He visited the scenic spots of Mo Gong, the general of the Western Han Dynasty, and enjoyed the wonders of mountains and rivers there. Therefore, build house hung his bow behind Yanzi Rock and asked the workers to carve a stone lion statue to expand his vision, which later became a positive result and leaped over the elephant.
