The fairy aunt is the only female fairy among the Eight Immortals, and her story is well known throughout the country. According to the records of many books and records, He Xiangu was from Xiangui Village, Xiaolou Town, Zengcheng, Guangdong. Born in the second year of Kaiyao in the Tang Dynasty (682), her original name was He Xiugu. Her father was He Tai and her mother was Ji, who made a living by making and selling tofu. When Xiugu was born, purple clouds surrounded the room and white light shone. She loved reading poetry and books since she was a child, never put down her books, and remembered everything she read. She was diligent and filial. At the age of thirteen or fourteen, she helped her parents grind tofu and do housework. She was also polite and virtuous, and was highly praised by villagers and neighbors. When she was fifteen, Xiugu dreamed of a white-bearded old man who told her that there were mica flakes opposite the Mica Creek in front of the village. Grinding it into powder and mixing it with water to eat can make you immortal and fly in the air. After Xiugu ate it, she gradually felt light and could fly. She was happy and often flew to Luofu Mountain to pick fruits for her mother. In Luofu Mountain, she worshipped the fairy Magu as her teacher. The story of Xiu Gu flying to the sky was reported to the court. Wu Zetian wanted to obtain the elixir of immortality, so she ordered Xiu Gu to be brought into the palace to teach the dharma. As soon as the imperial edict arrived, dozens of officials carried a sedan chair to pick up the person. He Tai had only one daughter, and he held on to her tightly. The officials robbed her, and He Tai was pushed down. He hit his head against the edge of the well and bled. Ji Shi helped her husband and cried. At this time, Xiu Gu shouted to her mother, "Take care, mother." A white light rose from the ground, and the officials were startled and scattered. Xiu Gu ascended to become an immortal. From then on, Xiu Gu was called the Immortal. In Zengcheng, Longmen, and Boluo, there are many legends and historical sites about He Xiangu. It can be said that He Xiangu has been integrated into the lives of the people of Zenglongbo for thousands of years and has become a spiritual sustenance for the people of Zenglongbo. The main historical sites and related legends are: 1. The legend of Gualv lychee. Lychee is the king of fruits, and Gualv is the king of kings. One was auctioned at a sky-high price of 555,000 yuan. There is only one Gualü, unlike other lychees that can be planted in large numbers. Since it was designated as a tribute during the reign of Emperor Kangxi, it took hundreds of years to plant 72 second-generation trees, and the quality is far from satisfactory. Zengcheng people believe that Gualü is a sacred thing. The biggest feature of Gualü lychees is that there is a green line on the shell, which is the green ribbon left by He Xiangu when she wove embroidered shoes for her parents before going to Penglai to "cross the sea with the eight immortals". All signs indicate that the story of He Xiangu originated in Zengcheng. Zengcheng people, through their rich imagination, have woven a beautiful legend of "He Xiangu and Gualü", leaving a precious cultural heritage for Zengcheng and even the whole country, which is of extraordinary value. 2 He Xiangu's Family Temple. Built in the Ming Dynasty and rebuilt in the eighth year of Emperor Xianfeng's reign in the Qing Dynasty, it is the main place for worshiping He Xiangu, and people from the entire Pearl River Delta come to worship. An ancient well in the temple is said to have been used by the He family to make tofu. The octagonal granite well edge is engraved with "The fairy source trickles, and those who drink it will live forever". The water is sweet and refreshing. A fairy peach grows on the roof of the temple. It has luxuriant branches and leaves and bears fruit year after year even though no one waters it. People call it "fairy peach". In addition, in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, the trend of offering sacrifices to the fairy was set off. Nearly ten temples were built in the county, including Paitan Fairy Temple, Xiancun Fairy Temple, Heshatou Village Fairy Temple, Shalong Fairy Temple, and Zhengguo Hewu Fairy Temple. There is also a He Fairy Temple in Yonghan, Longmen. 3 Baishuizhai Waterfall. Because it looks like a dancing beauty in ancient costume from a distance, people have always believed that it is the incarnation of He Xiangu and call it "Baishuixian Waterfall". There are seven hills upstream of the source of the waterfall, which look like seven sleeping old men. Legend has it that the seven fairies are waiting for He Xiangu to go to Penglai in the East China Sea together. They waited too long and fell asleep, turning into seven hills, so it is named Qixiandun, now known as Qixian Lake. On the broken wall of Shuzhu Temple in Luofu Mountain, Boluo, there was a poem written by He Xiangu describing Baishuixian Waterfall: "White water curtains fly white rainbows, and the sound of shengxiao and pine and cypress talk about the wind in the sky." 4 Panlong Ancient Vine. 300 meters away from He Xiangu's ancestral temple, there is a strange thousand-year-old vine, which is wrapped around an old banyan tree like a giant snake. Legend has it that the fairy and Tieguai Li fought here, and the fairy's belt wrapped around Tieguai Li's walking stick. Now the vine is green and the tree is dead, and the soft overcomes the hard.
