According to legend, in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty (1736-1795), after drinking the spring water given by the locals of Xiping, Mr. Wang alertly discovered a tea tree with a strange shape and dense branches under the stone. He transplanted it back to his garden and watered it with the spring water from the cliff.
