The Emei Mountain range has a legacy of rich culture. Legend holds that an old man by the name of Pu, more popularly known as Old Pu lived in the 6th Wing Ping year of King Ming in East Han Dynasty. One day when he saw a magic deer, he followed it up to the mountains. He reached the Golden top. But all his effort went in vain as the deer suddenly disappeared.
Then he met a monk by the name of Bao Zhang. The monk told him about who actually the deer was. He told that the Puxian Buddha had been transformed into a deer. Old Pu became a monk soon after and started worshipping Pusa.
