One of the most intriguing legends, "Tale of the White Snake", was spread over generations in Chinese folklore, depicting a fantastic love story about a thousand-year-old snake spirit fighting an evil monk for her marriage to her human lover.

He believed in Fengshui measuring that the geography of Zhenjiang was too powerful to be under his control. Adopted his Fengshui adviser's suggestion, the emperor ordered three thousands of prisoners to dig a tunnel along hills to intend diverting the superpower out of the town. However, the tunnel only drained the water away from the town but never destroy its soul, in which Zhenjiang eventually raised two emperors and a king after the Qin.
