In ancient times, forests stretched like a boundless sea from Moranbong to the Daesong mountain ranges. Large flocks of cranes circled over the forests. Celestials flew in on the clouds to have fun.
There were many villages near Moranbon, and the celestials met with mere mortals. They helped to get rid of various illnesses and ailments, they gave us magic potions. And people became friends with the celestials.
Once the daughter of a peasant who lived outside the gates of the Big Bear fell ill. The celestial found out about this and gave the girl a miraculous potion.
In less than a few days, the girl recovered. And from then on, the celestial being became a frequent guest of the peasant, eating earthly food, drinking wine, and having fun.
And the celestial realized that if a person has money, he can satisfy all one hundred desires. From then on, the celestial no longer gave his medicines - he sold them for money, and decided to accumulate wealth. He called the celestial to heaven, scolded him for worldly greed, deprived him of immortality and drove him away so that he could live on earth from now on.
What can you do? The celestial returned to Moranbong. He wandered along the bank of the Taedong River, chose a more spacious place, settled there, and began to cultivate the land. Afterwards he married the same peasant daughter whom he cured of illness. They gave birth to many sons and daughters and lived in peace and harmony.
Little by little people began to come here. And a whole village grew up here.
This place was considered lucky, because a celestial inhabitant settled there. The name of the village is Kanseong, which means immortal descended from heaven.
