The reason for the name

Yishan temple was built in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. It was named after Huan Yi, a famous politician, militarist and musician in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, who studied here when he was young. He studied martial arts in his childhood and lived in seclusion in his later years. Since the Taiyuan period of Jin Dynasty, Huizhi Zen master named Yishan temple

.

Huanyi, the character Shuxia, the character yewang, was born in Zixian County of Qiaoguo (now huisuxian county). After the battle of Feishui broke Fujian, he was granted the title of marquis Yongxiu. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Xiaowu of the Jin Dynasty moved to Huanyi, where he was in charge of the ten counties of Jingzhou and the four counties of Yuzhou. He was a military officer of Jiangzhou, a governor of Jiangzhou, a military officer of Yuzhou, a military officer of Youjun and a general of Sanqi

.

Yishan temple is famous for Huanyi, and its plum blossoms are famous in the south of the Yangtze River. It has attracted numerous famous officials and dignitaries because of its "Yunjin Meixiang". Zhang Lihua, empress Chen of the Southern Dynasty, also came here. When he was ten years old, Huan Yi lived here with his father Huan Jing (ren Danyang Yin, Marquis of Chang she), who was an official in Zhengxiang. When he was young, Huan Yi liked to visit yewangling (today's yunjinfeng) (excerpted from the official records of Hengzhou in Qing Dynasty). He was a military officer with a standard and simple style. He was well known by Wang Meng, the commander of situ, and Liu Zhen, the Yin of Danyang. He frequently participated in the military affairs of the government. In the eighth year of the Taiyuan Dynasty (383 AD), Fu Jian of the former Qin Dynasty invaded the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the south. Xie an, the prime minister, insisted on firm resistance. Huan Yi and general Xie Xuan and Xie Yan defeated Qin general Fu Rong in Feishui (the battle of Feishui in history) with 80000 elite troops. Fu Jian was injured by an arrow and fled back to the north. This war stabilized the partial security situation of the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Mei Hua San Nong

Huan Yi loved the plum flute all his life. He was good at music. He was the first on the left side of the Yangtze River. There was Cai Yong and Ke Ting who often played the flute himself. In October of the tenth year of the Taiyuan Dynasty, Emperor Xiaowu of Jin Dynasty indulged in wine and sex, ignored the government, and his power fell to Sima Daozi, the king of Langya. He was modest and plain. He retired after great achievements, lived in seclusion in Yishan, and enjoyed the charm of plum blossoms. He created the flute melody "three tunes of plum blossoms". Yan shigu, the famous Qin player of Tang Dynasty, changed it to Qin music. Zhu Quan compiled "magic secret score" in the first year of emperor Hongxi of Mingren (1425) 》After that, Li Fangyuan compiled the new score of the northern and southern Daqu pipa, and attached the introduction to beginner's studies, which was included in Huanyi's three tunes of plum blossom and named it Sannong of plum blossom. The scenic spot of Yishan is a place where the literati and poets of all dynasties "chant their victory". In the Tang Dynasty, Zhang you visited Yishan reading platform and chanted: "in the Jin Dynasty, there was a dream of clothes and crowns. Jinglan was a reading hall. Huanyi used to play keting flute and blow down the fragrance of plum blossoms." The title of Xianglin in Qing Dynasty is "Lu Ming Feng Shan". (the music is borrowed here - Huanyi's three lanes of plum blossom. Fengshan, or Fengling, is borrowed from Yishan to find the meaning of the legacy of Jin Dynasty.)
