Introduction to the origin of the name of Pengdian Township

Peng Zu (twenty-three years of Emperor Yao-twenty-three years of Yu) is famous for his long life. China is a legendary historical figure who is said to have lived for more than 880 years. He is the ancestor of China's longevity. He often travels around without riding a horse. According to legend, he passed Pengdian on his way home because he watched the spectacle of "The Yellow River has been clarified for 800 years". Because it was getting late and the sun was setting, he stayed in an inn and prepared to rest for one night. The next morning, when he walked to the intersection of Qinhe River (now Shuanghe River), Peng Zu found that there are four distinct seasons here. Flowers are blooming everywhere in the fields, trees are shaded, and colorful birds are chirping and cheering on the branches. Flowers and trees are fragrant, refreshing and refreshing. Peng Zu saw the beautiful scenery in front of him, the harmony between man and nature, the simple local folk customs and people's health. Peng Zu couldn't help feeling: "It's really a resort for practicing and strengthening the body! It's a gift from the gods! " So Peng Zu changed his mind about going home and decided to live and practice here. Since then, he has been wandering around the beautiful bimonthly river all day. One day, Peng Zu strolled along the Shuanghe River. As he walked, he thought about the secret of longevity. Although he is over 800 years old and has tried many methods, he is always puzzled by the lack of the best health care prescription. In Yanling, a magical place for health, he is eager to get an answer. May be walking for too long, walking, Peng Zu suddenly feel a little tired, spirit is a little trance, lying under the peach (cherry) tree. This is a peach blossom forest, and clusters of pink and snow-white flowers are blooming brilliantly. Hard-working bees are buzzing and busy collecting honey. Just as Peng Zu looked up, a cloud of pollen just fell into Peng Zu's mouth. After Peng Zu ate it, he only felt that the fragrance filled his heart and lungs, refreshing. For an instant, he felt refreshed, refreshed and bored. Isn't this the secret I'm looking for? Peng Zu was overjoyed and began to collect pollen. At the same time, Peng Zu traveled to every corner of Yanling on foot. He has eaten wild jujube, wild lotus and wild Sophora japonica. He is not afraid of danger. He personally tasted the leaves, flowers and fruits of the plants he found. When people saw Peng Zu getting stronger and younger, they all came to visit Peng Zu for advice on how to keep fit. Peng Zu told them the truth, so everyone followed suit. They all eat pollen, wild jujube, wild lotus, wild Sophora japonica and wild vegetables. While studying diet health, Peng Zu creatively put forward green health, which is the internal harmony between man and nature. In order to further develop these green plants and let more and more people live a healthy and long life, Peng Zu led Yanling people to reclaim wasteland on both sides of Shuanghe River, slash and burn, vigorously plant green fruit trees such as cherry, jujube and locust tree, and plant flowers such as lotus root, wintersweet and narcissus on barren land. Since then, Yanling has planted wintersweet, cherry, jujube and lotus root. In order to further summarize, summarize and popularize the secret of keeping in good health and promote people's health, Peng Zu, after tens of thousands of experiments and practices, and according to his own diet and meditation habits, made lifelong efforts to summarize and sort out the book Peng Zu Jing. Peng Zu Jing, the first health-preserving book in China, covers the health-preserving theory and experience in various aspects, such as health-preserving, guidance, aftercare, diet and health-preserving. Unfortunately, it was lost before the Tang Dynasty, and now all kinds of Peng Zu health books are re-processed by later generations. The stars turn and the sun moves. In a blink of an eye, Peng Zu has lived in Pengdian for nearly 300 years. On this day, because he was away from home for a long time, he was homesick, so he looked forward to seeing his hometown on a high mountain one kilometer east of Pengdian. Later generations named his hometown Tanjiazhuang (now Tanzhuang Village, Pengdian Town). After returning to the Peng Zu store, he sat quietly on the bed, surrounded by green grass and red flowers, accompanied by wild fruits and birds singing. In the harmonious blend of heaven and man, he closed his eyes and practiced, and went on a hunger strike for 7749 days. When people found him, he was already dead, because he died young, ruddy, moist, rejuvenated, like a sleeping child, so there were folk songs. It is said that Peng Zu passed on his many years of health preserving skills and Peng Zu classics to a person in Pengdian. This man's name is Ji Cheng, and then he combined Peng Zu's skill of keeping in good health with his profound understanding and passed it on to more local people, so that Peng Zu's skill of keeping in good health was carried forward in Yanling. According to the statistics of authoritative departments, the ratio of centenarians to long-lived elders in Yanling is obviously higher than that in surrounding areas, which is said to benefit from the way of health preservation advocated by Peng Zu. 20 13 Yanling is known as the "hometown of longevity".
