這個故事發生在唐朝，自從武則天當上皇帝以後，一連好幾個月，天上連一滴雨也不下，人們臉上的笑容也就此消失了。 就在這時，忽然來了一片灰色烏雲，頓時響起了響亮的雷聲，並下起了傾盆大雨，過了不久，只見大地又獲得了水分，笑容也回到人們的臉上。
有一天，一位老樵夫要上山，他拎著鋤頭往深山走，看見了各種從洞穴中醒來的昆蟲蛇獸，他知道驚蟄來了，所以十分高興！
接著，他走過了三座山、八座橋、七個山洞、兩個斷崖，竟然看見一條被壓在山下的龍。 龍告訴老樵夫牠是掌管天河的玉龍，因為地面上的皇帝是個女人，所以玉皇大帝很不是滋味，決定要罰全國百姓。其實，玉龍曾經同情過人類，偷偷降雨，所以變成西遊記中的白馬，幫助三藏到西天取經。沒想到現在卻又犯了相同的錯。除非金豆開花時，牠才能重返天宮。
到了農曆二月初二，老樵夫和幾位村民爆了玉米花帶到玉龍身邊，突然，龍背上的山消失了，龍抬起頭，衝上天際，消失了。 所以每年農曆二月初二，人們便會爆玉米花來紀念玉龍，這就是春龍節的由來。
