Wangyangtai is called wangfutai. Its name comes from a touching story. A long time ago, when fishermen came back, they would see a middle-aged woman in ragged clothes, holding a little girl in hand, standing on the wangyangtai, overlooking the sea and watching the white sail. Sometimes, mother and daughter cried together. Until it was dark and the moon rose, they didn't go back. Whenever fishermen asked her, she had only one child I love to see the sea. In fact, it's not the case. She has a husband who lives on fishing. She falls in love with Guixiang, the daughter of the boss of a fish shop. But it's not right to be a housekeeper. Besides, Tian's wife, the boss of a fish shop, has a very bad heart. She often quarrels with Guixiang. If she wants to drive her out, she can monopolize her family property. At the end of one year, the boss died of a sudden illness. Tian's only hand was in the fish shop. In order to curry favor with local forces, he wanted to marry Guixiang to a squire as a concubine. Guixiang refused, and fled to Yousheng's home overnight. Tian felt that "if you don't go home, you'll finally get rid of your eyesore", and threatened not to go back to your mother's home. Yousheng and Guixiang finally get married. Guixiang makes fishing nets at home to do housework. Yousheng goes out to fish to earn money to support his family. They live in harmony. The next year, Guixiang gives birth to a girl, which makes the family feel more happy.

Tian's management is not good, and the fish business is declining day by day. One day, Yousheng went out to sea fishing. A boat came from a distance and came directly to Yousheng's boat. Just when Yousheng saw the figure clearly, a man on the boat raised a stick and hit Yousheng on the head. Yousheng fell into a coma in time, and a pool of blood ran with the flow. This was Tian's ruthlessness. He ordered people to kill Yousheng. In the evening, all the fishermen who went out to sea came back. Why didn't they see their friends? Guixiang was so anxious that he boarded the Wangyang platform and looked around. The vast sea was full of sails and shadows. He stood until dark and had to go home. That night, Guixiang stayed up all night, and the next morning, she went to the Wangyang platform to look around. She could not see her husband's return sail. For more than ten days, she was disappointed and returned.

The neighbors came to comfort her and advised her to relax her mind. GUI Xiang wept but didn't speak. Within three or five days, she would go to the Wangyang terrace to look at her, and each time she would come back with tears of love. Many good people also shed tears of sympathy for her. Day by day, and soon two years later, Guixiang or three or five days to Wangyang stage. I still have no choice but to return. One night, Guixiang shed tears under the lamp and weaved her net. Suddenly, she heard a hasty door call. It was the familiar and intimate voice. Regardless of her shoes, she quickly opened the door and saw that her husband came back. The couple, who were crying with joy, told the scene of farewell that night and stayed up all night.

The fishermen had to congratulate their friends on their return. Several old friends joked that it was Guixiang's waiting on the Wangyang platform that brought them back.
