History and culture

Guanyin culture

Guanyin, whose full name is "Guanyin", is a free translation of avalokites' vara in Sanskrit. It is also translated into "guangshiyin", "guanzizi", "guanshizi", "guanyinsheng", etc., also known as salvation Bodhisattva, lotus hand Bodhisattva, Yuantong master, etc. In the legend of Avalokitesvara, there are three kinds of Avalokitesvara: sending a son, fishing basket, barefoot, refusing to go and thousand handed

There was a legend that Guanyin Bodhisattva showed his spirit: it is said that in ancient times, there were beautiful mountains and rivers, all things grew in clusters, the climate was harmonious, a hundred flowers were blooming, two Li and one cliff, three li and one cave, and the cave was so deep that there were eight kinds of spirits, including lion, elephant, dragon, snake, tortoise, monkey, magpie and fox, which devoured people and animals and harmed creatures. The local people asked Guanyin to come down to the lower boundary and subdue Bajing to ensure the safety of this place. So later generations built a Guanyin temple. Because the Guanyin temple was built on a large rock, this place is also called "Guanyin rock". In 1965, a dam was built in Guanyinyan. Guanyinyan became a guanyinhu lake with nine islands and eighteen branches and 12000 mu of water surface, forming a spectacular scene of "swallowing the water at the source of three counties and ending with fresh rice and wheat in thousands of villages". Today, Guanyin lake is a bright pearl in the northeast of Xiaogan City, with its beautiful scenery, picturesque peaks, flying fish and kites, people fishing and fishing boats singing late.
