Meaning of "boluoyu": boluoyu --- its name comes from the Buddhist Prajna paramita Sutra, which means "great wisdom", "boluoyu" means "the other side", "honey" means "arrival" and "Duo" means "going up".

Main attractions

Xiangshan Temple site

Located in the Baltic valley. According to the records of Licheng county annals compiled in the Ming Dynasty, Xiangshan temple was first built in the first year of Zhenguan (627) of the Tang Dynasty. At that time, it was called Ganlu temple. It was a famous temple with a radius of 100 li. Since then, it has been flourishing for more than 200 years. In the period of emperor Wuzong of Tang Dynasty (841-846), the Buddha was destroyed and the Ganlu temple was abandoned. After Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty (846), Buddhism rose again and Ganlu temple was restored. However, Huang Chao, the leader of the peasant uprising, took the Ganlu temple as a military camp and set it on fire before the uprising attacked Chang'an. After the monks came back, they repaired it a little. Later, because of the fierce fighting, Ganlu temple was destroyed several times and rebuilt several times. In 1538, Ganlu temple was rebuilt and renamed Xiangshan temple. It became a big temple and made great contributions to the promotion of Buddhism and Buddhist culture. During the reign of Emperor Qianlong (around 1775) in the Qing Dynasty, Xiangshan temple was damaged because of the disturbance of evil monks. Wang chutong, a famous poet in the late Qing Dynasty, once came here to trace. When he saw the desolate ruins, he couldn't help feeling very much. He wrote a poem: quanluzhuang and yeyunping, the dew still exists, and the temple name was abandoned. The site of Xiangshan Temple lies on the back of Foshan, and the Sansheng Buddha cave. More than 200 years ago, there were hundreds of monks chanting sutras and chanting scrolls. The incense kept burning, and the Buddhist trumpets were chanting at dusk drum and morning bell. Today, however, there are only pieces of bricks and tiles, which make people feel the vicissitudes of time and the impermanence of the world. In 1992, the highly respected Master of vowels came to Xiangshan temple to pray for the people. See its back against Foshan, before even Apricot Garden, Sansheng Buddha cave close at hand, towering ancient trees, lush, can not help but praise.

With the joint efforts of many Buddhist believers, the landscape of Xiangshan temple is gradually recovering.

Spring of youth

It is said that during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, a monk with the name of "Decai" was determined to rebuild the Ganlu temple in boluoyu, but he had no water. One evening on the East Mountain, he was looking for water in the valley. Just as he was weak and thirsty, he suddenly heard the sound of gurgling water in front of him. Although the sound was not loud, it was extremely clear. He found a spring in a ravine. He was overjoyed. After drinking a mouthful, he suddenly felt as if he was refreshing. When the rain is abundant, the current is as thick as a finger. It ticks on dry days and never stops in winter. Therefore, a small pool is built to store it. After drinking, the spirit is doubled, the energy is surging, the heart is strange, go up the mountain to find the source, see a thousand years of ginseng, the water flushes its roots into the spring. Since then, Decai and other monks have been drinking the spring water and burning green bricks to build Xiangshan temple. Later, he dug out the ginseng, soaked it in spring water, sprinkled and bathed the pilgrims, and gave it to the common people to get rid of diseases. So the common people called the spring "not old spring". For hundreds of years, monks have been making pilgrimages, pilgrims have been making pilgrimages, and people have been reclaiming their fields. They all have to go to the spring to drink its water and see its charm.
