Detailed introduction

There are all kinds of calligraphy and paintings on display in the patio corridor, which are all famous works describing the natural scenery of the mountain. The bronze unicorn "listening" is one of the precious cultural relics of Jiuhua Mountain. It is said that Jin qiaojue rode this Unicorn across the sea and came to Jiuhua Mountain from Silla. The bronze, weighing 250 kg, was given by the Ming emperor in the 17th century. The gold and jade seals given to the Bodhisattva in Jiuhua Mountain by emperors of all dynasties are engraved with the six characters of "the gold seal of benefiting the life of the earth". In 1705, Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty granted Jiuhua Mountain the imperial book "Jiuhua Holy Land". The emperor attached great importance to Buddhism in Jiangnan. In 1766, Emperor Qianlong, the grandson of Kangxi, gave Jiuhuashan the imperial book "fantuo PuJiao". In 1586, the Sutra of the Ming Dynasty was published in the 14th year of Wanli (1586 AD), which was a 6771 volume edition of the fifth year of the Ming Dynasty. It was mounted with brocade of different patterns and colors. It was given by Empress Dowager Su Huang, the mother of Ming Shenzong. In the 27th year of Wanli (1599 AD), Shenzong awarded "Wanli Wuxu year in July Fengzhi printed" edition, the specifications of which are similar to the orthodox edition. The imperial edict is well preserved. Scriptures are now stored in the Sutra building of Huacheng temple. Ancient Indian Buddhists carved scriptures on the leaves of bedoro, as thick as copper coins. It has a history of more than 1000 years. Hai Yu, an eminent monk of the Ming Dynasty, was a flawless writer of the blood Sutra. He spent 28 years studying the book of Huayan Sutra of Dafang Guangfo written by Yinzhu Rubi, which is known as the blood Sutra and the blood Sutra of the Ming Dynasty.

In the third year of Chongzhen (1630 A.D.), Zhu Sizong of the Ming Dynasty made a pilgrimage and granted the body of the flawless monk "Yingshen Bodhisattva" as a gift of gold. The book of blood was then protected as a treasure by the monks. On February 1, 1988, it was identified as a first-class collection by experts from the State Administration of cultural relics.
