2. WU GANG cut Guangxi.
Wu Gang's felling of Gui is one of the ancient myths and legends in China. According to legend, WU GANG was punished by the Emperor of Heaven and went to the Moon Palace to cut down osmanthus trees, but the osmanthus trees were cut down. The Emperor of Heaven took this endless labor as a punishment for WU GANG.
Legend has it that there is a laurel tree 500 feet high on the moon. There was a man named WU GANG in the Han Dynasty who was obsessed with fairy tales and didn't concentrate on reading. Therefore, the Emperor of Heaven was furious and detained him in the Moon Palace to cut down the osmanthus trees in the Moon Palace. He said: "Cut down osmanthus trees and you will get skills."
WU GANG began to cut laurel trees, but every time WU GANG cut an axe, the tree wound healed immediately.
