Really? Stone turtles grow from rice? It's just a local legend, and it's not that stone turtles really spit out their rice. This stone turtle is Mei Feng Temple in Chaoyang District, Shantou City, Guangdong Province, also known as Sanfeng Temple. It is said that this temple was built in the Song Dynasty and has a history of nearly a thousand years. This temple is well preserved to this day. There are eight famous landscapes, that is, the Jade Rabbit looks at the moon, the Golden Rooster announces the dawn, the lotus flowers offer Buddha, the fairy edge is soft, the stone turtle leaves the rice, the flying phoenix listens to the scriptures, the sunset lights incense, and the bamboo brings spring. Among them, the stone turtle rice is the most famous one we introduced today.

This allusion has always been a legend. In the past, there was a man named He. After her death, she was named Rongjiang, the water god of a local river. After taking office, she decided to punish local corrupt officials and bullies, so she sent elephants and lions to guard the Xikou. If the merchant ships coming and going obtained the property by improper means, she would turn the ship over and take the goods on board for storage.

Among them, robbing people and eating people is the most disgusting to the water god. Then there was a disaster, and the local people had no food. He Ye Yun introduced his stored rice to the stone turtle in the local temple. As long as someone needs food to eat, the stone turtle will spit out food. Of course, the legend is a legend after all, and we don't know what the prototype of this legend is, but it is undeniable that this story is still widely circulated and influential in the local area. Up to now, many people in this temple have made a special trip to pay homage to the stone turtle.

Of course, besides the stone turtle, the other seven landscapes here are also very interesting. There are also their own legends behind them, and many tourists come to visit them every year. ?
