According to legend in the Samguk Yusa, in 795, the 11th year of Silla King Wonseong, missionaries from the Tang Dynasty of visited Silla. The missionaries changed three dragons protecting Silla into small fish and took them away to Tang China with them, hidden in bamboo.

The next day two women, identifying themselves as two of the dragons' wives, living in Dongji pond and Cheongji pond, came to the king and asked the king to retrieve their dragon husbands taken by the Tang emissaries. The king immediately sent his men in to bring back the dragons, permitting them live in the Bunhwangsa well.
