It is said that in ancient times, there was a large snake. Every year, a virgin needed to be sent to it for the sacrifice. Nine girls had been sent when it was Li Dan’s daughters’ turn. Li Dan from Jiangle County had six daughters. The 12-year-old one named Li Ji volunteered to be sent to the snake. Li Dan and his wife didn’t agree. Li Ji secretly found a good sword and a dog which could bite the snake. She tried to kill the snake at last and the place was safe. Some songs about this brave and intelligent girl have been sung till now.
