In the Tang Dynasty, Zhenshan was originally named guangzhengshan, but itwas renamed Zhenshan because of the saying that the virgin of Wen family waspromoted to immortality here. In addition to the unique natural landscape,Zhenshan is well-known in Lingnan, which has a lot to do with the legend ofWenshi Zhenxian.
According to legend, in a small village in yaosha township at the foot ofZhenshan mountain, there is an old couple who are over 50 years old and have nochildren, which is a bit of a fly in the ointment. One night, as soon as thecouple entered the dreamland, they vaguely saw a snow-white lotus floating in,and suddenly felt the fragrance of the house. Soon after, his wife becamepregnant, conceived in October and gave birth to a baby girl. The couple werevery happy. When the girl was full moon, an old friend from a neighboringvillage came to celebrate with his wife and three-year-old brother Qiao. The twofamilies also made an engagement for their children in public. In the twinklingof an eye for more than ten years, when the two families saw that their childrenhad grown up, they began to prepare for their marriage. Unexpectedly, the twofamilies were devastated by the tiger's harm. Qiao's father was very ill anddied for half a year. The woodcutter's mother was also blind because she was drywith tears. Seeing the miserable situation of the woodcutter's family, Miss Wenthought about it again and again. She put on white clothes and resolutely wentthrough the woodcutter's family to serve her mother-in-law and shoulder theheavy burden of life. Miss Wen's righteous deeds and moral character arewell-known. However, when the local rich men saw that Miss Wen had grown into afair lady, they had already coveted her and had a bad heart. Once they brokeinto the house and wanted to tease her. Miss Wen held scissors and denouncedher, so they had to leave unhappily. However, they didn't give up. Later, theywanted Wengu to submit on the ground of forcing rent and debt. Wengu only gotrefuge in Guangzheng mountain. After a long time, they were found by thosepeople and tried to commit violence. Seeing this, aunt Wen hurried up to thestone cliff by the edge of the pool and sternly scolded them: "I'd rather diethan obey than humiliate me!" Then jump down the deep pool. All of a sudden,there was a strong wind, lightning and thunder, and torrential rain. Thoseshameless people, being blown into a stampede, rolled down the mountain. Afterthe rain, Wen Gu's body was lying on the pool like a deep sleep, while thoseshameless people were dead in the mountains. Seeing this, the villagers not onlyregretted the misfortune of Wen Gu, but also congratulated the gangster for notdying well. As we were about to go down to the pool to pick up Wengu '. But onceupon a time, a piece of yellow paper floated down from the sky, and the booksaid, "Zhenshan is a piece of white stone, Zhenshan is a piece of white stone;human beings are sentimental, and their hair is white. Who worries aboutZhenshan?"
Later, Guangzheng mountain was renamed Zhenshan, and Wengu tiaotan wasnamed Zhenya. When the imperial court learned of this, the emperor decreed thatWengu should be granted the title of Wenshi Zhenxian. Sihui county governmentalso built a temple at the mouth of zhengu Valley in the 17th year of Zhengyuan(801) of emperor Dezong of Tang Dynasty. It was called zhenlie temple, alsoknown as fairy altar.
