In ancient times, there was an old man burning charcoal who had two sons. The elder was called Qingshan and the younger Hongshan. When the old man was dying, he gave Donggang to Qingshan and Xigang to Hongshan. The trees in Xigang are thick and luxuriant, and they can burn good charcoal. Hongshan is very hardworking. He worked hard to burn charcoal all day and lived a very rich life. But three or five years later, he cut down all the trees, so Hongshan planted crops on the hillock. Unexpectedly, a rainstorm washed away all the crops planted by Hongshan. He had nothing to eat, so he had to go to Donggang to join his brother. Donggang used to have few trees, but Qingshan was very good at planning. He first cut down the trees that were not ready to grow, and then planted new seedlings. He opened up wasteland to farm and feed cattle and horses. A few years ago, he lived in poverty, but three or five years later, the seedlings grew up on the hillock, the crops under the hillock were contiguous, and there were herds of cattle and sheep. During the rainstorm, the crops in Donggang were not damaged at all because they were protected by trees. Hongshan saw his brother's beautiful scenery and prosperity, which was very strange. He asked his brother why. He told him earnestly, "if you don't raise mountains, you will end up at the end of the mountain. If you raise mountains first and then eat them, you will have beautiful scenery." Later, people praised Castle Peak and said, "if you keep Castle Peak, you are not afraid of no firewood."
