bang's golden urn was built, but the Black River Dragon King made an eye blind by overexertion. Liu Bang personally sealed it in recognition of the Dragon King's achievements, and the Black River Dragon King did not drag the mill or drill holes.

Its mountain shape resembles a stone building that stands in the sky and is adjacent to Louguantai, so it is called "Shilouguan". According to records, during the Five Dynasties and the Northern Song Dynasty, Tan Qiao, a well-known Taoist scholar, lived in seclusion and practiced here. He became a teacher and friend with Chen Tuan, and wrote a book "Hua Shu", which was a pioneer of Taoism. His achievements were outstanding and he was listed as the "four sons of Taoism" in Louguan Taoist altar. At the same time, Li Qi, Lu Dongbing, Taoist Mayi and Chen Zhuan often come to this party.
