Sani people of Yi ethnic group has a legend of "herding stones for forest": long long ago, Sani hero Jinfenruojia wanted build a dam for the people, so he stole the "shifting order" and "herding whip" from fairy cave, and herded the stones in southern Luliang and other places to Nanpan River in Yiliang in the north. When he arrived at Lunan Stone Forest, it was gradually dawn and the rooster with magical power started to crew. Jinfenruojia failed, and all the stones stopped at Lunan, forming the magnificent Stone Forest that we see at present.
