Why is Xiqiao Mountain called Parting Mountain?

Because many couples who have been here will break up, except once or many times, some people say that Guanyin is an unmarried woman and can't see couples getting along, so they cast a spell to make couples who have been to this mountain break up.

There is also a very sad and beautiful love story. It is said that there lived a pair of very loving lovers here. The woman's name is osmanthus, and the man's name is Yingqiang. Because this man joined the army, when he left, two trees under two kinds of osmanthus flowers represented their undying love. In the end, unfortunately, the woman waited under the tree every day until she died, and didn't wait for the man she loved to come back, so the ending was tragic. Even now, you can still see these two osmanthus trees on Qiaoshan Mountain.
