Legend has it that more than 4,000 years ago, the Yellow River basin in China experienced a series of catastrophic floods. The Yellow River was diverted to the south, seizing the middle and lower reaches of the Huai River, and the Yellow River seizing the Huai River into the sea plunged the entire nation into an unprecedented disaster. People unanimously recommend that the leader of the Xia tribe, who has a tradition of water control, is Yu's father, who presided over the water control.

Yu inherited his father's will, determined to ** floods, for the benefit of the people, Yu married the daughter of the Tushan family, soon after the marriage left home to control the water, a farewell for thirteen years did not return to the garden. Yu used the method of dredging to control the water, he opened canals to drain water, dredged the river, and led the flood all the way to the Yellow Sea. In order to dredge the Huai River, Yu split the Jing and Tu two mountains, and since then the two mountains have been sandwiched by the Huai River and opposed.

At this time, his wife Tu Shan also gave birth to a son Qi, the baby was crying, Yu passed by the door, heard the cry, and did not go in to visit. The eternal story of "passing through the door three times without entering" has been circulated.

The daughter of the Tushan clan looked at the direction of her husband's water control day and night, but she looked through the autumn water and did not see Yu's return. She thought about it for a long time, and finally the liquid exuded by Jingcheng was pure, turned into a Wangfu stone, and sat at the east end of Tu Mountain, and later generations called it Qimu Stone. And the Tu Shan daughter's hope has been looking at it for more than 4,000 years.

Once upon a time there was a young man named Hailang who made a living from fishing. One day, Hailang came to the beach to fish, and saw a grouper stranded, so he released it back into the sea.

Unexpectedly, the grouper turned out to be the daughter of the dragon king, and in order to repay Hailang, she was willing to stay with Hailang for the rest of her life. In this way, the sea dragon and the dragon girl got married, gave birth to a child, and lived happily ever after.

Who knew that the good times would not last long, and one day, the dragon king came back from a sea tour, and found that his daughter had left home without permission and married Hailang, and he was very angry, so he turned into a white-haired old man and came to Hailang's house to force the dragon girl to go home. But the dragon girl refused to leave Hailang and begged her father to let them go, but the dragon king did not agree, and the time limit was three days, otherwise it would be unkind to their family.

When Hailang came back, the dragon girl told Hailang everything that had just happened. Hailang was very frightened when he heard this, and the dragon girl comforted him.

On the fourth day, a group of shrimp soldiers and crabs will come ashore from the sea and take Hailang away, leaving only the dragon girl, waiting for Hailang to return. The dragon girl held her son and waited for her husband's return all day long, and over time it became a well-known "Wangfu Stone".
