Historical legend of ear washing pool
Legend has it that Yao in ancient times wanted to give up his throne. Xu You is a "noble" person who doesn't ask politics. He not only refused Yao's request, but also fled to Lushan overnight, unable to live in seclusion.

At this time, Yao felt more modest and sent someone to invite him, saying, "If you don't accept the throne, I hope to come out as the' Governor of Kyushu'. Unexpectedly, Xu You was even more disgusted after hearing the news. He immediately ran to Shui Ying at the foot of the mountain and washed his ears with water.

Xu You's friend Chao Fu also lives in seclusion here. At this time, he happened to take a calf to feed the water, so he asked Xu You what he was doing. Xu You told him the news and said, "How can I not wash my innocent ears quickly after hearing such unclean words?" Hearing this, Chao Fu sneered, "Hum, who told you to show off outside and get ahead? Now you're in trouble. You brought it on yourself. Why are you all ears! Forget it, don't defile my calf mouth! " Said, pulling the calf, going upstream.
