The origin of Caofeidian: According to legend, Cao Fei, the beloved princess of Emperor Taizong, was accompanied by the army when she was ill. Later, Cao Fei became the goddess of the sea to protect people who went out to sea from the wind and waves, hence the name Caofeidian.

Pingju "The Legend of Caofeidian" is a costume drama written and performed by literary and art workers in Luannan County. On the basis of Caofeidian folklore, through bold artistic processing and innovation, a tearful ancient love story is deduced, and at the same time, it also puts a romantic color on the booming Caofeidian Dagang.

In the play, Emperor Taizong cruised eastward from the waterway in the name of "General Wan" and sailed to Bohai Bay, where he was caught in a big storm. Fortunately, Cao Xianer, disguised as a man, piloted Pearl Island to avoid danger. When repairing the damaged ship, Cao Xianer cured the soldier's strange disease with seafood remedies. "General Wan" had a love for Cao Xianer, who was brave, smart and handsome, and Cao Xianer also had a special liking for "General Wan". In order to cure the soldiers of night blindness, "General Wan" and his son took a boat to chase the sea eel. While catching the moray eel, the son was poisoned to save General Wan. "General Wan" built a three-story hall on Pearl Island to commemorate her son, and wrote "Caofeidian" personally, and renamed Pearl Island Caofeidian. The plot is compact, vivid and touching.

The origin of Caofeidian

This island has no name. In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, king of the Tang Dynasty, crossed the ocean to conquer the East and returned to Korea. King Tang ordered the ships to sail along the shallow water along the coast and have fun.

A concubine named Cao Xian took part in the Eastern Expedition. She is very beautiful. She can not only sing and dance well, but also sing and dance well. She has been riding a horse for several years, and now she is going back to Haixi, so she is considerate to Tang Wang in every way. After leaving North Korea, the Tang Palace liked her very much and waited on her in the morning and evening with Tang Wang's poems and games. Due to Cao Fei's weak constitution, the ship sailed to the waters of Luannan County and became seriously ill. After being treated by a military doctor, he still vomited. The boat passed by this small island, and the King of Tang ordered the dragon boat to dock to help Cao Fei to go to the island for treatment. Cao Fei's illness became more and more serious, and later she died on the island. Li Shimin lost his beloved princess, so he decided to build a three-story hall on the island, carve the statue of Cao Fei, and named it Cao Fei Hall. Since then, fishermen and sea travelers have been burning incense, and the island was named Caofeidian.
