Legend has it that King Xiang of Chu, while touring the Gaotang region, became very tired and fell asleep during the day. In his dream, he saw a celestial maiden who said, 'I am from Gaotang. Hearing of your arrival, I am willing to be your pillow and mat.' King Xiang had intimate relations with her.
Before departing, she said, 'I reside on the sunny side of Mount Wu, amidst the rugged peaks. In the morning, I transform into the morning clouds; in the evening, I become the passing rain. Morning and evening, I am beneath Yangtai.'
