What was found needs to be verified: Legend has it that there was a talented Zhuang man named Wei Tegui who served as a minister under the Tu Emperor. One year there was a severe drought. In order to relieve the suffering of the people, he invited the Tu Emperor to visit Zhuang Township in person and used a trick to trick the emperor.
The emperor later found out that he had been tricked and regarded Tegui as a thorn in his side, and ordered him to be arrested and brought to justice. When the people of Zhuang Township heard about this, they sent Tegui up the mountain to hide overnight, so they set fire to the mountain because it was a lunar day.
On the third day of March, after the emperor's soldiers left, the villagers found Tegui's body in a cave of a big maple tree and buried him with tears next to the maple tree. From then on, on the third day of March every year, the Zhuang people used maple leaves and other plant juices to bury him.
