The mystery of the mysterious Lao Ye Temple

In September 1984, Jiangxi Province formed an expedition team to go deep into the dangerous waters - the waters of Lao Ye Temple. The expedition team consisted of natural, meteorological, and geological experts and relevant scientific researchers. They are in a serious state of scientific research. Conduct a comprehensive investigation and exploration of the waters of the "Devil's Triangle" of Poyang Lake. First of all, the expedition team set up three meteorological observation stations in the southeast, northwest and southwest waters of the "Devil's Triangle" of Lao Ye Temple to test the terrain, wind and many other natural environmental factors around Lao Ye Temple. After a series of investigations, tests and interviews with local fishermen, the following conclusions were drawn:

(1) The shipwreck accident that occurred in the waters of Lao Ye Temple did not have any warning, and the boat and the people on board were almost unsuspecting, and suddenly encountered rough waves.

(2) The duration of the storm is short, from the thick black fog filled, the rolling turbidity current swallows the boat, to the calm of the lake surface, it is only a few minutes.

(3) When the waves are blowing, there is a sound of wind and rain, strange roars, and the cracking of the ship's hull. The surrounding area is dark and gloomy, and it is difficult to distinguish the five fingers.

Research analysis

After many calculations and repeated review of the shipwreck records, the expedition team found that the shipwreck of Lao Ye Temple mostly occurred in March and April every spring, when passing ships were often in danger of being swallowed up by huge waves, whether day or night. In addition, on the day of the accident, the weather is often very good, with clear skies, blue skies and daytime, or bright moons and stars. The fact that there was never a shipwreck on a rainy day seems to be a mystery within a mystery. The members of the expedition were puzzled.

The expedition team learned from the local historical records and folk legends that Luoxing Mountain and Xingshan across the bank were both formed by a huge meteor crashing here more than 2,000 years ago. In addition, an accident also attracted the attention of locals and expedition members. In the mid-70s, someone in the western part of Poyang Lake witnessed a disc-shaped luminous object swimming in the sky for eight or nine minutes. The local authorities reported the situation to the relevant departments at the higher level, but the relevant departments did not give constructive explanations. Therefore, some people speculate that it is because the "flying saucer" descended on the waters of the Lao Ye Temple, like a ghost moving at the bottom of the lake, resulting in continuous shipwrecks. Clearly, this speculation lacks scientific basis.

After making accurate measurements of the Lao Ye Temple, the expedition team was surprised to find that the building of the Lao Ye Temple was in the middle of the east and west lines of Luoxing Mountain, and the three right angles of the triangular temple body were equal to the plane cone. This allows people to always face each other with the temple no matter which direction they are standing. It has been more than 1,000 years since the establishment of the Lao Ye Temple. This makes one wonder if this exquisite structure was made by aliens? But this is only speculation, and it lacks scientific basis, because countless ancient exquisite buildings make this speculation self-defeating.

The expedition team searched for more than 10 kilometers under the waters of the "Devil's Triangle" and found nothing unusual.

The water depth of the Lao Ye Temple is generally more than 30 meters, and the deepest depth is about 40 meters. No shipwrecks have been found at the bottom of the lake, except for various large and small fish and mussels, not even a single shipwreck. So where did the more than 1,000 large and small ships that sank here for thousands of years go? The members of the expedition were confused.

Since the end of the 80s of the 20th century, scientists from all over the world have come to investigate the "Devil's Triangle" of Poyang Lake. In 1989, the United Nations Scientific Expedition Committee sent a scientific expedition to Poyang Lake for field investigations.

Solving the mystery of the shipwreck in the waters of the Lao Ye Temple ultimately depends on science. The science and technology departments concerned and some scientific and technological personnel have made some observations, explorations, and studies on the hydrology, meteorology, geography, and geology of this area for a long time, and the mystery has been initially solved.

One of the mysteries is that aquatic animals make waves. The gods of the Lao Ye Temple are the incarnation of giant turtles, so people in this area worship turtles, turtles and other water tribes as gods. The water area of Lao Ye Temple is more than 100 square kilometers and has become a natural protection area for animals in the lake, sailing ships go to the waters of Lao Ye Temple, set off firecrackers on the ship, its sound is a signal, throw offerings such as chickens and ducks into the water, and the animals in the lake come to compete for food. Local fishermen can sometimes see schools of fish scrambling to devour dead bodies, and any large fish or finless porpoise (commonly known as a boar) can overturn a sailboat. A famous worker of the county silica sand mine once took the "Jinggang No. 2" passenger ship to Jiujiang, and saw a big fish weighing about 150 kilograms chasing the passenger ship in the waters of 5 kilometers north of the Lao Ye Temple, and was crushed by the propeller on the head, and the passenger ship also swayed violently.

