The legendary story of Zhao Kuangyin sending Jing Niang off to Wu'an City thousands of miles away. Jing Niang's surname was Zhao, and she was from Yongji, Shanxi. She was only seventeen years old. She went to Quyang with her father to burn incense and fulfill her vows, but was robbed. Fortunately, Zhao Kuangyin rescued her with a sword and sent her home thousands of miles away. Zhao Kuangyin cared for Jing Niang along the way. Passing by Wu'anmen Daochuan, Jingniang got up in the morning, went to the Yuan to dress up, and expressed her love to Zhao Kuangyin. Kuangyin was full of ambition and politely declined. At that time, the morning sun was about to come out, and Zhao Kuangyin wrote "Ode to the Sun" and inscribed it on the wall: "It's about to come out but it's not shining yet. Thousands of mountains are like fire." In a moment, I walked up to the sky and chased away the remaining stars and the moon. Later, the place where Jingniang and Kuangyin fell in love has become a beautiful artificial lake. People call it "Jingniang Lake" and it was named by Zhao Puchu, Qigong and Yang Chengwu. There is also the "Yiyi Rock" where Jing Niang cooled down to dry her clothes, and the "Dressing Table" is the rock where Jing Niang washed herself near the lake. According to Feng Menglong's "Jingshi Tongyan", Zhao Kuangyin sent Jing Niang a thousand miles away, and Jing Niang was willing to support her for the rest of her life. However, Zhao said: "A good sister is not just me. She is sent thousands of miles out of loyalty, but now it is private How is love different from that rogue horse? It is not the behavior of a gentleman to repay kindness." Jing Niang said: "My dear brother, I can't repay my great virtue in this life, and I will die with a knotted grass in my mouth." So Jingniang committed suicide by throwing herself into the lake (later she was posthumously named Mrs. Zhenyi), and Jingniang Lake got its name from this.
