Introduction to the Star Building: It is said that a long time ago, there was a small village under the Star Building. In the village lived a poor family, including an old couple and a fifteen-year-old son, Wang Lin. This year, there was a plague in the village, and the old couple also got sick. They borrowed money from the rich man Li San. Before the old couple recovered from the disease, Li San forced Wang Lin to work as a long-term worker in his house to pay off the debt. Wang Lin went up the mountain to cut firewood for the rich man. When it rained, he hid in a cave to take shelter. In the dimness, an old man told him a way to cure the plague. At dusk that day, Wang Lin went up to the top of the mountain, raised the basket to the sky, bowed eight times to the south as instructed by the immortal, and then picked a popcorn into the basket. After Wang Lin returned home, he shined stars on his parents, and they recovered immediately. Wang Lin held the star in his hand and treated people from house to house, and all the patients in the village were cured overnight. At the fifth watch, Wang Lin followed the instructions of the Immortal and went up the mountain with a basket and bowed eight times to the north. He saw a white light and the divine star flew into the sky again. When the rich man Li San heard that Wang Lin had obtained the divine star, he asked Wang Lin to go and treat him. However, the star had passed away and the rich man had no choice but to die that night. In order to thank Wang Lin, the villagers built a small pavilion on the top of the mountain and named it "Xingguang Pavilion". Therefore, the mountain was named "Star Picking Tower".
