Cultural allusions
According to legend, in the twelfth year of Dazhong in the Tang Dynasty, the Japanese monk Hue came to China to study and got a statue of Guanyin while worshiping Mount Wutai. He was about to return home by boat from Myeongju. When he was approaching the Silla Reef east of Mount Putuo, hundreds of iron lotus flowers suddenly appeared on the sea, blocking the way of the ship. Despite many efforts, the iron lotus plants blocked the ship and prevented it from moving. Monk Hui E understood that Avalokitesvara was unwilling to leave China, so he said: "If all sentient beings in our country have no chance to see the Buddha, we should build a monastery in that direction." Hui E left his boat and landed, leaving a statue of Guanyin to build a temple. Later, because the "Huayan Sutra" said that the sound of good wealth visiting was in Putuo Luojia, it was called "Putuo". Since then, Mount Putuo has become a dojo dedicated to Guanyin, commonly known as "South China Sea". There are many temples on the mountain, including Puji Temple, Fayu Temple, Changsheng Temple, Pantuo Temple, Lingshi Temple, etc. The land on the mountain is owned by the temple, and the tea is collected and prepared by the monks. It is used by the monks to worship Buddha and honor guests, so it is called "Buddha Tea".
