Deep in the azalea forest of Azalea Mountain Scenic Area (formerly Bijia Mountain) in Jiangxi’s Jinggangshan stand several slanting giant boulders shaped like golden toads with black frames, gazing upward day and night. Locals name the formation "Croaking Toad Facing the Sky", one of Bijia Mountain’s iconic vistas.

Opposite the Golden Toad Gazing at the Moon rock sprawls thick alpine azalea woods. Orioles frequently flit out to perch and sing atop the stones. The toad’s wide-open jaws seem to sound the bugle summoning revolutionary masses, and the azalea groves symbolize millions of workers and peasants roused to fight. The scene evokes the atmosphere depicted in Mao Zedong’s 1931 spring ci poem Fisherman’s Song · Against the First Large "Encirclement Campaign", written right after the Red Army’s victory over the first Kuomintang siege:

Fifty meters west of the Golden Toad rock lie several large flat stone slabs. In the old days, Wang Zuo, a local hero who once led a band of outlaws, set his base at Xingzhou and Xiazhuang beneath Bijia Mountain and frequented this spot. He and his men once held military meetings on these stones, plotting raids to abduct local tyrants for ransom—a practice locally nicknamed "sheep snatching". The bandits would seize wealthy landlords as hostages to demand huge sums of money and grain. After covering troop expenses, they distributed the rest to destitute villagers to ease their hardship.

The outlaw band followed strict unwritten rules for "sheep snatching": target only the rich, never the poor; abduct distant acquaintances, never close kin; seize outsiders from faraway villages, never nearby townsfolk.
