Legend

It is said that in ancient times, there were five immortal horses in the Royal stables of the heavenly court who came to the world because of their yearning for the common people and gave birth to a couple surnamed Liu. That year, Liu Tianfu gave birth to quintuplets. One day in the sky and one year in the world, the five brothers grew up in the twinkling of an eye. The eldest is a hunter, the second is a farmer, the third is a doctor, the fourth is a stonecutter, and the fifth is a carpenter. The family work hard and live a happy life. Unexpectedly, at this time, the heavenly court found five lost horses, and the Royal Horse officer reported them to the Jade Emperor in a hurry. The Jade Emperor sent the thunder god to lead the heavenly soldiers and generals to the earth to arrest them. Because of their nostalgia for human life, the five immortal horses refused to return to heaven. In his fury, Thor ordered them to go back to heaven. Five horse bodies were left behind, so the five saddle shaped stone peaks became today's five horses facing the sky.
