Where did the story of Yong Dong and the Seven Fairies take place?

Xixi, an ancient town built in the mid-Western Han Dynasty, has a legendary story of Yong Dong and the Seven Fairies. However, the legend of place names related to this legend has been talked about by local people for a long time.

There is a small village called Dongjiashe in the northwest corner of Xixi Town. According to legend, Yong Dong was born in this village in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty. As early as the Southern Song Dynasty, Yu Fang Sheng Lan recorded: "Xixi Town, Hailing, the former residence of Yong Dong, the son of the Han Dynasty."

Qing Jiaqing's "Dongtai County Records" recorded in detail: "Han Yong Dong was born in Xixi Town, his father died, and he had no place to die. He borrowed 10,000 yuan from others and became a servant himself ...". Therefore, there is a certain basis for saying that "Dong" is related.

There is a pond in the north of Xixi Town, which is called "Phoenix Pond". In the past, the water in the pond was rippling and crystal clear. Legend has it that the seven daughters of the Queen Mother often come here to take a bath. Legend has it that the seven fairies were deeply moved by Yong Dong's diligence and filial piety. One day, with the help of all her sisters, the place where they descended by crane and the seven fairies descended by crane was named "Hetulun", which is Shedong Village in Tainan Town today. Dongzhuang is called "Hedong" and Xizhuang is called "Hexi".

After the seven fairies came down to earth, they met Yong Dong at the mouth of Shili River in the south of Xixi, and then they became close friends under an old pagoda tree near the mouth of Shili River. Over time, the village next to Shilihekou has also become a "Hekou" village (now Tainan Town).

There is an ancient well named "Silk Reeling Well" in the backyard of Xixi West Guangfu Temple. It will not dry up in a drought year. According to legend, when the seven fairies were redeemed, they drew water and spun silk for the home of Elder Cao. Qing Jiaqing's "Dongtai County Records" contains: "The wellhead is small and medium, and the food is extremely sweet. It won't dry up when it is dry. Every spring, the roots of the well grow more than a foot, and people think that fairies paint clouds. "
