Who can tell me something about China?

This is a magical water area. It looks quiet now, but the boatman knows that there are always hidden dangers here. In the blink of an eye, the wind suddenly came. If we can't land in time, it will be born to die. Huge waves beat against the hull, and water poured into the boat from all directions. Even with more experience, there is nothing I can do. As long as it takes more than ten minutes, it will be buried under the water and disappear without a trace. Then, the waters will immediately return to calm. Local fishermen call it the Devil's Triangle, and some people call it China Bermuda.

In the north of Jiangxi Province, on the south bank of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, there is a vast expanse of water, which is Poyang Lake, the largest freshwater lake in China. Whenever the news of fishing comes, the fishing boats on the lake will be busy because of the harvest, and the market along the lake is also a busy and happy harvest scene. However, in this calm and serene Poyang Lake, there is a gloomy and horrible death zone. Because there is an old temple on its east bank, people call it "the water of the old temple". For thousands of years, I don't know how many ships have been ruthlessly swallowed up by the lake here. However, even more bizarre is that thousands of tons of cargo ships mysteriously disappeared in this water with a water depth of only 18 meters. No matter how people look for it, they are not found. This is similar to Bermuda.

Why does the huge Poyang Lake only sink in the Laoye Temple? Where did those lost ships go? Is there really a legendary water monster at the bottom of this lake? Or does the time tunnel really exist? Various strange sayings have cast layers of mysterious veils over this water area. Perhaps it is full of legend to outsiders, but how do the local fishermen who live with it feel?

Generally, this place is called the gate of hell, which is more sinister. Several ships sank in one day, all of which were large ships of 400 to 500 tons. This place, I don't know, is a little weird.

2001110/0.9, Huaiyuan county, Anhui province, the sand carrier 0 157 1 was about to leave the waters of the old temple, but the disaster suddenly came.

Interview: Yu Wudi

That storm also came very strangely. You can usually look at the weather. If there is a big storm, you should rely on the boat. The storm came too suddenly.

In a blink of an eye, the wind was blowing and the turbid waves were rolling. The fishing boats not far from the shore came ashore one after another, while the sand carrier was in the middle of the lake. Tobey Wu, who lives on the shore, vaguely saw that the cargo ship was still in the lake in the yard, and hurried to the lake, watching the sand carrier spinning in the lake not far away, but Tobey Wu was helpless because of the heavy wind and waves. At this time, the sand carrier is only 1.5 km away from the shore.

Interview: Fishing Angkor

It sank in more than ten minutes.

Interview: Fishing Angkor

We saw that it had sunk. It was a sunken ship.

Like a sudden attack, the storm quickly disappeared after more than ten minutes, and the lake was calm as if nothing had happened. At this time, Tobey Wu and other villagers immediately started water rescue. Immediately, several fishing boats rowed to the middle of the lake at the same time. Due to the frequent accidents in this area, local fishermen have become accustomed to saving people spontaneously and act quite quickly. Even so, unfortunate things happened.

Interview: Fishing Angkor

Of the five people on board, three died and two were rescued. He is a sister, a lover and a son. Saved my wife and son, and all three sisters died.

For the living, this will be a place where hearts are broken forever.

For thousands of years, no one has figured out how many ships sank in these waters. All we can see is the record of major water accidents of Jiujiang Maritime Safety Administration in recent decades.

19731June14th, the motor cargo ship of Xing Zi Shipyard sank in the waters of Laoyemiao, and 13 people were killed.

1985 15 On March 5th, a 25-ton ship numbered "Raoji 4 1838" sank about three kilometers south of Laoye Temple at 6: 30 in the morning.

On August 3 of the same year, two cargo ships of Jinxian County Shipping Company in Jiangxi Province, each of which was 20 tons, were miraculously buried at the bottom of the lake in the waters of Laoyemiao. On the same day, another 12 ship suffered bad luck here.

Since the 1960s alone, more than 100 ships have sunk in this area, and dozens of lives have been ruthlessly swallowed up by the lake.

