Why did Poyang Lake Laoye Temple become the Devil's Delta?

Poyang Lake, located in Jiangxi Province, is the largest freshwater lake in China. It has rippling blue waves, connecting water and sky, and has nurtured people who have lived on both sides of the strait for generations. However, there is a unique sea area in Poyang Lake that is a forbidden area for passing ships and fishermen. Countless shipwrecks have occurred here, and few people have survived. This mysterious triangle is the Laoye Temple waters known as the "Devil's Triangle". With the continuous advancement of science, relevant departments and scientific and technological personnel have conducted long-term observations, detection, and research on the meteorology, hydrology, and geology of this area, gradually solving the mystery.

First, the unique weather in the Laoye Temple waters creates strong winds and tornadoes. The Laoye Temple water area is 24 kilometers long. Its widest point is 15 kilometers and its narrowest point is only 3 kilometers. The narrowest 3 kilometers of water is near Laoye Temple. To the northwest of the Laoye Temple water area is the towering Lushan Mountain, which runs parallel to the Hukou Channel in the north of Laoye Temple. When the north wind blows, the peaks in the southeast of Lushan Mountain will squeeze the airflow from north to south and accelerate the airflow. When the airflow reaches the narrowest point, the wind will stir up the waves, and the high waves will form a strong impact force. This resulted in the ship being destroyed and people dying.

Secondly, the water flow in Laoye Temple is turbulent and forms a whirlpool. The hydrological conditions of the Laoye Temple water area are particularly complex. At the narrowest 3 kilometers of the Laoye Temple water area, the "narrow tube" effect of water flow will be formed. From the infrared aerial photos, we can see that there is a huge sand bar at the bottom of the lake. It may also be the existence of the sand bar. A huge vortex can be formed at the bottom of the lake, which may cause a fatal blow to passing ships and fishermen.

Third, the geological environment causes the electromagnetic field near Laoye Temple to be disordered, which induces lightning. Most of the water area around Laoye Temple is made of limestone, and the large underground caves have their own electromagnetic fields right above them. Numerous electromagnetic fields are chaotic and can affect people's brain thinking. They can also induce electrical contact between yin and yang, resulting in thunder and lightning. Together with other factors, they can also cause shipwrecks and fatalities.
