中国民间故事打龙王的英雄事迹
在钱塘江畔，原本的潮水并无显著之处，只是随波逐流。然而，一位巨人——钱大王，以其非凡的力量和智慧改变了这一切。他居住于萧山县境内的蜀山上，常以挑战为乐，将大石堆积成小山丘。有一次，他前往蜀山取回自己三年零三个月所烧制的盐，但仅能装入一头牛皮囊中，便又拿起另一头的大石，与肩同心试图平衡。这一次挑战成功，他跨过江面来到对岸。
当天气炎热时，尽管刚食用午餐，钱大王仍因劳累而打了个盹儿。不幸的是，这正值东海龙王巡视江面时期，当潮水猛涨至岸边，将他沉睡中的扁担旁的一头盐溶化干净。龙王闻此咸味，不适应，便仓皇逃离，却误将海洋之水也变成了咸味。
醒来的钱大王发现扁担上的石块依然原位，而另一端则失去了所有盐分。他追寻着那股咸味，最终揭开了东海龙王偷盗他的盐的事实。愤怒之下，钱大王举起铁扁担，对抗着东海Dragon King, his mighty blows caused the fish in the river to die from shock; with two blows, he overturned the bottom of the river; and with three, he forced Dragon King out of the water to beg for mercy.
The Dragon King confessed his mistake and begged for forgiveness. He explained that he had been patrolling the sea when he accidentally dissolved all of money's salt into the ocean, causing its waters to become salty as well. Money was furious but eventually forgave him on one condition: that Dragon King would use seawater to make salt as compensation and call out "Money Tide" every time there was a high tide so that Money could hear it before falling asleep.
Thus began a new era in which every time there was a high tide in Hangzhou Bay, it would stretch its neck and shout loudly until reaching where Money sat before. This area is now known as Hai'an (Sea Ancestral) city. The legendary "Qianjiang Tide" originated from this incident.
