Mozhen River, at the foot of xianger mountain. It's said that Li Taibai studied in the mountains. If he didn't succeed, he abandoned it. After crossing the stream, when Lao Yi grinds his pestle, he asks, "I want to make a needle." Taibai felt the meaning of it, but also died. She said she was Wu. There is wushiyan beside the stream.

Mozhen river is at the foot of xianger mountain. It is said from generation to generation that when Li Bai was studying in the mountains, he didn't finish his studies well, so he gave up studying and left. He passed by a stream and met an old woman grinding an iron bar. He asked her what she was doing. The old woman said, "I want to grind it into a needle." Moved by her spirit, Li Bai went back to finish his studies. The old woman called herself Wu. Now there is a piece of Wushi rock beside the stream.

Words from:
