The colorful song album "Liu Sanjie" released in the mainland in 1961, starring Huang Wanqiu, was very popular. The folk songs in the film became popular songs in the streets at that time. After the Cultural Revolution, "Sanjie Liu" was re-released twice in Hong Kong in the 1970s and 1980s, and both were hits.

A young man from Baihe Township was singing while climbing a mountain. Cantonese people, Yao and Zhuang people gathered around to watch him. Ten hundred floors, I thought it was an immortal. The songs continued for seven days and nights, and they all turned into stone. The locals worshiped it on the Yangchun Jinshi Rock... It is shaped like nine curves and can accommodate one person. It is dark and shiny, and it is also the relic of Sanmei. . Sun and evening, I often hear the sound of sheng and cranes. When I am mature, it seems that someone is singing on the top of the rock.

"Walking more than 40 miles on the country road from Luocheng County to Huaiqun Town, you can see these two big rocks. It is understood that these two large stones located in Jianjiang Village, Huaiqun Town have been standing upright since ancient times. Because of their image, they were named "Sanjie Wangxiang" and "Xiushan Wangbang" by the locals. The two mountains where the two big rocks are located stand opposite each other, about 200 meters apart. The "Third Sister" and the "Xiucai" look at each other from a distance.

On a mountain opposite, a peak seemed to have been split off to form a natural cliff, with a large stone standing on the side. Looking up from the foot of the mountain, it looks like a scholar standing on the top of the mountain, looking up, as if he is carefully checking whether he is "on the list." The ribbon on the scholar's hat is blown up by the mountain wind. "Liu Sanjie's hometown is in Luocheng."
