History and Humanities

legend

In ancient times, there were few people in Xuebao mountain. It is said that one day, two strangers wanted to go from Shanghua village in Kaixian county to Xianyi Township in Chengkou county. When they reached qingwanzi, the mountain was snowed and the mountain road was covered with snow. They could not go down any more. Two people think of a way: rub the snowball with the hand, the size of an egg, pile the snowball together. Before long, a huge snowball was made. They pushed the snowball down the mountain with all their strength. The snowball rolled faster and bigger, and wrapped them in the middle. In case of a high ridge, the snowball fell down and made a loud bang, and the snowball was scattered. They climbed out of the snowball and were not injured at all. Later, people called the mountain "Xuebao mountain", and later, it was homonymous for "Xuebao mountain".
