1. The Hometown of Deer
 
(1) A place for salt merchants to breathe a sigh of relief
 
Luming, formerly known as Lukuit, was located in Buxia Village, Mingjian Township, Nantou County. Buxia Village is composed of two major villages, the eastern half is Buxia with lower terrain; the western half is Luming with a relatively high terrain.
 
Since ancient times, ＂people will not go hundreds of miles to sell firewood, nor will they go thousands of miles to sell rice＂, because people do not engage in unprofitable transactions. However, salt is an irreplaceable daily necessity, so salt merchants must set off from Lugang in Changhua and work hard to carry salt to sell in the Nantou area, even deep into mountainous, like Puli. On the way, there is a resting place for merchants, where many people are used to replacing worn-out straw sandals. Over time, a small hill of straw sandals is formed, which is why this place is called ＂Grass Shoes Dun＂, which is today's Caotun.
 
Nantou County is famous for its many mountains, salt merchants from Lugang must travel long distances and cross mountains and ridges; Although facing the lush green mountains, most of them have no intention of watching. They only know that for the sake of life and sales, no matter how deep mountains and wild fields are worth moving forward. The business route always twists and turns along the foot of the mountain, which is generally not particularly difficult; However, shortly after departing from Changhua County, when they arrived at Qingshui Rock in Shetou Township, they had to face a severe test.
