More than five thousand years ago, Emperor Yan completed the major transition of the Chinese nation from nomadic to settled, from fishing and hunting to farming in Shangdang. Nvwa, the daughter of Emperor Yan, worked with her father to deal with floods. Unfortunately, she drowned and turned into a Jingwei bird. She "often carries wood and stones from the Western Mountains in her arms and carries them to the East China Sea." Fajiu Mountain is in Changzi County, and the Lingqiu Temple on the mountain was built in memory of Nvwa.
