The origin of Fairy Lake:
The name of "Fairy Lake" comes from the beautiful legend of "Fairy Descending from the Earth" recorded in "Searching for the Gods" by Gan Bao, a writer in the Eastern Jin Dynasty more than 600 years ago: a man in Xinyu County, Zhang Yu saw six or seven women in Tanaka, all wearing sweaters, but they didn't know it was a bird. When he climbed, he got a woman's sweater and took it to the bird. Every bird has flown away, and no bird can leave alone. A man married a wife and gave birth to three girls. His mother's maid asked her father, knowing that the clothes were under the rice, she went to get them and the clothes flew away. After she went, she greeted her three daughters, and the women had to fly away.
