This is a picture book of folk tales brimming with Eastern wisdom and childlike charm, adapted from a well-known legend from Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou. When a flying mountain is about to crash down on a village, Ji Gong cleverly uses a "bride-stealing" scheme to lead the entire village to safety. The story doesn't preach, but through laughter and banter, it shows children Ji Gong's kindness and ingenuity, teaching them the power of "solving problems from a different perspective." The ending, with 500 Arhats guarding the mountain and a clear spring flowing, transforms the crisis into eternal protection, conveying the optimism and responsibility of the Chinese people in the face of disaster. This is not only a delightful story, but also a traditional cultural gift for children, allowing ancient wisdom to shine brightly in contemporary childhood.