For many years, the crew of passing ships have been on tenterhooks when passing through here. Because the waters of the Laoye Temple are the only water passage from Poyang Lake to the Yangtze River, these people who depend on water have to come to the customs again and again, although there are dangers. Finally, the mysterious shipwreck in the waters of Laoye Temple has attracted more and more researchers' attention. In their eyes, all kinds of legends are certainly not credible. Only by scientifically finding out the real cause of the shipwreck can we solve this ancient mystery in people's minds and help people stay away from these disasters. However, this is a great challenge for researchers. In the past 30 years, the scientific research team has visited the waters of Laoyemiao successively, but for various reasons, it has not found an exact and reasonable explanation for the shipwreck in this waters. Is there really no answer to this mystery? From 65438 to 0985, an expert group composed of meteorological, hydrological and geological departments once again came to this magical water area. The mystery of nature is infinite, and they are convinced that there must be an unusual causal relationship between the power of nature and the ancient mystery of shipwreck. The investigation will begin immediately. Because the local fishermen are the first witnesses when the ship sank, the first thing the experts should do is to know the situation from the local fishermen. After talking with dozens of fishermen or villagers, experts found that people's judgments on the reasons for capsizing were almost the same.

Interview: Zhang Mingxin

The Laoye Temple is in this area, and the wind is quite strong.

Interview: Yu Wudi

You talk big or small, or there is no wind at all, or it will blow very hard.

Interview:

what can I say? There are many accidents in general, and the north wind blows.

Interview:

It's not easy to row, and the waves are big when the wind is strong.

After getting such an answer, the investigation team first turned its attention to the wind. Of course, what villagers say by feeling can only be used as a preliminary judgment for reference. What experts need is real and scientific data. The wind is closely related to the meteorological department, and the meteorological team immediately decided to carry out meteorological observation for one year in order to obtain accurate data for further analysis. Three observation points were immediately set up in the Laoye Temple. For researchers, a year is long and busy. The wind is changeable. If they want to find out the law of the wind in this invisible air, they can't relax at all In this way, more than 300 days and nights, researchers will appear at the lake and nearby hillside every day, and they will capture every trace of wind with sweat and hard work. More than 200,000 original data were finally placed in front of the meteorological team staff. These data show that the waters of Laoyemiao are a rare windy area in Poyang Lake, with 163 windy days a year, which means that the wind will reach level 6 every two days.

Interview: Director Xiong

This is from June 1985 to 10/0. The wind direction is mainly northerly, with the maximum wind speed of 27.3 seconds, and strong wind 1 1 level.

Subsequently, the meteorological team members compared these data with the data measured by Duchang Meteorological Bureau not far from them. They found that the annual average wind speed in the waters of Laoyemiao is much larger than that in duchang county City, which is basically consistent with that provided by the villagers.

Interview: Director Xiong

For example, the annual average wind speed of the Laoye Temple is 7.6 seconds, which is equivalent to about 4 to 5. The annual average wind speed of our station (Duchang Observatory) is 2.9 to 3.2, which is equivalent to about 2 levels, that is, 3 levels worse.

During this year's work, the team members felt more than once that sailing in the center of Poyang Lake was generally calm. However, as soon as the ship entered the waters of Laoyemiao, the wind speed immediately increased and the ship began to shake. Also in Poyang Lake area, and at the same time. Why is the wind in the waters of Laoye Temple surprisingly strong? Is this related to the unique shape of Poyang Lake? The members of the investigation team picked up the map for analysis more than once. Seen from the map, Poyang Lake looks like an inverted gourd. The northern end of this gourd is a narrow water area, and the Laoye Temple is at the southernmost end of this narrow water area. Is there a secret of strong wind hidden in this narrow water? From people's life experience, we can know that if there is a secondary wind in the open area, we may not feel its existence. However, if there are two mountains blocking the wind in the open area, then the narrow passage between the two mountains is the only way for the wind, and all the airflow will be concentrated here, thus speeding up the flow of the wind when it passes here. This narrow passage is what we usually call the tuyere. (This paragraph is a two-dimensional animation) And isn't Poyang Lake, a long and narrow water area, the shape of a tuyere? So, the staff made a detailed survey of Poyang Lake and got a set of special data.

Interview: Ma Zhenxing

North Poyang Lake is mainly a narrow river channel, 24 kilometers long from north to south and 15 kilometers wide from east to west. Only in this area of Laoye Temple, its width is only 3 kilometers.

