Folk customs of Guanyinshan Forest Park

According to legend, a long time ago, the Eight Immortals swam to Guanyin Mountain, and a flower seedling in the basket on He Xiangu's shoulder accidentally slipped out and landed in Yaofo Mountain of Guanyin Mountain. As soon as the flower seedlings touched the fertile land, they miraculously took root and sprouted immediately, and they flourished into forests in the blink of an eye. The immortals applauded and rode down the bamboo forest to watch. It doesn't matter at first glance, but all the gods are printed in the bamboo forest. From a distance, the bamboo forest is sometimes like a secret business event where eight people get together, sometimes like two people looking at each other, and sometimes like three people standing alone or standing alone or lying down or lying down, much like a lame man with a beard, riding a donkey backwards, elegant and delicate He Xiangu, an unruly blue crane, gentle Han Xiangzi and rich Cao Guojiu, with various shapes and changes. This is the beautiful bamboo forest in Yaofo Mountain, which makes tourists applaud and marvel.

Deep in the dense forest of Guanyin Mountain, there is a quiet lake. According to legend, more than 300 years ago, there was a small hut by the pond where A Niu, a mountaineer, lived. A Niu never left Guanyin Mountain, nor did he get married and have children. The greatest pleasure in his life is playing with fish and shrimp in a small pond. Therefore, the joys and sorrows of A Niu are linked with the fish and shrimp in the pond. Until one day, when A Niu was cooking wild vegetables, he accidentally burned his hut. Seeing that the fire was about to threaten the vast forest of Guanyin Mountain, something incredible happened at this juncture. Fish and shrimp in the small pond jumped ashore, jumped into the sea of fire and flapped the flames. When the villagers at the foot of the mountain heard the news, the fire had been put out. There was only a faint scent of fish and shrimp at the scene, but A Niu was gone. Soon, the villagers spontaneously raised funds and built a temple named Kannonji on the original site of a small hut in A Niu. The small pond in front of the temple was called Thanksgiving Lake.
