The beautiful story of "Zhu Hui He Pu": according to legend, the Pearl fairy in the sky saw the desolate and frail fishing village in the South China Sea. The fishermen's families were poor, and their life was hard. They voluntarily fell down from the fairy palace to the bottom of the sea. They let the sea water soak and the waves washed to become pearls. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the court officials and local corrupt officials brutally oppressed the exploitation of the pearl farmers, forcing the farmers to gather pearls day and night, and the people could not afford to live. The Pearl fairy looks in her eyes and hurts in the heart, leaving the Beibu Gulf and rushes towards the rough sea. From that point the Beibu Gulf area could never pick up the brilliant pearl. Later, Meng Meng tasted the coastal pearl pond, and attacked the eunuchs and profiteers. Pearl fairy saw everything, secretly pleased, quietly returned to the infinite attachment of the Beibu Gulf, and people picked up sparkling pearls.

The city is on the verge of the sea, and there are many Mother Pearl pools, especially Bai Long Yang Meichi. In the three years (218 years) of Jin Taikang, the emperor of Emperor Wu sent three thousand cavalry to the Bailong Chi Chi, which stipulates that the people may not enter the pool to collect beads. Later, the Bailong pearl pond in Hepu was the key place of jurisdiction. According to legend, a young pearl man picked up a pearl and ran into the sea after a windfall.
