The towers and pines around the pool are beautiful, and the mountains are green. Whenever night falls and the bright moon is in the sky, the shadows of the mountain peaks and the blue moon are reflected in the pool. The silent shadows sink on the wall, and the moonlight trembles slightly. There is a poem praising it, "A vast blue stream forms."

One year, the Queen Mother held a grand peach banquet in the Tiangong Palace, but she forgot to invite the Tianchi water monster to express her displeasure. In an instant, the sky was filled with turbid waves and floods filled the sky. The Heavenly Soldier reported to the Queen Mother, who was furious and immediately took off a jade hairpin from her head and threw it into the water. Suddenly, the water calmed down and the jade hairpin turned into a stone. This elm tree grew by the Tianchi water and became a treasure of water control.
