There was originally a "Meishan Hall" in Xinghu Chong, South Gate, where the local hunting goddess "Meishan Niangniang" was enshrined.

It turns out that local religious beliefs are deeply influenced by China, and they believe in mountain gods and worship their ancestors.

The ancestors here are known for their good hunting skills. The goddess of Meishan is their hunting god. Hunters hold a sacrificial ceremony for "Anmeishan" before and after hunting to sacrifice to "Mishan Niangniang".

According to legend, in ancient times, there were high mountains and dense forests, and there were many tigers and leopards. The mountain junction between Heming Mountain and Wutong Mountain by the river was named Xinghu Chong because the tigers and leopards rose in groups.

There is a hunter named Mei in Xinghu Chong. There is a girl in her family who depends on her father for life. The girl is born smart and smart, with red eyes and red lips, and extremely beautiful. The hunter loves her like a pearl in her palm, and is determined to make the girl look good.

This girl has learned the language of birds and beasts since she was a child. She has a personality like a boy. She takes puppy to play during the day and sleeps in a rabbit at night, and is happy all day long.

The girl is also diligent and studious. No matter what she learns, she always knows it at once. When she grows five years old, she can embroider flowers. The flowers she embroidered look vivid. At the age of seven, she can blow Dongdongkui, attracting flowers to bloom and birds to sing. At the age of nine, she can do housework, pick up firewood, carry water, wash clothes, and cook. She is capable of everything and becomes a good helper for Daddy Hunter.

When the girl was fifteen or sixteen years old, she wanted to go to the mountains to hunt with her father. Her father initially disagreed, but later the girl repeatedly asked, so she had to agree to take her there.

The girl has a very high understanding and she quickly learned all her hunting skills; in addition, she has good archery skills, her bows on both sides are accurate and far, and her language is also very powerful, so she went to the mountains to hunt and hit every opportunity.

But she does not kill pregnant animals in winter and does not kill hatch birds in spring.

The girl catches more prey every day than hunters in Jiuxi and Eighteen Caves, and every time she gets a lot of prey.

After she got her prey, she always kept her animal heads according to the customs in the village and distributed her prey to every family on the mountain.

People in this area like her very much because she runs in the mountains all year round, and everyone calls her "Miss Meishan".

In order to improve hunting skills and efficiency, the girl Meishan asked blacksmith for help, invented a longbow and sharp arrow, and wisely captured bears, so that people's lives will no longer be harassed by bears.

Miss Meishan has become famous since then and people respect her very much.

The Meishan girl walked all over the mountains and long ridges and killed ninety-eighty-one wild boars, forty-nine leopards, fifty-twenty-five tigers, hundreds of goats, thousands of pheasants. The animal skins in the house were piled up into mountains and the beast heads were hung all over the walls.

One day, a sudden rumor came, saying that seven tigers appeared in the mountains. In just three days and two nights, nine sheep were killed, nine cows were taken away, and nine pedestrians were bitten, making every family in the village closed their doors, and no one dared to drive cattle and sheep up the mountain, did not dare to go out for spring, and did not dare to go hunting in the mountains, and even the passing merchants were gone.

After hearing this, Miss Meishan made up her mind to get rid of these seven tigers for her fellow villagers.

The next morning, the girl Meishan worshipped her ancestors, carried dry food and a copper fork in her hand, and went to say goodbye to the old hunter's father.

The old hunter wanted to go with him, but he was old and had to let Miss Meishan go alone.

The girl Meishan went up the mountain like a horse running, and went down the hill like an arrow. She crossed Jiudao Ridge and wadeed through Jiuzhao Creek in one breath.

She sat under the big tree, took a breath, nibbled two cakes, drank a few sips of mountain streams, climbed to the top of the mountain, and searched continuously.

After finding the tiger trail, the girl Meishan tried her best to fight with the tigers.

On that day, the girl Meishan killed six tigers one after another from morning to dusk. When she was fighting with the sixth tiger, the copper fork of the cow horns broke into two sections.

The girl Meishan held a half-corn fork and looked up. She saw that the sun had set and the bird had returned to the forest. There was a hanging rock cliff in front of her, and the deep valley was so tired that she was ready to go down the mountain and go home tomorrow to find the last tiger.

When the girl Meishan was about to go down the mountain, a strong wind suddenly blew. With a tiger roar, the tiger appeared two feet away from her. It opened its bloody mouth, and green light was emitted from both eyes, and the markings on her forehead showed a clear word "king".

Suddenly, the tiger rushed towards the Meishan girl.

The girl Meishan bowed her body and rushed into the air. When the girl Meishan saw the tiger falling to the ground, she took advantage of the opportunity to aim the copper fork in her hand at the tiger's head.

