"Five cows dismembered" was a kind of torture in Shanxi at that time, which was used to punish people who committed the most heinous crimes. During the execution, the executioner tightened the hands, legs and head of the prisoner with five strong cows, coated the tail with sesame oil and lit it. The five cows ran wildly under the severe burning pain, tearing the victims to pieces. It was in the garrison that Prince Li was tortured in this way.
Prince Li calmly faced torture and died. Although the "five cows" ran wildly, the prince with infinite strength did not move. He let out a cry, pulled the "five cows" back with gentle strength, and then burst into tears. He is not afraid of death. The sword rain in the forest has cast his fearless character, but he can't care about the mountains and rivers of the king of Jin and the industrious and simple people on the land. He wanted to bid farewell to the folks who saw him off, carried water and delivered meals during his military career, wanted to see the yellow land in northern Shaanxi that raised him for many years, and wanted to hear the sound of the Wu Yang River flowing away ... But the prince knew it very well. Because he deeply understands that his crying can only aggravate the pain of the people who won the land from him, make it more difficult for northern Shaanxi to endure the tragedy of "five cows dismembered" and only add more thoughts to the Wu Yang River. So the limbs relaxed and let the "five cows" perform their tasks. ...
"Wu Niu" seems to understand what Prince Li said, running and running with tears in his eyes ... It seems to spread the unfortunate experience of Prince Li to every village and tell all the people in this land. The first cow ran to a place where there were many passing cars and shops, so the villagers named the village "Daniudian". The second cow ran to the village where the prince led the troops to fight and built a castle, so the villagers named the village "Daniubao"; The third cow ran to the village five miles above Daniudian, so the villagers named the village Shangdaniu, and because there was a small river in the village, the village was divided into Nandaniu and Beidaniu. The fourth cow with golden fur ran to the village more than 20 miles north of Daniudian, so the villagers named the village "Yellow Cattle". The fifth cow also ran far south, nearly forty miles, until it was skinny, so the villagers named the village "calf".
In order to forever commemorate the prince who made meritorious service in guarding the border and bring peace and grace to the people of Luodi, the people of Luodi spontaneously organized themselves after he was executed, recovered all the pieces of the body of Prince Li Cunxiao, sewed his head and limbs, sewed the pieces together, and buried them on a high mound in the north of Shenshan Village, Daniudian Town, Yuanping City, which was called "Cunxiaoling" for generations.
