Human history

Most of them are famous mountain monks. Xiangershan is a beautiful place with outstanding people. Peng Zu, the 800 year old, lives here. Xianger temple is located on the root of xianger. Elephant is a kind of spirit and the mascot of Buddhism. It is said that Sakyamuni's mother once dreamed that a white elephant with six teeth would come to her heart to give birth to Sakyamuni. Therefore, Buddhism is also called elephant religion, and Buddhism is also called elephant law. This is one of the main bases for the site selection of Dasheng Temple (today's Elephant Ear Temple), which was first built in the northern and Southern Dynasties. She is not only located in Southwest Sichuan Minjiang River water and land, but also became a famous Buddhist resort in Sichuan more than 1000 years ago, attracting celebrities to write poems. There are many inscriptions on xianger mountain, including grottoes, wall reliefs, wall carvings, etc. "xianger cliff" is one of the ten sceneries of Pengshan in the old times.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, Wen Tong wrote a poem titled Xiang'er mountain, which said: "the valley is wandering, the rock road is poor, and the gate is open through the forest. The streams and mountains are all outside, and the halls are hidden in the arms. Like the pavilion Fu (f ú) on the bright sea day, the light building Yingling shakes the sky wind. " It is also recorded in the biography of continued eminent monks by master Daoliang of the Tang Dynasty and the biography of eminent monks of the Ming Dynasty by master ruxing of the Ming Dynasty that in the Sui, Tang and Song Dynasties, there were four eminent monks in Leshan and Meishan, three of whom were in xianger temple. They were the fatai of the Sui Dynasty, the Taoist Association of the Tang Dynasty and the master yuan (yuan) Jue of the Southern Song Dynasty. Xianger temple also has the tomb of the eminent monk da'er in the Qing Dynasty.

In front of the temple is a reservoir, named Taibai lake. Walking out of the temple and along the lake, there is Libai reading platform in the grass. According to the general records of Sichuan and the records of places of interest in Sichuan, when Li Bai was young, he traveled to study like an ear, but failed for several years and wanted to abandon his studies. Walking to the stream under the temple, I saw an old woman grinding an iron pestle. She was very strange and asked, "what's the use of grinding a pestle?" He said, "sharpen the needle to make it work." Li Bai was shocked, enlightened and returned. Later, he often ascended the stone and studied hard, and eventually became a great tool. "As long as the Kung Fu is deep, the iron pestle can be ground into a needle", which is the reason why this stone is also named "Libai reading platform". There is a poem in the complete works of Taibai: "the place where the elephant ears read, the white head is good to return." According to the records of Pengshan County, on the stone wall in front of the platform, there was a poem written by Du Guangting, a poet of the late Tang Dynasty: "there is still a reading platform in the mountains, and the wind sweeps clear and the painting opens. Huayue curling is still here. When will Qinglian come? " It is said that Lao Zi's surname was Wu, so later Li Bai named a rock beside the stream "Wu's rock" and named the place where the needle was sharpened "Mozhen stream".
