Moshan is actually an extinct volcano, and the mountain is full of volcanic stones formed by frequent volcanic eruptions, which are worn away when they fall. Legend has it that Zhu Yuanzhang's mother, who was pregnant with Liujia, passed by here at night when she was pregnant, and unfortunately tripped over a stone in the mountain, touched the stone with her hand, and struggled forward, and was hit by a sharp volcanic stone and broke her knee. Zhu Yuanzhang's mother sighed that if the stone was round, it would be good, and as soon as the words were finished, the sharp places in the mountain should be smoothed out.

There is also such a legendary story of the construction of moshan temple, it is said that when the construction workers were digging the foundation, the foundation dug in the daytime was restored to its original appearance at night, and it was like this for several days, everyone did not think of a good solution, and when there was no way out, a white-haired old man stood up and pointed out a way out for the workers, so that the craftsmen would put shovels and so on on the four corners of the hall when the work was about to end in the evening. The next day, the foundation was not abnormal, but there was a lot of blood in the ravine, and where this blood stain came from, the mystery has not yet been revealed.
