During the flood season, the Ze water is relatively turbid and the Wei water is relatively clear. In non-flood season, Jingshui is relatively clear, and Weishui is relatively turbid. The two waters meet willfully, clear and turbid, and the boundaries are unusually clear, forming a famous natural and cultural spectacle at home and abroad-"distinct".
The well-known idiom "totally different" comes from the intersection of two rivers. It is said that at the junction of water mirror and Weishui, the turbid water is clear and the boundary is clear but not mixed, which is used to describe the clear boundary.

According to legend, during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, King Jinghe made a bet with Yuan Shoucheng, a charlatan, and deliberately violated the jade emperor's will to reduce rainfall, which resulted in a violation of the dogma. Heaven ordered Wei Zhi, minister of the Tang Dynasty, to ask King Jinghe. The night before he was executed, King Jinghe begged Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong, for help, and Emperor Taizong agreed.
The next day, Emperor Taizong asked Wei Zhi to play chess with him, so that Wei Zhi could not kill the Dragon King. Unexpectedly, Wei Zhi fell asleep in the middle of the game. When he woke up, he said that he dreamed that King Jinghe was beheaded. This is the famous dragon king who cut off the Jinghe River in Zheng Weimeng's dream. Wu Cheng'en of the Ming Dynasty also wrote this story in The Journey to the West.
