In the middle of the lake, there is a green lawn shaped like a poisonous snake tongue, which is called snake tongue lawn. It is said that when tsanpu Chisong Dezan built the Sangye temple in Tibet, he was worried that there was no gold to put gold powder on the Buddhas. Master lianhuasheng gave an idea to tsanpu and said: please go to the rich man Mo Zhu Si Jin Long Wang to get gold. Zanpu chisongdezan went to the sijinlacuo lake. When he came to a black Lake named Guo Dilang near the Zhefeng mountain in the south of the sijinlacuo lake, a fierce poisonous snake suddenly rushed out of the Black Lake. It swam across the sijinlacuo lake and blocked Zanpu chisongdezan's way. At this critical moment, master lianhuasheng subdued the snake from Zhongba cave, cut off its tongue immediately, threw it into the lake, and then became the snake tongue lawn.

Beside the snake tongue lawn, there is a green lawn shaped like a card mat formed along the lake, which is made by master lianhuasheng for the cushion of Zanpu Chisong Desan. When Zanpu chisongdezan sat on this cushion, he immediately raised a lot of waves from the sijinlacuo lake, and then dropped more than 7000 gold coins on Zanpu's hands. Zanpu was satisfied, so he burned incense and worshipped the king sijinlong in the lake to show his gratitude. Sangye temple has a history of thousands of years, but it still follows the custom of burning incense to worship king Mozhu sijinlong every year.
