Huang Daxian’s Mausoleum

Huang Daxian’s Mausoleum is situated west of the bridge in Erxianqiao Village, Xianqiao Town, inside the “Ancient Erxian Ancestral Temple.” In Erxianqiao Village, the Chisong Stream flows through the area, dividing the village into two parts: the eastern side is called Xidong Village, and the western side is called Xixi Village. To facilitate travel between the two sides, the villagers built a wooden bridge. Legend has it that the bridge was frequently destroyed by a vicious dragon in the stream, making it difficult for villagers on both banks to cross. The brothers Huang Chuping eliminated the threat, slayed the dragon, and constructed a sturdy stone bridge, which locals then called the “Erxian Bridge” (Two Immortals Bridge). Later, the village took its name from the bridge. After the Huang Daxian brothers passed away and ascended while residing on Chisong Mountain, their “immortal bodies” were washed downstream by a flood and lodged against the bridge piers at Erxian Bridge. Out of gratitude for the two immortals’ blessings, local residents built the “Two Imperial Lords Ancestral Temple” and enshrined the two bodies within. The temple was later renamed the “Ancient Erxian Ancestral Temple.”