In the south of Poyang Lake, the widest place is 74 kilometers, which means that the waters of Laoye Temple are the narrowest place in the whole Poyang Lake! Away from it, north of the Yangtze River is an empty plain. This long and narrow water area is undoubtedly the shape of a tuyere. However, water is different from mountains. Water can't stop the wind from passing here. The only reason for the tuyere is the mountain. In this regard, geologists believe that there are two main reasons for the formation of rivers. One is that the surrounding areas swell to form rivers, and the other is that the middle areas sink to form rivers. Whatever the reason, the formation of rivers or lakes is bound to be closely related to the surrounding terrain. (2D animation) For this reason, the members of the geological team decided to make a clear investigation on the topography of Poyang Lake area. If we use the past method and walk on two legs to investigate, it will not only take a long time and be inefficient, but also the biggest disadvantage is that we can't form a whole concept. After research, the experts decided to coordinate the relevant departments to do a satellite remote sensing shooting of Poyang Lake area in order to obtain the most geological information in the shortest time. Satellite remote sensing images are produced at the fastest speed. Ma Zhenxing's careful observation and whether he can find out the mountains related to this narrow strip is the key to find out the formation of strong winds in this area. According to the picture, at the southeast end of this long and narrow water area, there is a very large hilly area, next to the waters of the Laoye Temple, which has attracted the attention of experts. However, in the actual investigation, the staff found that the highest point of this zone is only 89 meters. Although this height has a certain influence on the wind, it must not be the key factor for the formation of strong winds. The team members must look for mountains with a certain altitude around this water area. At this time, everyone's eyes are gathered on Lushan Mountain, which is only a few kilometers away from it.

Interview: Director Xiong

The west belongs to Lushan Mountain, and the direction of Lushan Mountain is southeast, where our Poyang Lake and Yangtze River are scattered.

Lushan Mountain is 1400 meters above sea level, and its trend is basically parallel to the narrow waterway in the north of Laoye Temple. This remote sensing picture suddenly opened the eyes of experts. Lushan Mountain with beautiful scenery is the chief culprit in creating strong winds. The average distance from Lushan Mountain to the narrow waterway in the north of Poyang Lake is only about 6 kilometers, and the south of Lushan Mountain just continues to the west of Laoye Temple, ending. The north wind prevails all the year round in Poyang Lake area. When the air flows from north to south, Lushan Mountain at an altitude of 1400 meters is like a barrier to block the wind. Part of the airflow can only bypass the mountains in the southeast of Lushan Mountain, and the airflow starts to concentrate and accelerate from here. When it flows to the waters only three kilometers wide, the wind and speed reach the maximum, and the wind howls.

The concentrated wind in the waters of Laoye Temple makes the wind in this place very strong and fast. The cause of the gale was finally found, but it didn't make the members of the investigation team happy, because they still had a question in their hearts. Can strong winds alone make the number of capsized boats reach so much? Director Xiong believes that the increase in wind power is not the main reason for the shipwreck. Because the duchang county Meteorological Bureau, where Director Xiong works, is only a few kilometers away from Laoye Temple, he knows more about the fishermen nearby. He knows that anyone who sails will know something about water and wind. The water surface of Laoye Temple is only 3 kilometers wide. If you sail against the wind, it is easy to dock nearby. With the skills of sailors who have been walking on water for many years, it is impossible to capsize on such a narrow lake. Is there any other reason besides the strong wind here? During one year's observation, the staff found a strange phenomenon and verified Director Xiong's idea.

Interview: Director Xiong

According to the truth, the atmospheric circulation is basically not affected by topography, and it should be a horizontal movement in one direction. However, through our investigation, it is found that the situation of Laoye Temple is a bit special from the general situation, and the response is obvious. For example, the wind direction and wind speed we investigated at the seaside and lakeside are a little more stable than our county. Point to the south for a while, point to the southeast for a while, and point to the southwest for a while, with great changes.

During the one-year monitoring, every time a strong wind comes, Director Xiong will measure the same result. It seems that the instability of the wind direction is not accidental. After reaching this conclusion, Director Xiong even thought that the unstable wind direction was the fatal culprit leading to the sinking. When the ship landed in strong wind, it was sailing against the wind. However, the sudden change of wind direction will cause the direction of water waves to change, making the ship that was originally facing the wind suddenly walk in the cross waves. If the ship's ability to resist wind and waves is poor or the crew fails to turn around in time, it will cause the ship to roll over. Director Xiong's view coincides with the personal experience of local fishermen.

Interview: Yu Wudi

There are very few capsized boats in other places. After passing under our old temple and coming up, it is generally safe. Just below, the wind is different. I used to worry about this place when I sailed. Start walking up with the wind, turn around here and come sideways. This is usually where the accident happened.

From a meteorological point of view, strong winds, especially the instability of the wind direction, will make these passing ships capsize when strong winds strike. What puzzled the players was what caused the instability of the wind direction. The staff couldn't find a reasonable explanation at the moment. Just when the investigation came to a standstill, I overheard a word from the local fishermen, which caught their attention.

