Extended information:

According to legend, in the Ming Dynasty, there was a village called "Tianma Village", where the population increased and the water supply was insufficient. One day, a Feng Shui gentleman from Jiangxi came to the village. He said to the villagers: The water flowing from Yinzhou Lake through Jinniu Head is full of gold and silver, but this river is not suitable. The river is eastward, and people are empty. To ensure peace and live a good life, it is necessary to build a "pier" in the center of the river to stop the water.

According to their instructions, the villagers dug and transported mud to build a "mound" in the river. After the mound was completed, a villager inserted a banyan branch on the mound. A few years later, unconsciously, this banyan branch grew into a big banyan tree, which attracted thousands of birds to inhabit and multiply, and finally formed the world-famous "Quedun"-"birds of paradise".
