Main attractions

Jinggong calligraphy Hall

Jinggong Shutang was the place where Wang Anshi taught and studied at that time. It was in the south of Daming Temple. In those days, the poet lived here for many days. It can be imagined that when he was drinking in the wind, looking at the green mountains and overlooking the flowing spring, he was so carefree. The spirituality of mountains and rivers nurtures Wang Anshi's achievements. He not only became a powerful figure in the political arena of the Northern Song Dynasty, but also became a rare literary giant in the history of Chinese literature. "The mountains and rivers are blessed with talents, and spring is always here." Jinggong Shutang, which has disappeared for a long time, is still pregnant with the vicissitudes of a cultural resort in the feelings of mountains and rivers, and the elegant demeanor of the ruins and ancient temples is still charming.

It is said that Wang Anshi wrote "Zhong Lingyu Xiu" in calligraphy. At that time, the temple of Daming Temple was magnificent, and it was also known as the famous Buddhist place in Southeast China together with the Qingliang Temple of Zhongming lion mountain. "Tongling County annals" records that "Hu Shunyuan, young, studied with Wang Anshi, Daming Temple, inkstone mat.". Hu Shunyuan, named Shucai and Yian, was born in boiling water (now Shunan Town, Tongling County) of hongkouqi, Tongling County in the Northern Song Dynasty. Later, he went to the Hanlin academy to write. He was a good friend of Wang Anshi in Tongling. In order to facilitate Wang Anshi's gathering and lecturing in Tongling, Hu Shunyuan built a book Hall for Wang Anshi, which is called "Fengyuan hall", and is known as "Jinggong book Hall". In order to thank his friends, Wang Anshi also presented a poem "to Hu Shunyuan gongfengyuan hall": "I love Tongguan well, you are a real family. The mountains and rivers are intertwined, and the flowers are beautiful in spring. There are birds singing in the forest, and there are fresh fish in Yuechi. Ye mountain is steep and steep, and it is beautiful to the southeast. The sun is watching the mountains, and the clouds are far away. When guests gather here, the cup should stay. Your family is gentle and elegant, and your children are well-known. The day before yesterday, it was called Fengyuan. Aspire to the ancient road and write Gao Xian with passion. The name of the hall is so deep that it should be moved. The wood is luxuriant and precious, and the root is cultivated. I'd like to present a little poem. " From then on, Wang Anshi read and lectured all day.

Lingdou spring

Back of Daming Temple, north of Huangling mountain. The mountain is surrounded by luxuriant forests and bamboos, surrounded by clouds and fog, and the beautiful scenery is very pleasant. The steep rock walls are moist all the year round. There are two stone holes in the shape of crab's eyes, from which two streams of clear water gush all the year round. This is called "Lingdou spring" (also known as Lingbao spring and Haiyan spring). When summer flood and autumn rain come, spring water gushes out; in dry season, it flows slowly. Lingdou spring, with its ever-changing form in four seasons, has become a strange landscape of the ancient copper capital. Wang Anshi wrote a poem titled Lingdou spring in those years, which said: the hillside stone has been moistened for thousands of years, and the Haiyan spring never dries in a day; the people in the world look at the rain, but who knows that the dragon is rolling here.

According to the records of Tongling County annals written by Qianlong, there is Lingdou spring on the hillside of Yeshan mountain. The spring has two eyes and looks like crab eye, so it is called crab eye spring and a sea eye spring. There is Daming Temple (also known as Dajue Temple) on the side. This poem is mentioned on the wall of the temple. According to folklore, there are six springs in Lingdou spring. The spring never dries all the year round, and there was a dragon with stone.
