 In the Tang Dynasty, there lived a person called Chun Yufen. One day, his friend came to celebrate his brithday, and Chun Yufen was drinking under an old pagoda tree. When he became drunk, he fell asleep dazzledly, Chun Yufen met with two atomies who took him into the giant hole in the tree, to have a ride to the  great Kingdom of Pagoda. 
Chun Yufen found himself in a fairy world with many red gates, magnificent palaces, luxuriant pavilions, and beautiful gardens.  The king appereciated  him so much that he was named the mayor of Nanke, a small twon in the Kingdom. 

Soon after, he married the king’s beautiful daughter. Chun Yufen was so happy  with live there that he totally forgot his hometown. Twenty years passed, and Chun Yufen stayed as the very successful mayor of Nanke, making everything there in perfect order, and raised a big famly of 5 son and 2 daughters.  

However, the kingdom was invaded by another one and Chun Yufen had to lead the troops to hold out the enemies.  Unfortunately, his troops were defeated and at the same time his wife died. Chun Yufen decided to leave the Kingdom of pagoda. 

He was sent home by the 2 atomies.  As soon as he arrived home, he suddenly woke up to realize what had happened was just a dream. It was only a short nap, even though in his dream he had experienced a whole 20 years of life. 

Chun Yufen’s friends were interested to hear his dream. They looked down the tree, found an ant nest, connected to a smaller nest in the south direction. 

Obviously, these nests explained what “ Pagoda Kingdom” and  “Nanke” really were!
