Stories and legends

It is said that Ji Lanying, the wife of Xue gang in the Tang Dynasty, looked at the sufferings of the common people, so she acted for heaven to rob the rich and help the poor. She set up a mountain stronghold on yintiaoling and connected a large number of poor people to the mountains and lived in seclusion in the forest. The industrious and virtuous lady of the stronghold leader also made very good pickles, but later, because of the war, people buried her pickle jar in the ground until today.
