[Yongzhou City] Huolongjing Community is "alive" | Feel the living atmosphere of the old railway community

🎄The first time I came to Yongzhou on a business trip, I discovered a community close to the railway during the Citywalk. When I chatted with the neighbors, I learned that in just over three years, this typical old railway community has erased the label of "dirty, messy and poor" and transformed into a "net celebrity check-in spot." A small community embodies the humanity and liveliness of this city. Most of the roads in the community have been converted into asphalt roads. As you walk and take pictures, you will find that there are many murals and wishing trees in the community. Many small workshops and cultural and creative shops are worth visiting. 📍Huolongjing Community in Lengshuitang, Yongzhou was the community with the highest concentration of railway workers in the mid-20th century. With the changes of the times, it once became a forgotten old community. Now after renovation, Huolongjing has regained its vitality and become a popular check-in spot for people in Yongzhou to cherish their homesickness and pursue their dreams. The micro-film "Children of Jianghu, Guarding Homesickness" tells you a true story with a sense of age. Among the Yongzhou people who once set out, pursued their dreams, and returned home, there are you, me, and him... The Legend of Huolongjing 👉🏻 According to the "Yongzhou Prefecture Records", during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, Lü Huo (Lü Huo, courtesy name Chenqing, alias Rizhou, from Lingling) who was a high-ranking official from other places, was a Jinshi in the Renxu year of the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty (1562), and served as the Right Censor-in-Chief of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, an important official of the court. member. ) visited Lingling and saw that the farmland in Lingling was barren and the people were starving, so he went to the people to learn about the situation. 👉🏻The common people said: It was all caused by an evil dragon in the Xiaoshui River. Legend has it that this evil dragon in the Xiaoshui River is lazy and gluttonous, and only does bad things. In the first half of every year, it would participate in the martial arts competition held in the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea. The Dragon King stipulated that any dragon that won a fight could stay in the East China Sea to become a spirit and enjoy the wealth and glory in the Dragon Palace, while the dragon that lost would return to its original place to continue its cultivation. 👉🏻Once, this evil dragon participated in a competition and lost miserably. He fell heavily from the sky and landed on the beach of Xiangjiang River in Lengshuitan. He was covered with wounds and was dying. Suddenly, a Feng Shui master appeared beside the evil dragon and said to him, "Yongzhou is a dragon land. If you can mend your ways and benefit the people, I can save you. Are you willing?" The evil dragon gasped and pleaded, "Sir, if you can save me, I will definitely repay the people!" The master then took holy water from a well and fed it to the evil dragon. After drinking it, the evil dragon's wounds gradually healed and he immediately recovered his vitality. The master said, "Words are not enough. If you repent, I will build a tower to suppress it!" 👉🏻 In order to enable the people of his hometown to live and work in peace and contentment, Lü Huo, the then governor, generously donated a large sum of money and invited skilled craftsmen to build a pagoda on the east bank of the Xiaoshui River. 👉🏻 After that, the evil dragon became much more docile. It devoted itself to cultivating itself and no longer stirred up trouble. It also did a lot of good things for the people of Yongzhou. Whenever there was a rainstorm or flood, it would actively dredge the river to drain water. Whenever there was a drought and crops needed rain, it would seize the opportunity to suck the Xiao River into its belly, then fly to the heaven and spit it out to irrigate the dry crops and trees, making the people of Yongzhou rich in grain and lush in forests. 👉🏻The Dragon King of the East China Sea learned that the little dragon had done many good things for the people, and wanted to summon it back to the Dragon Palace to become a spirit. On the day when Xiaolong returned to the East China Sea, people prepared three animals and nine gifts to see him off. 👉🏻Because of Yongzhou's unique mountains and waters and its abundant natural resources, the little dragon was reluctant to leave, so it returned to the well that brought it back to life, shaking its head and tail to show its gratitude. When it swam to Xiangkou Pavilion, the little dragon popped its head out of the water, turned around to look at the pagoda standing in the sun, and then went to the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea. 👉🏻 Later, people called this ancient well "Living Dragon Well" and this pagoda "Huilong Pagoda".
