The rice that flowed out would automatically flow out an appropriate amount of rice for meals based on the number of monks and pilgrims in the temple that day. Later, a greedy monk in the temple wanted to get more rice to fill his pockets, so he used a steel drill to drill holes in the rice. As a result, the steel drill was stuck with stone pliers and could not be pulled out, and the hole was sealed. The monks have disappeared long ago, but the steel drill is still there. Chumi Rock is like a capital exclamation mark, inspiring visitors to think deeply.

He is in a special state and gathers monks to build a new Taoist temple." In 1997, Xiangong Mountain was rated as "the first top ten scenic spots in Quanzhou City" in the scenic spot evaluation in Quanzhou City.
During the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, in Shijing Village, Nan'an, there lived a hero named Zheng Chenggong. Before he left his official post, he went to the foot of Xiangong Mountain. But Xiangong knew in advance that Zheng Chenggong was coming to Xiangong Mountain, so he entrusted a dream to the monk in the mountain and said: "Tomorrow a scholar in white will come to ask for a fortune. You should quickly clean the shop at the foot of the mountain and prepare tea to welcome the distinguished guests. At the same time, you must He said: "I have come to disturb the immortal in a hurry. There is no need to go to the temple. Go back and practice martial arts." When the monk conveyed the immortal's words to Zheng Chenggong, Zheng Chenggong was very grateful. Sit down and rest for a while, looking around you. There are high mountains, towering old trees, towering trees, lush vegetation, charming scenery, and an endless stream of pilgrims, men, women and children. It is very lively. It is really a fairyland on earth. After Zheng Chenggong returned home, he practiced martial arts more diligently and became familiar with military books. Later, he raised troops to fight against the Qing Dynasty, regained Taiwan, defeated the Dutch invaders, and fought against the Qing Dynasty. Later generations built a stone pavilion at the foot of Xiangong Mountain, named "Xinxin Pavilion", as a permanent memorial.
After the interview, the Taoist said: "Xianggong used to have a dream about fame and fame without thinking about it. The word "thinking" is removed from the word "heart", which means that your fame is without "mind". The "thinking" is the "phase", and you can be regarded as the Prime Minister's country. And "wealth and honor cannot be achieved" means that it was the year of Wuxu when you took the provincial examination. Neither word "wuxu" looks like the word "成", which means that your wealth began in the year of Wuxu. This is the inspiration from the immortal to inspire you to work hard and study hard. "Dharma." The Taoist then said, "If it hadn't been like this, I'm afraid it would be difficult for you to achieve the fame you have today." Everyone praised him in unison, "The Immortal is truly an immortal." The next day, Li Guangdi led all his friends up the mountain to reward him. Taoist Li has already been waiting at "Xian Pao Ge". Li Guangdi then donated a lot of silver to build the Immortal Temple and inscribed a plaque with the words "True Immortal" on the spot. Li Guangdi died in 1718 (the fifty-seventh year of Kangxi), his age was the second of Wuxu. So far, it fully conforms to the metaphor of "wealth and honor are two inseparable things" of the Immortal God, that is, prosperity and wealth start from the Year of Wuxu and end in the Year of Wuxu.