"This is a strange place. Generally, the older generation are more afraid of this place, especially this corner. Especially in the second half of the year, the wind blows to the north here, and the wind direction is different, which is worrying. "

It is understood that the capsizing incidents here mostly occur in autumn and winter and the following spring, which is the time when the north wind prevails. Only when the strong wind is blocked in the process of traveling will it flow to other places, forming a disorder of wind direction. So, the staff picked up the satellite remote sensing image for the second time. This time, their eyes turned to the huge hilly areas that had been neglected. When the air flows from north to south, the compressed strong airflow flows into the Laoye Temple along the lake road, one part blows directly to the water surface, and the other part blows directly to this hilly area. Due to the obstruction, the southbound gale began to turn back, and these turned-back airflow met the northbound gale, thus forming a strange wind field, and the waters of the Laoye Temple were in the center of this wind field. The strong and disorderly airflow combined with the impact of big waves makes the ship easily swallowed up by the wind and waves here.

Interview: Fishing Angkor

The wrecked ships are everywhere. There are Hukou people, Hubei people, Hunan people, Jiangxi people, Duchang people and Yukiko people everywhere.

These people who live by water always expect to spend every day safely. However, it's dangerous here. Only when they worship General Yuan in the old temple can they get some psychological comfort. And these comforts come from a bizarre legend. According to legend, when Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang attacked Poyang Lake, Zhu Yuanzhang retreated to the lake, and the lake blocked the way. At this critical moment, a giant turtle suddenly surfaced and rescued Zhu Yuanzhang from the other side of the lake. After Zhu Yuanzhang seized the world, he named the tortoise General Yuan and built the "Dingjiang King Temple" by the lake, which is now the old temple. In order to get the protection of General Yuan, the fishermen nearby will come here to pray for peace on the first and fifteenth day of the first month. After that, people must set off firecrackers in special places near the door, because they think firecrackers can drive away evil souls. For those ships passing by but inconvenient to dock, the crew held the same ceremony in the direction of the old temple. These people wandering on the water have long regarded General Yuan in the old temple as their spiritual pillar, but can this general really shelter them?

For thousands of years, there are still sunken ships here. Although the Laoye Temple can't prevent the shipwreck, it can help people who have fallen into the water to tide over the difficulties.

Interview: Fishing Angkor

In the old society, we went to temples, old temples, got paid and had lunch. In the old society, there were two boats, which were specially used to save people by the lake. If someone is killed, go and save them. Save it if you can. Can't save, also can't help it.

According to Tobey Wu, his grandfather used to drive a lifeboat in the Laoye Temple. Two boats in the temple wait by the lake all day and go out to save people many times every year.

Compared with before, the times of capsizing in the waters of Laoyemiao are much less. According to fishermen, this is mainly due to the ship itself.

Interview: Yu Wudi

At that time, it was not mechanical power, but a high-shed sailboat. When the wind blows, it turns over.

Interview: Fishing Angkor

Now they are all motor boats. It is better, more stable and safer to start the machine.

Even so, there are still several or even a dozen capsizing accidents in the waters of Laoyemiao every year. It is puzzling that these ships are all large ships from other provinces, with a load of several hundred tons or thousands of tons, and the fishing boats nearby have not had any accidents because they can land in time. Just when the experts were puzzled, the members of the hydrological team found a strange phenomenon.

Interview: Hydrographic Bureau

The direction of water flow in this place is rather chaotic.

What is the cause of the water flow disorder? According to the explanation of the meteorological geological team, the airflow that turns back after encountering the southern hilly area is also chaotic. These air currents blowing on the lake can really cause changes in the waves on the lake. However, the hydrological team found that these turbulence existed even in the absence of wind, which indicated that it was not caused by wind. Is it water itself? The hydrological team then began to monitor the water flow in the upper and lower reaches of Laoye Temple. They found that there was nothing unusual about the water flow from the Laoye Temple to the Yangtze River, but it changed from the Laoye Temple to the south, and these waters became more and more directional. They come from five directions, and these five directions are the directions of the five major rivers in Jiangxi Province.

Interview: Hydrographic Bureau

Poyang Lake is a complete water system. Water from five rivers in Jiangxi Province, namely Jiangxi, Fuzhou, Guangxi, Liaoning and Suzhou, flows into Poyang Lake from different directions.

At first, they flowed into the wide lake at a slow speed. After entering the waters of Laoye Temple, the flow velocity will be accelerated due to the sudden narrowing of the width of the lake. It is this water area that has become the most concentrated place for water from the five major rivers.

