Mysterious legend related to Lang Xuan Son cave

According to the locals here, from ancient times, Xuan Son villagers worshiped the Lang cave god. Legend has it that the god worshiping is a snake who transforms into a handsome and handsome boy who often helps the Tho Lang house in Lang hamlet. The guy works hard and gets the job done. Some days, he also helps Tho Lang’s daughter, Bach, in harvesting crops in the field.

With his hard work and dedication, this handsome guy is loved by many people. Although he tried to hide his true form, he was discovered and chased away by the Tho Lang mandarin and forbade his daughter to contact him. Then, on a day of weaving, the yarn was splashed into the pond. Bach waded down to pick up the yarn, but unfortunately, when she returned, she fell ill and died.

The villagers of Lang village stirred, and the Tho Lang mandarin thought that his daughter had been captured by a snake to be his wife. After that, in order to prevent snakes from taking her body, the villagers took her to the top of Ten Mountain to bury her. And not accepting such arrangement, the snake body shouted rain, called the wind to the villagers for many days and turned the land here into rivers and streams to bring Bach’s body back to his cave. Since then, the people of Lang village have worshiped the snake god and Lady Bach with the wish that the rain will be favorable for the development of farming and animal husbandry.

Also from that legend,  Lang Phu Tho cave  was considered as the aquarium of the guardian god of Lang hamlet. Until now, people have just built Lang communal house to pray to the gods to bless a peaceful life, a full and prosperous life. And every year on the festival of buying and selling, the opening ceremony of the forest door, the cavalry day of the god’s wife… the people here hold an exciting ceremony at Lang communal house.
