According to the Records of Shui Jing and Old Records of Xiangyang, the daughter of Emperor Yan (Southern Emperor Chi Di), named Yao Ji, died unmarried and was buried in the grandson of Wushan. Her spirit is consistent with the grass, and she is actually Ganoderma lucidum. During the Warring States Period, Song Yu of Chu called the "first king" to visit the goddess of dreams in Gaotang during the day, and the goddess came from the name "morning clouds and dusk rain". In the third story, Zhu Gong quoted the goddess in Xiangyang Ji Jiu as saying: "The Miao people of Jun will have good news, and they must be between Jianghan". Song Yu advised King Xiang of Chu to visit the goddess himself. After Song Yu's Ode to the Goddess, it is described that King Xiang of Chu really dreamed of the goddess at night, and the goddess was beautiful and elegant, but the goddess refused the pursuit of King Xiang of Chu.

Yucheng Xianren recorded that she was the 23 rd daughter of the Queen Mother of the West and was included in the Taoist system.

The goddess is a beautiful fairy who watches the clouds and rain at dusk. Influenced by the goddess Fu, Yao Ji has been used to describe beautiful women since then, which has been passed down through the ages. The myth of Yao Ji led to a series of literary works such as poems, fu, ci, songs, etc., and formed a rhyme literary corridor to describe and praise the goddess, which had a far-reaching influence in the history of literature. People use "once the sea is difficult for water, it will always be amber" to refer to loyalty to love, which shows that this is just different from love.

According to the original religious myth, the goddess should be the fusion of legends such as Yao Ji, the daughter of Emperor Yan, and Gao Qi, the goddess of Chu. In fact, did Chu Huaiwang sacrifice to Gao Qi to protect national rejuvenation, political clarity, national prosperity and personal physical and mental strength? . So Wushan Goddess is really the protector of Chu State. Dayu went to Wushan to control water, and the goddess Yao Ji gave him a magic weapon to control water and sent him to help. There is a legend in the Three Gorges that Wushan Goddess killed twelve dragons, pointed out the sailing route for sailboats, drove away tigers and leopards for the people, sowed rain for Yun Geng on earth, and gave birth to Ganoderma lucidum for treating diseases.
