According to legend, an ancient emperor delayed the time of offering sacrifices to heaven, so the Jade Emperor ordered that it should not rain here for three years. The persistent drought made people miserable. Qinglong, the youngest son of the Dragon King, couldn't bear to watch the people suffer disasters and starve, so he secretly sent a rain to the world. When the Jade Emperor learned about this, he put Qinglong at the foot of a big mountain and said that if he wanted to climb Lingxiao Hall again, the golden beans would blossom.
On the second day of the second lunar month, people take out many soybean and corn seeds from home to dry. An old man found that these soybeans and corn were very similar to golden beans, so the old man fried them into flowers. Everyone followed suit and then enshrined it in the yard.
Seeing that every household supplied flowering "golden beans", the Jade Emperor had to order a pardon for Qinglong. Immediately, the mountain was split in half, and the Qinglong broke through the rocks and took off with its head held high. Since then, the saying "On February 2nd, the dragon looked up" has been handed down.
