Introduction to Guanwan Bay: Guanhaiwan Bay is located at the ruins of the ancient Huanglong Temple in Xichang. It is the legendary habitat of the Qionghai Yellow Dragon and the location of the "dragon vein" of Xichang since ancient times. The pottery making history of Gangyao Village in the bay has a long history and continues to this day. , there are vats everywhere in the village, with different shapes, large and small, standing crookedly, crowded and leaning on each other, forming a unique local "vat culture".
Gangyao Village was originally called Cheche Village. Legend has it that Master Hubei died in Xichang during his southern tour in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. His son Dalun, under the guidance of Mr. Lai Feng Shui, found his father's buried dragon vein in Cheche Village, which was a barrel-sized purple tree trunk. . The villagers were shocked and wanted to touch it. Da Lun shouted anxiously: "Don't touch it, this is my family's thing!" When they jumped up to protect them, the tree trunks broke. Suddenly, heavy rain poured down, floods surged into the sky, and the villagers were displaced. There is a little red fish in Qionghai who wants to save the villagers from hanging upside down. Although he has been in trouble several times, he never stops. The Dragon King took pity on his kindness and said: "I can ask the villagers in their dreams to make the largest vat in the world and place it at the place where the dragon veins are located, and then there will be peace." Villager Zhang Tianbao received his dream and spent three months and went through all kinds of hardships to make the vat blank and fired it in three days. The villagers went to the broken part of the dragon's veins to suppress it. The tree trunk turned into a yellow dragon and lay beside the vats. A thin torrent of water enters the tank through its mouth and forms a trickle, and penetrates directly into the Qionghai Sea. Cheche Village is now Haiqingheyan, and people have a long life, so it was renamed Gangyao Village. Every villager sets up a water tank outside their house to ward off evil spirits and pray for blessings. Remembering the kindness of the little red fish, every year in the golden autumn, they all perform the ceremony of releasing the fish in front of the largest tank in the world.
