brief introduction

Yuhuage is located at the ancient yuhuage site in the east of Yuhuatai scenic spot in Nanjing.

It is said that master Yun Guang, a famous monk of the time of Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty, was here to preach the Scriptures. Monks sat and listened. It lasted for several days and touched the sky like rain, so it was called Yuhuatai.

It was built in the Six Dynasties and lasted for more than a thousand years. It was the location of the "Yuhua Xiangji" in the 48 scenes of Jinling in the Qing Dynasty, and then it was abandoned.

Yuhuatai and yuhuage yuhuage, one of the "48 Jinling scenes" of the Qing Dynasty, was rebuilt in 1997 and is located on the ancient Yuhuatai site.

Buddhism prevailed in the southern and Northern Dynasties, especially in the area of Yuhuatai in the south of the city.

The poem "480 temples in the Southern Dynasties, many buildings in the misty rain" reflects the scene of that year.

They spoke wonderfully and listened attentively for a few days. They moved the Buddha. Rain flowers fell from the sky and fell to the ground as a stone, so they were called rain flower stone, and the rain flower terrace also got its name.

At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, there were buildings in Yuhuatai. In the late Qing Dynasty, Yunguang temple was built on the site, which was destroyed by war.

Today's rebuilt Yuhua pavilion has three layers and four eaves.

In the inner hall, there is a huge tile painting by master Yun Guang to trace the historical source of Yuhuatai.
