The origin of the name of Chuanlongxia

Chuanlongxia is deep in the bamboo forest of Nankun Mountain, and there is a canyon. At the end of the canyon, a cliff stands, and the word "Chuanlongxia" inscribed by the famous calligrapher Qin Jisheng is engraved on the wall. Zhuanquan passes through a cave shaped like a faucet, and flies straight down a deep pool, which is spectacular. Standing on the pavilion next to the canyon and looking at the waterfall, I still feel cool in summer. Chuanlongxia, formerly known as Shi Xia. Legend has it that in the past, there was a great drought in Shi Xia, and the stones on the mountain were burned by the scorching sun, and the bamboo and wood were almost yellow. The villagers are all anxious and complaining. After discussion, the old people in the village called men, women and children to burn incense at the foot of Shixia Mountain for rain. Coincidentally, a god drove through the clouds and saw this terrible situation on earth, so he returned to heaven and told the king about it. The heavenly king then sent Poseidon to the East China Sea and ordered the Dragon King to rescue the mountain people from danger. Soon, the Dragon King appointed a Sichuan waterspout to carry out this law. As a result, the water dragon jumped out of the sea and went straight to Shixia Mountain, aiming at the burning boulder and hitting it violently. At the moment, there are thunder and lightning and dark clouds. Then the rain poured down. Chuanshuilong also turned into a waterfall and stayed in the mountains to relieve the suffering of the mountain people.

Since then, Shixia Mountain has lush trees and green bamboo. Later generations named this place "Chuanshuilong", and Shi Xia was also called "Chuanlongxia".
