Where is Shi Ping's hometown?
Pingxiang legend has it that during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when King Zhao of Chu crossed the river, there was something floating in the river, red and round, as big as a bucket. He inquired about the Manchu dynasty, and no one knew about it, so he sent messengers to Lu to ask Confucius. Confucius said that this thing is called Shi Ping, which is a mascot. Only the master can get it. Shi Ping's collection of the essence of heaven and earth is rare in a thousand years. The king of Chu got it, which is a sign that Chu will be revived. Therefore, later generations called Pingxiang "the hometown of Shi Ping", that is, the place where the King of Chu pacified.
