Origin Story
传说，在很久以前，有一个名叫圆泽的和尚，他与好友李源一起游览长江三峡。他们走到一处山清水秀的地方，圆泽看到一位孕妇在河边汲水，便对李源说：“我三天后就要投胎到这位孕妇家里，我们约定十二年后的中秋节夜晚，在杭州天竺寺相会。”十二年后，李源如约来到杭州天竺寺，果然看到了一个十二岁的牧童，他正在寺庙里唱歌，歌词是：“三生石上旧精魂，赏月吟风不要论，惭愧情人远相访，此身虽异性常存。”李源听后顿时明白，这个牧童就是当年的圆泽和尚，于是两人相拥而泣，感慨人生际遇的奇妙。
Legend has it that a long time ago, there was a monk named Yuanze. He and his friend Li Yuan traveled to the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River. When they arrived at a beautiful place, Yuanze saw a pregnant woman drawing water by the river, and he said to Li Yuan, "I will be born into this pregnant woman's home in three days. We agreed to meet at the Tianzhu Temple in Hangzhou on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival in twelve years.". Twelve years later, Li Yuan came to the Tianzhu Temple in Hangzhou as promised, and sure enough, he saw a twelve-year-old shepherd boy singing in the temple. The lyrics were: "Old soul on the stone of three lives, don't talk about admiring the moon and the wind, it's embarrassing that my lover came to visit from afar, this body is different, but the essence remains the same.". Li Yuan immediately understood that this shepherd boy was the monk Yuanze from the past, and they embraced and cried, marveling at the wonders of life.
