At that time, he Tao built the "Nanjing gate" on the mountain.

Suntan stone and yixiantian

Through the Nanjing gate to the left, there is a smooth stone on the top of the mountain. From sunrise to sunset, there is always sunshine. This is the famous "Sun Sutra stone", also known as "baopu sun Sutra". It is said that baopuzi was practicing immortality and learning Taoism in a nearby cave. The Scriptures he wrote were soaked in the rain and got the name from drying scriptures on this stone. According to the historical research, baopuzi was not the person, but the title of the book. He should be Ge Hong, a Daoist in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. There are gullies more than one meter wide and bottomless on the side of the stone. It's like cutting with a knife and axe. It's frightening and dizzy. Due to years of rain, its back has been filled with sand. Because it is beside the "Sun Sutra stone", some people call it the "Sutra library", while more people call it the "yixiantian".
