The beautiful love story of Qinghai Lake

Legend has it that ancient grasslands flooded, and there was a huge spring at the bottom of Qinghai Lake (now Qinghai Lake). Countless water gushes out every day, drowning crops, cattle and sheep, mothers and children. A brave young man decided to go deep into the sea, stop the spring and save his compatriots. After swimming in the sea for many days, he was exhausted and very hungry, but he had nothing to eat. At this time, many beautiful carp automatically swam to the young man's mouth to feed him. Young people have no strength and can't bite through the scales of carp. The fish of the holy spirit understood the young man's mind, shook himself, shook off all the scales, and then swam into the young man's mouth. With strength, the young man went down to the bottom of the sea and turned his body into a mountain to block the spring. The flood receded, the cattle and sheep were saved, and people lived a happy and peaceful life again. The young man's lover knew that he would never come back, so he jumped into the sea and became a beautiful island. Countless birds fly and sing on the island all day. This island is called Bird Island. In order to commemorate this young warrior, people have worshipped the Haixin Mountain in Qinghai Lake for thousands of years, and never eat scalless carp in the sea again.
