“The immortal’s saw board falls to the human world; each piece stands against the sky, reachable by climbing.” The saw board mentioned here refers to this towering giant stone screen. According to legend, when Emperor Yao was inspecting the East Sea, he encountered fierce winds and raging waves. The Goddess of Taimu plucked the Big Dipper from the sky to guide him, saving him from danger. Grateful for her kindness, Emperor Yao ordered a temple to be built on the sacred land of Taimu.
The Jade Emperor, who had long known that the Goddess of Taimu on the fairy mountain practiced virtue and rescued the suffering, was delighted to hear of this and ordered his palace maid to bring the magic mirror. Gazing down at the mortal world from the heavenly court, he saw the steep cliffs and rugged paths of Taimu Mountain. Realizing that building a temple there would be no easy task, he summoned Taibai Jinxing and ordered him to select several skilled immortal craftsmen to descend and assist. Before long, the craftsmen drifted down on colorful auspicious clouds and landed on Taimu Mountain. Each displayed their miraculous powers, and within half a day, they had prepared all kinds of stone materials and transported them to the mountain. Just then, one craftsman suddenly remembered that no planks had been prepared. He hurried back into the mountain, selected this rock, bound it with wisteria vines, measured it, and began sawing. Soon he cut two perfectly flat boards. As he was about to saw the third, the craftsmen who had been transporting materials down the mountain turned back and saw him cutting stone slabs on the misty mountainside. They laughed heartily, and one white-haired immortal called out, “Stop sawing! Mortals use wooden planks for building houses. We now have enough wood and stone. Let us return to the heavenly palace to report our mission!” The craftsman, half believing and half doubting, looked around and indeed saw many good wooden planks already cut on Taimu Mountain. Relieved, he plucked a white cloud from the sky to wipe his sweat, stepped on it, and leisurely caught up with the other immortals. Thus, Taimu Mountain has preserved the wonder of the “Immortal’s Saw Board.”Opening hours: Open all year round, all day.
