Legend of "Fairy Salt Worker" in Xiannv Cave, Kaixian County, Chongqing;

Hot springs can be traced back to the Western Han Dynasty, where residents took brine and fried salt. There were hot springs in the Song Dynasty and postal shops in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The government of the Republic of China set up saltworks offices to manage them. There are many natural salt workers, because they are poor, of course, no one comes to mend rags and shoes. One day, a fairy descended from the sky, determined to do good for the poor. Since the fairy came to the world, it's really amazing: the poor salt worker only needs to put rags or shoemaking materials in the hole, and he will get mended clothes or shoes the next day. The clothes are well sewn and close to the body; These shoes are well-made and fit perfectly. At this time, the son of a salt tyrant in the town, a famous playboy, heard that there was a colorful, crystal-clear and pure beauty in the cave, salivating and having evil thoughts. One day, I put a rag in a hole and hid it behind a stone. Suddenly a strange smell came to my nose, and the fairy came from the depths of the cave. The fairy leaned over to pick up the clothes and was about to get up and leave when the playboy suddenly jumped out from behind the stone, pounced on the fairy and hugged her tightly. The fairy was angry, and with a flick of her sleeve, the playboy turned into a pile of stones; The fairy turned into a stone statue.
