Composition of Sibaoshan in Zibo

According to legend, during the Tianshun period of the Yuan Dynasty, there was a man named Fang Yingshan at the foot of Bao Si Mountain, and his mother made a living by farming and firewood. On one occasion, Fang Yingshan met a fairy when he was chopping wood up the mountain. The fairy gave watermelon seeds and taught him how to grow melons. Since then, he has become a professional watermelon grower at the foot of Bao Si Mountain and taught his neighbors how to grow watermelons. One year after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Fang Yingshan came to the melon field to pull out seedlings and found a small melon growing on a vine. As soon as he mentioned Guateng, there was a loud noise, a mountain gate opened and Fang Yingshan fell into the mountain. He found a blue brick house in the cave, and a woman was driving a Bordeaux mule to run it over. The grinding plate is full of beans. The woman grabbed a handful of beans, put them in his pocket, and then picked some grapes for him. At this time, a gust of wind blew Fang Yingshan out of the gate. After returning home, Fang Yingshan took out his present and saw that it was golden grapes and golden beans. Mother and son are not greedy, but also give the treasures to their neighbors. From then on, people know that this mountain has four treasures, namely, golden girl, golden mule, golden beans and golden grapes. This is the legend about the origin of Sibaoshan.
