According to legend, a long time ago, a general surnamed She came to Sheshan Mountain and settled here. He was attracted by the beautiful landscape and tranquil environment. As time passed, the mountain also followed the surname of the general and was call Sheshan Mountain.

General She was a sword maker and was good at casting them. He spent three years in the mountain casting an unparallel sword. This sword was shiny and sharp. It could cut a stone as if it was cutting mud and cut trees as if it was cutting turnip. The general was excited and built a sword storage pavilion in the northern peak.

One day, a new general camped at the foot of the mountain. He was puzzled by the blue light being emit from the mountain. He went to the northern peak and saw the old general was playing with a sword, which shone a brilliant blue light.

He knelt down before the old general to express his respect. The old general saw the new general was a man of striking appearance. He passed the sword to him and asked him to cut a stone with the sword. The stone was cut into two pieces at once. The old general gave the sword to the new general.

With this sword, the new general won countless battles. People built a memorial pavilion called the "General's Pavilion" in Sheshan Mountain. The General's Pavilion still stands in the East Sheshan Mountain.
