Walking along Prince town to Junshan, you come to Shijing village in Junshan. At the entrance of the village, there are several towering ancient trees with a height of more than 30 meters. Unfortunately, two of them died. Guided by a monk, he crawled eastward along an inter mountain path for more than an hour and arrived at Jingyun mountain, which is more than 400 meters above sea level in the east of Taizi Town, Yangxin County. In the dense forest, there is an ancient temple. According to reports, this is the "jade seal ancient temple" recorded in the relevant historical materials.

According to legend, there is a natural stone bridge in the cave. It is said that Bian he was a doctor when he was young. He often went to Jingshan to collect medicine and rested in the cave many times. In the dim light, he found a magpie climbing on the cave wall, shining and thought it was a gem. So he chiseled this stone and presented it to the king of Chu, who was cut off. Later, he Shi Bi was a priceless treasure and made into Zhenguo jade seal. When Wang Mang usurped the throne, he fought with his aunt for the jade seal, which was broken and inlaid with gold.

Bian he later lived in the Jingshan cave. E Mei, a girl from Wanghu who had been cured by Bian he, often went to the mountain to visit her.
