The content of the legend:
During the Jin Dynasty, Wu Xiu was the secretariat of Guangzhou, but before he took office, five immortals rode five-color sheep and came to the hall of guangzhou fu with food on their backs. Wu Xiu painted five immortals in the hall to show auspicious commemoration, and called Guangzhou the "Five Immortals City". Wuxian Temple on Huifu West Road in Guangzhou is said to be the place where the Five Immortals came. In order to commemorate the Five Immortals, Guangzhou people specially built the Five Immortals Temple there. There are statues of the Five Immortals and Five Sheep in the main hall. In order to thank the five immortals, the people of Guangzhou built a Wudang Five Immortals Temple where they came from.
There is a statue of five immortals in the view, accompanied by a stone statue of five sheep. The five immortals are also called the Valley God. "Five immortals ride sheep and give ears of rice" is a very beautiful story, and the history of building temples according to this story goes back to ancient times.
Extended data
The earliest "proof" of Wuyang legend is the Five Immortals View in Guangzhou. In the Northern Song Dynasty, Shixianfang (now Renguang Road, Provincial Department of Finance) had a temple dedicated to five immortals. During the period of Jiading in the Southern Song Dynasty, he moved to Chi Pan, near the West Lake Jade Liquid, that is, today's West Lake Road, which is called Fengzhen View. At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, it moved to Renguang Road, but it was destroyed by fire in the first year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1368), and moved to Broken Mountain in the tenth year of Hongwu (1377).
In the fifth year of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty (1469), it was rebuilt in the first year of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty (1723). In the Republic of China 12 (1923), Guangzhou City Hall held an auction to prepare for the military pay and dismiss the Taoist priests in the Pass. After the founding of New China, it was managed by the cultural relics department and opened to the outside world after renovation in the 1980s. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, "Dong Tian in Sui Dynasty" and "Cave in Wuxia" were listed as one of the eight scenic spots in Yangcheng.
/kloc-0 was listed as a municipal cultural relics protection unit in March 1963, and/kloc-0 was promoted to a cultural relics protection unit in Guangdong province in June 1989. At present, there are five immortals sculptures in Wudang Five Immortals Temple, accompanied by five sheep statues, and five immortals are regarded as "Valley Gods". There is also a huge red sandstone in the view, with a dent more than one meter long, which looks like a footprint and is called "immortal thumb print".
