A long time ago, this area was filled with a kind of low shrub whose leaf diameter was about ten to twenty centimeters. If the skin accidentally touched the hairs on the leaf surface, an intense itching sensation would immediately occur, feeling as if it were being burned by fire, making it difficult for people to sit still. Mild cases would last for 2 days, while severe cases would take 3 to 4 days to heal. This plant is commonly known as "Biting Dog," so the local people referred to this mountain area as "Biting Dog Pit."
