One day, he finally asked his father to let him give it a try, and Apollo reluctantly agreed. At first it was very smooth, but because Faye was too smug and the skills were not mature, so when it was about to reach the highest point, Tianma suddenly lost control. The carriage carrying the hot sun deviated from the orbit and rushed to the ground, causing a major disaster. In order to save everything, Zeus, the god of the gods, had to strike the Elyanus River with the same carriage as the horse. The brother-in-law of Faye’s sister, Heli Ades, was extremely saddened by his misfortune. Soon he became a poplar on both sides of the river bank because he could not stand the blow. After the sad tears that they shed, they became The crystal amber, this story was later written into the Metamorphosis by the Roman poet Ovid.

Therefore, in the "Zheng Yi Ma Zhai Ban Cave", Du Fu has the poem "The thick amber of the spring wine glass, the ice bowl is agate cold", which shows that the amber in the Tang Dynasty was the same as the agate. favorite. Modern early amber was owned by the aristocratic class, and the amber worn by the first lady of the United States, Martha Washington, is still displayed in the National Museum of American History.
