Banpinshan, a mountain which is located in Kaohsiung Taiwan, has been recorded in Taiwan's historical books since early times. Its. ”green screen and setting sun” is renowned as one of ”the eight landscapes in Fongshan.” As a famous tourist spot, where people spend their leisure time, Banpinshan has lots of legends. These well-known legend seek to explain why the shape of the mountain is cut into half. I have been studying Banpinshan Legends actively in recent years. However, because some of the materials were hard to obtain, there were still problems that could not be solved.Nevertheless, through the discovery of new materials, these problems can be solved today. This paper aims to deal with two problems:Firstly, it is generally believed that Banpinshan in Kaohsiung came from the mountain in China. Was this legend manufactured by politics purposely or formed by folks naturally?Secondly, this paper also reviews some of the Banpinshan legends in Kaohsiung, and traces their circulation. Did the legends spread from locals to other places or the other way around?
