Who thought that she would get pregnant and give birth to a baby boy when she stepped on the footprints? Of course, it's not good to get pregnant before she gets married. Therefore, her family secretly took the baby boy out of the door without telling Jiang Yuan The baby was abandoned, but no matter where he was, the boy had birds and animals to shelter him from the wind and rain. People were surprised and worshipped him as a God, so they welcomed him home. Because he was abandoned several times, it was called "abandonment".

The footprints of her mother, Jiang Yuan, were left by "diho", one of the five emperors. When she toured the Tianshan Mountains and saw that Jiang Yuan was lively and beautiful, she loved her so much that she left her footprints.
