Introduction to the Guanyin Lotus Platform: In ancient times, Hong Lake belonged to the Yunmeng Ancient Lake and was connected with the 800-mile Dongting Lake. It had vast waters and thick reeds. Honghu fishermen work on the lake, often encountering wind and waves, and sometimes lose their way. In order to pray for safety, they are accustomed to believing in Guanyin. This Yangzhi Guanyin is made of copper weighing about 22.5 tons. It expresses the fishermen's good wishes to eliminate disasters and pray for peace.
