Myths and Legends of Fangji Island

There is a mythical story. In ancient times, in a fishing village on the nearby coast, there was a fisherman named Rougu. Her husband went fishing in the open sea all year round. Unable to return and not knowing whether she would live or die, Rougu missed her husband and did not think about food or tea. Whenever the sun set, she would paddle her boat to the island, climb to the highest peak of the island, look at the vast South China Sea, and pray for her husband's safe return.

One day later, Rougu found an old man with gray hair and a boyish face who was shipwrecked on the island, and rescued him with chicken soup. The next day, after Rou Gu went to the island, she found that the old man had mysteriously disappeared. Coincidentally, a few days later Rou Gu's husband returned safely as if he had fallen from the sky, and the boat was full of fish and shrimp.

After this incident spread, people believed that the old man was the incarnation of God, who could bless the sea safety and productive fishing. From then on, fishermen would put a chicken on the island when they went fishing and passed by it to pray for a safe journey on the sea and a full store of fish and shrimps. This is where the name Chicken Island comes from.
