Legend

It is said that there are two villages in the north and south of Shigang, where Longmen is located. Shajiang village in the North has been flooded year after year, while Jiaocun village in the south, which is located in a low-lying area, is safe because of the natural barrier of Shigang.

One year, it rained cats and dogs for seven days and nights, and the flood engulfed Shajiang village. However, the bully of Jiao Village, King Yan Jiao, cheered and applauded. He was just seen by piggy dragon, who was patrolling the rain to see the water. In order to persuade King Yan Jiao to open a post and divert water, piggy dragon turned into a young man and went to work in King Yan Jiao's house, and decided not to rain for three years. Who knows, King Jiao didn't care at all, and pushed piggy Dragon into a well, so piggy dragon began to use his mouth to arch the stone from the bottom of the well
