In the north of Gushankou Village, Yuegezhuang Township, Fangshan, there is a cliff called "Huangma Rock". People have a legend about its origin. A long time ago, there was a mountain called "Qingcaoling" in the north of Gushankou Village. There were green grasses there, which was a good place for grazing. But people who have been there said that the ridge was very dirty, and people often went there and never came back, so no one dared to graze there. The lush green grass was abandoned year after year. One day, a young man under 30 years old went to Gushankou Village to beg. Someone asked him, "Why did you end up like this at such a young age?" He said with tears in his eyes, "There was a flood at home, the house was washed down by the water, my parents, sisters and brothers were all washed away by the water, and I was the only one left in the family, and I still survived the water. Others have relatives and friends to go to relatives and friends to go to friends, but I have no relatives and no friends, nowhere to go, and wandered here." He burst into tears as he spoke. People couldn't help crying after hearing what he said. The kind-hearted man went to the home of a rich man in Dongcun, nicknamed Caimi, to plead for Zhao Caimi, so he became a long-term worker for Zhao Caimi. After starting work, Zhao Caimi asked him about his hometown address, and he told him everything. He also said that he was the third in line and called Sanniu. Zhao Caimi had three horses, so he asked Sanniu to herd them. In the first few days, the horses were disobedient and not full. Seeing that the horses were not full, Zhao Caimi said to Sanniu: "If you can't feed the horses, you can't expect to have a full meal." From then on, he never asked Sanniu to have a full meal. Sanniu had no choice but to secretly go to the neighbors to ask for some leftovers to fill his stomach. One day, Sanniu drove the horses up the mountain again. He left the horses on the slope, and then lay on a big rock, looking at the high blue sky, thinking about his fate. What should I do in the future? How can I go on like this? As he thought about it, he fell asleep in a daze. "Sanniu, Sanniu, why don't you go to Qingcaoling to graze? The grass there is tender and green, and horses love it." An old man with a white beard and a walking stick said to him. Sanniu opened his eyes and realized it was a dream. He didn't pay attention and fell asleep again. "Sanniu, Sanniu, why don't you..." Sanniu woke up again, and it was the same dream. He had three dreams and they were all the same. Sanniu thought about it, people say there are ghosts on Qingcaoling, no one dares to go there, and he became timid when he thought about it. But then he thought again, all his relatives are gone, and he works for the rich man and gets beaten and scolded all day long, what else is there to be afraid of? I will go to Qingcaoling to graze the horses and let the ghosts catch them. The next day, Sanniu drove the three horses to Qingcaoling. He spread the food on the slope, and soon the horses were full. In the evening, he drove the horses back to the owner's house. When Zhao Caimi saw that the horses were full, he couldn't help but feel happy. From then on, Sanniu went to Qingcaoling to release the horses every day. Another day, he released the horses on Qingcaoling. The horses were chewing the grass in the green grass. Sanniu went to a flat big rock again and missed his hometown. When the sun was setting, he looked at the herd of horses. Hey, why is there one more horse? A golden horse was jumping and playing with the horse he released. Sanniu walked towards the herd of horses in surprise. But in the blink of an eye, the golden horse disappeared. This happened for several days in a row. The horses released by Sanniu have become fat and strong, and their bodies are round and plump. People are very curious, why are the horses released by Sanniu so fat? Zhao Caimi was also puzzled. Someone asked Sanniu, and he told them everything. From then on, all the horse releasers in the village were willing to follow Sanniu to release the horses in Qingcaoling. Sure enough, in less than a month, all the horses released in Qingcaoling in the village became fat and strong. Zhao Caimi also knew about this. He thought that there must be a golden horse in the green grass. If he could catch it, wouldn't he make a fortune? So he spent a lot of money and hired a dozen good young men. Zhao Caimi fed and drank enough for the young men, and asked them to go to Qingcaoling to catch the golden horse. If they caught it, they would be rewarded handsomely. Zhao Caimi tied a red cloth mark on the necks of the three horses released by Sanniu. He asked Sanniu to drive the horses in front, and Zhao Caimi and a dozen young men followed behind. When they reached Qingcaoling, Zhao Caimi asked the young men to disperse and ambush. He also said to the young men: "See the yellow horse without a mark on its neck, listen to my shout, everyone rush up and catch it, and no one is allowed to let go." Sanniu scattered the horses on the slope, and not long after, the golden horse really appeared again. Zhao Caimi drooled at the sight. He gathered his strength and suddenly jumped out of the bushes: "Chase!" Seeing that the situation was not good, the golden horse hissed twice and ran towards the cracked cliff. When Zhao Caimi saw the golden horse running into the cliff, he hurriedly grabbed the horse's tail, but was dragged into the cliff by the golden horse. With a "click", the cliff closed and Zhao Caimi was trapped in the cliff. In order to commemorate this yellow foal, people changed Qingcaoling to "Huangma Rock", and this magical story has been passed down to this day.
