The Grinding Needle River is at the foot of Elephant Er Mountain in Meizhou. According to legend, Li Taibai was studying in the mountains, but gave up and left before he finished reading.

Li Bai asked, "Can I grind an iron pestle into a needle?" The old woman replied. She said: "It only takes hard work!" Li Bai was moved by her perseverance and will, so he returned to the mountain to complete his studies.

②Li Taibai Jumps to the Moon

It is said that Li Taibai, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty, once came to Jinling (now Nanjing) and rested in a restaurant next to Wende Bridge. That day happened to be the fifteenth day of the winter lunar month. At night, he would sit alone in the restaurant and admire the moon, while drinking and reciting poems. Li Taibai loved the moon most in his life, saying that it was clean and beautiful. That night, he looked up and saw the bright white moon in the sky. He felt very happy and drank a few more glasses. At midnight, Li Taibai took advantage of the wine and went downstairs to Wende Bridge. As soon as he stepped onto the bridge, he lowered his head and suddenly saw the moon falling into the water. When the river moved, a few black lines were added to the white moon shadow. Li Taibai was so drunk at this time that he thought the moon was stained by the river water. He didn't even bother to take off his boots, he opened his hands and jumped off the bridge to catch the moon. Unexpectedly, with this jump, the moon was not caught, but the moon in the water was shattered, and it was immediately divided into two halves. ——The story is passed down like this. Later, people built a "de platform" next to Wende Bridge. It is said that this is the place where the great poet Li Taibai admired the moon.
