Moreover, ever since the establishment of the Zhuxi Buddhist temple, every time a bodhisattva was anointed with water during consecration ceremonies, this very spring was chosen. During the grand consecration ceremony of Wangxian Temple in 2001, several elderly devotees in their seventies made strenuous efforts to carry water from here on their shoulders and by hand.
