historical origin

It is said that more than 200 years ago, when Emperor Qianlong held the "autumn service of Mulan" in Mulan paddock, he occasionally visited here. He was fascinated by the natural beauty of the valley and had a very interesting panoramic view of the valley. It happened that it was raining heavily. After the rain, Qianlong was very excited when he faced the towering Yanshan Mountain in Southwest China. Looking back, I can see thousands of streams on the mountain running down the mountain, just like thousands of silver snakes flying in the mountains, colorful rainbows from the sky straight to the bottom of the valley, chanting the words of "water course is like whiskers, rainbow falls into the stream". The local people named the ditch daoxugou with Qianlong's phrase "Shuidao ruxu".
