According to legend, in 2 10 BC, Qin Shihuang's southern tour "asked for the sword of the prince of Wu and sent it to He Lv's tomb". When he saw the white tiger crouching on the tiger hill, he led the troops to chase it for more than twenty miles. The place where the tiger disappeared was called "Tiger Scar". In the Tang Dynasty, the taboo of tigers was changed to "tiger tiger".
Qian Liu, king of wuyue in the Five Dynasties, was jealous of tuberculosis, so he changed his name to "Hu Shu". Wu Junru's paintings continued in Song Dynasty, also known as "vanity".
