legend

It is said that in memory of Jie Zitui, it was expanded from Sheyao hospital. This jujube tree grows between the bell and drum towers of Shigu temple, surrounded by high stone platforms, and has not been well located. But this jujube tree is about 10 meters high, and it can't be hugged by an adult. Its bark is rough and white, and its branches are vigorous and branched. In autumn, the oval leaves are lush, dark red jujube like a pocket lantern hanging all over the branches, green leaves and red fruit, it is beautiful.

According to the county annals: in the Yuan Dynasty, there was the Yan family, wife of Zhang Xianzhi. Yan was good at giving alms to the poor. He built a medicine house beside the main road at the foot of Lianhua Mountain and offered it to the gods of jiezitui in Mianshan. One night, I heard people's voice and horse hissing. I heard it through the window and answered, "Jieshen garrison." The next day, the horse's hoof mark was found on the stone in the courtyard. Later, the sheyaoyuan was changed into jieshenxinggong, the predecessor of Shigu temple. The inscription on the existing tablet of Shigu hall is "the fourth year of Yanyou reign of the state of Da Yuan". It is certain that the shrine was founded in the Yuan Dynasty at the latest.

The stone drum rumbles when there is wind, so it is called the stone drum temple.
