History of scenic spots

The origin of the name

Langshan, also known as Langshan, Zilang mountain, Wulang mountain, Bailang mountain and Baota Mountain. Langshan got its name. It is said that there is a white wolf in the mountain. Second, it is said that the mountain looks like a wolf.

Langshan had been named during the Tianbao period of Tang Dynasty. The name of Langshan was first seen in the biography of the great monk of Tang Dynasty, which recorded monk Jianzhen's eastward journey. Jianzhen passed Langshan in the seventh year of Tianbao (748 A.D.), "on June 27, it came from chongfushou, and went down to Langshan in Changzhou by boat. The wind was swift and the waves were high, and the mountain was whirling". Today, there is Jianzhen Dongdu memorial tower in longzhaoyan of Huangni mountain. The name of Langshan is also mentioned in Zizhitongjian in the second year of Qianfu (875 A.D.).

During the Chunhua period of the Northern Song Dynasty, Yang Jun, a state official, thought that the word "wolf" was not elegant and replaced it with the word "Lang". Because most of the stones at the northern foot of Langshan were purple brown, he felt that "the smoke was shining and the dusk was purple, so it was called Zilang mountain".

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Bao Zhuangxing wrote "Bailang mountain used to live in the water, but boasted of being on the margin of the river". Because there is a pagoda on the top of Langshan Mountain, it is also called pagoda mountain.

Construction history

Langshan Buddhist temple was established in the second year of Tang Zongzhang (AD 669), the first to build Daxiong hall. At that time, there were records about the "floating Tu on the top of the mountain", which showed that the pagoda had been built on the top of Langshan Mountain at that time, and the structure of Langshan temple had been initially established as early as the early Tang Dynasty.

During the Taiping period of the Northern Song Dynasty (976-984 AD), the cloud tower was built.

geographical environment

History of land formation

The five mountains in Langshan Scenic Spot are formed by strong crustal movement and sea land changes, with a history of 350-400 million years, one million years earlier than the Himalayas. 7500 years ago, Langshan was an island in the vast sea.

2000 years ago, a large amount of sediment from the upper reaches of the Yangtze River gradually accumulated in today's Nantong area, making most areas of Nantong become complementary and connected sandbanks between the estuary and the seaside.

During the Jin Dynasty, Langshan moved from the South Bank of the Yangtze River to the center of the river along with the main stream of the Yangtze River. In Tang Dynasty, langwu mountain was still a small island floating in the Yangtze River Estuary. In the early Song Dynasty, the five mountains gradually connected with the land. In 1031, Langshan went up to the north bank.

During the yuan and Ming Dynasties, Junshan once entered the river again, and it was not until the last year of Kangxi (around 1722) that it merged with the mainland again. From then on, the history of the five mountains ended at sea and officially landed on the land.
