Legend of Wuyang statue

There is a beautiful legend about Wuyang stone statue. It is said that in Zhou Yiwang more than 2000 years ago, this place was vast and barren, and people worked hard all day to get enough food and clothing. One day, the sky was filled with Yue Xian. Five immortals wore colorful clothes, rode five sheep, and flew to Guangzhou with six ears of grain in their mouths. They left the ears of grain to the people of Guangzhou, wishing there would be no famine every year, and then drove Yunfei away, turning the sheep into stones. Since then, Guangzhou has become a land of wealth. This touching legend has been passed down from generation to generation, hence the names "Yangcheng" and "Guangzhou City". Wuyang stone statue has also become one of the symbols of Guangzhou city. Tales of the Five Immortals-On the 40th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, in order to further beautify the environment, 1990, under the care of the superior leaders, the original author Yin Jichang presided over the creation of two groups of relief stories of the Tales of the Five Immortals, and added archways, pavilions, terraces, corridors, monuments and other buildings, expanding the scenic area to nearly 10,000 square meters. On June 26th, 2006, the Organizing Committee of the 6th Asian Games held a ceremony to release the emblem of the 20th Asian Games at Zhongshan Memorial Hall in Guangzhou. Zhang Qiang, a Guangzhou designer, outlined a five-sheep stone statue shaped like a torch with soft rising lines, symbolizing that the flame of the Asian Games will burn brightly and never go out. This design not only symbolizes the "Yangcheng" of Guangzhou, but also expresses the good wishes of the people of Guangzhou, and also shows the dynamic nature of the Games. The design scheme became the emblem of Guangzhou Asian Games in 20 10.
