As the saying goes: If you rely on the mountains, you will eat the mountains. If you rely on the sea, you will eat the sea. The sea has nurtured generations of Zhangzi Island people, so the fishermen have deep feelings for the sea, and they are especially respectful and loving to the Goddess of the Sea. Every year on the 13th day of the first lunar month, it is the birthday of the Goddess of the Sea. People would go to worship the statue of the Goddess of the Sea during the day. When night falls, the whole family goes to the beach and puts the fishing boats and fishing lanterns they made by themselves into the sea, sets off firecrackers, and worships the God of the Sea, in order to pray to the God of the Sea to bless the fishermen to have smooth sailing and a full warehouse of fish and shrimps.
This statue of the Goddess of the Sea is 6.8 meters high and is carved from a single piece of white marble. The Goddess of Poseidon holds a lotus lantern in her hand and looks into the sea with her eyes, welcoming the fishermen back home safely and with full loads from the sea. The mascot beside the empress is the deer from our Zhangzi Island. According to legend, the Poseidon is the daughter of the Dragon King. One day on a stormy night, she rescued Shi Fu and Shi Xiu, a fisherman and his son, in the sea, and guided them to this treasure island with a lotus lantern. The father and son came to the island for a visit. It was very surprising to see that there were deer deer all over the mountains and plains on the island, and the sea was full of fat and big fish and shrimps jumping around. So the father and son settled down and lived a prosperous life. The Poseidon has repeatedly rescued fishermen in distress to the treasure island in shipwrecks.

Legend has it that it was a fairy bird that guarded the orb next to the Queen of Jinhua in the sky. Because it stole the orb, it was demoted to the human world to guard Zhangzi Island. Because I didn’t know when I would be able to return to heaven, I had no choice but to squat on the beach and look at the sea and sigh. When the fishermen on the island lost their way when they went fishing in heavy fog, the stone eagle screamed twice. When the fishermen heard the cry of the stone eagle, they followed the cry and returned home smoothly.
Because of the blessing of the Goddess of the Sea and the guardianship of the condor, the fishermen of Zhangzi Island live and work in peace and contentment, work hard to get rich, and have always lived a prosperous and peaceful life. The people on the island believe in Feng Shui and believe that this wealth is brought about by the eagle's beak stone, which they call the "lucky stone".
