Introduction to the Snake-Swallowing Appearance: Inside the Binyang Gate of Shouxian County, there are stone carvings of five large snakes swallowing elephants. There is a legend about the Snake-Swallowing Appearance. It is said that there was a python spirit who violated the rules of heaven and was bombarded by a thunder god, and later turned into a small snake. The snake curled up in the dust, and was discovered by a poor scholar during an outing, who rescued it. The little snake grew bigger and bigger, but its life became increasingly difficult. Later, it was learned that whoever could save the Empress Dowager from her illness could reach heaven in one step. Later, a giant python that had saved his life was found in the Beishan jungle. The giant python learned about the Empress Dowager's condition, and in order to repay the scholar for saving his life, he asked the scholar to cut his heart and liver to cure the Empress Dowager's illness. Later, he was sentenced to death for curing the Empress Dowager's illness. After being appointed as the prime minister, the later scholar wanted to use it for himself in the future and live forever, so he once again asked the big snake to cut his heart. The big snake saw through the scholar's inadequacy, so when he cut his heart and liver, the pain was unbearable, his whole body twitched, and he closed his mouth. The scholar was buried in the belly of the snake!
