Stories and legends

In the pre Qin period, Shuoxiang lake was located in Shuoxiang county with a grand city. By the time of the first emperor of Qin Dynasty, Shuoxiang city was very prosperous. According to the Song Dynasty's Taiping Huanyu Ji Shenyi Zhuan, there was an old woman in the city who was afraid when she heard the nursery rhyme: "there is blood at the gate of the city, the city should be trapped.". Every morning when I got up, I would take a little dog to the gate and look around.

On that day, she came to the north gate of the city and looked out. Looking at the old woman's nervousness, the guard stopped her and asked, "what are you doing? Come and have a look every day? " The old woman told the nursery rhyme she heard, saying that she was not sure that she would be ready to escape when the city fell. The door preacher said: "you make all kinds of rumors, make trouble, talk nonsense, disturb people's hearts." The old woman said, "I also listen to children sing. Believe it or not, what's the matter?" "I don't believe it!" said the gate soldier When he saw the little dog brought by the old woman, he cut off the dog's ear with a sword, and the dog's blood was flowing straight. He held the dog's blood in his hand, smeared it on the city gate, and said triumphantly, "I'll call it the city gate with blood, and see if it can really sink?" As soon as the old woman saw that there was blood on the gate, she turned around and left. In an instant, a piece of water came whistling, following her feet. The old woman led the dog northward and fled to Yilai mountain (today's Dayi mountain). Looking back, Shuoxiang city had all sunk to the bottom of the water and turned into a vast Shuoxiang lake.

In the sixties and seventies of the last century, a large number of ancient city wall tiles, ceramic fragments and hoard copper coins were unearthed in the fishing farm village of shuohu Township in the western suburb of Xin'an town in Guannan, which can support the historical facts of the sinking of Shuoxiang city.
