According to some media reports, many local fishermen pray to burn incense or hold a ceremony before they travel in the water.
"The storm could hit at any time," said Zhang Xiaojin (50), which has become a fisherman in the waters Laoye temple for 20 years. He and other fishermen are always careful to observe any small changes in the lake, no matter how far away they enter the lake.
"I remember one day in the winter of 2001, we were in the middle of the lake. At first everything looks fine, but suddenly the weather changed abruptly. The wave was so strong, that the ship tried to move closer to the edge of the lake, "Wang said Fangren, one who has experienced sailing for 50 years.

Strange Winds
Some time ago, a reporter from the Daily Jiangxi Laoye go into the water temple with a number of scientists. When he stood in the temple Laoye, he felt a strong wind blowing from south to north. But when he saw the water, visible sparks blowing from north to south. Apparently the wind was blowing from two opposite directions.
Then, when the wind was blowing, water splashing in the lake does not form a straight line but in the form of 'V'. Strange wind and splashing it makes it difficult for fishermen to tell the direction

Boat-Boat Tipping turning Without Visible Waves and Wind
However, people believe that this strange wind that made it into dangerous waters. Jin, Laoye temple abbot, said that on March 5 and then, when sunny weather, a ship weighing 1,000 tons, is inverted waters. No one knows what causes it.
In the view comprised of local, there is a legend that can explain what really happened. When Zhu Yuanzhang, founder of the Yuan Dynasty waged war against rival Chen Youliang near Poyang Lake, Zhu defeated and retreated to the edge of the lake. There are no boats on the lake, but a giant turtle emerged and helped Zhu cross the lake.
After Zhu became emperor, he made a turtle as a general and Laoye build a temple near the lake in remembrance of these turtles. Locals believe that the spirit is what has been disturbing turtle fishermen.
A local expert told the media that they have found what causes these dangerous waters.
"An infrared image shows that there is a cliff of sand with an altitude of about 6600, across from east to west, under the waters of the temple Laoye. This is what lead to the creation of swirling water below the lake. Whirls is very possible attractive and sink ships and a number of boats, "said the report.
However, this theory can not explain why the carcasses that sank the ship was never found.
