Features: The Taihang Mountains and Wangwushan were originally located in the southern part of Jizhou, covering an area of over 700 li. The people living in the mountains were surrounded by these two giants, and many had never stepped outside their mountain homes, unaware of what lay beyond. "They say, beyond the mountains lies the sea, and beyond the sea are the immortal islands." "They say, beyond the mountains is an endless plain." The children of Shan Chen were filled with magical fantasies about the world outside the mountains. "Sigh, this damn mountain is like an island cage, trapping us mountain dwellers inside." The adults in the mountains constantly complained about the two mountains! In the northeastern part of Shandong lived an old man with a long beard, nearly ninety years old. He was naturally optimistic and hardworking, and the people called him Yugong.
