This is from "The Deer and the Cauldron", which is the secret code of the Heaven and Earth Society. It was originally derived from the couplet in the front hall of the Gaoxi Temple in Gaoxi Village, Yunxiao County, Fujian Province: "Di Zhen Gaogang, a stream of streams and mountains that lasts forever; the door faces The water from the Three River Gorges has been flowing for thousands of years."

In the image section of "Historical Materials of Modern Secret Societies", there is a picture of Gaoxi Temple, with a couplet on the door: "A stream of mountains and rivers has been beautiful for thousands of years. The water of the Three Rivers Gorge has flowed for thousands of years."
In the poem, there is "The ground is in the high hills, the mountains and rivers are beautiful through the ages, the gate is facing the sea, and the three rivers merge into the river that lasts for thousands of years." The landscape depicted resembles the Gaoxi Guanyin Pavilion.
Because Gaoxi in Yunxiao is the birthplace of the Tiandihui, in the Hongmen Secret Manual, Gaoxi Temple is regarded as a holy place, regardless of Xilu legends, images, poems, or couplets. This couplet also comes from this.
Notes:
The Tiandihui was founded in Gaoxi, Yunxiao, Fujian, which is also consistent with the records of the Hongmen Secret Book. In the image part of the first volume of "Historical Materials of Modern Secret Societies", there is a painting A "Su Zhu Plaque" with the words "The ancestor lived in Gaoxi, Yunxiao, Fujian" written next to it.
It can be seen from the Hongmen Secret Book that the founder of Hongmen was Wan Yunlong, that is, Wan Tixi. This historical data is consistent with official books and archives. The Hongmen Secret Book said that he lived in Gaoxi, Yunxiao, Fujian. The "ancestor" is Wan Tixi who was a monk at the Guanyin Temple in Gaoxi recorded in official documents and archives.
It shows that the ancestor of Hongmen was indeed in Gaoxi. In Yang's manuscript of Hongmen Secrets, it is also said that Wantixi lived in "Gaoxi Temple on Dingshan Mountain". "Tiandihui Documents" mentioned that everyone worshiped Wan Yunlong as their eldest brother during the "Gaoxi Uprising".
In the image section of "Historical Materials on Modern Secret Societies", there is a picture of Gaoxi Temple. In March 1991, the Fujian Provincial People's Government announced that Gaoxi Temple and Gaoxi Guanting were provincial cultural relics protection units.
