Legend

It is said that the old dragon king of Taihu Lake raised a son who was a little white dragon. The little white dragon was white and loved by everyone. The Dragon King couple regarded it as the apple of their eye and doted on it in every way. So little Bailong was fearless when he was a child, and he was naughty all day, playing tricks on the soldiers and crabs. One day, he went out to play and came to Helu city (now the old city of Suzhou). When he saw the grass and trees below, he wanted to take it to the boundary of the Dragon King, so he called for wind and rain, and brought water from Taihu Lake to submerge the city. Fortunately, the goddess of Guanyin found out in time and waved the willow branches to withdraw all the water. Only then did Helu escape. The Jade Emperor was very angry. In order to save his son's life, the old dragon king promised xiaobailong to be the king's mount and serve for the king, so as to make atonement. Xiaobailong knew that he had made a mistake, so he didn't dare to be stubborn any more. He went to the King Wu's horse farm overnight and attached it to the King Wu's beloved red rabbit horse. From then on, the horse under the king of Wu became extremely brave, carrying the king of Wu to fight one victory after another. In 496 B.C., the two countries set up a battlefield in the border area (now Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province). King Gou Jian of Yue came up with a strange tactic, ordering 300 dead men to commit suicide before the battle. While the Wu army was in chaos, he ordered the reserve troops to rush to the enemy. The Wu army was defeated and Yue won a great victory. He Lu, the king of Wu, was also cut off on his right foot in the chaos and was surrounded by the Yue army. At this time, the red horse under his hip roared and disappeared from the enemy's view with the king of Wu on his back. Although he Lu, the king of Wu, was saved by Baoju, he was humiliated because of his tragic defeat. His wound was seriously infected, angry and ashamed. He cried out and died. The red rabbit horse mourned its owner and hissed for a long time. His red color faded and turned into a white horse. It turns out that xiaobailong mourned a generation of male kings and lost his mind for a moment. In order to commemorate the horse, posterity named this place "Baimajian". Qianchi snow was inscribed by Zhao guaguang, a famous hermit in Ming Dynasty. Qianlong of Qing Dynasty wrote a poem for it: "spring flying, Qianchi snow flying, Qianzhang, Xiaozhuan three characters inscription yunluan."
