In the 17th year of Liang Tianjian (518), song Toutuo, a master from the western regions, came to Wushang Xiangshan from Jinling with an iron fish chime and found a temple in Longxi. In the first year of Tianjian (50th year), he went southward through Yushan, and the river overflowed. Master Zhang Gai was in the water, and the water flowed in disorder.

Historical evolution

Longpan temple was first built in the Tianjian period of the Liang Dynasty (520-527 AD), with a history of more than 1400 years. It is said that there were more than 120 temples in those years, with magnificent buildings and extraordinary momentum. There is a record in Volume 1 written by song Chou, a famous scholar in the Ming Dynasty: "in the 17th year of Liang Tianjian (518 AD), there was songtoutuo, a mage from the western regions. From Jinling (today's Nanjing) holding iron fish pan to Wushang (today's Yiwu) Xiangshan, find in Longxi temple. In the first year of Tianjian (520 A.D.), the river overflowed, and the master Zhang Gai was in the water. In jitingtang, he created Jialan in Xiaoshan (later named Shuanglin Temple) with the miracle of master Shanhui. At the foot of the south mountain of Dachang mountain (the name of ancient Jinhua County), Longpan temple was built. According to the Qing Dynasty "Guangxu Jinhua county annals," Daci Temple is 70 Li to the east of the county. In the ordinary room of Liang Dynasty, Fu Toutuo walked to the south of Changshan and said, "I can set up a temple.". He also stabbed the ground with his staff, that is, it was three feet deep through the well. After a long drought, there was Longpan temple. Song Weiping (AD 948-1003) changed the present amount. It can be seen that Longpan temple was once called Daci Temple. Longpan temple was destroyed after standing for more than 1300 years. It was the age of Weifeng in the Qing Dynasty (1816 AD), because of the chaos of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Only one side hall was left. The famous Jinhua temple has become a pure land, and the millennium old temple has become debris and weeds. Only in the Spring Festival, there are still some cigarettes here, and people come here to pay homage.

Since 1979, villagers Mao Zhengui, Huang Qichao, Hu Maolin and Fang Guifen of zhongrou village have launched activities to restore the old view of Longpan temple. In 1981, they rebuilt the Guanyin Pavilion and took the first step to restore the ancient temple.

In 1984, in order to strengthen the management of the temple and expand external publicity activities, Fang Guifen and others went to Xiangshan temple in Yiwu and invited master Rongfa, a local monk who had been a monk since childhood and was the abbot of Xiangshan temple, to preside over Longpan temple. Master Rongfa is a member of Zhejiang Province and Jinhua Buddhist Association, and a member of Yiwu Municipal Committee of the Chinese people's Political Consultative Conference. He made use of his social relations, spared no effort to raise money for the statue of Longpan temple, and raised a lot of money to lay the foundation for the revival of Longpan temple. Fang Guifen devoted herself to the restoration of the construction of Longpan temple. She carefully managed the financial affairs and daily affairs of the temple, supervised and arranged the construction, and accepted pilgrims and visitors from all sides. Due to the orderly division of internal and external work, each party has its own responsibilities, and relies extensively on the masses, the reconstruction work is progressing smoothly.

In 1987, new daily rooms such as Zhaitang, monk's room and guest room were built. Then, the grand Tianwang hall, Daxiong hall, bell tower, Drum Tower, dizangwang Bodhisattva hall, sutra building, chanting hall, corridor and other Buddhist buildings were built year by year. The Xiaomei Pavilion, Shanle Pavilion, amusement bridge, tianfushou bridge and release pool were built. And the turtle fish, planting flowers to decorate the temple courtyard. Later, Qingxiu nunnery was built to add more scenery to Longpan temple. Nowadays, the stone lion stands at the gate of the hall, and the Scriptures are stored in the inner court. In the hall, the flag of Buddha is high, the Dharma phase is solemn, and the cigarettes are around. Morning bell and evening drum can be heard far and near. The temple has unique flowers and plants, fountains and flowing water. The four seasons are different, and the eight festival flowers are often in bloom. Longpan temple is full of vitality after recovery. In particular, in 1994, the main hall of the temple was completed. Daxiong hall and Tianwang hall are in the same central axis, with a width of 22 meters, a depth of 15 meters and a height of 12.5 meters. Inside and outside the hall are painted pillars, carved beams, corbels, sparrows and Dougong, all decorated with exquisitely carved birds and animals, lifelike and resplendent. On the central throne of the hall, there is a statue of Sakyamuni sitting in incense stick wood, decorated with real gold, with a kind face and solemn appearance. There is a corridor between the main hall and the dormitory, with a long corridor outside, long walls around, green tiles and pink walls, which is particularly eye-catching. The whole building is elegant in shape, rigorous in structure, simple in style and magnificent. It is a prominent Buddhist temple in Jinhua County.

After more than ten years of painstaking management, Longpan temple has gone through all kinds of calamities and recovered after the fire. All this depends on self-reliance, and all the construction funds are raised by the people, which is commendable.

Scenery of Zen Temple

As the saying goes: "the mountain is not high, there is a fairy name.". The water is not deep, the dragon is the soul. In the south of Longpan temple and the north of zhongrou village, there is a famous legend that there is a dragon hidden in the pool. In the year of drought, if you sincerely pick it up and respect it, there will be heavy rain in three days to relieve the drought. The water in the pool is clear and clear. When you approach Longtan, you can't see its source and outlet. It can be said that at the end of the mountain, there is no way to go. There is another village with hidden willows and bright flowers. Visitors have to choose the road far upstream from the pool and walk on the back of Longtan. The water is sandwiched between the left and right mountains by a small rock hill, and the water flows zigzag to the rock fissure, thus forming a peculiar Longtan waterfall, which flows down and into Longtan, like a silver chain flying, wanzhizhuji flowing into the deep pool, ice flowers and jade chips, reflecting the sun into a rainbow. On the left side of the pool stands a small hill with a round top like a ball. On the right side of the pool, the stone walls of the big mountain soar in the sky. The mountains are densely forested, just like the head of a lion. The mountain blocking the flow of people is just like the arms of a lion. It's right-hand and right-hand, holding the small hill like a ball. The local people say that it's a double lion fighting for the ball. Longtan waterfall is a unique natural landscape. The left and right wings of Longpan temple are surrounded by green mountains, just like two proud flying green dragons. The middle peak stands as high as a pearl, so it is named "Zhushan". Local people call it "Qinglong Panzhu". Longpan temple also got its name. There is a strange stone on the south slope of Zhushan mountain. There is a smooth crack in the stone. The stone is cut on two sides from top to bottom. It is said that it was the place where the Huang Chao uprising tried the sword, so this stone is called "broken sword stone". The right stone of the Dao is 2.5 meters high and 2.1 meters wide. It looks like hanging upside down. Its mouth is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. Surrounded by mountains, mountains and rivers, green pines and bamboos, the rocks are fresh and elegant, and visitors will never forget to return. It's said that Huang Chao came here to ask heaven to test his Dao, so it's called Huang Chao test Dao stone, commonly known as broken Dao stone.

There are two peaks on the south side of Zhushan mountain. They are like a pair of lions standing back and forth. There is a round hill between the left and right sides of the lion. Its peak is like a ball. The local people call it "two lions fighting for the ball". At the waist of this peak are
