1. The Legend of Carp Jumping at the Dragon Gate
The Dragon Gate is located about 65 kilometers south of Hukou Waterfall, at the southernmost tip of the Shanxi-Shaanxi Gorge. To the south of Longmen is the open and flat Guanzhong Plain. The water of the Yellow River suddenly entered the wide riverbed from the narrow Longmenkou, and the river property changed greatly. The formation of Longmen is that Longmen Mountain in the east and Liangshan Mountain in the west each extend out of the ridge, close to each other, forming a narrow mouth only 1 meters wide, like a giant clamp, which binds the river and forms a swift current.
Every flood season, due to the high water level in the gorge, after leaving the canyon, the river valley suddenly widens and the water level suddenly drops, so there is an obvious water level difference in Longmen, so there is a saying that "Longmen falls into water three times". The story of "carp jumping at the dragon gate" passed down from generation to generation refers to the water falling here.
Second,
The Yellow River flows rapidly in Sangyuan Gorge, but there is a big stone standing in the rapids of the Yellow River in the middle of Sangyuan Gorge. People call it the general column. Legend has it that this general column was built by Lu Ban.
When Lu Ban traveled around the world, he came to the edge of Sangyuan Gorge to facilitate people on both sides of the strait. Lu Ban chose the location of the pier in this place of the general column. From then on, Lu Ban went out early and returned late, and was responsible for the construction. After half a year, the pier grew taller.
One day, Lu Ban's wife brought food to the shore. After waiting for a while, she didn't see Lu Ban, so she went to the shore to have a look. Unexpectedly, she saw a giant standing in the river with a boulder in one hand and a hammer in the other, and his wife exclaimed. Ruban panicked and a hammer hit his leg. The stone in hand also flew to the other side of the mountain, and the bridge was not built.
Up to now, there is a very smooth stone on the general column, which seems to be imprinted on the back of the whole person, and the spine is in the middle, which divides the stone in two, as if it was left by resting for a long time. Legend has it that this is what Lu Ban left when he built the bridge.

Suddenly, the river rose. He panicked, slipped, fell in the Yellow River and was drowned alive.
After Feng Yi's death, she was full of grievances and resentments. She hated the Yellow River with her teeth gnashing, and went to the Jade Emperor to tell him about it. The Jade Emperor was also annoyed when he heard that the Yellow River was undisciplined and ran wild everywhere, endangering the people. He saw that Feng Yi had been sucking the juice of daffodils for ninety-nine days, and it was time to become an immortal, so he asked Feng Yi if he would like to be the water god of the Yellow River and govern the Yellow River. Feng Yi was overjoyed. Realize your wish to become an immortal. Become a Hebo.

Suddenly, two men climbed up from the river and threw their fists at King Chuang. clear voice said, "Your Majesty, we are boatmen of the Yellow River.
