It is said that once Lu Ban traveled to Linlu and was stopped by the high mountain. The powerful man took out his axe and cut through a break. The first path leading to the beauty and grandeur appeared.

Second Story: Wang-xiang-yan is a very famous branch chain valley in the locality. The story of slave chancellor started here.

Wang referred to Wu Ding, the 22nd kind in Shang Dynasty (B.C.1600-1100). Xiang referred to Chancellor Chuan Shuo who used to be a slave.
