Baiyun Mountain is a famous mountain in Guangzhou, covering an area of 28 square kilometers, and the highest peak, Moxingling, is 382 meters above sea level. The mountain is not high, if there is a fairy, it will be named. Here, the peaks are green, the streams are vertical and horizontal, and the grotesque canyon is beautiful. When the wind and rain change, looking at the top of the mountain, the white clouds and green hills are shrouded in the vast sea of clouds, and the white clouds are wrapped in silver, hence the name \ x0d \ \x0d\ The history of this famous mountain in South Guangdong is related to the myth of An Qisheng. In 2 14 BC, after Qin unified Lingnan, he was appointed as the prefect of Nanhai County. Ren Xiao built a Panyu City (now Guangzhou) under Baiyun Mountain. \x0d\ Legend has it that an alchemist named Zheng Anqi (also known as An Qisheng) came to South Guangdong from the coast of the East China Sea. When he saw that many soldiers from the south and Zhou people living in Panyu were ill because of acclimatization or poor living environment, he settled in Baiyun Mountain and collected many herbs to treat the people. According to legend, Jiulong Spring is the place where Anzhen's nine boys (the embodiment of Kowloon) were born, and Baiyun Cave is its hometown. On the 25th day of the seventh lunar month, \x0d\ he went to the brook of Baiyun Mountain to collect a precious herb-Pucao Jiujie. He waded through the rock to Yunyan. After many searches, he finally found a nine-section calamus on the cliff. \x0d\ He is climbing vines, attached to kudzu vine and reaching for nine calamus. Suddenly, the wild vine broke and he accidentally fell into the rock. Just on the edge of falling into the bottomless abyss, a white cloud suddenly rose from the cliff and became a crane. \x0d\ Ran Ran ascended to heaven. Later, in memory of An Qisheng, Yunyan Temple was built on the mountain, \x0d\ there was a "Feixian Station in peacetime". A big stone that suddenly flies in the air nearby is called "Crane Tower". On the 25th day of the seventh lunar month, Guangzhou citizens came to Yunyan Temple to offer sacrifices to An Qisheng, who gave his life for all beings. "On Yunshan Road, there is an endless stream of men and women." . Poets of past dynasties left many cliff stone carvings here. The temple was destroyed by the Japanese invaders in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, but the ruins \x0d\ cliff are all there, next to the stone archway of the first peak today. \x0d\ Baiyun Mountain is a scenic spot in Guangzhou, where many monks, scholars and celebrities build temples, pavilions and pavilions as places for self-cultivation, governing the country and learning to teach.
