According to Xiping County annals published in the 23rd year of the Republic of China, zhushishan is commonly known as spider mountain, also known as the ancestor mountain. It is 929.7 meters high and covers an area of about 4 li. The cliffs in the mountains are steep and engraved with spider inscriptions. It is said that it is the remains of Wang Xu of Guiguzi

The appellation of this mountain has its origin: Xiping is the hometown of Leizu, the silkworm God. It is recorded in the Xuanyuan chronicle that the emperor married the Xiling family to Daliang, named Leizu, as the imperial concubine of the Yuan Dynasty. After the Yellow Emperor and Leizu got married here, they did farming and mulberry work and managed people's work. Especially, inspired by the spider's web, Leizu began to raise silkworms, reeling, weaving and sewing. In the Xuanyuan chronicle, it is described that the Xiling family began to raise silkworms as silk, but there were five saints in heaven, who helped to rationalize. It can be said that on the thick soil of Xiping, human beings took off their bark and leaves, put on their clothes and train, and went out of the flood and into civilization. The first ancestor mountain got its name from this. The origin of spider mountain is romantic. It originated from a place called shenxianpu. In the huge stone house half of the hillside, a huge stone concave is now in the shape of a person lying on his side, which is called shenxianpu. It is said that after the grandmaster became an immortal in 9999, he drove Xiangyun to the mountain. The spider spirit who guarded the mountain was overjoyed, so he surrounded the grandmaster for three times. The mountain was three stories long, so the grandmaster couldn't bear it and wanted to drive away. The king of spiders was at a loss for a moment. He was so angry that he became a huge spider stone that is still alive today.

The appellation of zhushishan is much more realistic. From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, you can have a panoramic view of the grotesque rocks: some are like dragons flying in the sky, and some are like turtles competing to climb. They are lifelike and ready to come out. The cliff stones carved on the top of the small stone shed in the northeast of the mountain tell the true meaning of all the stone Mountains: "this mountain has good stones, and it can also be strong in grinding." "Peace to all". According to experts' research, the inscription of the first year of Taihe, which was engraved in the largest mill in ancient China, is the earliest safety warning language and advertising language found at present, and has high historical value.

From the east side of the spider, it is Tianchi, the highest water surface in tangxiyuan scenic spot. It has two pits in the north and south, with a radius of more than 40 square meters and a water depth of 1.5 meters. The water in the pool is clear, with fish playing, lotus blooming, green leaves and clear water. There are many kinds of wild shrub bonsai beside the pool. Fishing in leisure is gentle and comfortable.

Over the Tianchi Lake, tens of meters up, is the ancient village where the ancestor of the Baihuang family lived.

This famous ancient village is said to be the site of the Baihuang tribe. In order to remember the merits of the ancestors, people built the ancestral temple with three main halls and two East and West halls in 1342. For hundreds of years, pilgrims from a radius of four or five hundred miles often came here to burn incense and paper. The traffic was very busy, which was magnificent and the incense continued for many years. In particular, the third patriarch temple fair in March every year is full of people. After a long period of war, the temple was set on fire by bandits in the autumn of 1884. However, the scattered ancient bricks and the carvings, poems and inscriptions on the stone walls are enough to prove the glory of the ancient village in the past.