Interview: Hydrographic Bureau

In the area of Laoyemiao, because the water from the five rivers is basically equal to a meeting point of this place, in this place, because the water in different directions is mixed with each other, the direction of water flow in this place is rather chaotic.

Turbulence collide with each other, forming large and small eddies. The influence of these vortices on the hull is different from that of normal water flow. If we encounter bad weather again, the probability of ship accidents will be much greater than that in other places. Hydrologists have come to the conclusion that wind and waves are only one of the causes of capsizing accidents, and the combined action of chaotic currents and strong winds is the fundamental cause of shipwreck accidents. Things are often not as simple as people think. Just when all the experts thought they had found the answer to the mystery of the shipwreck, the local fishermen had another completely different story.

Interview: Yu Wudi

Ordinary running water has a whirlpool, which is not big. The whirlpool of water has little effect on us.

Now it seems that the conclusions drawn by hydrologists are just the opposite of the personal experience of local fishermen. Is the hydrologist wrong, or is there something wrong with the fishermen's experience? The mystery of shipwreck in the waters of Laoyemiao has become more and more complicated. What's the secret in this lake? Can the arrival of experts finally solve the mystery?

Once again, the dialogue with fishermen began, and this time the main goal was the whirlpool in the water. Because fishermen are very familiar with the waters in this area, they certainly don't care too much about the whirlpool on the water when there is no wind. But when the wind came, the fishermen went ashore early, and no one could say clearly how much vortex there was in the lake when there was wind. However, those who were rescued after falling into the water in the lake told the fishermen what they saw.

Interview: Yu Wudi

It is said that there is a vortex when the ship goes, and the spiral descends and sinks. It is said that there is a vortex on the lake.

How much force does it take to suck a big ship with a load of hundreds or even thousands of tons to the bottom? The biggest problem for hydrologists is that due to limited conditions, the water body in the center of the lake can't be monitored when the wind comes, so the data about the vortex in the lake can't be obtained when the wind comes. For this, geological expert Ma Zhenxing has different views. According to fishermen, when the wind blows, there will be a lot of eddies in the water, which is why they suck hundreds of tons of cargo ships into the bottom of the lake. Those eddies caused by water flow disorder can only be countless, and a single vortex can't be that big. Are there other secrets under the lake? If so, how do we know the secret? After careful discussion with the team members, Ma Zhen Xinghe decided to take another aerial photo. Different from last time, this time, low-altitude shooting was adopted, and the target was only the waters of the Laoye Temple. This shooting is risky. If there is no new discovery, it will waste a lot of energy and research funds. Fortunately, however, the color infrared aerial photos taken at low altitude made the geological team make a particularly important discovery.

Interview: Ma Zhenxing

We found something. What did we find? Through this photo, we can clearly see that there is a huge sand bar underwater in the area of Laoye Temple.

This is a newly discovered underwater sand dam. Its length is about 2.5 kilometers, showing an east-west trend, accounting for more than two-thirds of the total width of the water area of Laoye Temple. It is the existence of this sandbar that completely changed the water flow in the Laoye Temple. When the north wind blows to the surface of Poyang Lake, the big waves will roll to the south. At this time, the underwater sand bar will block the water flow, so powerful eddies will form at the bottom of the lake at its southern end, which will cause amazing impact on the ship.

Interview: Ma Zhenxing

Its impact force is three times the wave height, and how many tons per square meter, that is to say, how much water can ordinary waves reach in this area of Poyang Lake, reaching 3 meters and 2 meters high, then its impact force can reach three times, 6 tons per square meter. At this time, the instantaneous impact of your ship should reach 6 tons (per square meter).

That is to say, if a ship with a deadweight of 20 tons is calculated as 20 square meters, the impact of waves on it will reach 1.20 tons, which is more than five times the weight of the ship. Such a large impact force is bound to make the ship lose control and get involved in a powerful whirlpool. These hidden underwater eddies are of course much more powerful than those caused by water turbulence. However, where did the huge sand bar under the Laoye Temple come from? With such a large area, why did Poyang Lake only reach the Laoye Temple? Let's look back at this hilly area next to the old temple. These mountains, big and small, are all made of sand. Whenever a thunderstorm comes, the rain will wash away a lot of sand, next to the waters of the Laoye Temple in Poyang Lake.

Interview: Ma Zhenxing

At the top of our old temple, more than 89 meters above sea level, there is a huge sand mountain. Under the action of flowing water, this sand mountain rushed directly into Poyang Lake, just in the east-west direction and directly brought into Poyang Lake.

