Shan Juan, a native of Deshan, is said to be a hermit during the periods of Emperors Yao and Yun. He
declined being granted as the emperor and secluded himself in the Wangshan Mountain (present Deshan in
Changde). His virtues were known all over the world and became the source of the Chinese moral culture.
In the Records of Shanjuan Temple, there are such words as “In the dark green Deshan Mountain, virtues
are spread far and near; and your prestige is widely known for your virtues”. And the good reputation
that “the Deshan Mountain of Changde is virtuous” is thereby originated. (A folk proverb goes: The
Deshan Mountain of Changde is virtuous and the Shashui River of Changsha is sand-free.)
Famous scenic spots: the Peach Blossom Valley (Taohuayuan), the Jiashan Temple and the Huping
Mountain (known as the Roof of Hunan). Besides, in Chinese and foreign histories and in modern and
contemporary history, there have appeared numerous celebrities and politicians and there has always been
the saying of “without virtue, without hall”.
