When it comes to Jiangxi, many people will think of the world cultural heritage Lushan, and today's "Charm of Jiangxi" will tell you about the name of Lushan.
Lushan Mountain is a famous mountain in the world, a mountain flying between the rivers and lakes, full of clouds and mist, steaming. Bai Juyi once said that Kuang Luqi showed the world. So why is this mountain called Lushan? As early as 126 BC, Sima Qian traveled to Lushan, and later wrote in the "Book of River Canals": "Yu Nan deng LuShan, Guan Yu Shu Jiujiang", which is the first appearance of the name Lushan, which has a history of more than 2,000 years.
There are three main kinds of names in Lushan, the first legend as early as the Zhou Dynasty, there was a person named Kuang Customs in Lushan To learn the Tao and seek immortals, Zhou Tianzi knew his deeds, repeatedly asked him to come out of the mountains to help, and Kuang Customs all sneaked into the mountains, escaping, and then Kuang Customs disappeared without a trace, legend has become immortals and gone, so people will call the place where Kuang Customs live as the Immortals' Lu, so the name Lushan. Another legend is also that during the Zhou Dynasty, a man named Fang Fu and Lao Zi Li Er rode a white donkey into the mountain to refine Dan, and both of them had to become immortals, so there was only an empty lu on the mountain, and people went to Lucun, so this mountain was also called Lushan. The third legend is still a vulgar story, but the time and plot are different. This legend is that in the early Han Dynasty, Kuang's father, King Dongye, once assisted Liu Bang in pacifying the world, but unfortunately died. In recognition of the merits of King Dongye, the imperial court enfeoffed his son Kuang Fu to govern part of present-day Poyang County. Yue LuJun Kuang was fond of Taoism, abandoned his official position and entered the mountains, and learned the Tao and sought immortality. This mountain where Yue Lujun learned to seek immortality was called Lushan Mountain. These three legends are all related to the immortals, and the mysterious clouds and mist of Lushan Mountain and the mysterious legends have always been talked about by people.
So the reason why Lushan really got its name, there are two different views. Some people think that the name of Lushan is named because of the shape of the mountain, and Lu is Lushe. Lushan Mountain stands majestically above the vast Plain of Poyang Lake, surrounded by itself is very handsome, and in the middle of the mountain is a concave shape, so it is called a furnace. Of course, some people think that the naming of Lushan Mountain has a historical basis, the north bank of the Yangtze River in the Lushan area, that is, today's Hefei, Anhui Province, in ancient times, there was indeed a Luzi state, in the Spring and Autumn Warring States period Luzi state became part of the Chu state, and then the scope of Luyi gradually expanded to the south, and the mountain in his territory was named Lushan.
Nowadays, with the rapid development of tourism, Lushan has been opened from a closed summer resort in the past to a holy place for tourism, and the reputation of Lushan has spread farther. "I don't know the true face of Lushan Mountain, only because I am in this mountain", when we want to personally climb Lushan Mountain and enjoy the beautiful scenery of "looking across the mountain side into peaks, far and near different heights", we may wish to first understand the "true face" of Lushan Mountain's name.
