Why did Gao Yun Temple come here?

Gaoyun Temple has a history of more than 1000 years, and patriotism and love for religion have become the glorious tradition of the temple, which has been passed down from generation to generation. 1June, 939, the Japanese invaders occupied Zhoushan, and the Gaoyun Temple with high mountains and dense forests became the activity and hiding place of the anti-Japanese guerrillas. Master Zhao Guang, the abbot, had patriotic enthusiasm, risked his life with compassion and led the monks to provide accommodation and cover for the anti-Japanese guerrillas. The Japanese army regards it as a thorn in the side and must remove it. 1939 in September of the lunar calendar, the Japanese army once again pursued the anti-Japanese guerrillas and surrounded the Gaoyun Temple. Master Zhao Guang and monks faced the bayonet of the Japanese army, preferring to die rather than surrender, and did not tell the whereabouts of the guerrillas. Angry Japanese set fire to 27 houses in Gaoyun Temple. In the War of Liberation, Gaoyun Temple became the habitat of guerrillas in the East China Sea.
