legend

It is said that in ancient times, there was a crucian carp who would go to the Yellow River to jump "Longmen" every year. It is said that as long as a fish can jump over the "Dragon Gate", it can become a dragon. Crucian carp of course also want to become a dragon, so never miss the chance to jump. But it does not know how many times to jump, always can not jump past, how it envies the carp that has jumped the dragon's gate! So he went to consult the immortal, and the immortal told him: "you must do a good thing for the world, accumulate merits, and then you can jump over the dragon's gate. "How can we do a good thing for the world?" As it swam, it thought. Unconsciously, it swam to the Huangshan Mountain, which is known as the "Yellow Sea". When it saw that the road leading to Tiandu peak was cut off by a canyon, blocked by clouds and water, and visitors could not climb it. He turned his head and said to himself, "how much a bridge is needed here!" So, he was in the cloud water between the canyons, and raised his back to be a bridge for tourists. A hundred years have passed, and I don't know how many tourists walk on its back to enjoy the boundless scenery of Tiandu peak. One day, the fairy who instructed it suddenly came to Tiandu peak. Said to it: "small crucian carp, you have accumulated merits and virtues, you can go to jump into the dragon." But at this time, the little crucian carp changed his mind. He was willing to serve the tourists of tiandufeng all his life, and he didn't want to jump "Longmen" any more.
