Highlight:

It is said that during the Western Han Dynasty, there was a beautiful and knowledgeable girl surnamed Pan. One day she was washing clothes on the bank of Chenjiang River. Her wooden club was caught by a red ribbon flowing in the river. It could not be pulled away by hand, so she used the teeth to nip. However, the red ribbon fell into her stomach, and she became pregnant. To avoid the tease from villagers, she hid herself in a cave in Mount Suxian , and gave birth to a boy, Suxian. After Su Xian's birth, white cranes warmed his body with feathers; white deer milked him. Su Xian was later named Sundan by his mother for sceneries around. From small he cultivated himself, and finally ascended to heaven by a white crane. Before he flied upwards he got to know that in next year Chenzhou would suffer a plague. He told his mother to boil water from wells with oranges to cure plagues. His mother followed his instructions and saved a lot of people. These people, in order to thank him, built a Suxian Palace in Mount Suxian. For this reason, Mount Suxian became famous.
