Welcome stone

When you enter Lingshan temple, the first thing you see is a big stone, smooth and smooth. This is the welcome stone. It is not an ordinary stone, but a "guard" around the Buddha. Legend: mortals revere Buddha so much that the Buddha is very moved. He specially appointed this guard to stand on the roadside to welcome pilgrims who go to Lingshan to worship Buddha. Pilgrims should not regard it as a stone, but as a God. When they meet, they need to make a collection.

Lingshan Temple

Before the end of the Qing Dynasty, Lingshan ancient temple had a large scale, including Daxiong hall, Guanyin hall, dizang hall, zushi hall, Weituo hall, Tianwang hall, yitianmen, Longwang hall, Zhonggulou, Zen hall, Zhaitang, Liaofang, etc. There are many stone tablets in the temple. Liu Wenjing, Li Shimin's military adviser in the late Sui and early Tang Dynasties, Li Deyang, Guangde Prefecture magistrate in the Ming Dynasty, Chen Xi, the head of the Department of business and repair of the Ministry of industry in the Qing Dynasty, Zhou Guangye, a scholar in Guangde Prefecture during the reign of Emperor Qianlong, and others have left beautiful poems here. There are some remnant inscriptions in the Tang Dynasty: "the mountains are deep with white clouds, and the ancient temples are covered with bamboo trees. The cliffs are towering and the strange rocks hold them for thousands of years. The long roar on the stage startles the foot of the forest, and the wine sings with emotion A piece of flowers bloom and spring is about to end. The east wind sings and the birds know their friends. It can be seen that at that time, the temple was deep and big, and the weather was extraordinary.

Cornucopia

Lingshan Temple East lawn has a slate, the middle depression like basin, called cornucopia, also known as oil and salt tank. It is said that in the past, some silver often appeared in this pot, which is inexhaustible. The monks wanted to get more silver, so they began to chisel the mouth of the basin. When they went to get the silver the next day, they found that there was no silver in the basin, only some copper money, which was only enough to buy oil and salt. The greedy monks regretted that they were not greedy enough, and the result was just the opposite. Since then, monks have called this cornucopia oil salt tank.

Eight trigrams well

The well head is octagonal and the water is clear. It is called Bagua well. It is said that on the birthday of the Tathagata Buddha, Emperor Lao Jun sent his eldest disciple guangchengzi to Lingshan to celebrate the birthday of the Tathagata Buddha. The Buddha warmly entertained him and sent Ananda to accompany him to browse the scenery of Lingshan. The beautiful scenery of Lingshan made guangchengzi ecstatic. When he left, he lost his Bagua mirror. Over the years, a well appeared where the eight trigrams mirror was lost, and people called it the eight trigrams well.

Temple guard golden dog

This stone is like a dog, watching the front warily. It is the golden dog guarding the temple. Jin qiaojue, the prince of Xinluo (the incarnation of the king of Tibet), came to Lingshan to pray for Buddhist scriptures. His dog, because he was infatuated with the fairyland of Lingshan, did not want to leave, so he appealed to his master to leave it in Lingshan to serve the Buddha. Jin qiaojue worships the Buddha and agrees to the dog's request. Therefore, this dog became the golden dog of Lingshan temple.

Three images listening to scriptures

There are three stones, two big and one small, beside Puxian platform, which are very similar to three elephants listening to Puxian Bodhisattva explain Buddhist scriptures. So it's called doing three elephants to listen to scriptures. There is also a legend here. A long time ago, there were three elephants in mianhuashan, a male elephant, a female elephant and a little elephant. They were a family. Gong Xiang believed in Buddhism. He often took his wife and children to the Puxian platform of Lingshan mountain to listen to the Buddha's explanation of Buddhist scriptures. The more he listened, the more interested he was and the more he felt. He was unwilling to leave. The three members of his family simply settled down here and became Buddhists for a long time. Their mortal bodies remained here and evolved into the present three stones.

A large stone slab lies flat on the Lingshan mountain. The front edge is a cliff. On the side of the stone, there are three words carved: "jiexutai". Who is the title of the name and when it was carved? If we can't find out, the meaning of the word is: exclude, remove. Sullen: anger can also be understood as annoyance. If you are depressed and full of troubles, you will find the scenery charming and the breeze blowing on your face. You will feel comfortable and relaxed, and your worries will disappear. Just as Fan Zhongyan said in Yueyang Tower: when you bring wine to the wind, you will be happy!

Book cloud pen

A big stone stands tall, like a big brush, depicting the clouds in the clear sky, so it is called the cloud pen.

Reading Yidong

Under the cloud pen, there is a small stone house, in which there is a stone bed, lying on it, cool and comfortable, with the feeling of floating for immortals. This is reading the easy hole.

Later, Liu Wenjing went out of the mountain to join Li Shimin and became Li Shimin's early military adviser, making great contributions to Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. Later generations called the place where Liu Wenjing lived in seclusion in the mountains to study the book of changes the reading cave.

Zhong Gushi

Zhonggu stone, also known as Xianqiao pier: a large stone, shaped like a bell and a drum, is called Zhonggu stone. It is said that Luban and Gongsun Shu went to Lingshan to play. When they strolled here, they looked up and saw Jiexun platform on Lingshan. Luban and Gongsun Shu discussed how to build a bridge here to connect Lingshan and Qipan mountain! They moved this stone here and put it as a bridge pier. However, they couldn't find a long stone to make a immortal bridge pier. The bridge was not built. Later, people called this big stone immortal bridge pier. I don't know how many years later, an able man came. As Luban and Gongsun Shu thought, they finally built an invisible bridge here to connect Lingshan mountain and Qipanshan Mountain. Immortals often roam on the bridge, playing chess and talking scriptures on the top of the two mountains. Ordinary people have no chance to see this strange landscape. However, some people have chance to see it. The Invisible Bridge suddenly shows its magnificent posture like a mirage and disappears in a flash. If you want to see this fairy bridge, it depends on the opportunity of people.

Qipanshan

There is a big stone near xianqiaodun. It is said that a woodcutter saw two fairy leaders, LV Dongbin and Chen Tuan, playing chess on it. After watching for three days and three nights, he still didn't win or lose. Seeing that the woodcutter was still watching chess, LV Dongbin reminded him, "you have been up the mountain for three days, and you can't go home as soon as possible.". The woodcutter suddenly realized that it had been three days since he went up the mountain. But the chess game is not over yet. It's a pity that I haven't finished watching it. The woodcutter said to LV Dongbin, "I'm obsessed with chess. If I don't watch the end of it, it will be a pity for me all my life. I hope the fairy will understand.". LV Dongbin picked up a stone board and put it on the chessboard, saying: "you left home for three days, and there is no rice for porridge at home. Do you want to stay?" With that, LV Dongbin and Chen Tuan left on the cloud, and the woodcutter had to go home. Chaifu recalled the chess game, deeply understood, and went out to seek wealth. A few years later, the woodcutter became the prime minister. Every other year, he would go to the edge of the immortal chess board and wait for the two immortals to play chess here. After a long time, the woodcutter would play chess
