The history of Pingxiang

According to legend, when King Zhao of Chu crossed the river during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was something floating in the river, red and round, the size of a bucket. He asked all over the Qing dynasty, but no one knew about it, so he sent an envoy to Lu to ask Confucius: this thing is a mascot, and only the master can get it. Shi Ping's collection of the essence of heaven and earth is rare in a thousand years. Now the king of Chu has 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.
