One year, Shandong craftsman Lu Ban came to Hangzhou with his little sister. They rented two pavements near Qiantangmen and put up the signboard "Shandong Lushi, made of iron, wood and stone". As soon as the signboard was put up, door-to-door people smashed the threshold. Luban was choosy and took 180 bright young students as apprentices. Sister Lu's craftsmanship is extremely exquisite. This is really strange: a carved dog can watch the door, and a carved cat can catch mice. At their suggestion, 180 apprentices became masters.

One day, my sister Lu Ban was seriously teaching her disciples how to live. Suddenly, a black wind blew and dark clouds suddenly rolled up in the sky. It turned out that a snakehead came to the world to make trouble. This snakehead elf dived into a 360-foot-deep pool in the center of Hangzhou West Lake. It blows in the deep pool, and the fish in Hangzhou stink; It sprays water in deep pools and rains on the north and south mountains. On this day, the willow trees by the lake broke, the flowers withered and the water kept rising.

Elder martial sister Lu climbed the Baoshan Mountain with 180 disciples. Looking down the hill, they saw a piece of Wang Yang in front of them. Houses all over the city were soaked in smelly water, and men, women and children fled to the mountains around the West Lake. In the middle of the lake, there is a big boss whirlpool. In the whirlpool, a wide fish mouth tilts up, and the fish mouth sticks higher and higher, slowly revealing the whole big fish head. The fish head stood up, and suddenly a black cloud flew up and soared into the sky. Dark clouds floated to the top of the gem, and then slowly fell, from which a dark and ugly young man appeared.

The young man in black turned his protruding cross-eyed eyes and glanced at Lu Mei: "Ha! Beautiful girl, what do you do? "

Lu Mei said, "You ask that girl what she does. She is a skillful craftsman. "

Later, Hei saw Rumei's feet from the beginning and said, "Yes, yes! I see your bright eyes and crooked eyebrows. You must be able to cut them skillfully. Go and make new clothes with me. " Sister Lu shook her head. Lu Mei saw her head from under her feet: "Yes, yes! I see your delicate hands. You must have good needle and thread. Come with me to embroider the brocade quilt. " Sister Lu shook her head. Young people can't guess. He thought about it, narrowed his eyes and said, "It doesn't matter if you can't cut a beautiful girl or embroider." If you marry my family, you will never eat all the delicious food, so you will be happy to enjoy your life. "Say, stretch out your hand to pull Lu Mei. Lu Yi Hammer spread his hands and shouted, "Get out!" The black monkey still grinned and said, "My skin is three feet thick and I'm not afraid of your hammer! The eldest daughter married me and can say anything. The big girl won't marry me, and then the mountain will be flooded! "Sister Lu thinks that if the water rises again, the whole city will die. She rolled her eyes twice, and then she had an idea. She said to Black Housheng, "I'm not in a hurry to marry you. Let my brother do my dowry. "

The black monkey was very happy and said, "Good girl, I promise you. What dowry are you going to make? "

Lu Mei said: "The mountains are high and the rocks are high. I asked my brother to chisel it into a big incense burner. "

The black monkey patted his thigh happily: "All right, all right! The snakehead king in the sky built a temple in the sky. There is a stone incense burner that you married, so you can collect it and support it! "

Sister Lu took her brother to discuss for a while. Lu Ban said to Black Housheng, "Water is in the east and water is in the west. What should we do? You put the water down first and I'll do it. "

As soon as the young man spoke, the flood in the city flew up and flooded into his stomach. Lu Ban pointed to a cliff on the mountain and asked the black monkey, "Look, look, how about cutting this mountain down and chiseling a censer?" The young man said, "All right, all right. Brother-in-law, chisel quickly. The bigger the chisel, the more beautiful it is! "

Lu Ban said, "The incense burner is tall and big. How can you move a heavy stone censer? " Hou Sheng said, "Ha ha, as long as I raise my feet, there will be black wind behind me. What is a small stone incense burner? I can even suck a mountain! "People who fled to the surrounding mountains went home, and Lu Ban climbed the upside-down cliff. Lu Ban swung a sledgehammer and struck the first hammer on the cliff: his 180 disciples struck 180 hammer. The cliff collapsed with a bang. -Since then, a cliff has been left on the Baoshi Mountain near the West Lake. What a big cliff, white on one side and white on the other. How can you carve a round stone incense burner? Lu Chao aimed at the deep pool in the middle of the lake, estimated its size, pinched a long rope, stood in the middle of the cliff, and asked her sister to tighten the other end of the rope. After running for a week, Rumei's footprints drew a circle on the cliff. Lu Ban chiseled the details first, and one hundred and eighty disciples chiseled them like this. Digging day after day, in 7749 days, the cliff disappeared and became a big stone incense burner. Under the bulging incense burner, there are three inverted gourd-shaped pointed feet; On the toe cap, there is a round hole transparent on three sides. After the stone incense burner was chiseled, Lu Ban said to the black epigenetic:

"Look, look, my sister's dowry is ready. Please go to the lake now! "

Black afterlife leads to the bride. Lu Ban said, "Don't be busy, don't be busy. Move the dowry and arrange it first, and then send a sedan chair to carry it. " Black Housheng was so happy that he turned and ran down the hill. The whirlwind he rolled up sucked in such a big stone incense burner behind him and rolled it up. The man in black ran and ran to the middle of the lake, turned into a snakehead and got into a deep pool. The incense burner rolled around to the middle of the lake, and the slope next to the deep pool slipped down and fell over with a bang, covering the deep pool tightly without leaving a gap. Black fish is covered under the stone incense burner, which is suffocating; Up to the top, the stone incense burner does not move; I want to blow a gust of wind, but I can't turn around and leave. I can't help but try to get down. The more you drill down, the more the incense burner sinks. The snakehead essence finally suffocated at the bottom of the lake, and the incense burner sank into the mud at the bottom of the lake, leaving only three gourd-shaped feet on the lake.

Since then, the West Lake has left a wonderful scene: every Mid-Autumn Festival night, people paddle boats to the middle of the lake and light candles in the round holes on three sides of the stove foot; When candlelight reflected on the lake, the shadow of the moon appeared. Later, this place was conveniently called "Santan Yin Yue".