At this point, the secret of the bottom of the lake was finally revealed, and the arrival of experts from all sides made the mystery of the shipwreck in the waters of Laoye Temple in Poyang Lake more and more clear. When the north wind goes south, the existence of Lushan Mountain makes it a rare windy area. When the airflow reaches the hilly area, it begins to turn back again, which makes the wind direction extremely disordered and has a great impact on navigation. At the same time, the water from the five major rivers flows into Poyang Lake and meets in the waters of Laoyemiao. The current is strong and chaotic, which makes the ships sailing in the strong wind worse. Even more deadly, the sand bar hidden at the bottom of the lake has produced a powerful underwater vortex under the action of strong winds. Irregular winds, fast-flowing water and huge underwater sand dams have become invisible enemies for ships coming and going. If a strong wind strikes, the ships in the lake will be in danger and there is nothing they can do.

The power of nature is beyond people's imagination. People can't and have no right to carve nature into what we need. On the contrary, these strange natural phenomena will make people more curious about nature. But capsizing is inevitable, isn't it? In fact, people are constantly working hard for this every day.

Interview: County Committee

We have achieved three-day weather forecast, publicized fishermen and broadcast, and sent messages to fishermen at 7: 00 am and 7: 00 pm every day, that is, 19.

Waterway management has been going on for decades. Strengthening the inspection of ships can ensure their ability to resist wind and waves. In addition, several newly-built safe havens will also facilitate passing ships to dock in time in case of distress. Coupled with the continuous improvement of people's own quality, the shipwreck accidents in the waters of Laoye Temple have dropped a lot.

Interview: Wen Shuji

In recent years, with the scientific mastery of the crew and the improvement of the safety awareness of the whole society, water safety accidents should be said to have dropped significantly. Judging from my work for more than 20 years, there is a clear difference between the 1980s and the 1990s.

Only when problems are found can measures be taken to ensure the safety of navigation. But things didn't end there. In the eyes of fishermen living in the Laoye Temple, the mystery of the shipwreck has not been completely solved. This mystery is still an unsolved knot in their hearts.

Interview: Yu Wudi

I told my father and grandfather that three big boats sank in this place, one for porcelain, a small bowl, a plate, a teapot and so on. Sink a little above my door. Now, there are 1000 to 2000 tons.

The other two ships that sank here were also cargo ships, carrying thousands of tons. Although fishermen are used to sinking ships, they are puzzled that these ships have never been salvaged after sinking.

Interview: Fishermen

They all sank here, and none of them were fished out.

Has anyone ever fished?

I do. I don't know where I went. I haven't found it yet. There's nothing.

In the past 20 or 30 years, sunken ships will be quickly salvaged by relevant departments, and no sunken ships can be found. Ships that have been overturned by wind and waves are often made of wood. After the wind and waves, these boards will float on the water, except for these sunken ships. Have they been hiding in a corner of the lake, or are they really not in this lake?

What is even more strange is that thousands of tons of boats were still there when they first sank to the bottom of the water. Because fish would nest in them after sinking to the bottom of the water, many local fishermen went fishing on the boats that sank to the bottom of the water, and some even caught some items on the boats.

Interview: Yu Wudi

My father grew up on the water. He is very good at swimming and entering the water. He's fine. He is alone. We have several families engaged in fishing and sailing boats. My father walked from the bottom to the bottom of the cabin and felt it. He touched the small bowl, small pot, small dish and teacup and felt much better.

A few years later, some foreign divers came to this area for various purposes and began to salvage underwater. To everyone's surprise, the diver found nothing.

Interview: Fishing Angkor

Divers are in the water. He is wearing different clothes. Our children look strange. According to the adults, he went into the water and touched something on the sunken ship. As a result, he touched here and saw nothing.

According to local villagers, several groups of divers came one after another, but no sunken ship was found, and the sunken ship seen by the older generation also mysteriously disappeared. As time goes on, the legend about the shipwreck here becomes more and more magical. Some people say it was buried by underwater sand, others say it was washed away by the current, and even more bizarre, it is said that the big ship that sank here went back to the past with just visiting. These statements aroused the curiosity of researchers. So, were those sunken ships buried by sand? The villagers' statements were rejected by experts. Laoye Temple is the deepest part of Poyang Lake, with a water depth of about 18 meters. A sunken ship with thousands of tons should be more than ten meters high. If quicksand buried the sunken ship more than ten years later, then