Unexpectedly, when the tiger turned around, the copper fork was falling down the tiger's ears. The tiger turned around and rushed towards Miss Meishan again.

Seeing that the tiger was coming fiercely, Miss Meishan rushed over as the tiger flew in the air, hugged the tiger's neck, and pressed it tightly against the tiger's belly. She pinched the tiger's neck with both hands, pinched and pinched. Ten fingers fell into the tiger's flesh, and the tiger's neck was bleeding. Miss Meishan was still pinching and pinching.

The tiger's hind paws grabbed the girl Meishan's clothes and trousers, which made the girl Meishan's body covered with bruises, but the girl still pinched the tiger's neck tightly, making the tiger's pain unbearable.

The tiger struggled desperately and rolled, determined to get rid of Meishan Girl. Meishan Girl tried hard and rolled down the deep valley with the tiger.

That night, the old hunter did not see Miss Meishan go home and couldn't sleep all night. The next day, he went up the mountain to look for Miss Meishan.

When the people in the village heard about it, they all went up the mountain to search together. They saw six tigers on the hillside and on the top of the mountain. Under the deep valley of Meishan hanging rocks, they found the seventh tiger killed by Meishan girl. But as for Meishan girl, there were neither bones nor traces.

Just as people were searching everywhere, a few days later, Miss Meishan came home by herself. It turned out that Miss Meishan fell down the hanging rock with the last tiger, and fell into the air and was caught by the immortal.

The immortal rescued Miss Meishan to the sky and appointed her as the hunting god, allowing her to take charge of the hundreds of beasts in the mountains.

But Miss Meishan couldn't bear to part with her father, so she returned to the mountain village.

When the news reached the patriarch, he sent a matchmaker to send a few baskets of jewelry to marry the girl Meishan as a side house.

Miss Meishan did not agree, so the patriarch locked Miss Meishan into a cell, but Miss Meishan still refused to obey.

When the patriarch saw that Miss Meishan refused to obey, he wanted to kill Miss Meishan since he could not marry her.

The housekeeper made an idea and said, "If you kill her for no reason, it may cause public anger. I have a plan to make her life lose."

So the housekeeper came to the cell and said to the girl Meishan: "You can't marry the patriarch, but you have to obey it if you have something. There is a big tiger in the north mountain. If you can get rid of it, you will let you go."

Miss Meishan believed it and went to Beishan to hunt tigers overnight. As soon as she went up the mountain, a colorful tiger suddenly rushed out of the woods, roaring at Miss Meishan, trying to swallow her up in one bite.

When the girl Meishan saw the tiger pounce on her, she was stunned at first, but soon woke up. She avoided the tiger's three-pounce jump and used the short hatchet in her hand to fight the tiger's life and death.

During the fight, her clothes were scratched by the tiger's claws and turned into butterflies and disappeared with the wind. They were covered in scars and blood.

But the tiger did not get any advantage. Her forehead and body were cut everywhere by Meishan girls, and her skin was covered with scars.

Finally, she gritted her teeth and used all her strength to cut the hatchet and the handle into the tiger's life hole, and finally killed the ferocious tiger.

On the way home after Meishan's girl killed the tiger, she unfortunately stepped into a trap that the clan leader had already set. The clan leader and the butler who were ambushing the trap fired arrows at the same time. The girl Meishan was immediately shot and died.

The bad news came to the mountain village, and the people were angry. People immediately raised trouble, roared and avenged Miss Meishan, and rushed into the clan leader's house, chopped the housekeeper to death, and the clan leader was also torn to pieces.

After the death of the Meishan girl, she turned into the Meishan goddess, who was in charge of people's hunting. The Meishan goddess secretly gave prey to the hunters in her hometown and protected the hunters.

From then on, people worshipped the goddess Meishan turned into by Miss Meishan and became a hunting god.

At the same time, the "Meishan Hall" was established in Xinghu Chong to always bless people to hunt safely and have abundant prey.

Because tigers were hunted by hunters gradually decreased, Xinghu Chong was located on the bank of Yuanshui River. The ancients called the plain land on the shore slightly far away from the water, and apricot trees were everywhere. The Meishan girl also had a red almond eyes and lips. In order to commemorate the Meishan girl, people changed Xinghu Chong to Xinghu Chong.

From then on, people went up the mountain to hunt and returned from hunting, and they had to worship the goddess Meishan. Before going up the mountain to hunt, they burned incense and prayed, and then sacrificed to the goddess Meishan before they set off. It was called Kaimeishan.

They believe that if they don’t respect the goddess Meishan first, they will not be able to find the traces of prey after going up the mountain, and they will not even be able to shoot prey or mistakenly think of prey and kill them. (To be continued)
