3. The Legend of Xushan in Jiaxing

According to legend, during the Spring and Autumn Period, Wu Zixu, a general of the State of Wu, came to Xushan, Jiaxing to train and prepare to attack the State of Chu. Due to the hot weather and hard training, many people are poisoned by damp heat, and their skin has grown a lot of carbuncle and gangrene, which is swollen and painful. Even people who are weak have a high fever. Wu Zixu was in a hurry and didn't know what to do.

Just then, Wu Zixu's friend Gao Dong happened to be in Jiaxing and stopped by Wu Zixu. Gong is a disciple of a famous doctor. Wu Zixu was hunted by the State of Chu and came to Zhaoguan, where he lost his head overnight. It was Dong's ingenious arrangement that replaced Zixu with a friend who was similar to Zixu, and Wu Zixu successfully defected to Wu.

Seeing that Wu Zixu's soldiers were sick because of gangrene and there were many scorpions in Xushan Cave, Dong smiled and said to Wu Zixu, "I have an idea." He caught a few scorpions, put them in tiles, slowly simmered and baked them brown, and then distributed them to the soldiers. After the soldiers ate it, the carbuncle on their bodies disappeared immediately and was "burned". This day happens to be the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. After the soldier fell ill, his morale was greatly boosted and he finally defeated Chu.

In memory of Wu Zixu, Jiaxing people called the place where he trained as a soldier Xushan. At the southern foot of Xushan Mountain, there is a stone with a concave middle, and there is a little crack on the surface of the stone at regular intervals. It is said that it was caused by Wu Zixu's sword grinding in those days, and it is called the sword grinding stone.
