        There is a lot about who sun simiao legend folk stories, there is a "dragon palace party" the story is that: one day, sun simiao, going out to see a boy being killed a small snake, the snake has been bleeding injury. Sun simiao very heartache, you take off your clothes, and the shepherd boy exchange small snake, in order to save the little snake. Sun simiao used drugs to small snake wrapped, then released. After about a month, a white dress young met sun simiao, dismount thank humbly, sun simiao to dragon palace. Young sun simiao, please see the dragon king, dragon king feasted, gave the sun simiao dragon palace prescriptions 30. Sun simiao out dragon temple, feel things very strange, just test one by one the dragon palace prescriptions, discovery has efficacy. Later wrote "daughter party", the dragon temple inside. Others said dragon palace is sun simiao writes "seas".

        Folk legend, legend has it, the basic no official basis. "Old tang book" and "the new tang book" have sun simiao, but have not a clue of the story. "Dragon temple side story may be the first" from the "thousand Jin Yifang" for a description. Daughter two parties mentioned in place of the dragon is only one place, is "thousand Jin Yifang, BiGu, uniform water", said: "the martial arts, dragon Ji this volume" serving water sutra, grant is working round play, its many books between the bad, the text is incomplete, because time gap for its connotations, integration and good gentleman frequently and repairing, the fairy can cause." Said roughly, "dragon" to take water, I look at too many, has damaged, words are not complete, but investigate its philosophical connotations, the thousand Jin Yifang "serving water" in the article. Here the "dragon" is the person's name, or institutions, or the mythical dragon, no detailed said, other place also have no evidence. Added "water" and "controlling water dragon king of the nature of lenovo, and BiGu given mystery," dragon "in the" thousand Jin Yifang ", is very easy to lines as the myth of the dragon.

        Duan Chengshi of tang dynasty "unitary Yang miscellaneous him" is recorded such a story: the need for rain, because of the drought weather so kunming pool of the dragon is very worry, will go to the monk, please deliver, monks say, this thing are you looking for Mr. Sun simiao. Kunming ChiLong turns to sun simiao for help. Sun simiao said, thirty I know dragon temple in kunming have a prescription, you to me, I'll save you. Kunming ChiLong said, the prescriptions is sent, don't let all the ah. But now situation is urgent, I will to you. Sun simiao get prescription, said after go home, you will be fine. Was heavy rains, kunming ChiLong is able to save. Sun simiao later write daughter side, each roll with a dragon palace of prescriptions. The unitary Yang miscellaneous him in this story, obviously "thousand Jin Yifang" in that sentence is in yan, the story is very popular in folk may already at that time.

        In the five dynasties late tang dynasty biography of "the sequel, when the story happened some changes again, and this article at the beginning of the story is very close. "The sequel" in the "dragon temple square" story adds a "prequel", namely the sun simiao save small snake through, remove the drought rain, makes the story have a warm and natural "beginning"; And add the greeted with white dress young, into details, such as dragon temple, please make the story more twists and turns to attract people. More importantly, change the "unitary Yang miscellaneous him" sun simiao crisis while the dragon king the rigging prescription, adapted for the dragon king gratitude to sun simiao prescription. At the same time, a large increase of sun simiao's words and deeds, enriched the sun simiao's image. The "dragon temple square" story mostly intact.
