Jiuri Mountain's praying for the wind reflects the ingenious use made by the ancients in the era of great navigation
1. Terrain utilization: When Zheng He's fleet encountered a storm in Indonesia, it found the local Jiuri Mountain and used the shielding effect of the mountain to mitigate the impact of the storm.
2. Meteorological utilization: Zheng He's fleet predicted the change of wind direction and wind force by observing the weather forecast, and took shelter measures in time to avoid ship damage.
3. Ocean utilization: Zheng He's fleet encountered eddies and currents at sea. The direction and speed of the ship were adjusted by the rotation of the vortex and the promotion of the current, and the ship passed through this sea area smoothly.
The ceremony of praying for the wind in Jiuri Mountain originated from the folk belief and custom of worshipping the sea god Fu You the Great in Zhao Hui Temple in Jiuri Mountain.
