Taibai Library

Taibai Library

Taibai calligraphy hall, first built in the early Jiaxi period of the Southern Song Dynasty (about 1237 AD), was founded by Cai Yuanlong, the magistrate of Qingyang County, in memory of Li Bai's second visit to Jiuhua. Two ancient ginkgo trees in the courtyard, commonly known as "living fossils", belong to the third century. There is a Taibai well beside the trees, which was first chiseled in the Song Dynasty. It is said that Li Bai cooked and tasted tea here. In 1991, the reconstruction of dizang Bodhisattva Christmas day was completed, covering an area of 1800 square meters. Taibai library is adjacent to Dongya Hotel and Julong hotel. The main arm is tall, solemn and simple, the window is bright and clean, the environment is quiet and elegant, and it has a unique style of Southern Anhui dwellings. There are four treasures of high-grade study and famous people's calligraphy and painting for sale in the hall, which is the best place for Jiuhua Mountain Buddhist holy land to receive poets and scholars. Out of Taibai book Hall, you can visit fahua temple, Li'an, etc.

Development history

It is said that Li Bai, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, lived in seclusion in Jiuhua Mountain. At first, there were three thatched cottages. Later, they were abandoned and built again and again. The scale gradually expanded. It became a gathering place for Li Bai's remains and literati who were often visited by tourists. During the Republic of China, the library was destroyed again. In recent years, it has been rebuilt on the old site, becoming an important landscape on Jiuhua Mountain. Together with Taibai well, Taibai wash inkstone pool, Taibai hand planted ginkgo tree, Taibai hand written "Jinsha spring" inscriptions, etc., they form the famous group of Libai in Jiuhua Mountain, which is often visited by tourists.

It has horns, teeth and scales. It looks like a huge ship. It is engraved with the word "stone boat" and is known as the "cloud boat" on Dongya. On the boulder, there is Yan sitting on the rock, which is the place where Yan was born in Jindi. Wang Shouren of Ming Dynasty visited Jiuhua two times, and there is a poem "sitting on the rock at the end of the day and falling flowers". There is duiyun cave in the East, which was once the residence of jindizang, so it is also called dizang cave. In ancient times, there was a temple named Yan Zuotang, which was built in the Ming Dynasty (157-1620). Destroyed by fire in 1933, the only remaining Bell Pavilion is a two-story pavilion with six corners and an ancient "Youming bell" hanging inside. The bell sounds thick and long, ringing all over the mountain.
