Everyone was worried while digging stones, seeing that the midwinter season was coming, and the stones had not yet been transported out of the mountains. Everyone is sighing for a long time, suddenly there was a muffled thunder on the top of the mountain, a brocade silk floated down from the white clouds, the craftsmen hurriedly caught it, only to see a few lines of words looming on it, everyone suddenly realized after reading it, and acted according to it. When winter came, the people built a road from the mountains to Guancheng, splashed water on the road, made it form an ice road, and then put the stone strips on the ice road to slide and transport.

In order to thank God for his protection, the craftsmen built a temple near the castle to worship the gods, and it became a place where craftsmen must visit after leaving the school. **Jiayuguan Guancheng Scenic Area
