The origin of legend

The legend of "haiyueyan" has a long history. It tells a beautiful and moving love story: a newly married couple is very loving. They rely on their husband to go fishing for a living. Because it takes a long time for their husband to come back every time he goes out, his wife is so lovesick that she stands on the crab shell rock of Jinniu Mountain every day, looking forward to the husband's return. One day, my wife went to the well in haiyueyan cave to draw water. Suddenly, she saw a returning sail reflected in the well water. The man standing at the bow of the boat was her husband. She ran to the wharf to see it. It was her husband who had been missing day and night. She thought it was the well God
