A long time ago, there was a type of low shrub that grew all over this area. Its leaves were about ten to twenty centimeters in diameter. If the skin accidentally came into contact with the hairs on the leaf surface, it would immediately become intensely itchy, feeling as if it were being burned by fire, making one restless. Mild cases took 2 days to heal, while severe cases took 3 to 4 days. This plant is commonly known as "Biting Dog," which is why the local people named this mountainous area "Biting Dog Pit."
