Idiom story 1
Immortal guidance
Located at the intersection of Yungu Temple and Pippen. On the peak stands a strange stone, which looks like a fairy in a cassock. He holds it up with one hand, which seems to lead tourists into the leather shed, hence the name "Xiandaoshi", also known as "Xiandaofeng". It is famous not only for its similar appearance, but also for its inspiring stories.
According to legend, a long time ago, there was a child prodigy who could read at the age of two and practiced martial arts at the age of four. Because I was frustrated in the examination room, I was injured in the ring, and I switched to business and lost my money. Desperate, he went to Huangshan to find a teacher to visit immortals. I don't know. I've traveled all over Qian Shan, and I haven't even seen a drug farmer or a woodcutter. When the dry food was finished, the wild fruit was swallowed, and the clothes were covered with bark and leaves. Gradually become skinny, and one day finally fainted on the side of the road, dying.
I don't know how long it will take, but an old man with a basket on his back and boots on his feet woke up the prodigy. After asking about the situation, the old man smiled and said, "How can cleverness be cheated?" Where there are no immortals, hurry home and find a powerful job, so that you won't leave your life in this barren mountain to feed wolves, tigers and leopards for nothing. "After that, I also sent some wild fruits to a child prodigy to eat on the road. The prodigy thought that the old man's words were right, so he said goodbye to the old man with gratitude.
Not far away, I suddenly realized: "I have traveled all over the mountain and have never even seen anyone." The old man is obviously a fairy. " He chased after the old man and begged him to show him how to live forever. The old man said, "I am not a fairy." To tell the truth, I was ruined by fame and fortune in my first half of my life, so I saw through the world of mortals and hid here. "A child prodigy with a grain of salt, but see the old man look extraordinary, determined to worship him as a teacher, begged. Unexpectedly, when I looked up again, the old man became a tall and burly "immortal guiding stone". The prodigy kowtowed before the stone again, and suddenly a voice came from the stone man's stomach: "I have traveled all over Huangshan, but I blame fame and fortune for hiding my heart." I advise you to take the hard-working road and let you live as a fairy all your life. "
The prodigy finally listened to the fairy's words, and not only got married in the second half of his life, but also lived a very red life. No wonder Cao wrote in a poem: "Everything is so lovely and wrong, and everything is vague. Please come out of the mountain and show the way everywhere. " Looking up at the stone bridge one kilometer north of Rensheng Pavilion, the fairy showed the way to the stone. Shaped like a magpie, there is a pine tree next to it, which looks like Gu Mei, and the turquoise matches the scenery, so it is called "Magpie Climbing Plums".

Few tourists
This idiom is used to describe that there are very few guests.
Sima Qian, a famous historian and writer in the Western Han Dynasty, once wrote a biography for two ministers in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, one was Ji An and the other was Zheng Zhuang.
Ji An, a native of Puyang, was once a "prince washing horses" when he was Emperor Jingdi, a "satrap of the East China Sea" when he was Emperor Wudi, and then a "master teacher".
Originally from Chen, Emperor Jingdi was a "Sheren" and Emperor Wudi was a "Da Nong Ling". These two ministers are both honest officials. They used to rank among the nine ministers. They are famous, powerful and prestigious. People visiting their home are in an endless stream, coming in and out, very lively, and everyone is proud to make friends with them. But because they were too outspoken, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty later dismissed them. They lost their official position and power, and no one came to visit them anymore.
The Zhai Palace in Kaifeng used to be Ting Wei. When he was in office, the guests who visited his home were very crowded and packed. Later, when he was removed from office, no guests came to visit him. As a result, the door was cold enough to open a net to catch birds. The officialdom changed, and after a while, Zhai was reinstated. So, the guests want to visit him again. Cheng Gong was so impressed that he wrote a few words on the door: "You don't know friendship until you die; -poverty and wealth are a state of knowing each other; A duty is a shame, but friendship is a sight.
