马耳山——Horse’sEarsMountain

战国时期,马耳山一带尚无山.东南坡有一青年,名曰柳荆,武艺高超、箭法超群,以打猎为生.

一日,柳荆外出打猎,忽闻狼嚎之声,大喜,循声而去,却见四恶狼围攻一小青马,小青马虽拼死抵抗,仍危在旦夕.柳荆见状,弯弓搭箭,一箭正中头狼左眼.头狼一命呜呼,同伴仓皇而逃.

小青马感恩戴德,从此便为柳荆坐骑.两年后,小青马已成大青马.此时,燕国武将秦开与东胡交战,招兵买马.柳荆遂应征入伍.柳荆作战勇敢,屡立奇功,大青马随主人出生入死,功不可没.一日,两军激战,柳荆不幸重伤,大青马救主心切,连跑数百里将柳荆送回营帐,柳荆得救,大青马却活活累死.

上天感念大青马舍身救主,将其点化成仙,变为天马.大青马在天宫常思念主人,见柳荆已年迈多病,生活困顿,甚为不忍.一日,大青马私自叼走粮种、树种下凡,又让柳荆过上了好日子,粮种、树种也救济了附近百姓.

大青马触犯天条,为惩罚大青马,上天将其化作石土,填平此地水坑,只留两耳露于地面,倾听天庭召唤.大青马虽死而无怨,但仍甚为着急,耳朵越长越大,便形成今日之马耳山.
