You have stepped on the sheep's intestines for a hundred times". Later generations call the boulder that Jiao Hong led his six disciples to sit on "qizitai" and the cave that he read at night "Zhuangyuan cave".

Buddhist culture

Tiantai Mountain has a long history of Buddhism and is full of fragrance. According to textual research, one of the eight major Buddhist sects, Tiantai Sect Chuang Shi Ren, the master of wisdom, became a monk in Jingju temple on the north side of Tiantai Mountain at the age of nine, went to Tiantai Mountain in Zhejiang Province to preach Buddhism at the age of 16, and later became Tiantai Sect. In his later years, he built 36 "Chicheng temples" in China, one of which is the Chicheng temple in Tiantai Mountain. In 2004, in order to promote Buddhist culture and develop tourism, the people's Government of Hong'an County invited master shiwule to Tiantai Mountain to rebuild Tiantai temple. With the strong support of all walks of life, it took only three years to build Shanmen, Zhongmen, Tianwang hall, Daxiong hall, Guanyin hall, zushi hall, Zhaitang, Jushi building, Seng chatting room and other buildings, absorbing more than 70 monks. On September 13, 2007, master Jinghui, executive vice president of the Buddhist Association of China, came to Tiantai temple to hold the opening ceremony and ascend master Wule. Master Wuyue, the abbot of Tiantai temple, graduated from Wuhan Conservatory of music in his early years. After becoming a monk, he devoted himself to interpreting the Buddhist spirit with music art. On the one hand, he preached Dharma to his disciples, on the other hand, he taught them music knowledge. Under his inspiration, many music professors from Wuhan and music talents from all over the country volunteered to work as voluntary music teachers in Tiantai temple. In 2009, Tiantai Temple officially established a Zen Music Art Troupe composed of monks and nuns. In 2011, it held many performances in Zhengzhou, Wuhan, Xiamen and other places, and CCTV and Phoenix Satellite TV reported and promoted it. Tiantai Zen Music has gradually become a major brand in the domestic Buddhist circles.
