According to legend, Guan Yunchang, commander-in-chief of Shu in the Three Kingdoms, was guarding Jingzhou when he suddenly met the Nine Fairies. Pass on the will of the Queen Mother, saying that the swords and soldiers in Jingzhou have moved too much, and they should be taken back and put in the land of God, and no mortal is allowed to compete. Guan Gong was loyal to his younger brother and wouldn't let Jingzhou, so he thought of a plan and said to the fairy, "You are in the northwest and I am in the southeast, each building a city. On Friday, the crows stopped after walking a thousand steps in the city. Whoever builds it first will manage this place. "

Nine immortals used their skirts to collect soil, and Guan Gong cut reeds to build a city. Guan Gong is only a corner away from nine fairy tale cities, and the chickens haven't crowed yet. Guan Gong vibrated the reed mat in the chicken coop, the cock crowed, and the nine fairies were ashamed of heaven. This is the origin of the tomb of nine women outside the north gate of Jingzhou.
