The beautiful legend of eighteen dangerous beaches
During the Five Dynasties, more than a thousand years ago, Yang, a master geomancer, prepared to block up the water surface of the reservoir in order to create geomantic omen in Qianzhou, so he found 18 huge stones, turned them into 18 piglets, and drove them to Qianzhou along the river with a mountain whip. The road is hard, not far from Ganzhou. At this time, Yang was already very tired. I saw a soft beach in front of me, but I was sleepy and fell asleep on the beach. At this time, Guanyin Bodhisattva happened to pass by here and found a group of pigs running around on the beach in the distance. This is very strange. When you look at it, it turns out to be some stones, and you wonder who did it here. Guanyin stopped and changed into an old woman washing clothes by the river. When Yang woke up to help the poor, he saw the piglets run away and pushed them forward. He didn't care when he saw an old woman washing clothes by the river. He asked, "Sister-in-law, have you ever seen some little pigs go forward?" The old woman put down her clothes, watched Yang go to help the poor, and then replied, I didn't see the little pig pass by, but I saw some stones on the little pig. Hearing this, Yang helped the poor, knowing that the woman was not a mortal, and that the matter of driving the mountain had been seen through, so she dared not drive again and turned around and left. 18 piglets were punctured by Guanyin, and then changed back to the original 18 boulder, which rolled into the Ganjiang River one by one and became today's eighteen dangerous beaches.
