It fisted its hand with a small hole and it was said that there would be about 1kg rice coming out from the hole a day. What’s more, the Shi Tong old temple, one of the major government-protected cultural sites, which was built at the begining of Tang Dynasty, can been found in the cave. The temple was a place for people to worship Zhou Family who was known as the God of Wealth and in control of farming. He was the one who could ensure world peace and ample harvest.
