| The legend of the ‘Lake of the Pregnant Maiden’ is about a celestial princess who is tricked into marriage. She becomes pregnant and has a baby. Unfortunately the baby dies after a couple of days of being born, and at the same time she finds out that she has been tricked into marriage. Heart broken, she buries the baby in the lake and bless the lake with magical fertility powers, returning to the heavens, never to be seen again. According to local folklore, the Lake of the Pregnant Maiden possesses the power to make barren women pregnant. |
