During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang brilliantly trapped his rival Sima Yi in the Hulugu (Gourd Valley) and set it ablaze. Sima Yi was facing certain death (the fire) when a sudden, miraculous torrential downpour extinguished the flames, saving his life (the lotus blooming in the fire). It symbolizes a divine escape from certain ruin.
