Introduction to Mingyue Bridge: The year Mingyue Bridge was first built is unknown, and the existing buildings were rebuilt during the Republic of China. According to legend, more than 2,500 years ago, King Wu Fu Chai and the beautiful lady Xi Shi admired the bright moon on the bridge, so the stone bridge was named Mingyue Bridge. Celebrities from past dynasties such as Bai Juyi, Pi Rixiu, Lu Guimeng, etc. also entered the ancient village here. According to legend, Emperor Huizong Zhao Ji of the Northern Song Dynasty was obsessed with Taihu stones. Deng Su, a student of Taixue, tried to persuade him to no avail and expelled Deng Su from Taixue. Although Deng Su was dismissed from his post, he was well-known for his integrity and outspokenness. Later, Deng Su lived in seclusion in Xishan and became the ancestor of the Deng family in Mingyue Bay. As a result, Mingyue Bay and the Taihu Stone formed a thousand-year romance.
