The legend of duck blood glutinous rice in Shajiabang, Changshu City

Long ago, there was a Bailongtan at the top of the northern foot of Woniu Mountain in Changshu, in which lived Xiaobailong, the son of the East China Sea Dragon King. The pool was deep and led directly to the East China Sea Dragon Palace.

Since Xiaobailong lived here, it has jumped out of Bailongtan every few days and made a cruise to the sky to protect the common people in this land in the south of the Yangtze River. Therefore, it is more and more beautiful here, with abundant crops, people living and working in peace and contentment, and a group of Taoyuan fairyland.

One day, the little white dragon returned to the Dragon Palace to celebrate the birthday of the old dragon king. Unexpectedly, just a few days after it left, a one-horned dragon roared from thousands of miles away and occupied Bailongtan. All day long, it made trouble, and for a time, sand and stones flew away, and the people complained bitterly.

After learning about it, Xiaobailong fought with the one-horned dragon in Bailongtan for seven days and seven nights, which drove the one-horned dragon away, and Woniu Mountain regained its former peace. However, Xiaobailong was also bruised and bruised all over, leaving his wounds to be washed by the gurgling spring water, which had been dyed red by Xiaobailong's blood.

When Xiaobailong returned to heaven, the local people found that the rice harvested in the rice field where the spring water flowed was purple and had the fragrance of common herbs. The rice cooked with this rice was fragrant for hundreds of steps. After the sick people eat it, they only feel strong and healthy, and they are refreshed. Everyone says it's the little white dragon's blood.
