Development history

The Tianping mountain was formed in the orogeny 136 million years ago, and the mountain is composed of K-feldspar and granite. When the crust is uplifted into a mountain, one or more parts of the strata are dislocated or distorted up and down, and the fault inclination of Tianping mountain is large and nearly vertical. After hundreds of millions of years of wind and rain exposure, the weathered part peels off, and the remaining hard part stands up, as if wanhu is facing the sky.

In the second year of Tang Baoli, monk Yong'an built baiyun temple, also known as Tianping temple, at the southern foot of the mountain. There is Baiyun spring in the middle of the mountain. The spring is clear and sweet. Lu Yupin is "the first water in Wuzhong". Because of Bai Juyi's poem "Baiyun spring", the name of Tianping mountain is more famous.

In the sixth year of Tiansheng in the Northern Song Dynasty (1028), Seng Zewu rebuilt an nunnery on the Baoli site. In the fourth year of Qingli (1044), Fan Zhongyan, a political advisor, got to set up Gongde Temple because his ancestral tomb was at the eastern foot of Tianping. So he asked baiyun'an to change Gongde xianghuoyuan and Renzong to grant the temple and mount. Therefore, Tianping mountain is also known as granted mountain, commonly known as fanfen mountain. Fan Zhongyan's three generations, including Zeng, Zu and Fu, were all given to the Duke of the state, so fan's tomb was called the third Grand Master's tomb. During the Shaoxing period of Song Dynasty, Qingzhou, where the Zhonglie temple was originally dedicated to Fan Zhongyan, was occupied by Xixia, so it was rebuilt to the west of baiyun temple.

During the Wanli period, fan Yunlin, the 17th grandson of Fan Zhongyan and the right counsellor of Fujian's chief envoy, abandoned his official position and returned to the Soviet Union. He planted 380 Liquidambar formosana seedlings brought back from Quanzhou in Tianping mountain. Forty three years later, because of the two wars in Tianping, "it became a barren hill, a jungle for hundreds of years, rubble In the autumn of Yu Yimao's reign, Mao Ci was slightly repaired and his position was slightly established "(fan Yunlin: collection of Shu Liao Guan). In the southern foot of the mountain to build another industry balance villa, spring for the marsh, frame with stone beams, pavilion pavilion with the mountain cascade, on the surface, row upon row, distant view, such as the painting in the fairy mountain Pavilion.

There is a couplet in the hall: "the green water rushes down in front of the door, and the green hills jump out of the room.".

In the 12th year of Chongzhen's reign, he came to visit the village and called it a garden because of the mountains. The success of the pavilions and pavilions was "the first in Wuzhong. Every three spring, when ye Lang traveled, the female boats gathered in the river, and the baskets and fish ran through the streets"; in the 28th year, when he visited the village later, the garden was "rough with grass".

In the eighth year of the reign of Emperor Qianlong, the villa was rebuilt and completed. It was renamed as the old Shanlu, Tang Ge, Ting Xie.