The second mystery is that the water flows chaotically to form a whirlpool. The hydrological situation of the waters of Lao Ye Temple is quite complex. The two islands of Songmen Mountain in Jishan stand horizontally in Poyang Lake, separating the waters of Lao Ye Temple from the large lake body of Nanhu, the Xiu River of the north branch of the Ganjiang River flows into the waters of Lao Ye Temple from the west of Jishan, and the Fu River, Rao River and Xinjiang River of the middle branch and the south branch of the Gan River flow into the south lake of Poyang Lake, and inject into the waters of Lao Ye Temple from the east of Songmen Mountain, and several strong water currents meet in the waters of Lao Ye Temple. Poyang Lake South Lake, the lake surface is open, the drop is not large, the flow is slow, except for the main trough, the flow rate is less than 0.3 m/s. After arriving at the water area of Lao Ye Temple, it suddenly narrows, which also causes the narrow pipe action of the water flow, so that the flow velocity gradually increases to 1.54-2.00 m/s, and the vortex is also generated in the main trough belt, which increases the danger of the water area.

The third mystery is that the underground electromagnetic field induces lightning. Han Lixian, a senior engineer of groundwater development in Jiangxi Province, surveyed Duchang Town, Jishan, Lao Ye Temple to Hukou and the area are limestone, which has many lithologies and is easy to dissolve, and has the natural conditions for forming a large underground karst cave group and underground dark river, and each karst cave has its own strange electromagnetic field formed directly above each dark river. During the 1998 flood, engineer Han Lixian used electromagnetic technology to test 5 kilometers south of the temple, and the result was a chaotic electromagnetic field, which can affect people's brain thinking, and can induce the contact of yin and yang electricity to produce lightning. As a result, there have been many lightning strikes along the lake, and the ship has sunk and people have died.

The fourth mystery is the formation of gales and tornadoes in the narrow tubes. At the beginning of 1985, Jiangxi Provincial Meteorological Science and Technology Personnel formed a special scientific research group and set up three meteorological observation stations near Lao Ye Temple to observe and study the meteorology of the water area for a year. From the collection of more than 200,000 original meteorological data, the water area of Lao Ye Temple is a rare windy area in Poyang Lake and even Jiangxi Province, with a maximum wind force of 16 and a wind speed of up to 200 kilometers per hour.

How is the gale formed? Scientific research has proved that the beautiful Lushan Mountain acts as the "culprit" of the gale.

The water area of Lao Ye Temple is 15 kilometers at its widest point and only 3 kilometers at its narrowest point. And this 3 km of water is located near the Lao Ye Temple. In the northwest of this 24-kilometer-long water, there stands the Lushan Mountain, which is "Qixiu Jiaxia". When the airflow goes down from the north to the south, that is, when the north wind blows, the southeast peak of Lushan compresses the airflow. According to the principles of fluid mechanics, the acceleration of the air flow begins here, and when it reaches the Lao Ye Temple, which is only 3 kilometers wide, the wind speed increases, and the wind roars and rushes in. The wind is strong and the waves are strong, and the impact of the waves is powerful. The wave is 2 meters high, and at this time, the hull of the ship will be hit by 6 tons of ram force per square meter, and the impact force of the wave for a ship with a deadweight of 20 tons will reach 120 tons, which is more than 5 times the weight of the ship. According to the survey, when a ship sinks, most of it is the result of wind and waves. In 1985, after nearly two years of investigation, the Poyang Lake Investigation Office of the Jiangxi Provincial Government found that there was a very destructive tornado in the waters every year, such as at 6 o'clock on August 3, 1985, a waterspout rolled up a sailboat more than 10 meters high and broke into pieces.

However, at least thousands of them sank into the lake, but no wrecks could be found.

Are there any visitors from outside the world in the waters of Lao Ye Temple?

Is the bottom of the water area of Lao Ye Temple connected with the dead lake of Changba Mountain?

Why is the Lao Ye Temple three-sided?

Is the Lushan Mountain, which was formed 200 million years ago, really the cause of the gale?

Why does the sun and clear sky suddenly roar and rain howl?

Why is there no shipwreck even after a rainy day?

One mystery after another, we still haven't seen the true face of the "Devil's Triangle" of Poyang Lake.
