She once was the little daughter of a Wang family in Jiaozhou and became a nun to save herself from a diseases when still a child. Living an austere life alone in the cave for 18 years, she was buried under the cave when she passed away. There is a seasonal river called Shitou River which originates from the south hillside of Gaoshiwu and runs to the east through Beichangling and Xiachangling to the Yellow Sea. The village is named after its location as it sits below a slope.
