The legend of langkeshan is an old folk legend, which has spread in many places of our country. The earliest record can be found in Zhi Lin written by Yu Xi of Jin Dynasty: "there is a stone room in Xin'an mountain. When Wang Zhi comes into his room, he sees two boys playing chess. When he looks at it, he sees that the game is not over. It is no longer right for him to go back to his hometown as soon as he sees that his cutting salary is rotten." "Shishi mountain in Xin'an County" was written by Liang renfang in Shuyi Ji. In the Jin Dynasty, when the king was cutting wood, he saw several boys playing chess and singing, and the reason was to listen to them. Boy and a thing and quality, such as jujube seed.

After several remonstrations, he was imprisoned by King Zhou and demoted to slavery. Later, King Wu of Zhou destroyed King Zhou, and Jizi fled to Lingchuan of Shanxi Province to live in seclusion.
