One saying is like this: once, 500 Lamas were playing music for
a fiesta in zhaomiao. Suddenly, a gale whirled and flying stones
and sands covered the zhaomiao. Another saying is that: in ancient
times, Zhang Guolao, one of the eight gods, carried a bag of sand
with his donkey. The lid of the ban was loosened and the sands
covered the temple at night. When sliding in the sand, it seems
that people could hear Lamas playing music and reciting scriptures
under ground. The story represents the cultural effects of a
Mongolian-populated area. It is said that there was a zhaomiao
Temple called "Yinkenzhao" buried under the sands.
