Han Han Fount

    According to a beautiful legend, there was a man, named Han Han, with an eye disease— now is called cataract. The abbot of Huqiu Temple felt for him and adopted him as a monk in charge of carrying water for the temple. It was a long distance from the river to the temple, so he had to rest somewhere on the way. One day, he felt asleep there and dreamed an abbot told him a mouth of spring just under where he slept, which was directly running to the sea. He waked up and touched the ground finding some moss here. There must be water under the moss. So he began to dig with shoulder pole. After 49 days, water came out. Surprisingly, when his eyes touched the water, his eyes recovered. Thus it was naturally named Han Han Fount. Han Han also became a noted eminent monk in the Liang Dynasty (502-557).
