   Legend has it that a close relative of Shen Lie was assassinated by officials of Liangzhou Prefecture within Liangzhou City. Enraged, Shen Lie ordered all men in Liangzhou taller than a cartwheel to be exiled to the Baitinghai Desert to cultivate Cynomorium songaricum, never to return to Liangzhou. Over time, Liangzhou became a city inhabited only by women and children, and the locals called it the "Kingdom of Women of Western Liang." During the Ming Dynasty, the novelist Wu Cheng'en, while gathering material and researching historical records, came across this unique history and was instantly inspired. In writing *Journey to the West*, which tells the story of the four travelers, Tang Sanzang and his disciples, he specifically included the classic chapter on the Kingdom of Women of Western Liang, transforming this Liangzhou story into a fantastical and moving backdrop for his novel, allowing this long-forgotten history to be passed down through the ages in a unique way.
